Haha - was a roundabout way of saying some of his problems were due to his own poor judgment.

No need to lecture me about lawyers; get that enough from the lawyers across the table

Now I’m gonna get back to Bucks n Celtics and turn off Raiders n Niners...

I know... so you knew better. ;-)

Honestly, that whole case had some odd wrinkles and I don’t see it as being anywhere close to Kobe level sketchy. Rose’s downfall, bad decisions aside, was 99% due to injury.

as far as professional athletes i generally separate their personal freakshow from their athletic endeavors or there would be nothing to talk about. except kobe. fuck kobe and good riddance.

I hadn't, thanks.

I have nothing important to add, but Fuck Kobe.

It always makes me feel better to say it.

Oh - by the way, Klay had 51 points on 53 dribbles the night he hit 14 treys. That's incredible.

i wonder how long walton will get to twist in the wind

Wild finish in Pacers-Celtics last night. Oladipo absolutely took over. Naturally, the majority of sports media coverage last night (at least what I saw) was about the Lakers...oh man! They're almost to .500! They might even win 40 games this year!

going to our first blazer game tonight against the minnesota timberdysfunctionals!

Have fun! Hopefully they’ll shoot better from 3 tonight (crapped the bed vs. Lakers)

Yeah, those Boston teams just never get any coverage!

Haha I was referring to the Pacers but yeah Boston and Philly seem to be the only teams that get coverage in the East. A bit of the Bucks. Personally, I think the East is more exciting this year because the Conference Champs aren't a foregone conclusion

considering the blazers are the only game in town unless you count the timbers, i was surprised by the large number of empty seats. minnesota was terrible and there was little energy. the boy had a blast though so it was cool through his eyes.

Jimmy Butler just became a sixer, at the cost of my beloved Dario and Covington... I don't know whether this will be good or bad in the end.

Could make the sixers next level or could make them a dumpster fire.

As a casual Wolves fan, glad to see this debacle over with. What a doomed franchise...ugh.

How will Butler and Embiid get along? He's a major upgrade unless they hate each other.

word is they consulted with joel and ben before they made the move....dario and roco? see ya...bench players at best. love the move. kept fultz and a #1 pick too...way to go gm elton brand.

[flyman683]

I think that way underrates roco, outstanding defender and solid 3 point shooter. Definitely a starting wing on a contender.

Dario is more of a clumpy flumpering get some buckets 6th man, but I still like him.

Either way, "bench player at best" is crazy... Still a good trade if Butler acts like a grown up who "just wants to win" like he claims.

Butler is considered toxic in the locker room by some players

[SkiBall]

Bill Simmons calls it high ceiling, low basement. Chemistry and tolerating each other will make or break it seems.

East has Celtics, Raptors, Bucks and Sixers top 4? This should be good! Top 4 in East better than top 4 in West? Probably...
