Brooklyn Nets: 2021 NBA Champions. -- nm - Shaun Jun 30, 16:21 8
- I think it’s more feasible that Golden State is there then. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 16:21 6
  - Clippers IMO. If they get the two dudes I think they are getting -- nm - Bacon Jun 30, 16:22 5
    - Kawhi and who? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 16:23 4
      - Jimmy Butler (yes another head case) -- nm - Bacon Jun 30, 16:24 3
        
        Here’s the thing - never bet on head cases. Ever. You’ll save money in the long run. - Will Hunting Jun 30, 16:26 1
        
        Clippers are already nice, Butler isn't the centerpiece. Kawhi is, and their young team that is going to be aces soon -- nm - Bacon Jun 30, 16:27
        
        and current rumors have him going to the Heat, but I think Clippers get him -- nm - Bacon Jun 30, 16:25
- :-) - Krusty Jun 30, 16:21
Wow, Trey Mancini got hosed. - Will Hunting Jun 30, 16:14 1
- Voit got screwed too because MLB added Vogelbach so the M's are represented. - Krusty Jun 30, 16:21
Remember that time the Nets traded for Boston's stars and they became that dynasty everyone was saying? - Bacon Jun 30, 16:12 10
- The time when the Nets gave up the future for Boston's aging, no longer stars players? -- nm - JD Jun 30, 16:14 8
  - Yes that time! -- nm - Bacon Jun 30, 16:14 7
    - So, not the same thing at all -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 16:15 6
      - Correct. That time those players didn't have ripped Achilles and could play right away and didn't have to have a year off to rehab. - Bacon Jun 30, 16:16 5
        
        Kyrie is 27, KD is 30. We didn't trade any picks at all, just paid cash. Before the injury KD was considered the best in the game. - Krusty Jun 30, 16:19 4
        
        You are right. You didn't give up anything but cash this time. - Bacon Jun 30, 16:21 3
        
        So many are so sure this won't work out but these guys are friends that want to play together. Let's see what happens before we declare it - Krusty Jun 30, 16:25 2
        
        The Knick owner is driving players away imo. He's such a dick I think stars don't want to play for him. Dude needs to sell the team -- nm - Bacon Jun 30, 16:26 1
        
        They wouldn't offer Durant a max deal. They saved and dumped games and in the end they failed at both the draft and FA. -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 16:30
- Saved - Krusty Jun 30, 16:13
Can a NBA restricted free agent turn down a competing offer? - JD Jun 30, 16:08 5
- No -- nm - Bacon Jun 30, 16:09 4
  - Wait I read that wrong. Yes, they can reject it -- nm - Bacon Jun 30, 16:09 3
    - They have to SIGN a competing offer to make it valid. So if a team says, hey we want you and want to pay you this, they can say nope. - Bacon Jun 30, 16:10 2
      - Ah...so the player has the choice to not sign the competing offer. Thanks -- nm - JD Jun 30, 16:12 1
        
        Yeah in that way they are a free agent that direction to say no to any other teams. Only restriction is home team gets final say in keeping them. -- nm* - Bacon Jun 30, 16:13
NHL: Anaheim acquires Nicolas Deslauriers from Montreal -- nm - budice Jun 30, 16:07
Huh, the Nets are going to be a chemistry experiment gone wrong. - Will Hunting Jun 30, 15:52 1
- Saved -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 15:58

The rest of the country is about to find out that we have some good players like Caris LeVert, Spencer Dinwiddie and Jarrett Allen. People will tune - Krusty Jun 30, 15:37 3
- KD has a really good chance of being 75% the player he was before injury. The injury tends to limit your cutting and pivoting. Now he has a decent - Bacon Jun 30, 16:09
- Spencer! -- nm - JD Jun 30, 15:44 1
  - I hear Lassiter's voice when I read that. -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 15:46
Malcolm Brogdon has agreed to a four-year, $85M deal with Indiana - budice Jun 30, 15:36 1
- He was a big part of the Bucks last year. The kid has talent. -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 15:44
We're watching Friday Night Lights from the beginning with the kiddo - I thought that Ray 'Voodoo" Tatom was in a later season, not S1 -- nm - prayformojo Jun 30, 15:34 1
- The last three episodes of season three may be my favorite multi-episode run of any show ever. It’s perfect. -- nm - Volnelk Jun 30, 15:45
Milwaukee has to be liking how this weekend turned out, right? -- nm - prayformojo Jun 30, 15:29 1
- the Milwaukee segment on CBS Sunday Morning today was fantastic -- (link) - peglegpete Jun 30, 15:36
I bet NBA teams are excited to finally start talking to potential free agents. (((((((Eye rolls))))))) -- nm - Volnelk Jun 30, 15:19 1
- YOU get a tampering charge! YOU get a tampering charge! And YOU get a tampering charge! -- nm - NBA Commisioner Oprah Jun 30, 15:21
Kyrie, Durant and DeAndre Jordan will make this a very different Nets team but hopefully we'll be fighting with the big boys for the ring. - Krusty Jun 30, 15:18 2
- As long as Spencer Dinwiddle gets his minutes, I'll be cheering for them. -- nm - Flavorize Jun 30, 15:20 1
  - Love Dinwiddie! He'll thrive with these guys. -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 15:23

Kawhi Leonard plans to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers, league sources tell ESPN. -- (edited) - budice Jun 30, 14:39 9
- Someone took dude's blue checkmark away? -- nm - Bacon Jun 30, 16:13 1
  - The moral of the story: never believe budice about anything! -- nm - David Jun 30, 16:14
- Happy Check the Handle Day. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 30, 15:09 1
  - Yep--Dude is a known "funny" sports troll. Usually respond that his wife and him got a divorce to see if players/reporters respond, on viral tweets -- nm - Flavorize Jun 30, 15:18
- And just like that, years of incompetent management leads to a championship. -- nm - David Jun 30, 14:51 2
  - Perhaps multiple championships -- nm - JD Jun 30, 14:57
  - Gotcha, suckas! -- nm - Jeanie Buss Jun 30, 14:52
- Aren't Leonard and James the same style? -- nm - Amoxy Jun 30, 14:42 1
  - Leonard just finished a season with managed minutes, LeBron is the age he is. Quite the regular season luxury to be able to start one while the other - JD Jun 30, 14:54
Let the Brooklyn Nets dynasty begin KD to sign with Nets -- (link) - eag Jun 30, 14:05 15
- :-) -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 15:07
- Never in a million years are Durant and Irving gonna work well together -- nm - prayformojo Jun 30, 14:39 5
  - Saved -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 15:42
  - Right. -- nm - David Jun 30, 14:50 1
    - Saved -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 15:42
  - Well Durant won't play this season and maybe Irving will get run out of town -- nm - Amoxy Jun 30, 14:46 1
    - This seems to be a real possibility given how Kyrie's time at Boston went -- nm - JD Jun 30, 14:58
- Well, that's a fairly epic mistake for all involved. -- nm - David Jun 30, 14:33 7
  - Saved - Krusty Jun 30, 15:42 6
    - Don’t hate me for my tremendous sports intellect! -- nm - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Jun 30, 15:44 5
      - No hate at all. Just taking names right now. -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 15:44 4
        
        *stands on chair* MY NAME IS DAVID, AND I THINK DURANT + IRVING IS THE WORST DISASTER SINCE DEEP IMPACT -- nm - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Jun 30, 15:48 3
        
        Saved -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 15:55
        
        so better than Armageddon? --nm - JD Jun 30, 15:53 1
        
        You and Grendel can both kiss my ass! -- nm - David Jun 30, 16:10

    - incorrect. -- (link*) - Remlik Jun 30, 15:08 1
      - No, MCU Stormbreaker. This is NOT Beta Ray Bill's. -- nm - Spawn Jun 30, 16:20

An intriguing MCU question. -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 30, 09:29 3
- Nah. It has to be truly exceptional or else..... - Volnelk Jun 30, 12:03

- I say no, but only by a hair. - Beryllium Jun 30, 09:30

AEW: there are rumblings that the chair Cody was hit with was gimmicked, but that garbage doesn’t make me want to watch their product. -- nm - Tim Jun 30, 06:55 6

  - I'm not a fan of Janela and his career has an extremely short shelf life. -- nm - Tim Jun 30, 10:39 2
    - I'm a huge fan. He's one of the people responsible for the rise of the indie scene. But he is reckless beyond a point of fault. - David Jun 30, 10:49 1

I like this analysis. Doyle McManus of the LAT - con_carne Jun 30, 05:39 4
- My question: to what extent is the new "liberalness" of the Democrats just a symptom of it being primaries? - con_carne Jun 30, 05:40 3
  - Depends on what sticks with the middle of the nation which really hasn't changed in the last 3 years - Will Hunting Jun 30, 07:33 2
    - In plebicites, voters routinely vote for liberal policies and then conservative legislators - Reagen Jun 30, 09:31 1
      - "Tough on crime" would be the reason in recent local history to consider voting for a conservative -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 13:33
