Back to not making the playoffs? Probably

Did she just say KD made Oklahoma City irrelevant? I thought she was standing up for him?

She did slip up there. That dude let her off the hook. He respected her like he should of

After watching it again. It was slip up... because she also said "KD made Oklahoma City... so without Oklahoma City, there is no KD"

I said it many many pages ago, this move doesn't happen if Seattle still had a team. In fact, I think FAs would've went to Seattle.

No state income tax, baby! Also, Seattle is completely different from what it was in 2008. It'd be a very attractive destination for FAs.

okc in shambles with peeps at odds

Bubba Sparxx more lost over here than all those years without Timbo. That mouth went super dry real quick (pause), bet you he couldn't spit right now if his life depended on it.

@ESPNSteinLine: The Knicks are about to strike a deal with Brandon Jennings, according to league sources

Damn so the knicks are back?

We're definitely a playoff team at this point. Beyond that though I'm not sure what's gonna happen.

1/$5M

Love this pickup. He has his flaws but a short term deal for next to nothing is great.

Back story? Durant, LeBron and Harden look confuses as hell.

 

[cpf262]

Giannis is a restricted free agent. I'm not too sure about Jabari though. I think the Bucks will be ok.

You are right now. Reports are were about to give ga thec5 year max extension and jabari the 4 when hes eligible. I was talking more down the road when those contracts are up. Both seem pretty level headed tho so Im sure w will be fine like you said.

You really think they'll miss out even after all these moves??

Imagine the slander

Straight trollin'
 

Hear me out. Mavs sign Seth Curry, Jason Thompson, & Gerald Green.
Then roll out a lineup of
Curry, Thompson, Green, Barnes, & Bogut.

[frshstunna]

Curry is only making 12 mil on his contract...are they realistically going to be able to give Steph the raise he deserves while keeping Klay/Draymond/KD on the books as well?

Yea you can overpay to keep your own players, just depends if the owner wants to pay the tax or not

 

[8tothe24]

Now you're just trolling

lol, whatever dude. No need to continue replying to me then.

OKC folks are livid

 

[JPS]

 
Great analogy. Nba & murder. Good comparison.

lmao seriously. 

 

[casper90403]

1 year $5M?

Excellent flyer on someone who could help. If he doesn't, no big deal.

 

[jjs]

So when it's all said and done.

Let's say KD has 3 rings and 1 finals mvp and is considered one of the greatest scorer of all time.

Is OKC retiring his jersey for giving them 1 mvp, 7 all star, rookie of the year, 4 scoring champ AND the best run they ever had to ger a ring.

That's if the team stays in okc

 

[art vandelay]

I hope Russ extends in OKC. I think he can still lead that team, yeah they lost KD, which is a huge loss, but maybe there is a diamond in the rough that can help him out because I honestly don't want to see a tear down and rebuild for OKC, I got respeck for that city. Word to Allibaster

I still think Bron's dash to both Miami and back to Cleveland were still worse than this.  Good for the Durantuala.

lol bron ditched two teams for brighter pastures

he gon join the warriors next year
