Didn't know there was tanking in the NBA. It's useless to tank because the lottery means you're not guaranteed the top pick.

The NFL should do the same for the top three picks as well.
That doesn’t stop teams from doing it. In the NBA, it’s always said you either want to be elite and contending for a title or tanking and trying to build a contender with potential stars in the draft. Being stuck in the middle is the worst place to be unless you are a rising young team.

They just shipped Kyrie to Dallas. I don’t think it’s going to work with two ball dominant guards and one of them being AB level nutcase. But I don’t blame the Mavericks for trying, they’ve done a pathetic job getting players around Luka.

Congrats to LeBron on the scoring record. It’s crazy to see two GOATs like Brady and LeBron redefine excellence in their sports around the same time.

The fact Lebrón is All-Time #1 in scoring & #4 in Assists is simply dumb. The man more than lived up to all the hype.

He's been amazing on and off the court. The biggest knock on him was the televised "decision" Being in the spotlight for literally 25 years and beating expectations, that dude is incredible.

His political opinions get derided by both sides (on China, etc), but he’s basically been flawless off the court. No doubt about it.

This week Rich Eisen wondered aloud if Lebrón would decide to run for office in his next career. I don’t see it, but I will say he has been so damn spotless that it might work.

This is wild. I thought the Kyrie trade would be the news of the week, but nope! Do you think the Suns go to the Finals?

Depends on their health. If fully healthy, yes, they win the West. I have no confidence they'll stay healthy, though.

The Nets were a guarantee as well. At this point KD has to prove he can remain healthy.

Magic vs Celtics would be a barn burner. It's amazing what they're doing when they're not running the NBA's premier injury hustle scheme. At one point they had like 75 more man games lost than the nearest team

He’s been playing for a few weeks now. He’s on a minute restriction but looks good all things considered.

He’s played in 8 games so far giving the Magic 5 points and 3 rebounds a game in 10 minutes per. His defense looks as good as ever, he looks like a key bench piece once they lift the minutes restriction.

Westbrook is going to the Clippers in an attempt to get back at the Lakers. Honestly, the NBA truly is a soap opera for men.

Cant deny I enjoy it though.

...more like "give back" to them. He turns the ball over like it's a hot potato.

Jonathan Isaac once again having season ending surgery. I think this is the last straw for me, I’m tired of waiting on this guy to get healthy. Magic need to move on.

God I know I asked you for a break in the lottery last year and it's because I didn't know Victor Wembenyama existed yet. I don't look beyond the current draft class. The Magic got a lucky bounce and had probably one of the best rookies in recent memory.

Let that back to back Magic happen just one more time. If Cleveland can win it a million times the Magic can once more

Looking at the lottery, there’s very few to no teams I would be upset if they won the lottery.

Gonna be fun.

Then yes, Lebron to Orlando. Because he's made it very public that he will spend his last years in the NBA playing alongside his son.
