TAD- So I was ragging on bertits before but he's obviously not a total scrub. So I'm wondering IF he isn't a bum why TF pop would trade him a whole season before he's a free agent?
Pop needs to retire, he's clearly lost it.
That kweewee trade was TURRBULL!!!

I know it's crazy in hindsight...but here's the story Pop and RC Buford are known for being up front with their upcoming FA's and expiring guys. The plan was to sign Marcus Morris and they did sign him. That's when they decided to send off Bertans. Morris, as an overall basketball player, is presumably better than Bertans. Then Morris backed out and basically screwed the Spurs over. So basically the Spurs traded Bertans only to end up downgrading to Trey Lyles. I do like Lyles, but Bertans is an elite shooter for a big, I said that earlier this season. Lyles isn't close to elite at anything, but he's a solid role player

I said it would be tempting. The difference is stability. Lebron is a mercenary. He goes to whichever situation benefits his bank account and his business. The Clippers are new to contention. They're still fighting old perceptions. GSW built a dynasty from scratch and ruled the NBA. They aren't a dumpster fire like the Lakers FO. Plus SF is better than Milwaukee. Again, were not talking about this summer but NEXT summer that's two whole seasons. Anything can happen or change look at how the warriors ALL fell apart. There's no guarantee they'll even be healthy in 2 years to be an option. The only thing guaranteed is he AIN'T going to the 'uns! Let's just focus on the King and Lakers making more history this season!!! Shows how many interesting storylines there are in the NBA today. ZERO

Why would you even give up on a guy you drafted and developed to bring in Marcus Morris? Marcus Morris walking through that door was NOT going to make them champions or even significantly better! It doesn't make sense. You look at the Spurs he's propped up lma as their number one and expecting him to lead is bad management. He's not a number one and DAMN sure ain't a leader. He's soft, shrinks in big moments and has done such his entire career. Got ALL these mostly young guards (Patty Mills being the exception that should probably be glued to the bench anyway) but you can't decide on who to play or identity which of them, if any, is legit. Then the whole kweewee fiasco. First the injury diagnosis FAIL that put the nail in the coffin but that trade? Possibly the worst tr*pe we've seen in our lifetimes. I love demarr as a player and person but you REALLY thought you could plug and play replace Leonard with him?? Poetl is absolutely useless. Here dreadful and likely to be out of there league once his deal is up. Instead of dumping kweewee for youth and picks you make a backwards lateral? Ouch Then the team USA embarrassment this summer. Pop gotta go

Lies! You got Jimmy trying to bully a rising Star who ain't having it and calling him a bum which he isn't. And... Perkins vs Durant jumping off last night. Can we PLEASE talk about that?!? Perk should shut up in that subject. KD said what were all thought. Nah PERK said what we all thought! KD look like a sucka calling out perk "stats" like cmon bro Perk was 136 years old and never a stat guy in the first place. He played his role on the team well. He was the veteran leader and clean the opponents clock if needed. YOU, TEVIN, ARE THE ONE THAT FAILED TO COME THROUGH MULTIPLE TIMES!!! KD had ZERO reason to inject himself into that conversation Perkins was having. So faking what IF Perk feels Russ is the greatest thunder of all time? He's actually right because russ stayed and remained committed to the franchise! WTF did KD do for or with the thunder that Russell didn't? Win one extra MVP than russ did playing there? It's not like he lead them to the finals before russ got on the team or something. His frail ass couldn't keep the team from sucking bad enough to even be in position to draft russ in the first place! He needs to wash off his vuvuzela we can smell it all the way over here! Is he the better player on the court? YES Does that make him the greatest Thudder of all time? NO There's more to it and this just shows the difference. This mofo basically bled his panties cause he's jealous of the Tribute they gave Russ? THAT'S SOME HOE ASS ish!!! And perfectly illustrates why he's viewed as such a damn BIIIIIISH!!!!

Someone please explain to me how Utah isn't #2 in the West and how Portland is out of the top 8.
Heads should be rolling.

Someone please explain to me how Utah isn't #2 in the West and how Portland is out of the top 8. Heads should be rolling. Utah has played the entire season without Conley and with Dante, again, giving them nothing thus him getting his ass shipped. They've been much better lately though. It's a long season and they'll still win in the high 50's. It's a non story. They coach can't make spida jumpers go in either. Portland missed Dame for a stretch with other injury woes and before a 55 year olds melo joined was getting ZERO production out of their forwards. They've also seemed to level off and once they get over their fear and make the cj for love swap should be fine. Also not the coaches fault. How about 'enver disappointing and the joker needing 3 months to get in shape and snap out of it?

And why are you trying to find fault with the #2 team in the West? Ain't nothin wrong with Denver.

I'm actually surprised Miami is doing so well. They've had injuries. They're playing rookies. They had a dumbass OD on edibles and not play most of the season. Riles still getting it done.

They lost Nurk, Hood and Collins. And Meyers Leonard is looking like a steal for Miami.

Good for perk standing his ground. Again, he's right about Durant being Mr thunder. Kd jealous of his reception from the people and opened his mouth trying to pull perk stats was weak sauce. WEAK AF!!!
At that point, the kid gloves are off! Just for contrast did harden get jealous and act like a bish cause he played there too? No, he went and sat and talked with his teammate at the end of an emotional game.
KD a sucka man

They can offer the cap space of Whiteside expiring plus Simon or just CJ for tkevin. Or either for a different star or depth. I hate how teams wait too long to make a move.

KD left, and it was his choice but, yes I'm seeing the social media bish in him. That ish woulda got you punched in the mouth in the old days.

Dude is SUCH a bish it's ridiculous. Frail minded mofo respond with that BS like perk stats when the FACT is the thudders didn't win cause Durant is soft and failed as a leader. Up 3-1 and lose but wanna talk about the 8th offensive options numbers? BIIIISH MOVE LÉÈXTRAORDINAIRE!!!!

According to Marc Berman of the New York Post, some members of the Knicks front office are leaning toward holding onto Marcus Morris at the trade deadline. Morris will sit out his fifth straight game Tuesday due to a neck injury but is in the middle of a career year. He is also set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. Thus, most pundits assumed New York would look to flip Morris for a young player or draft pick. However, per Berman, the Knicks may hold onto the veteran "unless they get back a star-type player in a large package." Morris staying in New York would undoubtedly be the best-case scenario for his fantasy value.
I didn’t know Pain was running the knicks now
And also giggity

Do they not realize teams interested in Morris will be looking to ADD him to their core for a playoff run not trade away a star for him? I'm fact, NO team is trading away a star for him!!! I'm Sooooo damn sick of the snacks they need to get contracted immediately!!!

Trade has to be a 1 for 1, as per NYK's GM Pain662

He brought swagger that hasn't been there since it was Wade County. He is also slightly better defensively but kinda a wash on offense. I think Josh is a better shooter but Jimmy is a better scorer. Plus they got better by getting rid of Whiteside.

"There were countless text messages and phone calls and then two in-person meetings at Drake's house in Hidden Hills, California. (Drake had befriended Leonard during his season in Toronto and let Leonard — who lives in San Diego — stay there when he was in Los Angeles for free-agent meetings.) By July 1, they had decided to put their plan in motion: Leonard told the Clippers that he was interested in playing for them but only if they could improve their roster by adding an All-Star-caliber player like George."
I absolutely LOVE that Drake inadvertently helped Kawhi leave lol

Jimmy started the season on the sidelines and both nunn and herro brand new Jimmy ain't did ish for them they good on their own. Without the certs even and the big man probably gonna make the all Star team this year which also ain't got nothing to do with Jimmy. IDK just seems like they bid against themselves to pay him $40 mil a year when they could've kept the same guy essentially in Richardson, younger and less than half the price. I can't see guys lining up to join that prick on South Beach either. They've signed up for championship or bust. Guess we'll see...
