    Yeah a lot of all-star level players that aren't top10 players just don't have value on max contracts now. It used to be all of these guys were the most valuable players in the league and the key to contending was getting 2-3 of them.

    Today guys like Deni/Camara are way more valuable.

    I'm not sure that's true:

    might be a championship investment

    the key is the cost of the rest of the roster. Those two stars, 84.3M; the other 12 players, 84.8M

    I rarely flip off my TV, but when I do, I flip off Steve Javie.

    I guess Pritchard and Buchanan knew what they were doing.

    Yep. This is exactly the management structure I wanted with Pritchard as president and Chad as the GM.

    And I've wanted Carlisle as coach since Dunleavy was fired.

    And Paul (all due respect) just needed to shut up and write the checks.

    Who had Indiana on their bingo card?

    Pacers have been my favorite eastern conference team going back to the mid 90’s.

    I told another poster on here right before the playoffs that I doubt OKC wins it all. Nothing comes that easy. Especially championships. Next year they’re my favorite to win it all tough

    It's felt like it's been all Pacers and they only hae a 7 point lead. They've really taken SGA out of this game... I mean he has 20 but it feels like they've taken him out of the game.

    How come Kevin Durant doesn’t he “prefer” to home to the Wizards?

    Kind refreshing to not see stars in this finals that whine over every call or non call
