Waiting to get Justin's opinion

Last year was easily my best year though, usually I am like 17-13, 18-12

[Speilmen230]

17-13 is 8% ROI assuming all lines are -110 and you bet all lines with the same unit. Sign me up.

I did not know:

Bob Cousy was still alive (wasn't sure if he passed or not);

Played briefly with the Cincinnati Royals around 1969-1970;

That there was a team called the Cincinnati Royals

Oscar Robertson averaged a triple double on the Royals in '62. The record many thought would never be broken until old Westbrook came along.

i guess only one real piece of news this week is the Brooklyn stuff

on principle obv i side with Marks/Nash

if i wanna win a championship i absolutely fire them and keep Durant

but Durant is just too volatile. what if you fire them and he asks for a trade anyways?

such a shitshow for that franchise. now his trade value is driven lower. truly dislike this whole situation

[Speilmen230]

Boston, Miami, and Phoenix have reentered the chat.

I know it’s Euroleague, but my dude’s stroke is looking buttery: https://twitter.com/clutchpointsapp/...fE5_Udh5GCggXQ

...and a player option

[dmbfd15]

Mavs open at Phoenix on 10/19.

Really wish I could be at that game. I’d definitely where a lil Wayne shirt lol.

[Rodey]

Lol

It’s my understanding that LA can retire LeBron’s 6 since the Heat will do it now, correct? He deserves having 6 in the rafters if he has another stellar year (or two) left.

[justinandimcool]

he stay tbh

[dmbfd15]

Well that’s a first:

Read: no one will give us enough in return for a guy who is a head case, so we have no choice but to keep him for now.

[justinandimcool]

i read it the other way: none of the teams I wanna go to can afford me and i ain’t goin to Memphis, might as well avoid the complete heel turn and redeem myself


also we’ll see come december/january. once Ayton is available again lmao

[justinandimcool]

Ayton available Jan 15

Simmons is the wildcard, trading him along with the 2028 pick (the only one they can trade if i’m not mistaken) might be a gateway to get better

Irving is still on the block as well, as much as he and Durant are blood brothers

Harris also has 2/37 left

[Speilmen230]

I wonder if they are willing to part with kyrie for less now. #DesperateLeBronStan

They may as well just run it out there for awhile to see what happens. Assuming KD, Kyrie and Simmons all are healthy/decide to play, it's not a bad roster.

Holmgren injured his foot at the Crawsover pro am trying to block a James layup


cool cool super fun tbh

[justinandimcool]

Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson for Beverley!



interested in more details, feel like there’s more value out there for Beverley


also jesus how this Horton-Tucker saga ends for the Lakers, just bad bad bad asset management


also for the casuals, Westbrook and Beverley are teammates lmao

I think this pretty much guarantees Westbrook is gone.

As soon as I saw that deal, my thoughts were this was to get Westbrook to leave.

Holmgren out for the year. truly no words

Yeah, that’s a bummer. Exactly the type of guy who is going to have nagging injuries his entire career though. Just not an NBA frame.

He hurt his frame? He has a foot injury.

Should have lifted more with his toes.

Guys with his height and body (read: frame) are notorious for having foot issues, Stove.

I’ll give you the height part, but the frame part has nothing to do with it. Not for his foot.

Frame is your entire build, including height. So we're agreeing.
