I wonder if Mo Buckets is on the block. He'd be a solid backup center for some scoring.
Sacre and Kelly ?

107mph is pretty slow for a black hole, cops should have given him a pass.

PHI will reportedly waive Wallace. He'd have been a great fit 3 or 4 years ago.

Thompson is a capable backup Big while Wallace is done or close to done.
This season, the Warriors will be paying Thompson less than half of what they would have been paying Lee, so a series of smart trades by their FO.
Oh, and they didn't have to include H Barnes as some here expected they would have to do.

I was more than a little surprised to see someone actually take Lee on without any incentive. Ainge is the wet blanket I guess..

Boston already had over $10 million in Dead Money tied up with Wallace's contract. Paying a somewhat usable Lee $5.4 million ($15.5 million - $10.1 million) isn't terrible for Boston. Not great for Boston, but at least somewhat decent.

Remember that Bird said that the Pacers were going to speed things up this season and play at a faster tempo!

Not saying Hill shouldn't be punished but if you're on a rural stretch of interstate with no other traffic around who amongst us hasn't punched it?

Wow, I'm glad they arrested him. Dude is lucky he didn't kill some poor family. Deserves jail time IMO. _________________ “It took many years of vomiting up all the filth I’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before I was able to walk on the earth as though I had a right to be here.”

After watching the video, I'd assume there was a reckless driving charge attached. _________________ “It took many years of vomiting up all the filth I’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before I was able to walk on the earth as though I had a right to be here.”

I read that Phil might gamble on bringing back Sasha Vujacic and Andrew Bynum to the Knicks.
If they can contribute just a little bit, you already have a Superstar in the making in Porzingis IMO, Melo staying healthy this season hopefully.....

The Knicks signed Shannon Brown and Lamar Odom last year to their team I believe to teach the Triangle before cutting both of them. I wonder if Sasha will have a more prominent role on the Knicks compared to those two last year. On another note...
