You don’t need to be cute with the Anthony Edwards’s excuses. No way he getting the same development with a star ball handler on the team already.

Another thing about the Warriors not trading for the #1 pick that people forget is that he'd have a VERY different role with us. He wouldn't have immediately been handed the starting spot and the keys here, which means he wouldn't have developed as fast. Would he have still become this guy? Sure, maybe, but it's not a guarantee. You change the situation you change the development.

It will be interesting to see what the viewership numbers are going to be for each of these series. Minnesota and OKC are both small market teams but have arguably the most staying power based on the youth on their team. Do you have any thoughts on potentially the end of Inside The NBA with Shaq, Chuck, Kenny and EJ? NBC could potentially outbid Turner for that final slot. I also think there's an argument to resign Kuminga now because the free agent landscape will reset once the new TV deals are announced.

You think Jokic's legacy takes a hit if they get swept here?

If Bron and Dlo leave, is there a chance we could get AD from a rebuilding Lakers? Ik he's old and made of glass, but I feel like we have to take major risks to have a chance in this west the next 1-2 years.
Drake v Kdot, I actually agree with you meet the grahams wasn't all that for me. I feel like if you come with allegations that wild you need concrete receipts. If drake did feed the daughter shit and he bit on it, that kind of overshadows the whole song for me. Not like us a banger though.

You're not alone Alch, doubt there are many people outside of NY that like watching Brunson-ball

I respect the MTG take but I feel like even if it didn't hit, the strategic move of dropping half an hour after Family Matters and sucking all the air out of it kinda ended it. Family Matters was like the Lakers emptying their gas tank in Game 2 and still losing on a buzzer beater in Denver

Talent is but it can be more about opportunity. We’ve seen ANT in the last few playoffs take and miss critical clutch shots with KAT on the floor. We’ve literally seen him work through his mistakes. How would Kerr and the championship pressure and Vets handle that? It would’ve been ugly in my opinion

Budden doing a good breakdown of it listening now.. he saying the same thing basically, the industry is tired of Drake, there is more than just Kendrick behind this. Not like us no doubt the hardest track aint nothing like a real west coast diss record. But Meet the Grahams didn't move me at all.

I have grown tired of watching hero ball, and I can't watch Brunson.
Luka is the biggest ball hog we've seen recently. We know the others around the league as well.
The knicks got hit with a $350k fine for tampering to get Brunson. So, basically the NBA has communicated that any team can pay their way into the post season. And, somehow this dude's father is not banned from coach. I'm baffled fam.

I disagree with you heavily on the beef. Kendrick bodied Drake. 3-1 on the songs. The heart 6 was trash.
Look I like some of Drake songs. But Kendrick is just another tier of creativity and lyricism

Basketball wise though rooting hard for a SGA-Ant WCF. Little moment earlier this year where Ant was basically complaining about SGA's whistle after a regular season game and SGA had a lil IG caption in response. I feel like Ant's the charismatic marketable one so he's got all the media attention as the next superstar, but SGA is right there with him. Feels like a budding Kobe-LeBron rivalry

Idk Alch Heart Part 6 as a top track in this beef? Drake sounded like he'd been up for 2 nights stressing to put together a PR statement 😂 hard to believe he didn't have any receipts of setting Kendrick up with false info when he spent all that time and money putting together a mini doc for Family Matters.
I think once Drake dropped the "bomb" in Family Matters and Kendrick sucked all the air out of it with Meet the Grahams that was checkmate. Drake emptied the clip and it didn't work. Family Matters probably squashes out a guy like Meek or Pusha T but Kendrick played it perfectly and it seemed like he really did have a mole in OVO. Then Not Like Us was basically the real "Back to Back" that killed Drake, and beat him at his own game basically giving us an anthem to bump all summer.
I think Drake just made too many strategic errors and tried to big bro a guy that was on his level in terms of fanbase, and a level above him in actual lyricism. Some of his shit was coming off real tone deaf (the free the slaves line, mentioning Millie Bobby Brown, "I'm too famous to be a pedo", incorrectly saying Kendrick was molested).
I'm probably in too deep but it's fr like breaking down how a war happened in history class in high school 😂

A little soon but looking forward to this ANT and Curry pairing in the Olympics.
Also with Kerr and Curry, Ant wouldn’t be the same on this team. No way he’s embraced as the leader this early.

If we drafted ANT, he’d be coming off the bench today sub in for Podz. We’re acting like Kerr didn’t bench him for Reeves like a year ago. This fantasy has to end.
