    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Being able to string words together is what separates us from other species.

    What Riley did to Wade? What, offer him $10M?

    He should stay in Utah honestly.

    Tough call.

    If all star teams and a chance to play for a title are his priorities, then going east makes more sense. If money is it, then stay

    According to all the damn media, he likes all three places. Utah for being familiar obviously and apparently he liked the Rubio signing. Then they say he liked the Heat presentation and the idea of being the number one option for scoring. Then Boston because obviously the Brad Stevens connection and the fact they could compete with Cleveland in the east. Who knows, I assume we will know tonight or by the morning, Jazz just ended their meeting with him. Last one

    He should go to Boston. I hope he does. Might make Crowder available for us and it weakens a team in the West and in our division.

    It makes too much sense for Hayward to go East. Brad Stevens, title contention, all-star games...

    All I know is that his wife reportedly likes Miami. During the season, Miami doesn't suck, and they have beautiful beaches. AND no state taxes

    He has stated that location means nothing to him.

    This is Curry's team, he can win a championship without Durant.
    Durant is expandable, he joined them so he can have some of their glory. KD should definitely be the one getting less money.

    Are you implying his wife is going to leave him if he doesn't pick Miami?

    I'm sure she likes it there, she also probably wants him to make the decision he feels is best for his career.
