So Kyrie and Butler both declined extensions...will the Knicks even have the bread for both of them?!?

 

[cparkfresh]

Why does Charles Barkley act like he wasn’t trying to stack the deck by going to Houston? Lol

Um maybe because he was traded and Houston lost many of their assets a that helped them win two Chanpionships in the trade.

He forced his way there to try to win a ring

 

[ill steelo]

Spurs get: Jimmy Buckets + 1st rd Lakers pick
Lakers get: Kawhi Leonard
T'Wolves get: Ingram + Hart + 2nd rd pick from LA

Who says no?

Jimmy Butler can decline his option and be an unrestricted free agent after next year and will be 30 years old in year 1 of his new contract, on top of him missing 15 games every season.

Not happening.

Hope that top 10 list of eastern conference players is an argument against whatever stat they used. List trash as hell.

Reports: Rockets reach deal with 2013-14 Rookie of the Year

https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/warriors/reports-rockets-reach-deal-2013-14-rookie-year

The Lakers added LeBron James and several role players.

The Warriors added DeMarcus Cousins in a stunning move.

So it was time for the Rockets to make a move, and on Tuesday they did, reportedly agreeing to a deal with former Charlotte Hornets guard Michael Carter-Williams.

According to ESPN, it's a one-year deal worth the minimum.

Michael Carter-Williams has reached deal with Rockets, source tells ESPN.

Taken by the 76ers with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, Carter Williams averaged 16.7 points per game that season and won NBA Rookie of the Year. But over the course of the next four seasons, his career and numbers have spiraled downward.

A year after being drafted, the 76ers traded Carter-Williams to Milwaukee. He has spent the last two seasons with Chicago and Charlotte, respectively. This past season, he averaged 4.6 points, 2.2 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 52 games.

"No offers"

"No offers"

He’s a fool to turn down $40 mil

 

[carver]

Especially right after a serious injury

 

[antidope]

That was such a dumb lie to tell. Dudes need guidance.

 

[DADDYFATSACKS]

Boogie gonna regret turning down that deal when he’s washed and broke in a few years.

 

[freakydestroyer]

Boogie gonna regret turning down that deal when he’s washed and broke in a few years.

He already does. Which is why he just took the most sure way to get a ring.

 

[broncos19dm]

Tbh I'm very intrigued by the Dwight Howard pickup. Wiz desperately needed a big man so I'm hoping this works out.

 

[antidope]

I can't wait to see what happens when it's death lineup time. Boogie has to sit... Right?

 

[JayDee346]

Philly got the worst offseason lost all the role players traded bridges lost out on key free agents and got Wilson chandler instead of t Evans lol

 

[addict4sneakers]

Can’t wait to see Dwight pout after he ducks in and Wall is out there skipping doing right to left crossovers
