good lord what's going on in Cleveland?
I stuck up for him as long as I reasonably could. Fact is he's playing for his next contract right now, let's see if his dad can keep quiet next season especially if he has to take a step back in pay and isn't a starter.

11,11 and 8 the potential is still absurd he's a perfect fit for the Kings if he pans out.
That game featured a center getting a double-double with assists, and a point guard on the same team getting a double-double with rebounds... The hell we doing?
Speaking of hell (beep), Art Briles (s/o to Stugotz).

LeBron isn't playing in a game that the gd lakers pretty much have to win. Have they conceded?
That's a lot of salary for 31 wins.

We did well with Webber. Come home, Spida.

At least they have a lottery pick to look forward to … oh wait!

And another type of tear when they win the lottery. Suck it Lakers, haha.

Pretty sure that pick’s unprotected so they’re going to be crying regardless
Yeah, it's the Brandon Roy situation all over again. Everyone knew the injury history at the time of the draft. He slipped because of it and Denver took a calculated risk that may not pay off. He's young enough that he'll probably play again but mobility may always be an issue. At least in this case Denver isn't completely sunk without him.
One of my favorite bits of NBA trivia continues to be that Portland went 57-25 in the 82 games they got out of having Roy, Oden and Aldridge at the same time.

Gotta feel happy for that family though. Pre-draft, there were a number of articles about how a number of his family members had to retire early from hoops, because medical issues. His contract should set them up for generations.
Tomas Satoransky pulled off the Jason Kidd/Draymond Green special (zero-point double-double).
Suicides.
I've always been a fan of that because not only was it almost a .700 winning clip but it worked out to exactly one full NBA season which makes it more impressive/sad.

The issue is they can't trade this year's pick until draft day and can trade any other first round picks until 2026/2027. MPJ's 30 million dollar per year mega contract doesn't even start until next year and is 5 years long, so unless some front office out there is irrationally high on him, Denver would probably have to throw another asset in to make a team give them something good back.

if I'm Denver, I'm going after Beal, Dame or Siakam. Those teams will rebuild eventually, question is how soon. Yes, Raptors have a winning record this season but let's not fool ourselves, they aren't going anywhere as constructed.
