    You're completely ignoring the influence of the ultimate rule -- God Hates Cleveland.

    Also, I'm already afraid of the Spurs this year and that's a major bummer.

    Warriors trade David Lee to the Celtics for Gerald Wallace, saving the Dubs $30 Million.

    probably a smart move and lee will get to play now. he was never getting unburied on the warrior's bench. still, i'll miss him. glad he got a ring and the chance to be a factor in the finals.

    So apparently the Mavericks and the Clippers are still fighting over DeAndre Jordan. Parsons tweeted that he was going to fly out to DeAndre to convince him to go to Dallas and well... here's what happened from there.

    What's not to enjoy about this DeAndre-Clipper-Dallas drama?

    The byline on NBA.com made the whole thing worth it: "Summertime and reneging's easy".

    I saw Bryant's tweet on my feed yesterday (somebody retweeted it), but I had no idea what the whole thing was about. Seeing the whole thing now, I think that has to be the greatest thing I've ever seen.

    Say what you will about the Mavs being snakebit with free agency. They have a title. I'd trade the Cavs situation for theirs in a heartbeat of it came with that championship. ESPECIALLY since it came over the Heatles, and prompted my totally awesome General Nowitzki post.

    Probably a bit anti - climatic in light of the DeAndre Jordan drama, but... LeBron re - signed with Cleveland.

    Thinking you had DeAndre and ending up with Zaza. Now that's disappointment.

    With the 76ers' pillaging and burning of trade with Sacramento finalized, our "tank" is complete and we are sitting on a very tangible pile of gold. Whether Embiid is healthy or not, our starting line up are lottery-level first rounders, including Jason Richardson, Dario Saric will be coming over at the start of next season, and our future drafts are the gift that will keep on giving:
    2016:
    PHI 1st (right to swap w/ SAC, protected 11-30)
    LAL 1st (top-3 protected)
    MIA 1st (top-10 protected)
    OKC 1st (top-15 protected)
    DEN 2nd
    2017:
    PHI 1st (right to swap w/ SAC, protected 11-30)
    PHI 2nd
    2018:
    PHI 1st
    SAC 1st (top-10 protected)
    PHI 2nd
    BKN or CLE 2nd
    LAC or NYK 2nd
    2019:
    PHI 1st
    PHI 2nd
    NYK 2nd
    MIL or SAC 2nd
    2020:
    PHI 1st
    PHI 2nd
    BKN 2nd
    NYK 2nd

    Late career Paul "i called game" Pierce has become amazing. I think I like him more now than I did when he played for the Celtics.

    How dare you dilute that '07-'08 season/title... I mean, how was that Pierce year not more likable?


    Wait, why am I saying this?
    :p

    Yep. While I feel terrible for him as a person, it honestly doesn't affect my optimism for the season. Okafor has been a monster in SL and the thought of him in between Noel's defense and Stauskas' offense is nothing but lovely. If/when Embiid finally plays, he is potentially a franchise changing player, but until then, I'm just glad the BPA in the draft was Okafor.
