Good example of why Jalen Rose is a tool... Minnesota gets their first #1 ever. Instead of going 'congrats Minnesota, you have a chance to build a strong team in a few years' and letting them bask in a rare win, he immediately speculates that no one wants to go to Minn and will instead try to maneuver out to LA. Jalen Rose: helping fans of the uncool teams know their place.
We lived that existence. Thank God Lebron was from Akron.

I'm actually really happy for the TWolves.
Always root for small market teams and it's nice for them to finally put a bookend in moving on from the Love era.
Team should be fun to watch and now that they will have a franchise big man, they can do the right thing and trade us another good vet player.

Just saw the lotto results. Not happy the Lakers are two but happy the top two are in the west. Suck it Sixers.

Lakers have something to look forward to, with Okafor (probably), Randle a virtual rookie, and a free agent or two.

The Knickerbockers looking at The Congo Kid. Not sure that transforms them.
The Heat with #10, looking at someone like Myles Turner, or Willy Cauley-Stein.

Why did ESPN ever hire him. Why do they hire 90% of the people on their programs that are absolutely unwatchable, and lack any charisma, insight, or entertainment at all.
Why does ESPN even exist? Just an agenda driven network, that feeds the same shit down people's throats that they have been for the last 20 some years.

Bucks interested in Brook Lopez
The Milwaukee Bucks intend to pursue Brooklyn Nets center Brook Lopez this summer, according to ESPN.com’s Marc Stein. Lopez, 27, is expected to opt out of his contract and become a free agent.
Nets general manager Billy King has said retaining Lopez and forward Thaddeus Young is his No. 1 priority this offseason. The Nets can ill-afford to lose Lopez because they don't have the salary-cap means to replace him in free agency.
Because the Nets hold Lopez's Bird rights, they are the only team that can offer Lopez a five-year, max contract. Every other team can offer him a max contract of only four years.
The Bucks have an emerging young core in Giannis Antetokounmpo, Michael Carter-Williams, Khris Middleton (restricted free agent) and Jabari Parker, but averaged just 88.5 points per game in the playoffs and ranked 25th in the NBA in offensive efficiency during the regular season. Lopez, who briefly played for Jason Kidd in Brooklyn in 2013-14 before the 7-foot center went down with a season-ending injury, would give the Bucks much-needed post scoring and a presence in the paint.

Embiid reinjures right foot, out indefinitely. Philly had a promising rebuild going once, and now they're '80s-era Clippers.

If Sixers end up with Okafor and Embiid is on the block, we should go for him. Not sure what the asking price would be but we could afford to have him on the bench since we are deep.
Sorry, can't let the Embiid dream die
