    How did he gamble to win? He gambled on Aldridge staying and the status quo.

    I think we'll be able to open up the Full MLE. I think Hood might be able to be resigned for the tax though.

    It's based off record. They're in different conferences, so seed doesn't matter.

    Outside of no more ET I wish the Blazers were willing to trade for AD, really trading CJ and a pick and whatever to make it work
    would be really similar to what Toronto did last summer. I dont believe that NO is willing to take that risk of AD leaving though.

    Would you have rented Kawhi for a year to experience this? I would have traded the future for a chance at this. Yes.

    The Eastern Conference... A perfect example of how great the NBA could be with parity. Toronto needed a buzzer beater in game 7 to beat Philadelphia. Boston should've been able to give Milwaukee a run. Now Toronto is in the Finals. The basketball was so entertaining. Imagine if the West was like that with multiple teams having a legitimate chance at the Finals. Imagine if the Warriors didn't exist. Sigh.

    Bucks fans must be feeling even more cursed than Blazers fans. Number one seed, probable MVP, breeze through playoffs, up two games to none, up 15 points.

    Go Canada.

    Well lets be fair. The parity wasnt there the last how many seasons? It always featured LeBron either with the Heat or Cavs in the finals

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I think Kawhi is staying with the Raptors. There isn't a better basketball situation out there for him and he seemed to have fine chemistry with his team.

    I'll find it pretty funny if Leonard and Durant stay put and the Lakers, Clippers and Knicks all strike out.

    Toronto did exactly what Portland has needed to do. Replace the coach with an upgrade (Disregarding the results their talented roster brought) and then took a risk for a superstar.
    But Portland extends Stotts and will look for "unheralded bargain players" this summer.
    Sigh.

    Maybe I’m wrong, but Raptors 58 wins, Warriors 57 wins
