Likely lottery pick Fox also rips the Balls.

He makes a REALLY good point about Lavar's big mouth equaling trouble for Lonzo. Every NBA player out there will want to embarrass him.

Cavs fire their GM and are trying to land Butler (with George as a backup plan?)

It'll involve dumping Love, which I believe is a huge mistake. That's a lot of points and rebounds you're giving up. Meanwhile, there's $80 million Tristan Thompson sitting there with his one dimensional game and a Kardashian on his lap trying to get pregnant.

Salary cap rises by less than expected.

They blame fewer playoff games, but make note that original expectations had it much higher. The next TV deal, once ESPN can get out of the shitty albatross they have now, will be very interesting. The NBA needs teams to come out of this draft competitive because they can't sell networks on the Cavs and Warriors and nobody else anyone tunes in to watch.

Spurs shopping Aldridge.

Get rid of the draft.

This is stupid. This is "me me me" bullshit. You want to kill the NBA? Get rid of the draft. We'll see if the last 8 teams standing make for an interesting league.

Jimmy Butler just got traded to the Timberwolves. Bucks.

Malcolm might actually have a professional team that matters next year. Nope.

ESPN goofed on one of their graphics last night. Butler did go to the Timberwolves, so Malcolm will have a professional team to root for next year.

Combined with Wiggy and KA, we might finish as high as 4th in the div next year.

If the T-Wolves land him, I might start watching games.

I could 100% see this as a way for Adam Silver to silently "fix" the problem of super teams.

Plus, it avoids the articles that will be written next year when the Cavs fail to make a move and Boston doesn't land Hayward and George, which would mean nobody got better, so why bother playing the season?

The league would immediately be "level" again (for the big market teams).

Phil Jackson fired.

He did nothing but hurt his own legacy.

The internet is having fun at his expense.
