I was finding the NBA pretty interesting a couple years ago, how did it become the most boring league in NA, seemingly overnight?
What are the big stories heading into this season? I guess I'm interested in seeing Towns and Gorbert try to coexist on the court.
LeBron has become LeYawn
Ben Simmons completely sucked the life out of the East.
I don't find Milwaukee and Boston all that unlikable, Miami feels almost as irrelevant as Philly.
I don't really care who wins or loses, I'm completely indifferent.
*sigh*

Per The New York Times -
JR Smith states that he, Jamal Crawford, Nick Young, Joe Johnson and Isaiah Thomas have been blackballed from the NBA
I believe it.

Soooo....
After Mark Cuban picked up Delonte at a gas station a couple of years back to help him -
And Delonte was trying out for the Big 3 - and featured on the National News a couple of months back appearing to be doing better and in great spirits
Sadly he's been spotted numerous times on the street and panhandling again over the past couple of months
Hope I don't read about him in the obituaries soon .....

Happens in every industry - especially niche careers where everybody knows everybody (NBA)
Word gets around - you're a headache to deal with, could be a bad teammate causing trouble (not past Dwight levels - I'm talking maybe you did some things that are not repairable as far as mending broken fences and repairing broken bridges)
I've seen resumes come through the door of previous coworkers and their skillset/ability to do the job is secondary to their toxic personality which results in a bad team environment
Sometimes skillset takes precedence over toxic behavior - ala what D'Lo did to Swaggy P years ago
A lot of these players mentioned are older now and their skillsets are diminished. Still think they could be a 10th man or so on a team - but the headache isn't worth it

WOJ BOMB! 'ESPN Sources: Free agent C Montrezl Harrell is signing two-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, including a player option. Harrell brings more toughness to a team searching for it this offseason. He was Sixth Man of the Year with Doc Rivers/Sam Cassell in 2019-2020 w/ Clippers.'Jesus. We are legit scary now Many NBA Insiders already graded us having the best offseason in the NBA Let's Roll Baby!

It had to be fixed, the Celtics sure as hell weren't trying to win that season. Netflix Tim Donaghy documentary implies officials fixed a Celtics game in 2006 The worst part of all this: But let's end on something fun.

I'm going to just go ahead and pencil in the Hawks for a playoff run at the very least.

Waddell and Shaq. You mean Robert Wadlow. (Assuming it's an autocorrect thing.) Imagine if that dude could ball.

Social Media Blowing Up Doc Rivers trending. Apparently a handful of his last 'Likes' are those that concentrate on porn (some trans material too) Between Doc and The Beard - this team is wild.......
