This Celtics-Lakers 30 for 30 is convincing me that Kareem is the 2nd best player of all-time. All those sky hooks are unguardaable today and he's the all time leading scorer in NBA history.

so gordan haywards wife posted a pick of their daughter in a 4 leaf clover shirt so that means he is signed with the Celtics I doubt it's coincidence. Can they afford that red-headed kid from LA still? More importantly, do you even want him?

This has always been my claim. My dad used to rag on Kareem and said he inflated his numbers by playing for 20 years. When I got older, I realized that the fact that he played at such a high level for most of them is very often overlooked.

And I believe we still may own a couple of clippers picks for the doc trade.

After about a month of listening off-and-on, I think The Right Time with Bomani Jones may be the best radio show around.

Only two #1 overall picks have won a championship since 1998, and both currently play on the same team.

Lakers shopping the #2 pick They don't want to deal with the ball headache I guess. Or maybe they think they can trade down and he slips to them.

Gordie, Blake, or both? I would love both but if I was forced to choose I would say Blake he fills more of a need for us. We are loaded at pg/sg right now and that's not even considering fultz and we have crowder at sf. So we can make due without Hayward. But we are desperate for a inside presence/ rebounder

And not everyone is sold on Ball. Maybe that's why they want to trade down so they don't pay as much to get him. The slotted rookie scale isn't that great a divide, though.

Yeah, but if you can get Ball + a role player, it's a bigger score.

I don't see Ball going to PHX but, they've surprised us before. Supposedly SAC 2 1sts for this pick.

Smoke?
The Boston Celtics are reportedly considering taking Kansas Jayhawks swingman Josh Jackson with the first pick in the NBA draft.
"We like him a lot," a Celtics source told ESPN.com's Chad Ford on Thursday. "But we like several guys a lot. We've got a week to figure it out."
The same source told Ford the Celtics are "strongly considering" options other than Washington combo guard Markelle Fultz—who has long been considered the favorite to be the draft's top pick.

And now that Cleveland has it's chip, is Dan Gilbert's deal with the Devil fulfilled? Do we now have to endure years of the Lakers being gifted lotto picks to make them relevant again? OR Does Lebron go to L.A. next summer with Melo for a ring chase with CP3? The West is so stacked, WHEN Lebron leaves, it's tough to imagine him leaving the East, which is an annual cakewalk to the Finals. But his business interests take priority, so it could happen.
Is there a team in the East that could accommodate a Lebron/Wade/Melo/CP3 ring chase? Scenario: All 4 sign a 1 year, vet-minimum contract to play together. What team, besides Cleveland could do it and still be competitive?
