    [Shams] Lillard returns to the Blazers for 42M/3 Years

    It didn't work out in Milwaukee but it was mostly just terrible injury luck. Seems like he regrets ever leaving Portland.

    Bradley Beal Signs 2 Years/$11 Million With Clippers, Agrees to Contract Buyout with Phoenix Suns

    The Clippers have a solid squad but are very old. I don't think Beal moves the needle much for them. Harden - 37 Kawhi - 34 Collins - 27 Zubac...

    How Important is it to like they guys on the Team?

    It's not important. I don't expect players to be role models or even good people. Look at how GS fans root for Draymond despite his dirty antics....

    Rockets acquire Suns picks, return Nets picks to Brooklyn

    If our 2022 pick fell below Jabari's range it wouldn't have been so bad. We could have ended up with Jalen Williams or Dyson Daniels which would...

    Windhorst: Rockets still looking at Giannis

    I think that lineup might be worse defensively than last season. Neither KD nor Jabari match up well with quicker wings. At 37 years old KD is...

    Rockets sign Jabari Smith Jr. to 5-year, $122M extension

    My only concern about Chet is his injury history. Otherwise, I would easily prefer him at his extension over Jabari's. I like Jabari, but I'm not...

    Rockets sign Jabari Smith Jr. to 5-year, $122M extension

    Wondering if Orlando might be better if they swapped Paolo and Jabari is insane. Orlando has been 2nd in defensive rating for the past two...

    Rockets sign Jabari Smith Jr. to 5-year, $122M extension

    Houston is more of a destination team than Orlando, thus the Rockets have more leverage in negotiations. Players want to be here. Dwight, CP3, and...

    Rockets sign Jabari Smith Jr. to 5-year, $122M extension

    Do you think Orlando wishes they drafted Jabari based on these contracts? I highly doubt it. Orlando gave max contract extensions to both Wagner...

    Dorian Finney Smith Contract Details

    I freaked out about the 4 years a little bit, but only two years guaranteed sounds much better. DFS just turned 32 so any longer than that would...

    Cam Whitmore traded to Wizards for 2 2nd round picks

    Possibly not. Just wondering if a vet was assigned to him and if it would have made a difference. Sheppard was tied to FVV right after he was...

    We should have had a mentor for Cam, someone he could connect to either one on one or close to it. Even as rookies Amen and Reed talked...

    Cam Whitmore traded to Wizards for 2 2nd round picks

    Cam has scoring talent, but so did Michael Beasley and Jabari Parker. Points alone don't make you great. He's going to get plenty of reps in...

    [MTG Pod] Kevin Durant openly questions guards like FVV and Reed as starter material

    I think wings and forwards have more leeway in who they defend even though the league is better than ever at hunting matchups. Big guards too....

    [MTG Pod] Kevin Durant openly questions guards like FVV and Reed as starter material

    KD just had a season with Tyus Jones as his starting PG so that probably colors his opinion a lot. If you're a short guard you either need to play...
