I love Popp

International hoops seems to be going the way of the short-lived international rules hybrid.

Someone get the Irish on the phone.

Thon Maker’s fly kicks would appease them

Just a quick note to advise that I have also withdrawn from Team USA basketball training camp in order to prepare for the upcoming NBA season.

Can't believe he rooted & impregnated a 13yo when he was 20yo and they've struck a statue in his honour outside their stadium.

I mean, technically the "opportunity presented itself" this year (and you chose the KNICKS as a preferred destination instead), but hey.

The 2016 Draft class is going to be a focus in the coming months, with extensions due and all.

If I'm remembering right, Simmons & Murray are the only ones who have already cashed in, bar the second rounders like Brogdon & Zubac.

It'll be interesting to see who gets offered what. Spitballing, I reckon it might be something like


Sorted this year: Hield, Poeltl, LaVert, Siakam, Murray

Inevitable extension in 12 months time: Brown (could be in the first group)

Wait for the market to set a price, but probably retain: Ingram, Sabonis, Beasley

Genuinely up in the air: Prince, Dunn, Valentine, Hernangomez, Bembry, Zizic

Fighting for their careers: Maker, Labiessiere

As I now understand Karl Malone agrees.

Think the Cavs will be (should be) hoping LeVert holds off on an extension and hits free agency as a RFA.. will have heaps of cap space and he's probably the ideal target being from Ohio plus played under Beeline at College. Might be one they try prize away with a big offer that Nets may be unwilling to match.



well, I hope so anyways

Coming back from injury, this is definitely a possibility.

Mind, he played pretty well in the playoffs. It'll be interesting to see how the Nets approach it.

More players dropping out of team usa

It's like the Warriors bandwagon.

He was talking to the Chicago Tribune, there was no chance he was outright going to say no.

He said Chicago is the Mecca of basketball, if that isn't proof he's a moron then just read his comments about Pelinka doing a good job.

The dude is great player but clearly an idiot.

Would be hilarious if he left the Lakers after the season for Chicago though.

LeBron retires and AD leaves.

Lakers win 7 games.

Good times.

Thunder reveal new uniforms, one of which is dedicated to the Oklahoma City bombing

As you can imagine I was hesitant on going further after reading.....but as you know new uniforms and the trade deadline are my favourite parts of the season. So I did....

 

[nahnah]

thought a new era without Westbrook was a good time for OKC to go with a new colour palette and design, guess not

The THUNDER font is boring and uninspiring.

The THUNDER font is boring and uninspiring.

Also have never liked the way 'Oklahoma City' is crammed in there.

The only colour combo of theirs I haven't disliked is this one, but it's probably too similar to the Knicks.

Jokic going full Lance Whitnall

Even in that version the OKC is a little too small for mine. But colours wise yes its the best.

Oklahoma city is a tough one to squeeze in. Id like to see this

Id like to see what a west and east all star squad is like now
