It sucks that the Suns are in this situation, but let’s remember who put themselves in this situation. An asshole billionaire. I’m not gonna be mad at a player exercising their power.

 

Tonight's the night. I believe in Magic! Let's goooooo

 

I feel like if the blood clot is still there, he should not even be considering playing????? The whole reason they pull these guys out is the clot could move or break up and go into their lungs, and then they could die.

 

he *shouldnt* be playing, that seems kind of inarguable, but good luck convincing a professional athlete of that when fighting through it is what they did to get themselves where they are, especially with what i’m sure will be plenty of pressure from the team

with the wording of the tweet my guess is they wait and reevaluate after seeing if we either go up 2-0 or down 2-0 quickly and whether he’ll he needed at all this series

 

I think he misses round 1 entirely advance or not, and then theres no way they get bounced by the cavs without him seeing the court, healthy or not.

 

lmao apparently the media that were allowed in this presser with Nico and Welts was hand selected. "Defense wins championships" was uttered a lot when asked about the trade. Can I please wake up just for one day without this team being an embarrassment?

Just as an aside, both teams had better defensive ratings with Luka compared to AD, so do with that what you will.

 

wasn't this guy supposed to be a good grab for the front office, what the fuck

 

any team willing to take in a free agent fan?

 

come to us

 

I think I could watch THJ brick some errant 3pt shots again for awhile

 

lol

 

Make that drive down I35 my friend

 

i believe okc is the closest to dallas by 20 miles or so

 

If OKC doesn't win it all this year they are also the team best set up to contend in the future, which is wild to think about

 

because they’re somehow both the best current roster construction and the team best set up to land the next disgruntled superstar

sickening stuff, presti should be arrested by the ghost of david stern

 

yeah because outside of SGA they're like 19 years old lmao (I'm exaggerating). Invaluable experience if they go deep this early in their careers.

 

Even SGA is only 26

 

Makes me really mad honestly because outside of Kyrie, the Mavs were really young before the trade and already were building that experience. What could've been

 

in football that's geriatric depending on the position

 

I think Zach Lowe mentioned KD is entering his 19th season and I was like wtfffff

 

There’s definitely no other team that has handled their assets better. Pretty sick that a team can lose KD, Russ, and Harden and be better off for it (and Paul George and Chris Paul lol)

Gotta win a ‘chip though otherwise it’s just moving chess pieces for the heck of it and I believe they will

 

Some of the much discussed clippers and rockets picks and whatnot haven’t really matter as much either. Giddey is gone already, they got JWill in the 2nd, Aaron Wiggins in the 2nd, Isaiah Joe was a free agent, Dort was an undrafted free agent turned two way guy turned starter, IHart was a free agent. It’s honestly wild

 

OKC has the talent to win it all this year.

And have all the draft capital and potential players to trade for nearly any star wanting a new home in the event that they don’t win it all.

spooky as they say

 

I would genuinely be so sad if they swing for a disgruntled superstar and have to trade away guys like JDub or Dort lol there’s such great chemistry with these guys
