That's a really odd thing to do for someone in his position.

I'm a big fan of the theory that Hinkie was the one who sent the initial tip since he's been involved in AI and machine learning.

I'm not sure what my favorite part of this story is. His defenses of his own collars, his dislike of Beyonce, the bizarre shirtless Embiid Tweet, there's just so much to choose from. I thought Colangelo was just a run-of-the-mill crappy GM benefiting from nepotism, but I was quite wrong.

I am not watching closely but on the score this morning they said Kahwai is in no way signing away free agency with whoever trades for him. Doesn’t that severely drop the trade price?

Looks like may be major players in the Kawhi sweepstakes. If S.A. is willing to take this package Philly had better move fast.

Better hope Leonard doesn't throw a fit over not being traded to L.A.

I'm not feeling the L.A. by James and Leonard. Are those surrounded by a bunch of unproven guys enough to contend in the West. Lebron makes Kawhi a worse player because he (Lebron) is quite possibly the most ball dominant guy in the league. L.A. also doesn't have any shooting on its roster. Lebron has to be surrounded by that.

Yes the first and second best player in the world are enough to contend in the West

Kawhi Leonard isn't the second best player in the world and You still have an aging Lebron James. Western Conf is a different animal. You aren't winning anything with just 2 guys. Sorry pal

He is. When healthy he was single handledly taking on and beating the Durant Warriors. Look it up.

Might need to pump the breaks a bit on Ben Simmons HOF induction. Was just listening to Joel Meyers on NBA radio and he was openly questioning Simmons' work ethic and his love of the game of basketball. Was wondering if Simmons has been in the gym at all working out this summer. Seems to be on TMZ every night.

This isn't the first time a red flag has popped up on Ben. At LSU, the whole team turned on him and wouldn''t even pass him the ball. At the time I blamed the team, thought they were jealous of Simmons' talent, but now looking back maybe there was more to it behind the scenes. Antonio Blackney was on that team and he was one of the guys who wouldn't give the ball to Simmons.



Last year watching him play something about his personality kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Couldn't really put a finger on it, but something about him seems "off".


Now to hear this about his work ethic and love of the game I'm wondering if this guy is ever going to reach his potential or develop a reliable jumper outside 3 feet. He was a total dud in the playoff series vs Boston, think he even had 1pt in the final game (or one of the games).



So before we start calling this guy the next great one, let's pump the breaks a bit and see if he shows any improvement this year.

Blasphemer

I'm not bitter...seeing a Pro team tank and not be any better makes me bitter....if you think they have better young talent than the T Wolves you are wrong...and even in your convoluted mind they are I don't see them contending for a long time....I'm not bitter I'm realistic

This is one of Walt's original statements on the matter. This is of course before all of the numerous backpedals and revisions started occurring.

I'd need clearly defined parameters. "Better" is ambiguous.

define them .….see if I agree

Zhaire Smith breaks foot ….the process works draft guys #1 and they don't play for you...brilliant!

I'm sure you posted something prior to today about how much Philly was counting on him. Didn't know that their future was contingent upon the health of Zhaire Smith. Thanks for the update though.
