@LITT are you a GSW are the best team of all time guy
Definitely not. I think the99 spurs w Robinson and Duncan would crush them inside. And that's not to say that o think the 99 Spurs are the best team ever

This was probably overly hyperbolic however I think the 87 lakers were better, 96 and 91 bulls

Yeah I don't know the ins and outs of the formula to know how eras are taken into account but cool for a tool to see

The stats pass the test: the Knicks have sucked for decades.

i feel bad for lonzo ball. his dad is probably one of the worst people on earth. i wonder how much lonzo hates him

Posted: **Fri Jun 23, 2017 9:51 am**

lonzo looks dead behind the eyes. not sure if such things show up on scouting reports...but i tend to think it matters for a franchise leader.

Everything he does seems very robotic. More than Sid. Not a lot of personality, but I guess that's what happens when you have a **** head dad controlling everything you do.

Posted: **Fri Jun 23, 2017 10:16 am**

he keeps it cool like sid but in a very different way. and not in a good way, either.

Yeah, his mannerisms are really weird. But if he applies himself, he could be a neurosurgeon one day

Lonzo Ball is awesome and you all suck. Lavar is also wildly entertaining.

It's really great ESPN has a shiny new toy right as Tebow is finally waning.

a few musings from the nba goings on over the weekend

steph curry got PAID (5 year, 201MM)
the chris paul trade to houston makes little sense to me. i suppose it makes them slightly better but the return does not seem commensurate with the value given the current state of the west. i assume there is something else in the works
the paul george trade on the other hand i love. giving up oladipo is risky but he hasnt turned in to what everyone thought he could.would be
like jimmy butler to the wolves. that should be an interesting team to watch
76ers added some good veteran players. im a big fan of amir johnson. if embiid can stay healthy they may do something other than stink

did anyone ever think jj redick would last 10+ years in the NBA?

definitely not. and i didnt think he would look the way he does now

Posted: **Mon Jul 03, 2017 10:02 am**

I hated JJ Reddick so much at duke. Such a punchable face. Dude is getting 23 million for one year of work in the NBA this year.. WTF. Is that just the going rate in the NBA these days for someone like him?

Posted: **Mon Jul 03, 2017 10:03 am**

pretty heavy. itll put him in the top 20 or so

Posted: **Mon Jul 03, 2017 10:06 am**

Yup. I actually can't believe that he is in his mid-30s already. He was one of the most hated Duke players in the 2000s.

Hell of a way to welcome your newest team member...

perhaps im missing something but why are the heat retiring chris bosh's number? hell, my man glen rice has more career everything with the heat than bosh

also, the blazers have been part of two big draft gaffs - sam bowie over MJ, greg oden over durant. oops.

Posted: **Thu Jul 06, 2017 9:00 am**

Hah. Sam Bowie; what a bust.

Especially after kinda sorta dragging him through the mud. Pat Riley is kind of a clown shoes type of guy.

Agreed, that is an odd decision. Don't get me wrong, Bosh has been a solid, A player throughout his entire tenure here, but not jersey-retirement worthy. If they start using that criteria, they will run out of numbers.
