Rondo man....if there was one guy in the NBA who would say that and actually mean it, it would be Rondo.

Whoever ends up getting him might as well ear mark their 2020 1st round pick to move off that contract. Chicago should pass and let the Kings screw themselves like usual.

Can anyone explain the logic of tony parker going to the hornets?

Lebron goes to the Lakers. Boogie goes to the Warriors.

Tony Parker: "hold my beer"

He legit cares but tries to pull it off like he doesn't. It's like when your girlfriend says she doesn't care where we eat and then turns down all of your options. As per the classic standup bits.

Oh I like it too. I'm glad that he shows how much getting continuously clowned bothers him. Kids on Instagram clown him. Peyton Manning clowned him. His team's owner clowned him. I hope it never stops.

FYI, the Thunder can be really good this year. Ditching Melo was the key all along.

Westbrook/George/Anthony

ORtg - 115.3
DRtg - 109.8

Westbrook/George no Anthony

ORtg - 113.3
DRtg - 98.7

That DRtg would have been by far the best in the NBA last year, and the ORtg would have been top 5.

Anyone have Spurs insiders here? People in Toronto getting really hyped up to get Kawhi...

Hadn't thought of that move, but it actually sounds good to me. That team with 1 true #1 is very good. I think they could convince him to stay by winning the east. I would like to see a Toronto Boston series next year. If they get Kawhi that tips the balance to Toronto IMO. They are deep enough to make that trade and still compete.

Team would be a nice fit for Love. We could look at a 1st round pick that’s waaaay out there. Would want it unprotected. Then they might have a legit chance to compete, and we don’t lose love for nothing.

They had some really dominant games, and that’s why they would have a .500 or so record but a top 5 SRS at times last season (finished top 6).

Westbrook/George and no Anthony also worked well in the playoffs:

52 minutes played:

ORtg: 115.5
DRtg: 92.2

They killed Utah with these two on and ‘Melo off.

The fact that these two only played 353 regular season and 405 total minutes together with ‘Melo on the bench is inexplicably bad and a fireable offense.

The Bulls moved are somewhat interesting. Puts them right around the floor without a SF in sight.
