mostly I am baffled by all this and yet ecstatic that kd absolutely destroyed the fourth of july for a generation of thunder fans

oh stop

durant leaving okc for a team that they had 3 chances to eliminate is such a trash move
― marcos, Monday, 4 July 2016 23:01 (seven years ago) link
brimstead cmon dude just u wait
dubs can't help themselves with that shit

wanting a 73 win team to get another all star is a more interesting opinion ur right

Feel like they were sufficiently humbled a couple weeks back
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Monday, 4 July 2016 23:43 (seven years ago) link
about half of the reason i'm happy this happened is because i know it'll offend so many delicate first-take-informed sensibilities of casual fans

GSW getting zaza for 3m is criminal

They maybe got slightly better at C

Warriors could beat this year's Olympic team (tho Klay would have a pretty busy day guarding himself)
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 00:16 (seven years ago) link
zaza is 32 and will probably regress
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 5 July 2016 00:20 (seven years ago) link
He's also v bad at defense and Rim protection which is really all they need from a center

Otoh both of his arms work

He'll be fine and that's a great price obv

Bogut will be 32 in two months and had a significant injury yet again
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 00:27 (seven years ago) link
Andrew Bogut more like Andrew Bigot amirite.

I thought we were in a new era where big men didn't matter what happened to that

I doubt Wade gives them much more than they got from JRpert in the playoffs but I guess he could have a renaissance
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 01:59 (seven years ago) link
he averaged 21, 5.5, 4.3 on 47% from the floor in the playoffs last year, nothing to shake your head at

What the fuck
Free agent guard Seth Curry is finalizing a two-year, $6M deal with the Dallas Mavericks, league sources tell @TheVertical.
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 02:04 (seven years ago) link
he also made like half of his career 3s in those last couple games vs hornets
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 02:05 (seven years ago) link
Harrison Barnes getting the max and Curry getting 3m is not a rational marketplace
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 02:07 (seven years ago) link
is this the start of some movie where the 2 brothers switch places and no one notices

I read that as Stephen Curry the first time and was really confused

lol that mavs squad will still win like 48 games most likely

well big men matter during the regular season because playing small exclusively would be too physically taxing. but the cavs won game 7 w/o playing a traditional center which makes 2 straight champions that severely deemphasized the position.
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 5 July 2016 02:27 (seven years ago) link
you need big men to bang during the regular season & during the playoffs ideally you have big men to be flexible depending on the matchup or series but the best teams are playing small. okc's run in the playoffs could maybe be a counterpoint to that but even they were at their absolute best w/ kd at the 4.
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 5 July 2016 02:29 (seven years ago) link
& even teams w/ dominant centers (pistons, 2016 heat, 2015 rockets) wanna play "small" w/ a combo of guards & wings or in the case of the rockets want to play 4 out w/ a traditional stretch 4
