the year is not 1995
yeah i feel like the hawks play in a way that will lead to him getting more touches organically in the offense to keep him happy (ideally at least) i.e. they have no james harden doing 64 under the leg dribbles before drawing a foul with .6 seconds on the shot clock

I just want to see Dwight bring some of that exuberant post-victory celebrating to the Hawks.

kent bazemore has a full page ad in the paper saying he stayed in atlanta because of the fans and yes corny but after the way horford kicked us on his way out the door it managed to make me mist up tbh. have now managed to talk myself into 'i'd rather have dwight for 3 yrs than al for 5' plus the usual 'we can coach him up' kool-aid.

Ethan J. Skolnick @EthanJSkolnick 37m37 minutes agoWhile you're watching Kelly Ripa, one more nugget: Pat Riley never called Dwyane Wade during the entire process.

if i had to predict the west today its like GSW SAS LAC MEM UTA OKC POR NOP those last 2 slots could just as easily be the rockets or mavs tho idk

could seriously see clippers as high as 2, grizz as high as 2 if everyone's healthy (as low as 8 if everyone collapses), would switch utah and PDX...
rn am predicting GSW, SA, LAC, MEM, PDX, UTA, HOU, OKC.

i was really skeptical that the grizz were gonna make it another year but they played so well before the injuries last season and parsons is an upgrade so idk

i think ziller is correct that riles is putting on a show http://www.sbnation.com/2016/7/7/12116312/dwyane-wade-miami-heat-leaves-pat-riley-future
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 7 July 2016 14:06 (seven years ago) link
based on the events as reported i think its clear riley wasn't interested in keeping wade
― ciderpress, Thursday, 7 July 2016 14:09 (seven years ago) link
the heat are like one bad summer away from becoming the knicks tbqh. all it takes is riles striking out on the big targets in next year's free agency, which is entirely in play

this may be true but the heat are a far better run organization than the knicks, which i think is an important distinction. they're def playing a dangerous game but the knicks under dolan have made dozens of deeply harmful decisions the heat would never make.
i think a better approximation for the heat's future is ptob the mavs, in terms of having enough of an organizational foundation to string along competitive seasons w/o getting anywhere close to winning.

xps j0rd: fair points, mavs comp. is more accurate - also, despite my snark all the things that could damn the heat could also bring them back on top if they break the other way, complete tightrope-walk situation
― if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Thursday, 7 July 2016 15:18 (seven years ago) link
i think the heat are slightly delusional about their ability to attract mega free agents. the lebron thing was a one in a million situation and if that didn't happen they were gonna sign amare or boozer.

so next year kd and curry will both command around 35mil/yr
dubs have ~35mil guaranteed to klay/dray already, curry's cap hold is 16mil, so after signing durant that puts them at 86mil. with a cap of 102, that gives them 16mil in space to work with to fill roster spots 5 through 13. seems doable but they won't have any other good players that aren't taking a big ring-chasing discount
