Im sure Jimmy will get on with Draymond just fine

Pretty good trade for both teams.  Nice return for the Heat, Wiggins is still on the low side of 30 and Shroder continues his hunt to play for 80% of the teams in the NBA.  I don't like Anderson but I think he fits the Heats style of play decently well.

I think Butler is a good pair for Steph, ying and yang.  I don't think they have the horses to challenge for a title, but then again I didn't think they did in 2022 either.

If they team up a rookie is gonna die

I follow the warriors pretty closely and I don't think there's going to be any issues there. Those two will get on just fine, and Steph will respect the hell out of his work ethic.

No idea how it'll pan out on the court but I think the locker room vibes just got a lot better.

Huh?

He's still trade-eligible, scuttlebutt is they think this helps because he's cost controlled. I think they're wrong but I'm just a guy on the internet. Good for Lonzo getting whatever bag he can after his return

I'm at Suns/Thunder in OKC. I realize the part of the country I'm in, but struck me as a bit odd that part of their arena pregame ceremony is a prayer.

I didn't really care one way or the other, just seemed odd for a pro team to do.

Creepy

Standing up and singing the national anthem is weird enough for a non international match

I think we can pretty much pencil  in OKC/Boston  for the Finals.

Lol.

What are the Raptors doing? Are Brandon Ingram's bird rights really worth a first round pick?

The Los Angeles Clippers are trading Kevin Porter Jr. to the Milwaukee Bucks for MarJon Beauchamp, sources tell ESPN.

Wonder if they'll give him Taurean Prince's locker room, after the Cavs had to trade him because he threw a fit (including throwing his food) after they gave Prince his locker when they traded for Prince.

That came shortly after KPJ was involved in a 1 car accident and charged with improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle, failure to control the vehicle and possession of marijuana.

Not to mention being accused of repeatedly punching his girlfriend, causing a gash above her eye and strangling her to the point of fracturing a vertebrae.

Good locker room guy to add.

Kudos to the Bulls for sticking to the 10 year rebuild plan and holding on to the key pieces of their 33 win team. Quality draft assets are the worst way to rebuild a franchise.

Excellent.

Might as well hang Middleton and Baldwin, Jrs. banners together.

Memphis got Johnny Davis. That changes the odds in the West.

Yeah sure but thankfully only one belongs in prison.

Its really weird.  Pre-POS behavior, he was a really talented scorer with some maturity issues on the court.  But filled up the stat sheet nicely.  I guess I can see why the Clippers took a chance after he had a good season in Greece, but he's been thoroughly mediocre this year.  So trading for him with all that baggage at this point is not pleasant.

Its one thing to acquire a bad character guy who is really good and makes you hold your nose while cheering for his contributions to team success.  Its another to get the guy who has shown himself to be an out of control liability on and off the court.

Pretty far down the list of character concerns

I'm sure he was probably stoked to hear he is moving from LA to Milwaukee in February as well.

Yeah, he'll get shot here

He'll be fine as long as he stays off campus.
