    Doc after trade: Paul wanted to play w Harden. I can't be mad at that

    Harden is a unselfish superstar that's 28. While Melo, Paul, Lebron get older .. he's the guy that's still in his prime.

    Banana is being considered the most racist word for the group of "American Asian".

    Yellow skin and white filling.

    Not sure if black people will also have similar food/fruit for the same purpose.

    I think this should be a good indicator that he is going to Cleveland, no?

    Hot take right here. No wonder _holic is a very well respected insider.

    The roster still has open spaces so he guaranteed us two more guys. No wonder I used the 1 week free trial to your insider newsletter and then dumped it sista

    Between AAU, summer leagues, sponsored showcases, basketball academies and prep schools, etc. it seems like these guys have played together or at least known each other for half their lives before even getting to the league. Of course the internet makes it that much easier to maintain these relationships regardless of location. On top of that, contracts are inflated; as long as they're not complete trash, players are going to make tens of millions of dollars and be set for life. As a result, the league is naturally less competitive.

    Compare this to the 80's where players weren't childhood friends, and the salary cap (in '85) was a minuscule $4.23M. Even adjusting for inflation that's only $9.56M for an entire team, and we currently have a league where Meyers Leonard alone makes $9.9M. League minimum was $70k and earning potential was limited to roughly a decade; guys didn't have the luxury to simply make the league and then coast for the rest of their career.

    TL;DR: I miss when players hated each other and had to fight tooth and nail for their livelihood.

    We have no 1 and no 2.

    Hardens the best, cp3 is 2nd.

    If we got melo he would be 3rd best. Thatd be fantastic but if not im still happy we got our no 2.

    Anthony is amazing but the least valuable out of those 3
