OKC gets about $8M less in salary in the deal coming back. They were knocking up against the luxury tax line after the Harkless trade so I would imagine that this gives them more ability to do trades in season.
Good news is you are not adding wins with Sterling Brown on your roster and Trey Burke and Chriss are good 10th-11th players off of your bench
Pelton posted his stat-based win projections the other day and has Detroit projected as the worst team in the league at 25.7 wins. His projection has Indiana projected for 38 wins, which shocked me more.
Never rooted against Blake when he was in Brooklyn, but what he is as a player now is pretty much everything that annoys me about that Boston roster. It's going to be really annoying if he's healthy/good enough to see any minutes, because that crowd and fan base is going to go nuts for his flopping, whining, and occasional threes.
I went down a Reddit wormhole looking for info on why Kevin Arnovitz disappeared and deleted his tweets and someone said “he probably fucked Ime Udoka” and I can’t stop laughing at it bc I’m a terrible person
what a horrific choice this was, I assume NBA thought they could sell more jerseys if they were closer to normal wear?
They were terrible but when we won game 5 in them by a lot, Lebron decided we were wearing them in game seven
True question, loved that and gelatinous ignorance. I've always considered Kareem in the vein of ali and Robinson as being pretty ballsy and using their position or situation to progress But I honestly don't know shit. Asshole? Legit? Bit of both?
True story: I saw Kareem at a restaurant and I said "Hello Kareem" and he said "Hi". A+ interaction and socializing on my part
I recommend the Kareem documentary on HBO. He dealt with a ton of racism and bullshit that would turn anyone off from the public eye. He was an activist when doing so resulted in very real personal and professional consequences. And because of that sure, came off as prickly and dickish. Def not as fan friendly or media-polished as Lebron or Steph
Thank you. Knew he was brackish. I adore that. Thanks for the rec. Genuinely interested in learning more
