Would you rather be featured on a 20 win team or a reserve on a championship team? I think he took for granted how hard it is to get to the top. He lucked up and got on with Toronto but, the road isn't that easy for most rooks, getting rings his first 2 years in the league.

I put money on Warriors in 4. Thinking about also going Raptors in 6. That might be smart. I don't see Toronto being swept. Unless Kawhi is really hurt but, he's downplaying the injury. +800 felt a little high, but I ain't gonna complain.

Smith provided further insight, reporting Pelinka had provided an assurance to Larry Nance Jr. the Lakers wouldn't trade him, even if offered Kevin Durant by the Golden State Warriors. The Lakers then dealt Nance to the Cleveland Cavaliers in February 2018.
He shoulda known he was lying lol

Let's not kid ourselves “It will be kind of a wake-up moment for college programs,” Walsh said, noting that Hampton was recruited by Kansas, Memphis, Duke and Kentucky. “People are going to think, ‘How on earth did they lose him to New Zealand?’” Hampton will join the Breakers as part of the local National Basketball League’s Next Stars Program, which means he’ll be paid by the league and not the team. The standard contract for a player in the program is $100,000, but Walsh said Hampton would “far surpass that.” He declined to be specific.

Why wouldn't Hampton go this route? Does the NBL pay that much more?

Sounds like they smartly developed a program to try to steal these players away from the NCAA. Team likely pays a base rate and the league probably subsidizes the difference as an incentive to get the league an international following.

Ya, I don't know how high it will go but the NCAA is going to have to make changes. All the money being wasted investigating and prosecuting could go to the players.

If you miss 30 physics classes, you're not in school to learn. Is that ASU? And curious why he has a naked doll on his shelf. Prevert!

Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) Tweeted: Sources: In calls to front offices, Houston GM Daryl Morey is showing an aggressive desire to improve roster with all players and picks available in talks. Hard to imagine James Harden scenario, but the rest under contract - perhaps even Chris Paul - could be moved in right deal.
