@Fullcourtpass Doc Rivers cost the Magic Tim Duncan in free agency due to his rules with planes, now he just lets guys do whatever?

Myles Turner reveals Giannis Antetokounmpo and other Bucks players showed up late for practices, film sessions, and even flights
“It got to the point where I knew to not show up until an hour after they said the plane was going to take off… Giannis is going to show up whenever he wants”

@TheBHentel KG the god but let’s not get it twisted like Franz Wagner ain’t cooking any nigga in the hood
English

@WizardsMuse1 I like Sarr’s potential too, but he’s showing signs of being super fragile like AD and Embid. He’s way too young to be sitting out this many games for different injuries.
English

@StationKilo @WizardsMuse1 When Lakers listened they won a chip. The stopped listening and put him back at the 5. Haven’t won since
English

@WizardsMuse1 "we will listen to anthony" is how every ad partnership begins.
new orleans listened. los angeles listened.
both teams traded him.
English

@LegionHoops Agreed, it’s the agents job to make sure teams understand his value. And he did have value, the proof is in the pudding.
English

Quinn Cook on Threads:
“I was just here thinking. I went to three straight NBA Finals. Was the leading scorer off the bench my two years in Golden State and really contributed. Barely played with the Lakers but won 2 rings in 3 years. I never was on a guaranteed contract after that lol..... My agent stunk.”

@jasonrmcintyre The owners need to end fully guaranteeds the next CBA. Go to signing bonus based on tix prices and attendance and pay by the game with injury safe guards….if you play 78-82 games you’ll make more than now…you play 50-60, it will be less.
English

@Justkotei @PlayerPropX @TheHoopCentral @SportsCenter @ClutchPoints Right even now he provides more. He did with the Suns as well.
Some people can’t understand how important the team around you is, it doesn’t matter how good you are. Your team matters

@SCookington @PlayerPropX @TheHoopCentral @SportsCenter @ClutchPoints kd has never just been a scorer even way past his prime.
English

AJ Dybantsa's current starting 5:
PG: LeBron James
SG: Steph Curry
SF: AJ Dybantsa
PF: Kevin Durant
C: Nikola Jokic
“I’ll have Curry at the 2, but he’s strictly there to shoot.” 🤣

@Justkotei @PlayerPropX @TheHoopCentral @SportsCenter @ClutchPoints Oh I’m sharp, you’re are correct. What he’s doing at this age is incredible. I feel like the person who I responded couldn’t have possibly watched KD in his prime with comments like this.
English

@SCookington @PlayerPropX @TheHoopCentral @SportsCenter @ClutchPoints why yall only reduce kd greatness to his mvp ?? that mf been great his whole life
English

@melo214_ @RaTeD_RMN @Underdog Weird how you ignore all the hall of famers harden played with. How many finals he been to? Won?
English

@melo214_ @Underdog They’re confused and they think prime Harden playing with Eric Gordon and Ariza is remotely close to prime Wade Ayo playing with prime Bron and prime Chris Bosh, then Ray Allen who was the deadliest shooter next to Curry and Klay even at that age.
CP3 got hurt (was up with him)
English

@TheHoopCentral @SportsCenter @ClutchPoints KD so been overrated, all he can do is score, but is bad at everything else
English

@SKaysHess @LegionHoops He put together mid and refused to go into the luxury tax with a prime Harden facing Warriors year after year
English

@LegionHoops Loved the Houston rockets team Daryl put together but his Sixers tenure was rocky
English

@FTFonFS1 @Chris_Broussard @getnickwright Horrible journalism. They’re getting paid to lie and create weak narratives. Nick Wrong and and partner can never be trusted
English

.@Chris_Broussard: “The chatter isn't that James Harden doesn’t play well in the playoffs… In the biggest games…he doesn’t deliver.”
@getnickwright: “It's not that Harden is never excellent in the postseason. It’s that he is rarely excellent when you most need his excellence.”
English

@chiefstalk1 @Cameron59667930 @SleeperWizards @DraftExpress @ZachLowe_NBA Where're was that level in the tournament? I saw some fight out of AJ that's i liked in the tournament. Darryn left me scratching my head
English

@Cameron59667930 @SleeperWizards @DraftExpress @ZachLowe_NBA As a jazz fan I’m praying the wizards think like you. I want the all universe shot maker who rises to the challenge and fucks up AJ every time they play. DP has another level he goes to that AJ just doesn’t have at all
English

"I've seen those guys on the same floor in person probably 8-10 times…
Not once did I come away thinking AJ Dybantsa is a better prospect than Darryn Peterson”

@the_jabronie @Hero_OfThe_Day @NBAonPrime All of the other series have been exciting and fun, it's been a bey nice playoff run overall. The OKC games are the ones that are hard to watch
English

@Hero_OfThe_Day @NBAonPrime Haven’t watched one second of the playoffs just because the little I see on social media. I miss watching but I can’t watch this egregious game anymore
English

UNWATCHABLE. Shai backs his butt up into Austin Reaves, jumps backwards into him, and they give him free-throws 😭😭
@NBAonPrime then went to a replay from possessions ago, because they know this is disgusting basketball.
English

@two_edged @UnderdogNBA @ShamsCharania Lot of first round losses or missing playoffsNot as hard to replicate as it seems. He does have a ring, he injured Kyrie, Harden was on half of one hammy and KD’s big toe helped big time. Finals vs Devin Booker lol he capitalized. I like Giannis though just some perspective
English

@UnderdogNBA @ShamsCharania Even the idea of Giannis being available forces teams into panic mode because there’s no realistic way to replace that kind of impact
English

Latest on Giannis Antetokounmpo trade front, per @ShamsCharania:
- Front office maintaining asking price of "a young blue-chip talent and/or a surplus of draft picks"
- Bucks also leaving the door open to pursue a major trade to convince Giannis to stay once again
- Wolves, Cavs, Celtics, Knicks, Lakers pursued Giannis at the trade deadline
Underdog NBA@UnderdogNBA
Shams: Bucks are open for business on trade calls for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

@kyfanjb @SBN_Ricky @RobVanKammen @pitlessball I think sky is the limit all of them. The org you’re drafted to has a heavy hand in development as well, so it’s just going to be a weight and see for all of them.
Boozer’s game is less flashy than the others, I think that clouds his floor and ceiling for some
English

@SCookington @SBN_Ricky @RobVanKammen @pitlessball Might can get some better for sure, but Caleb Wilson and the other 3 definitely seem to have higher ceilings . Don’t think that’s even questionable? I also don’t care either way.
English

Small chance Cam Boozer falls to No. 4, but Caleb Wilson is the most likely Bulls pick. That would be great. This is the best highlight tape of any prospect this year, via @pitlessball
Ricky O'Donnell@SBN_Ricky
Instant NBA mock draft after the Wizards win the lottery, and the Bulls move up to No. 4: sbnation.com/nba/1113466/nb…

@ClutchPoints Imagine if Dwight took matters into his own hands when they were doing this too him but even worse lol
English

Mitch Johnson on Victor Wembanyama's ejection 👀
"I'm glad he took matters into his own hands. Not in terms of hitting Naz Reid, I want to be very clear about that. I'm glad Naz Reid is okay... But [Wemby's] going to have to protect himself if [the refs] are not. The amount of physicality that people play with, with him, at some level, you have to protect yourself."
