Warriors look like breaking their drought of Championships.

All the Cavs need to play their best for them to win this game and series, not just LeBron

Okafor slipped to Philly at 3.
Towns went number 1 to the Wolves. Lakers took Russell with 2 and the Knicks took a huge punt on Porzingis at 4.

Atleast we pissed off Hardaway, sent him via a 3 way trade to Atlanta. In return we got their pick 19 which was Jerian Grant.
Heard a funny quote that said Porzingis will turn out to be either another Dirk or another Darko lol

Every international player is the next Dirk, until they arrive

Free Agency going to be over in no time. No one messing around apart from LMA.

Dallas luring DJ away from the clips is huge for both teams.

Aussie watch:

Aron Baynes has agreed to sign with Detroit to a 3 year deal for between $17m-$20m

Matthew Dellavedova has been given a $1.1m qualifying offer by Cleveland, which he would be crazy to sign

Joe Ingles has supposedly been given a qualifying offer by Utah

Brock Motum will be joining Dante Exum on Utah's summer league team

Ryan Broekhoff will be playing for Denver's summer league team

Baynes getting way overs!! But good on him.

Cavs and Delly talking about 3-5 mill a year!!! Some crazy money flying around before the new caps

Good to see Baynes getting a big pay day, had to settle for a small contract last season with the Spurs. With Monroe gone he should get decent minutes at Detroit.

Dellavedova should get a big pay rise too.

Ingles will probably get a little more than the qualifying offer, seems like he's keen to stay in Utah.

It would be great to see Motum make it onto Utah's regular season roster but think he is a classic example of a guy with no position in the NBA. Not really enough size and strength to be a PF and not agile or a good enough shooter to be a SF. Still really hope he makes it.

Good to see Broekhoff get a look in but doubt he cracks it either.

Believe Cameron Bairstow has 2 more years on his contract at Chicago so hopefully he gets a fair go under their new coach this season.

[Gozu]

Congrats to Joe Ingles re-signing with the Jazz to a 2 year deal for $4.5 million!

[jakovasaurus]

DeAndre Jordan is the biggest piece of shit ever.

[the big bang]

Heading over to the US for a fly-by visit in March, got tickets to GSW v OKC. Hopefully Steph, KD and Russ go for 137 points between the three of them. Also going to LAL v CLE. Hopefully Kobe gets his shit together and starts playing some decent ball and stays healthy so I can see him play one last time, and looking forward to watching LeBron and Kyrie play live too.

Kyrie live was awesome. I was in the States this time 2 years ago and he dropped 40 on John Wall. Also saw GSW vs LA where Paul hit 42 and Curry 39!

Kobe Bryant announced today this is his last season. Age has certainly caught up with him, I think some people have forgotten how good he was. Deserves to go out on his own terms but has last contract probably put the lakers back 5 years.

[jakovasaurus]

the only thing worse than Kobe right now is Byron Scott allowing him to play like this.

Dude needs to call it day immediately. It's sad seeing him like this.

Of anyone playing significant minutes in the league, he is by far the worst player in the league right now.

The Kobe Bryant farewell tour is off to a good start. Philly get their first win of the season, Kobe goes 7 for 26 after hitting 4 of his first 5 shots

I enjoy watching him struggle. He's more of an hinderance than helpful. needs to go asap

[Grahaml]

He's definitely one of the greats. I think he's largely overrated personally, but that's in the context of claims he's one of the top 5 all time. Happy to say top 20, which makes him a special player. Ultimately, he was too selfish a player to let go once he wasn't the force he'd been. Had to keep taking 25 shots a game and even now, his FG% is around 30 for the season. Instead of using his footwork to create for young team mates and be a part of the next championship through that legacy, he just can't trust anyone else or acknowledge that someone else is better than him now.

Everyone in the entire league is better than him now.
