Looks like five year deals are all the rage now.

They know they'll be fired before 5 years so why not get a few years paid for free right.

Agents are ruining professional sports.

Agents have been a part of pro sports forever. They can’t ruin it unless the players allow them to do so.

OK, the agents and their players are ruining the NBA. And providing a goofy product to the fans.

I'd lay most of the blame on the shoe companies, for both college and pro basketball.

And the teams. And the League for allowing it all to damage their product.

The only ones who are the victims are we, the paying fans.

The NBA is about as healthy as it’s ever been. Have you been watching the playoffs? They’ve been great.

Cowherd's source, Durant to the Knicks 100%. He's calling to recruit players.

Yeah, SAS and others have been saying it for more than 2 months now. Stephen A has been quoted many times as saying it's a done deal. I hadn't heard about already recruiting players but that makes sense.

Just lately, Steven A and Winhorst are saying there's a chance Durant stays in Oakland. Just saying. I was watching both on ESPN yesterday.

I hope he doesn't go anywhere near NY or LA.

zero chance he goes to Lakers. Clippers maybe a slight chance.

One of the shows they had former NBA guys, and they ALL said Clippers are seen as the better destination over the Lakers by far! That was NOT the case when the Clippers first hit SoCal! LOL!

Curry is on fire.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

What I don’t like is getting cute with a sizable lead. It’s a bad habit every time they’re up 15 pts +.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Ridiculous defense ...out scored by 11 in final three 1/2 minutes of the quarter.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Hood is giving dubs problems.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Reason blazers still in this: + 10 rebounds and + 16 pts free throws.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Iggy hurt...

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Talking to myself! lol.

 

[Yuma]

I am one of the few that like GS. I am hoping they make it to the finals.

 

[Hoop Head]

At least you noticed that. I saw Russ and a few others posting about the game in the playoff thread. I was wondering why you were here posting it about it since you posted there for that last game.
