Embiid should be among the MVP candidates the way he and the 76ers are playing. Also if there is something different of this season Lakers is their will, last season they would had folded by halftime
Quality daily reports – love the show.
Don't go over the cap then. Fair is a place where they judge pigs. Klay would not have gotten signed for max if he were in the NFL.
Double upload day, love to see it 🤝🏾
At the beginning of the season, Warriors starters were playing great while the bench was non-existent. Now, it's in the reverse where the bench unit is awesome while the starters are stinking it up. They just need to get it together where both are playing well and they should be alright.
I've been clowning on the Nets chances since KD got injured, but if Kyrie is gonna play like this until he gets back I've gotta give him respect. I didn't expect him to be able to carry the team this well.
You can resign your drafted players over the cap…
Kawhi 🖖🏾🔵🔴 is goated when healthy he look good so far
Clippers in 6 vs any team in the NBA 🤷🏽♂️
What blazers gave away powell and covington for is ridicolous
Those owners can pay their rookies. Nobody is getting squeezed. They just have to pay the TAX and be "SMART like the Warriors"
can you come work for the suns plz
If its the same rules for everyone then it's fair. I guess here the question would be, if the supermax was designed to encourage players to stay with their teams longer, and the idea behind that being we want teams to retain their best players and also discourage if not player then star player movements, then the League is still happy. Golden is happy too(if we fans say we not we lying, we got happiness for decades)
How can you circumvent the luxury tax, when these dynastic teams have their “home grown” talent with the ability to raise their salaries higher than any other team?
The only reason teams have to overpay…is because players over preform.
Imagine the 60s Celtics with a salary cap.
You think they would have had the same run with all that talent?
The luxury tax has not backfired though. It’s kept the competition from going out of whack entirely.
TWO THINGS CAN BE TRUE. 1. CURRY BEST Pg of all time (debatable) 2. When it comes to 1 on 1 NOT 5 on 5. KYRIE IRVING is better than CURRY. Its been proving year after year when they go against Each other.
Lmao we all know OKC ain’t paying no tax😂
As a warriors fan,… I’ve seen enough. We HAVE to press the panic button. We’re missing play offs and we are wasting the final 2 prime remaining years of our trio.
I don’t get why you think the warriors are a top team? Before curry was injured they were like 1-13 on the road and you still think they are a threat. A play off series includes road games, unless they can get the number 1 spot in the nba they most probably have 4 away games
If the Lakers make a run when AD come and the Lakers get to a top 5 seed, Bron winning mvp
Watching that warriors game you missed klay going 4/17 on fg attempts and some of those were smoking layups. If he makes a few more of those shots the game could of been different. But also he was guarding kyrie and that man was giving him trouble. No excuses though they blew the game in the 4th as a team

Clippers were still favored for a reason.
Couldn’t disagree more on luxury tax but I’m also from small market cheap owner team 😅. I see what you mean though.
Luxury tax should definitely not apply to players the team drafted at a minimum.
His dog tho! 😭 ❤️ 🐶
love the show and mate your puppy is too cute!
warriors starter plays trash!
It looks like stars have finally aligned for em 2020 contenders: Lakers Nets Clips😂
Kyrie is trash, that's why Boston didn't want him. O'neal got lucky with the three. Warriors in 5.
