    Sabonis has next season and the season after that. I don't know about that team being a bad one to coach though... I mean traditionally of course but Fox, Davion, Barnes, Sabonis, Holmes, the tallest Holiday, DiVincenzo is restricted, Lyles is restricted, a mid lotto pick unless you get lucky and land a top 4 pick and a full MLE. If they don't hit the lotto and want a super athletic big to play with Sabonis down low maybe they snatch Duren who gets to compete with Holmes for minutes.

    Ben Simmons in his usual spot wearing expensive street clothes. Glad we didn’t get that guy! He’s probably more concerned with getting his money he lost from the 76ers than playing for a championship.

    He would’ve fit right in on our team. By the way, I would care about $20 million. Wouldn’t you?

    the lack of self-awareness is staggering.

    Just an average player?????
    Didn’t he almost just win the scoring title at 38?

    Capela commits a flagrant foul and HE ends up being the guy who gets injured. Never seen karma like that before.

    Some bullshit they didn't call it a flagrant lol. Zach Zarba is usually one of the better refs in the NBA but that was a bad call.

    I fully disagree with this

    Name value has always been a thing in any professional sport, but it is not a thing that has any impact on a players talent. It’s generally a barometer of their talent.

    I get a lot of people don’t like LBJ.
    Lot of people tripping on LBJ being considered the GOAT.
    But saying he’s an “average player” who has been successful because of his popularity and not his talent is ridiculous.

    He’s one of the greatest players of our generation. People need to put their feelings aside on that.

    Hawks coming back, but I think CLE will pull it off.

    Disappointing for Hawks fans.

    I like Trae Young. Reminds me of Reggie Miller in that he lives for the big moment. And he has charisma. I love Cleveland but I’m rooting for Hawks. If Trae doesn’t get hurt, Hawks may have won it all last year. They can beat Miami. Trae vs Lowry would be fun.

    Play-in is fun. A couple guaranteed game 7-like games night before playoffs. Only bad part is 1 seed doesn’t get to know their opponent for more than 2 days.
