For the haters, yeah thats you @mariner4life 😉
if only San Antonio could have orchestrated a trade to the Celtics. And then got the Sixers to come too. And the Heat a year later.

Me or him? 😎
Amazing the shit that Russell endured off the court. Imagine winning 11 fucking titles for your city, being the best team mate ever , a total stand-up guy, and still copping racial abuse on the streets?

also, how are you amazed about racism in America? Consider what it's like now and then extrapolate that to Russell's time

Not amazed atvthe racism as such, more find it hard to fathom how you could give your all like that and care so much, despite that sort of treatment. Apparently to this day he has no love for the city

@mariner4life well you're too fucking depressing for a Friday night! Let's get back to talking about Lebrons greatness.

Let’s not!
On the Wall and Westbrook trade, this is the modern day NBA when two teams have to trade an all-star for another all-star, both on ridiculous contracts, to keep another all-star at their respective teams. Doesn’t make a lot of sense!
The Wall-Westbrook Trade Was an Act of Total Desperation
The Wizards and Rockets had no choice but to unload their overpriced stars in an attempt to keep their real franchise stars. It’s a last-ditch attempt for both teams to salvage their current cores.

I reckon Wall’s contract was worst than Russ’ so does that mean Washington did better for unloading it (somewhat)....

And Wall has been injured for 2 years

A fascinating read:
The Pelicans and Thunder are 'shorting' other franchises' futures
If a deal has to be made in the NBA these days, the bet is that a team can't stay good forever.

Wow Ball Jnr with some amazing assists. I can't wait to see his stat lines throughout the season gonna be some mind blowing stats both good and bad. I think today was 0pts 4 assists 4 turnovers 10boards in 16 min (of a preseason which I know means nothing)

Giannis will stay in Milwaukee
Giannis, Bucks reach $228M supermax extension
Two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo has signed a five-year, $228 million supermax extension with the Milwaukee Bucks, his agent told ESPN.
The whole of Wisconsin will breathe a sigh of relief, good on him for bucking the trend and staying with his team

Doesn't mean he is actually staying long term though, just means now they can actually look for trade destinations for him.

Nah, they have him for 4 years, this ain't football. Or if he later on agitated for a trade they will at least be in a position to get something back, until his year 4 player option

My point is that having him contracted makes him more valuable as a trade asset, as any team taking him knows that they get him for 4 years, not just the remaining 1 year on his old deal. He's no longer a flight risk, and that means you are willing to pay more to get him.
Does he want to be traded? I honestly don't think so, he seems like he wants to stay from all his public noise. Be interesting to see what the Bucks do though if they fall flay in the playoffs again
