i would if i were the knicks, what's blake locked in for, another 4 years? xp

yeah the knicks obvs do that deal no brainer

i was speaking from the clippers pov if that was at all unclear
I wouldn’t trade Melo for Griffing straight up, then you expect to throw Iman Shumpert in the deal? Whoever wrote this article is completely lost. Melo can score in any way he wants. Griffin’s success is predicated on having a an above average point guard, which the Knicks do not. Knicks already have enough problems scoring. Griffin is in his fourth season and his game is still the same. He’s a 60% FT shooter and doesn’t play defense, and you think that trading the scoring champ for that guy is a good idea? STOP IT.
is there a tumblr that just reposts knicks fan internet comments

the funny thing to me about the bulls is that last year at the beginning of the season everyone was like "oh wow this team is just garbage, nate and bellini, jesus"
then those guys balled out, the bulls had a competent offense and then they both signed nice deals in the offseason
and now the bulls are actually completely untenable on offense with dudes like heinrich and dunleavy who look like they shouldn't be in the nba

Pistons can be competitive from game to game. When two of your starters are two of the streakiest shooters in the league in can click on occasion.

They're very very good at certain things though, because of Drummond. So if your team is weak in those areas (e.g. defensive rebounding), they can be dangerous.

they really should bump the width up by a foot or so- some guys (lebron) can barely fit their feet between the three line and the out of bounds line in the corners! dudes are just bigger all around for the most part than the days when tommy heinsohn was a burly ass power forward at barely 6'6
― z-time champion (agent hibachi), Tuesday, 17 December 2013 22:21 (ten years ago) link
also, why not, it's not like forcing someone out of bounds gets you points, it would just free up more movement for both sides

League officials are less concerned with uniformity and the triumph of math than they are with stylistic appeal, per several team sources who have discussed the issue with the league or attended meetings in which officials brought up the topic.
