What's the deal with the Spurs draft pick from last year getting dumped by the team?

I. Don't. Care.

And now we have an answer.

Exposing himself to women. A female team staffer has hired the lawyer who went against Watson.

He was universally seen as an extreme overdraft and now it's, somehow, worse than that. A very strange Spurs miss.

Somehow, this Pacers team is really fun to watch. Love the youthful energy and skill. Matherin and Haliburton are a crazy good backcourt.

Might see if someone would trade you a pack of socks for Hield, though.

Lebron played GM. He has no one to blame but himself.

How reeruned do you have to be if you are the Kings to trade Haliburton? I just...what?

Kyrie just couldn't let the Lakers get all the headlines this year.

Klay showing off his rings to Devin Booker who has proven to be a more productive scorer in this league than Klay has ever been would be the equivalent of Sammy Watkins telling Calvin Johnson he’s a better receiver than he was. Klay’s best season doesn’t come close to Book’s production. He isn’t even close to the superstar level that Booker is on.

Klay peaked years ago as a borderline superstar. He’s never even been the go to guy on his own team. 6 years of productive basketball mixed in with the rest of his career filled with injuries and depleted production somehow equals a 70% chance of being a HOFer? Get the **** of here with that nonsense. ROFL

:facepalm:

In fairness - Kyrie won that round.

He addressed the initial question in a thoughtful and well reasoned way. Then the reporter wanted to try to trap him and Kyrie called him on his bullshit.

Kyrie isn't the villain in that clip at all.

Grizzlies getting their asses kicked tonight in Utah. Lauri Markkanen is having an incredible start to the season. He’ll definitely be a fan favorite for the Jazz. Looks like an upgrade over Bogdanovic already. They’re definitely one of the major early surprises to me. They’ve got some good pieces in place with absolutely no expectations.

No, he's just an idiot that thinks being a contrarian is equivalent to having intelligence. I've lost count on how many times this guy has actively tried to make himself a story over the past few years. He's going to end up in LA next year too, which should prove even more hilarious.

So is Utah actually good?
