Actually think there's a higher chance of it happening than not.

If Wade retires or leaves the team sure, I don't see all three taking another paycut..

Durants is particular interesting though, you can feel the antagonism in his soul..I cant put a word on how he can across there, but it wasnt happy go lucky KD thats for sure.

My fav part is the praise he gave Kevin Ollie at 7:45  

honestly if Brooks got canned I'm pretty sure he'd campaign to get KO as coach.

but yeah it kinda seemed to me like he doesn't particularly like Bill Simmons, but maybe he just was too tired to gaf


also "The Servant" sucks as a nickname, just no

Yeah, dont think he likes Simmons..or at least his questions.

The Servant is awful To me that was part of his demeanour which seems different, dark almost.

Kings offer Thomas, McLemore and 2 draft picks for Rondo.

Pretty good offer IMO. Pull on it C's.

Was anyone else shocked that KD didn't say he is gods servant as well? Anyway, there was something off about the interview, although it didn't help when Simmons kept asking the same question over and over and over. I recall him saying he was running on two hours of sleep, so maybe he wasn't all there. I also felt like KD contradicted himself by attempting to give himself a nickname. Simmons then said he thought everyone should do it (make their own nickname) and KD said "isn't that a little arrogant". So he is either getting a little arrogant (not necessarily a bad thing), or he is really just in need of sleep.

Pacers 11-8 vs winning teams. Hmmmm.

They should of lost to the Knicks and Kings on the road but were saved by two very late 4 point plays by George, and Portland choked away the game the other day... They won't finish with the #1 seed

Lin, Asik for Bargiani, Shumpert and Felton.

Rockets get a perimeter defender, and a stretch 4 and a backup PG..Salaries match and both teams get better.. lmo. Then we flip Chandler for a young forward.. Like to the GSW for Harrison Barnes, or maybe a PF..

Please do something like this knicks.. Would get younger/better and more primed for a rebuild

Is it me or is Melo a bit on the chubby side? Think he'd benefit greatly if he dropped his body fat percentage a bit.

Been like that for years.. My friend calls him Carjello

I see Jabari Parker having the same problem, even worse tbh.. Melo was fit at Syracuse at least

My boy Lebron means business. Expect a huge game from him against OKC.


The Servant is getting worried

The Servant???? Really?

Just horrible.

Anyway, I don't get KD having a chip on his shoulder, I really don't. Sure, he's tired of being '2nd' but the way he is acting, talking etc, you would think that he never received any sort of praise in his entire NBA career.
You would think that him and Westbrook had switched bodies....

Looks a bit hashed to me......

Nets traded Reggie Evans and Terry to the Kings for Thornton

way better than Terry but I think they'll miss Evans' rebounding off the bench.

Kings did it cause they actually save money, despite the fact that Terry is making 5m this and next year   

Had no idea Thornton was getting paid so much, 2 years 17mil

Kevin Durant: "I was just joking around with the Servant thing". Said to call him Kevin or KD.

Skip said he thought for a moment "the servant" was a subtle diss to Lebron's being "the king"..triggered by Lebron saying KD will have to wait till he retires before concerning himself with rings.

I hadnt thought of that tbh

I dont think its true anyway, but I do think its about time they both just accepted the rivalry that HAS to exist between them. Perhaps KD will finally seeing that working out together buddy buddy stuff was lame and doing nothing for him.

Nothing wrong with hating the guy that's in your way, they all did it, even the closest of friends became enemies for it.

That comment has been taken out of context, he never said it that way..

'When does he think the pressure will truly shift to Durant to take the Larry O'Brien trophy?

"When I retire," James replied. "When I retire. They're still talking about, am I going to win a third? You know..."

James was smiling as he said this, a sandwich resting on his lap, his knees cooling in ice.'

This is true though, all the pressure has been on LeBron while KD has slid under the radar.. I would like to see how he handles the pressure, when it comes

I dont know, I didnt read the comment. I barely muster up enough will to care...but the overall bigger thing for me is there to be some level of rivalry, thats good for the game IMO.

Anway, the reason the pressure has not been on KD is he has

A. Yet to truely underachieve by losing when he should win
B. Is still only in his 5th (?) season.

When he stinks it up and loses a series he was supposed to win, or he gets up there in age...it will come, it always does.


BTW, I just got to thinking about the Pacers record vs good teams. Does it even matter?

We all know it will be them and the Heat in the East final. And we all know they and the Heat are quite even.

So, what relevance is there that they lost twice to the Suns? The best team they will play before the Heat will be...the Wizards? :lol?

Think Durant is in his 7th season. He was drafted in 07 iirc.

McAgger wrote:Think Durant is in his 7th season. He was drafted in 07 iirc.

I was just about to say this. Lebron left Cleveland after his 7th season. In other words, he was under pressure to win at least by his 4th year(after he took the Cavs to the finals).

Truth is, Durant doesn't have pressure on him to win mainly because Lebron is still around. They're always gonna make everything about Lebron. I've never heard the word "legacy" being used with Durant, yet they've been using that word with Lebron since like 07.

Imagine that OKC win the title this year, they'll make the headlines more about how Lebron LOST it than how Durant WON it.

Finally our bench looks like it can compete. We got Blake from the Lakers for Brooks and Bazemore.

Steve Blake
Jordan Crawford
Harrison Barnes
Draymond Green
Jermaine O'Neal
Marreese Speights
Festus Ezeli

Looks good to me. Finally got a point guard that can actually play a little. Got scoring from Crawford and Barnes. Got a good amount of bigs that bring different things to the team (offense, defense, rebounding, energy).

Sacre and Bazemore on the same bench?



I would have been interested to see what you were getting from Cleveland for Barnes. Probably Deng, which would have been a no go, although, if they offered a pick I might have bitten.

No deals at the deadline for the knicks.

SMFH. A team with a 90m payroll thats 12 games under .500 with a star player that hits FA this offseason does nothing.

Team is a pathetic joke.

Indiana has traded Danny Granger to Philadelphia, league source tells Yahoo Sports. boom

Indiana has traded Danny Granger to the 76ers for Evan Turner and Lavoy Allen, league sources tell Yahoo.

Larry Bird

Evan Turner for Granger.... i like that.

I wanted those Rondo to Rockets rumors to be true

Damn Rondo would've made Houston a legit contender right away.
