Is this a satirical thing that BR have mistakenly taken seriously? I haven't seen the quote anywhere else and it's so dumb I have trouble believing it

Nah it's straight up from one of the satire pages.

Why are Indy so keen on Westbrooke ? Doesn't make sense to me

They aren't.

They want two unprotected firsts from the Lakers.

Long may the Lakers refuse to play ball, because Turner and Hield could actually help them, a lot.

Total reg season career score (i.e. greatness + longevity):

LeBron James	20,058*
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar	19,713
Karl Malone	18,744
Wilt Chamberlain	17,169
Michael Jordan	16,699
Tim Duncan	16,341
Dirk Nowitzki	15,128
Shaquille O'Neal	15,106
John Stockton	14,744
Kobe Bryant	14,692
Oscar Robertson	14,299
Magic Johnson	13,936
Hakeem Olajuwon	13,803
Larry Bird	13,755
Chris Paul	13,586*

Looking at it per game played to reduce longevity factor (min 500 games played). Probably the closest to the overall GOAT rankings (for reg season).

Wilt Chamberlain	16.43
Michael Jordan	15.58
Magic Johnson	15.38
Larry Bird	15.33
LeBron James	14.68*
Oscar Robertson	13.75
Jerry West	13.73
Kevin Durant	13.44*
Stephen Curry	13.13*
David Robinson	13.01
James Harden	12.78*
Karl Malone	12.70
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar	12.64
Shaquille O'Neal	12.52
Charles Barkley	12.11

Nah it's straight up from one of the satire pages.

Also came out and said he and Ant will be the next Shaq and Kobe...

1) The image is a fake quote
2) No he didn't, he said they will have to play at that level "if possible" to "be considered the consensus best duo in the NBA" (which was a reporter question) :


Are so many s**t and inaccurate takes the price of being relevant?

The Wolves are relevant?

Day 85: Still I wait for Sexton resolution

Day 85: Still I wait for Sexton resolution

Prousty told me he'd be getting a max from Cleveland in the first hour of free agency. Shocked that turned out to be wrong.

Think I read latest offer was 3/40, and he's thinking starter money, which is probably closer to $20 mil per. Given you're $15 mil below tax line and reportedly don't want to pay that yet, seems unlikely he'll get his wish.

Probably waiting for Durant situation to play out in the hope more suitors come along. Don't think he has many, if any, at the moment.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

The Wolves are relevant?

Remains to be seen. It was more a question of whether the dumb stuff in media is an indication that we are

 

[Memphis]

The Wolves are relevant?

Going for back to back playoff appearances.

So Boston has put Brown, White and a future on the table for KD. Nets want Smart, another role player plus more picks in addition.

How far Boston are willing to get bent over to get him is the question.

Brown is a nice get but they can shove white up the ass.

It'll have to be a Williams.

Nets should stay strong. They have the high ground with kd contracted forever plus he loves to play / want to make up for the missed knee injury time

 

[Marcel Proust]

Windhorst on @AZSports says the Celtics' trade offer to Brooklyn for Kevin Durant is likely weeks old:

"I don't think the Nets are involved in active talks right now. ... I know it came out today so it's front of mind, but those are not fresh talks."

 

[scaryness]

He's not getting traded

As a celts diehard I can understand the desire to bring KD in, but cannot accept giving anything more than the offer on the table and would prefer to keep JB if Nets want anything more.

Nets apparently want JB Smart and 2 first.
GTFO.

I hope u are right.

If I am Brooklyn I am saying the starting point is Brown and Williams, please add to that base with picks and role players

I can get not wanting to break up a team that just went to the finals but White doesn't offer much value so it is essentially KD for Brown and a late pick.

Not enough

Collin Sexton and his agency, Klutch Sports, "have shown so far that they won’t settle in negotiations. Discussions could go into training camp, and potentially into the season when the landscape of the league’s rosters shift," per Shams Charania.​

Lol letting it drag into the season would be so dumb, not like the cavs didnt just have a good season without him and added another SG in the lottery. Miss training camp, miss early season and take QO... what motivation would the team have in making him earn his minutes in a big way

 

[Slysh]

That teal jersey is amazing... One of my all time favourites already

Grant? Surely not considering timelord?
