This KD injury sucks...I wanted to see them at full strength in the playoffs... Yeah kind of a bummer. Shouldn't set him back all that much. Miracle it was only MCL. That's cake. Can't play with it, but you can train and work out like a motherfucker with a brace on. If he's limited at all in the playoffs, it will only be his explosiveness laterally. This does bring some added intrigue to the postseason, I thought GS would cruise to the WCFs...KD not only has to get healthy, but they'd have to work him back into what they had going and their margin for error may be smaller due to some of the depth that they gave up in order to acquire KD....Igoudola likely won't be as fresh come playoff time.... |

They're deep, mature, and have a pretty solid coaching staff. I'm sure that they'll be fine. But you're right about the intrigue. It adds quite a bit of uncertainty, without question. |

They'll have the pelicans in the first round. For whatever that's worth.

I looked up the NBA standings so I could give you shit about the Wizards....no clue who is on their team, but I just figured they sucked and were out of the playoffs....not sure why. lol....they are in 3rd in the East! DAMMIT! |

Would we call them deep after what they had to give up to sign Durant? Deep isn't a word I'd use. |

Yeah I can go 10 guys deep with my long, mediocre bench - that's one kind Yeah I guess Draymond and Klay and Steph get more touches - that's another kind A team with 2 legit players is fucked by something like this. When Green is your 4th best guy, you're ok for 4-6 weeks. |

Pacers should play more Western Conference teams. They do better against them.

If I'm one of the big guys in this draft, I'm saying a thousand Hail Mary's that the Sixers don't pick me.

Did you guys watch the interview Mchale did of Kevin Garnett?
Really goes to show how having the right vet can impact a players career...He gave huge props to Sam Mitchell...

Am I missing something on Terrance Jones?
I thought he'd be signed in a second. The Celtics are rumored to be looking at Sully over him. He'd be a great pick up!

Perhaps the sixers kept Okafor cause they knew Embiid was done I fucking hate this team Could be... If the Lakers don't get a top 3 pick, their pick goes to the Sixers....So, the Sixers could have two top 6 picks to spend on big guys that will never amount to much of anything while with the team....Or they could trade the picks for an established vet... |

I don't get it either...I know he wants to play big minutes, that's why the Pelicans let him go to pursue that sort of opportunity...I'd much rather have him than Sullinger, but will Jones become a pain in the ass if he doesn't get his minutes while trying to earn a new contract? |

If he has the reputation, I get it. He wont fit in with Stevens. But I still think he'd get 20-25 minutes....no idea if that's good enough for him. |

I can't find anything that says he has a reputation. He was on a minimum salary for the Pelicans, I think he just wants to get paid but knows he has to show teams something after his wasted years in Houston... |

Pffffft. Like the NBA would ever let the Lakers not get the #1 pick. The league is going to be falling over itself to help the Lakers get back to being a contender. |
