    'I truly hope that I can finish my career' in LA, LeBron says. Sounds like he's leaving the door open for an exit strategy. I hope, doesn't mean, I will.

    This is the sum total of the Athletic story, so nothing new IMO:

    I still feel like it's just a bunch of posturing from Philly. They tanked his value after the last game and now they're trying to walk it back.

    There is no "they".
    The GM is trying to walk back the statements made by his idiotic star player and idiotic coach - which, of course he is.

    "They" meaning the Sixers as a as a staff, record label, and as a motherfuckin' crew!

    Yeah I’m sure they’re asking for an all star in return. I’m also sure there is a big market for him at a price below that all star value. Then when everyone laughs and says no, they’ll have to face reality. They blew it by not trading him for Harden. Then they’ll have to decide whether to run it back with him again, or to accept the new value.

    Kawhi had a torn ACL. Another contender severely hobbled next year. Recovery time is anywhere from 3-6 months, but knowing Kawhi it will take longer.

    I'd still trade CJ for him.

    I do not think the Blazers will be the team to GET Simmons but would not be surprised if the Blazers are involved to try and snag a nice side piece to help.

    He wants to play with Bronny, the quicker picker upper. Bronny goes to the Knicks, LBJ probably follows.

    What a game… hope it goes game 7. Oh and I don’t missed Rachel Nichols. Malika is just fine
