I usually get laughed at when I make these claims because people think it's crazy that the league would actually rig games. I've always thought is was crazy that people thought they didn't. When you're talking about tens of millions of dollars, people will do unthinkable things out of greed...

The NBA is a billion dollar business, plain and simple. The game is a distant second in importance. I've said for a long time, you can tell which games will be influenced early on, it's not necessarily just the calls at the end of the game. I don't believe they want to control who wins, but...

Giannis is the anti-ball movement guy. If he's coming in, they would have to change the style of play that they've been putting in for several years now. I don't think he'd be a great fit in OKC either. If I'm giving up that much for one guy, I want him to still have way more years than Giannis.

It would be hard to argue against him unless you consider guys on rookie contracts. What is he, 25 years old? But, those rookies will all be due huge raises in the near future and teams won't want to give them away for pennies..

Replace Deni with Murray. CHAMPIONSHIP!!

Rumor has it that he wants to keep Kolde involved with the team for his experience and expertise. And by rumor, I mean me looking for a punchline about the optimism fans will have because of the change in ownership.

Two things that the best jerseys of all time have had in common, imo - simplicity and pinstripes. '94-98 Magic '89-96 Hornets '95-99 Raptors '95-96 Bulls Combine some Blazers nostalgia and you get Black w/ white pinstripes lowercase "blazers" vertically on the right, think '74-77 unis Pinwheels...

That can be asked/said about most stats.

There's obviously a plan in place. They didn't wake up this morning and say "we should get Dame back and figure everything out later". Whatever it is, Dame must be okay with it and even if the plan is to trade Scoot, they'll put him in a position to be as successful as possible for trade...

Hansen is the type of player that will have a big affect games without putting up gaudy numbers. Then he'll have games with big numbers. Either way, teams will (very soon) have to game plan for him and there's not many backup centers in the league that opponents will have do that for.

What's the line?

A lot of guys on here won't know if he passes the test unless you attach some stats to reference.

My first thought was that Derek Fisher had horrible mechanics. He shot pretty well, but it's hard to see a shooting coach with bad form. Consistent repetition's are often the fastest way to improving. Most of the skills that players have comes from muscle memory.

The guy was drafted at #16, which they admitted was a bit of a reach. He wasn't #1 or #2. He won't be a starter or even the first center off the bench. Yet, armchair GM's think he has to dominate or he's a failure. Thank God the powers that be will probably give him beyond the summer league...

And it's happened a few times iirc. I thought Oden might have once.
