I know, I know...just busting balls.

Btw, I have a hunch SA will make some serious noise this season. They will get Murray and Walker back from injury, along with KJohnson, Morris, Carroll all coming in to go with DeRozan, Aldridge, White, and Gay. I bet they finish ahead of both LA teams.

Love Walker. He was my #1 target for the Wolves last draft.

Maybe you have access to super secret game film, but I don't see any similarities to Iverson in their game.

I always think he looks like the good teague. The one that got the big contract.

Why?

Alec Burks? Lol. He was a hype like 5 year's ago and never amounted to a hill of beans.

Interesting.
I remember hearing during yesterday's broadcast, Coach Pierce talking about Spellman not being in shape and why he's playing on the SL team this year while Young and Huerter aren't, and I thought in the moment that was pretty candid considering they're close enough to where he could probably hear them.

More even to that comment than I thought.

Two guys coming off injury riddled seasons looking to get rolling. Probably the perfect trade.

Do you think Livingston wants to join a losing or winning team for his last couple of years in NBA?

I thought he retired about three years ago. Didn't Quinn Cook pretty much nail his ass to the bench?

This guess, for the most part, represents the stereotype (not as a criticism) about players and the league, that it has evolved into (earned or not).

There were rumors. I think the Warriors were pushing for it.

He'll likely sign on with a contender, he still has a little value left. What a story, so happy for him.

I mean it's either contender or money. Which stereotype do you prefer?

One of my favorite players, but might they just have waived/stretched him so they didn't have his full number count against the LUX in his retirement, I guess that is a possibility I am seeing.

Only $2mil of his contract was guaranteed.

I only say those teams as he's been a West coast guy most of his career, and he was with the Clippers before, so familiarity may play a role. Winning a championship at this point probably matters, but he's won multiple titles, probably just wants to stay close to where he's spent most of his career.
