Cam Reddish a good get for Knicks?

The end goal for them seems to be to land Zion. So in the grand scheme of things, I think it’s a good get. It’s a great get if he ever became what he was projected to be.

At this point, Zion is a scary asset to have. I’d have to thing about it real hard, but if the Knicks were willing to bet the farm for Zion and rest their future of 3 kids younger than even me (barely mid-20s and I still feel like a kid lol) then I’d consider making the trade next year.
 
Draymond Green is the real MVP for the Warriors
 
If most anyone on s2 had a job that paid them $1 mil/year, they'd make the job their "end-all-be-all". Russ is getting paid 50x that, and right now he's sucking. Playing in the NBA is a privilege - what a fucking idiot.

LeBron said some shit like this a few years back how "None of it(basketball) means anything, it's all about his family and this and that" Shit, if you put $200M in my account I could afford to say things like that as well. Players forget what it's like to be broke.
Shit, you know how many games/plays/back to school nights and holidays I've missed the last 20 years. Of course that other shit means more, but you gotta grind and hustle.
 
1) They're coached to say things like that. Sports psychology type stuff. 2) It's a way of deflecting the criticism that comes with the occupation. Most people can't relate to that kind of scrutiny and what it takes to cope with it and go on functioning. Downplay the importance of basketball so you can pretend to not care what people say about you.

Ain't it grand to be a Trail Blazer fan?

"A sore foot"
"A hard fall"
It's not that tough to tank if you really want to. Just got to wait for second opinions a few times.

Not saying either of the Pacers or Sixers are tanking. Just pointing out how it could be done.

Hope he can play again for his sake....he's played very little for the years he's been around now.

All I know there pretty excited about him playing soon that's the fans. I was big believer in the kid here to bad he got hurt. I think he would fit Billups defense system so we will see if Olshey blew not retaining him. His contract is 7 million and next is half of that and the 3rd not guaranteed I think that is decent contract.
