    It has nothing to do with basketball.

    This is how it usually goes

    He is from Scotland, mind you
    Funny to us

    Not funny to anyone else


    It gets real dark, real fast


    Like I said, work in progress. We laugh like school kids, but everyone else that’s listened is totally offended

    This is the correct move to make.

    I think he 'could have' - but he rightly doesn't want to take the risk.

    If youre a first round pick with guaranteed money sitting there, why would you take a risk in playing summer league & get injured?

    Yeah apparently Jabari played without a contract for half of the SL last year.

    He was a late second round pick. Jabari was fighting for a roster spot

    I think it’s extremely unlikely that a first round pick would play though.

    Cronin opening up his spreadsheet and seeing how it looks from time to time. May the best offer win.

    I’m still kinda confused about Watford. Dude was a decent bench guy.

    Edit: Wrong thread

    This. This. This. The same casual fans who say we'd do Dame dirty if we didn't trade him to the Heat for pennies on the dollar are the same casuals who would clown us (and rightfully so) for getting fleeced by the Heat after receiving such a pathetically inadequate draft package in return.

    The Spurs sent Kawhi to Toronto, the Pacers sent Paul George to Oklahoma City. Damian needs to realize that he's not a free agent who can go wherever he wants.

    We're trying to accomodate his desire to leave, and can even restrict the pool to playoff teams since he wants "a shot". But the idea that the Blazers are obligated to send him only to Miami is horse shit.

    We traded Joel Pryzbilla, Dante Cunningham, and two 1sts round picks, which turned into Tobias Harris and Shabazz Napier, for Gerald Wallace. We traded Gerald Wallace for the #6 pick in the 2012 draft, which we used on Lillard.

    So whomever we acquire with the Damian Lillard trade, will really be for Joel Pryzbilla and Dante.

    First time I've ever posted anything I've seen on Reddit. Maybe I'm getting young but more likely Reddit is getting old. The headline is horrible it says:
    "Heat fan cope"
