oh man

damn rip

dammit

soon as i read that i speculated where it happened and i was right, there's this terrible curve at the 11200 block of Ventura Blvd where i feel like accidents occur all the time.

RIP :(
My buddy had 27-10 vs him in high school, the tape of which got him a scholarship. He said Rasual was one of the most respectful dudes he played against.

yeah dude was supposedly one of those ultimate teammate type of dudes. everyone loved him. pretty cool he came back through the d league and got another later career opportunity a couple years back

dammit

i feel like i know exactly what you're talking about but it's been awhile .

This Tyreke Evans season needs more love and attention He's healthy (knock on wood), has played in 46 of 49 games this season and is averaging 20/5/5 on 46/39/80 in about 30 mins per game. 39% 3s on 5.4 attempts per game is awesome. Sustainable?

yeah hes having an insane out of nowhere year, ppl prob arent talking abt it cause hes on a bad team and its assumed its a fluke

i know the grizz are trying to sell high. asking for a first from philly after they took a run at him

yeah theyll prob settle for less at the deadline

Carne -- speculating based on where it ended up but it looks like he flipped his vehicle heading west right where Ventura curves sharply, by the Marshall's a few blocks west of Vineland.

right on cue

As trade discussions involving Memphis Grizzlies guard Tyreke Evans intensify, front office plans to sit him out until a deal is completed, league sources tell ESPN. He'll start sitting vs. Pacers tonight. Trade deadline is next Thursday.

there u go

wonder who cld really uses him hes pretty versatile wld be great for a contender that needed a supersub who can play multiple positions/ finish the game in smallball/high scoring lineups

who could use his services the most?

Cleveland?
Wizards with Wall out? (would help their bench a ton after he comes back, too)
Indy? Collison is a better backup than starter
Philly showed interest but not sure they need another version of ben simmons? idk
Nuggets if he's down to run point

uh the warriors could use him since they dont have a steph contingency plan

Tim Kawakami @timkawakami 28m28 minutes ago

I'm not sure Evans is an exact fit for the Warriors, and in a bidding situation, they don't have a lot of assets, but just noting this: Evans' agent when he came into the league was ... Bob Myers.

dubd cld def use him for sure their bench is thiiiiin

really any contender cld use him when it comes down to it, i dont like him as much for a non contender, feels like a win now move

hmm evans' contract is pretty small

so the list is basically golden state and houston lol

celtics cld use someone who can score at all tbh but doesnt seem like their kind of at this point in their development, unless they got a good deal of course

move

maybe one of their young players is secretly bad and can be flipped

mirotic also sitting until hes traded

I have both on my fant team. And Blake lol

hah rough

wld welcome him

A number of teams have inquired about #Knicks big man Kyle O'Quinn, a list that includes the Boston #Celtics.

im uncomfortable with how few trade rumors im hearing about the cavs right now, i feel like they need to do .... something

Maybe Gilbert took that pick off the table

yeah i mean if they refused to trade their own pick over the summer to get paul george they prob are committed to the post bron future, as hard as it is to imagine

in which case they shd just really trade bron

i mean if they have any hope of retaining him they must know theyre closing the door by not doing any cool trades over the last ~6 months

bron has a no trade clause iirc

yea I think that's right

if hes halfway out the door why not waive it u know

wld be a better story for him too being traded rather than the decision part 2

lol he shd do the decision part 2 tho that wld be funny as hell

i have decided to take my talents to europe, i am signing with baskonia

Jaylen Brown smashed all over the zinger

if hes halfway out the door why not waive it u know

logically seems to make sense for all parties involved but idk, feel like there’s a stigma to *being traded* and also optically I feel like (in effect) demanding a trade looks like quitting

bron himself set up the story line of his triumphantly coming home so he could give Cleveland championships. He loudly claimed Cleveland as his chosen home and one true love. now he's kind of stuck with either staying true to his self-generated hype and sticking with the Cavs, or explaining why he never meant what he said and wiping the egg off his face.

nasty lil inside out

celtics up 16 on the knicks sans kyrie and couple other dudes

wow straight buyout for greg monroe

maybe bron is just tired of seeing maga hats in the first few rows of home games

reasonable

bron should be allowed to throw the ball as hard as he can in that guy's face
