~O~

This trade makes my stomach turn for both teams.

Its not overblown at all. It's an exasperated reality of despair. They'll make money but there is a substantial gain on the sole dependance of location. Since we're dealing with young adults in their prime of their lives that play in the nba, theyll most likely want to meet the highest quality of people in their age group at their ladder of wealth and have the best of time doing it around people of equal wealth. California, New York City, and Miami are the best of the best places to be as superficial as you like while overcompensating in front of your other superficial friends. I can go deeper into the ruler measuring contest that goes on every day america but hey! It's perfect! Dallas Houston and Chicago are other options but still other options but not as good as those three. I mean..you want people to see you get *****es than them, you have to go to those three.

I am excellent at reading. Dude does not want to play here. It would be low to him.

Dude, sometimes things are as easy as body language or a laugh at our cuteness. Westbrook think's we're cute. Just think about his lifestyle and who he associates with. He can't live that in Orlando or perceives Orlando like a place worthy of his presence. Terrence Ross loves it here. He's at Disney Springs every weekend. Vucevic was a painful...inevitable consequence. I read your statement as "Hey...we made a terrible decisions. Might as well go all in and make another terrible decision." Resistance is futile. We're doomed to fail.

Are there no other options...other than..Derozan? Please.....basketball gods..spare us from any trade regarding this player.

"He doesn’t like to lose to a team he felt like he should be beat?" No no no. He doesn't like to lose to a team he doesn't respect. Russell Westbrook doesn't respect us the same way LeBron didn't respect our organization and team early in his career. You can add Mo Williams to that too. They felt losing to the Magic was beneath them. The same way D wade thought we were cute. There's plenty of players that I could compose a list of that would come out and definitely play their hardest not to lose to us because it beneath them. Does Charlotte come to mind? Its been signaled in multiple match ups that he has no respect. Some players see our team as a death sentence for their career or simple retirement. We still have a perception of ongoing failure throughout the world...that is..if we're relevant enough to be remember more than Magic Johnson. With the stomach churning extension of Vucevic, do you want to make this worse?...with a player who doesn't want to play for us and...wants to only play for his stats? He'd be more focused on getting the ***** outta here than the season.

Westbrook doesn't want to play for us. I remember about 2 years ago when he was absolutely embarrassed from losing to this team. He felt like it was a low point. There's a video of him just sitting down and staring off in the distance after he lost to us. Westbrook has no respect for this organization. It would feel like an Ibaka, Mobley, Christie situation. Please just write it off guys.

Its a beautiful morning..when the Lakers fail.

Literally my random thoughts everyday regarding the NBA.

This is why I feel the NBA is broken. There's too much advantage to players going to California over any other state. The media, most of all, will completely protect you or destroy you if you're in the West. Regardless. The league is done for. Golden State was just the start. No...the Heat...was the start. No...the LAKERS.....truly truly was the start. The showtime..media darling Lakers. Acquiring a franchise player in free agency isn't even a dream anymore. Its impossible. It not something the Orlando Magic could ever do...EVER. Not now. Not in the future. The league probably should have all their teams based in just California if this is going to be the fate of the league. The Los Angeles Magic. Oh *****ing well. The players and the owners are ruining the purity of the association. The media and players are the invisible hand pressuring and tampering with the product. Its too exacerbated and conspicuous. This: Possibly offering a 90 million contract to Vucevic in despair and hopelessness is the prelude. It could even serve as the outro. The album was terrible. We should gain more respect for players that stay with their franchise and don't cahoot behind the scenes to join one another by ruining the competition of the league. Its too bad their going to continuously lose and the Lakers and the LeBron individually will DESERVE*** all future titles.

Awwwwwh.........***** meee. Just when things were progressing.

The league is broken...probably too broken. The fact that the league priority of players is to go to Los Angeles creates an overwhelming flaw. Western teams have too much of an advantage.

Gross.

Klay tore his acl per adrian woj

Why does this feel so anticlimactic.

Cousins and Draymond arent all stars. They're former allstars. People have been playing this false statement season on YouTube, reddit, etc. Dont play this card. Its foolish and moving the goal post.

Klay was not going home if Danny didnt end the series. Its great to see a new champ but..it was sort pitiful how the injuries ultimately decided the series. Curry being triple teamed ultimately was inevitable. And still.. They were still in the game...despite all the odds.

Shame. What a dude. We won't be seeing Kevin Durant for about a year and half. Probably even two years. He won't play next season. Bless the dude.

Looking at the first quarter...the Warriors had the Raptors shook. The play before, Kevin Durant go into it with VanVleet. The next play down on offense he injures himself. Kevin Durant had his rhythm and everything. The Warriors looked very confident. To me.....Kevin Durant can't win with the media so ***** em. ***** em all. ***** the Toronto Raptors fans for waving him away cause they obvious knew he went down injured. They just proved how deserving they were of that title. If Kevin Durant..coming..back...putting his body...money....legacy...on the line to play for his brothers one more time doesn't prove who he is, I don't know what else he can do to prove that he is a Warrior. Props for Curry, Klay, Draymond and Iggy for playing the best defense they could on Kawhi during that 2:30 stretch that they possibly could. They played the defense of their life..on the guy and he gave the ball up countless times. After that outburst by Kawhi, I thought they were done. I really did.

All I have to say is that the Warriors have been broken tonight by 2014 Green...and MVP Leonard. The injuries hit them at a tough time where they didn't have a consistent lineup game to game. Its unfortunate they faced the Raptors....the only basketball team Canada has. Its basically international game. Canada vs. USA. There's not enough Warriors fans to make up for a country. Kawhi Leonard is absolutely resilient. The Raptors lulled the Warriors into that regular season false sense of security they've gotten into. They've gotten comfortable from playing from behind and the fact that they couldn't come back against the Raptors..broke them.

Well...i think Kawhi might be the most underrated player in NBA history. This was the best matchup I've seen of Goliaths. Kawhi Blocks giannis.......Giannis Blocks Kawhi. Kawhi Dunks on giannis. Giannis dunks on Kawhi. Sheesh. Brutal series.

It's so refreshing to see the league finally saved from that toxic, synthetic, exasperated, I hope the Lakers miss the playoffs again next season. I dont think they will but it would be great for the rest of authentic NBA if they did. I love seeing the east being strong this season. I just wish it was last year that this happened. Its bitter that the east didnt eliminate lebron but it is sweet that he didnt make the west playoffs.

Bucks....the biggest sneak attack in the history of the NBA.

Its too late for Mike Conley...that ship has sailed. We wanted Mike Conley a decade ago...and we shouldn't get him at the end of his career.

No man. Endgame's suspense was outstanding. Especially in the last major scene. It made a scene in age of ultron make even more sense. Infinity War was Superb.....extremely unexpected ending and movie of the year..eclipsing Black Panther..but I didn't expect Marvel to come out shooting nukes with Endgame.
