you think kings will make a run. I do. I expect them in the playoffs. One of the most exciting teams in the NBA. Happy for Fox and Hield when they were criticized by some in their respective draft for having huge 'Bust' potential. should i buy a jersey of fox at all?.

buy 3. their home their away their alternate you don't think thats a bad potential investment at all?. Quite the opposite. What a cool name. Fox. And if he bolts in free agency or gets traded - it makes your jersey a 'retro' - i.e. 10 times cooler than it already was. (this of course is if you're that guy - i.e. a 'jersey guy' - the guy that wears the name of another man on your back. not my cup of tea but you do you)

Raptors:
Kyle Lowry gets a 1 year $31 mil contract for 2020.
I don't like it. I would have flipped him at the trade deadline to a contender for future assets.
1 year isn't the end of the world though - they can easily do the same at the 2021 trade deadline.

My expectations with the Rockets are 50 win and 2nd round exit. But given the fact that we have two players who make the headlines frequently (Harden & Westbrook) you can only imagine how much noise we will make. And mostly for wrong reasons. But whatever. It will be fun.It will be hilarious to see some Rocket fans having frequent meltdown about how the media and the people hate Rockets. And of course it will also be fun to see certain media people like cowherd go mad on Westbrook & Harden.

He'll be gone as soon as anyone wants to give Masai some draft picks. If that's never, so be it. This isn't a huge anchor.

I can't wait for the 1st 'eye roll' - i.e. when Russ is dominating the ball - or vice versa when Harden is chucking up 3s and Russ is just standing around like a mannequin - and one or the other gets frustrated. It's going to be fun to watch.

Hasn't he hit the wall just a bit and not getting any younger? PGs typically do this. That being said - I'd be more than happy to give up a Sixers 1st (since it's going to be a late rounder) for a guaranteed title. Having a savvy vet who already has a ring at PG to bring the ball up court when the game slows down is invaluable in the playoffs. Sixers had Butler do it in the Playoffs last year because Ben struggles a bit in the halfcourt game as opposed to transition. That being said - I don't know how'd they'd take on that salary. Would have to dump some scrubs and then flip you a #1 too.

Wow. Hope he doesn't lose his job over it and I'd be disappointed in the Rockets / NBA if anything came of this. Shite just got real, if you've not heard - Chinese state tv (or as they call it 'tv') has cancelled any/all NBA coverage. That's a lot of f'ing money & viewers. A. Lot. Harden apparently is defending PRC's decision or whatever... fully likely because of his own side monies through China. What's funny to me is how surprised the NBA seems caught flat footed at this ordeal. A single tweet by one team affiliated suit, & it's economic warfare?? How they couldn't see that on the table of potential is pretty eye opening. Is the NBA going to support the freedom of expression here or cave to the PRC's swordplay? Their dawdling seems to make it look like they want both... which probably won't fly. They should've just caved & said the freedoms of individuals in the west or whatever are economically equal to the freedom expressed by the PRC's agreements or whatever. I.E. The NBA knew the PRC's hilarious human rights records when it made all these deals... & now all of a sudden it's a problem for Silver? Child please. All because Yao Ming once played for the Rockets lols.

Kevin Durant states the Knicks aren't 'Cool' and that kids today associate with the Warriors, the Lakers to an extent and now the Nets.
Going to be fun watching Knicks/Nets games over the next few years.

I have the Bucks and Clippers in the Finals with the Bucks winning. Clippers are going to have an awesome defense. I always check the box score to see how Landry Shamet is doing. I didn't like giving him up (I'm a Sixers fan) in the Harris deal. Young energetic sharp shooter who really impressed his rookie year. I'm curious to see what the Bucks do with Dragan Bender. Kids still only 21 - but was drafted extremely high in 2016 by the Suns and has greatly underwhelmed. Bucks vs. Clips would be a fun Finals.

Zion and the Pels vs. Donovan Mitchell and the Jazz tonight at 8pm on NBATV Excited for both teams this year. I think the Pels are going to surprise people and the Jazz are my sleeper to come out of the West with the addition of Conley.

Zion and the Pels vs. Donovan Mitchell and the Jazz tonight at 8pm on NBATV Not as good as Knicks v Wizards. I tell all my friends that NBA pre-season is really just as good as regular season. The top players actually log 30-35 minutes. They all play hard. Wizards v Lakers the other night was like a playoff game. The pre-season games that suck are the overseas ones. Have to do away with them. And if I am an NBA player I would not go. What the hell does a player get out of the league trying to market their game to foreign markets? Is Julius Randle getting any benefit out of Japan maybe buying into the league five years from now? The league is really using these players with that overseas crap. Almost like a slave auction. "Look, at our players. Jump, boys. Dribble that ball. Give us some nifty crossovers so the Chinese officials will sink more money into the owners' pockets." It really is disgraceful what the NBA is doing with their players.
