Figured that was coming for a few weeks now and especially after that trade today signaled heading into full tank mode. Raptors have an absolutely garbage roster outside of Barnes. [Reply]
If your entire measure of relevance is postseason success, then Lebron is irrelevant as well because his team will be lucky to even make the play-in tournament. [Reply]

The standings don't matter at this point of the year. They don't even really matter in April either (see the 2021 Jazz for just the most recent example, which likely not coincidentally comprised of 2/5 of the same starting lineup as the TWolves).
And the Lakers clearly aren't winning the championship this year either with that flawed/incomplete roster, but that's why getting #5 earlier this month was so essential. [Reply]

Yeah he sucks. Raptors had to take that contract on to get the Knicks to give up Quickley for a guy in OG who's gonna be a FA next year. [Reply]

Keep fucking that Utah chicken. It's lazy and uninformed.
And Lebron isn't winning any championships because he was an epic dumbass who joined a tire fire of a team and sold off the youth they had for an oft injured piece of shit. It's his own damn fault. Loved watching the guy play in his prime, but any athlete who chooses brand over winning is bound to wind up with neither. [Reply]

Holy cow
Kevon Looney was directly responsible for that loss. He played no defense, fouled, didn't try on offense and then didn't even try on the game winning shot. [Reply]
