NBA Offseason

Hayward is good. He never really got to show his stuff in Boston.

But that’s a pretty big investment.

Gives Klay hope i guess

4 year 120 mil?!

He has a good agent. Just ask Hasbeen.

Phoenix Suns always trying to compete with Sacramento as the dumbest franchise.

"You just hit the nail on the head," Oubre said during an appearance on "Damon, Ratto & Kolsky," on 95.7 The Game in San Francisco. "I can play for an owner -- somebody who actually cares about the organization and not just the perception of the organization on the media end of it. It's all about the foundation for me, man. You have a beautiful foundation, can build a beautiful [future]."

"And I want to show everybody that I can potentially be a Hall of Fame player as well."

has Wiggins ever said anything like that?

John Wall must be done for Washington to throw in a 1st rounder with him for Westbrook.

[pdub]

The Washington Wizards?
Perfect.

I do like the fit with Beal.

Would be very helpful if their Israeli guy is ready from day 1.

Might as well trade underachieving guards with bad contracts.

Meanwhile, let’s not forget the Rockets traded Chris Paul, who has arguably been as good or better than Westbrook recently, two first round picks and two first round swaps for Westbrook.

They got one of those firsts back.
And John Wall off an Achilles injury.
Oof.

Sounds like Harden preferred Wall.
Not surprising.

Didn't know where to post this. Unfortunate but understandable.

Sizzler Nation,
After careful thought and consideration, it is with a heavy heart that I come to you after having to make an Executive Decision to cancel our upcoming abbreviated 2020-21 ABA season.
As of Thanksgiving week in both Kansas and Missouri, we have almost 450,000 cases and over 5000 deaths due to the coronavirus pandemic. The decision was made based on the ongoing rise in numbers as well as recommendations from the medical professionals saying that indoor sports should not be played without some clear safety guidelines.
Currently, our league has left decisions to be made on the individual owners and while our team may practice good safety measures, I cannot guarantee that the teams we play will be following similar guidelines nor can we control what happens outside of Sizzler practices and games.
This decision is difficult for many reasons, but it will give me a great peace of mind knowing that I am doing my part in reducing the spread of a potentially deadly virus in my community. This will give me some time to focus on fundraising for the organization.
I am not comfortable enough with the medical information or lack thereof in regards to me understanding and/or implementing proper protocols and procedures necessary to keep everyone safe and avoid spreading the coronavirus. This is not something that I want to gamble on; life is too precious and with the numbers of infected increasing daily, it is unlikely that our season would be uninterrupted by potential exposures.
As an organization, we cannot afford to start and stop an already abbreviated season as it would be more of a detriment as opposed to a benefit in the foreseeable future being a small market sports team. The health and well-being of our players, families and fans are important enough for me to take this stance.
Some will understand and some will not and I get it. I cannot please everyone but I choose to be safe and to keep my players, staff and families safe by not subjecting them to something that we cannot control. Stay in touch as we continue to update our website.
Stay safe and healthy...

good for him

[Deleted User 289]

Wondering if he would be dumb enough to go out in public with that - if he didn't have any "security".

[CrimsonNBlue]

OK, this is great.
