He's such an ass clown. Also the Brooks thing wasn't Jones fault. He wanted Dillon Brooks, but from what I remember Memphis wanted it to be the other Brooks and that's when Jones pulled out of the trade.

Imagine being reduced from major sport GM to internet troll. It’s like a random person like us posters here turning into deadbeat felons.

Question: were ya’ll mad when Kawhi engineered the LAC super team last summer?

What’s fun is opening the tweets and looking at the comments. Suns fans represent.

Question: were ya’ll mad when Kawhi engineered the LAC super team last summer?

Are you suggesting that Kawhi and George teaming up was forming a super team? That is not a super team whatsoever. A super team is generally when 3 all NBA players team up to ideally make winning a title a near certainty.

Examples of super teams would be GS adding KD when they already had Curry and Klay or the Miami big 3 all taking pay cuts so they could afford to play together.

LAC was shortest odds to title last year with two new players.

What's odd is that McD could've made his way back into a front office as an assistant GM or even a scout, but he seems to have thrown it away with his recent behavior.

You can talk about odds all you want, but that isn't a super team. Neither was the Lakers last year. Now the Clippers or Lakers adding another all NBA player to their team would make them super teams.

I cannot wait for LeBron James to be out of the NBA. He is not a villian in the traditional sense, he is just so unlikable.

I don't blame the Warriors for the KD thing. They drafted Klay and Steph. I did lose some respect for KD. Steph and Klay are the enemy, but I still like and respect them. its different with LeBron.

I'm torn between disliking him and respecting the hell out of him. I dislike aspects of him, particularly his self-aggrandizement when he was younger and the way he plays and whines on the court in his later days, but from what I've seen he's been a strong role model and a very positive presence in every community he's been connected with.

Hawks officially add Rondo, Bogdanovich and Okongwu.

Gallinari is their biggest add

Ah totally missed him. They’re going to be good if Rondo doesn’t F up team chemistry.

Mad? No. Disappointed? Yes. And immediately not a fan of that team and reveled in their coming up short. The problem was it seemed one of the LA concocted teams was destined for the championship which was a lose-lose in my eyes.

I agree with all this. I respect Lebron for his ability but don’t particularly like him on the court. He whines too much for someone as good as he is for my taste. I like him off the court.

I appreciate KD’s skills but don’t really carry much respect for him.

I have a great deal of respect for Klay and curry

indoors, closed space in a state being ravaged by Covid.

Sounds like the right move

Warriors granted $9.3 million Disabled Player Exception for Klay Thompson injury.

A small win of sorts. Luol Deng is owed $5 million the next two seasons.

They did. Then Charlotte was supposed to sign Hayward outright.
Then it later turned into a sign and trade.

For such a conservative state, there sure is an abundance of ignorance there.
