Wiggins, Warriors agree to 4-year, $109M deal
Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins has agreed to a four-year, $109 million extension, his agents told ESPN.
Should have been an easy decision for Wiggins. After his Minny experience, I'm sure he must love being a contributor as their third option on a perennial championship contender who play a fun style

and the season is now basically upon us
As usual, the West will be a bloodbath. The Warriors already exist, and should be actually getting better. The Clippers are back. Denver get two important players back. The younger teams from last year's playoffs will go again. The Suns you would think drop away this year, too much to deal with.
In the East Boston will want to go a step further, The Bucks will be at the pointy end. How do the Sixers hold up all year? Can Brooklyn make it work?
All i know is the Spurs are a lottery team. Expect some hard tanks this year.

The Lakers look like they'll be as much of a clown show as last year. Amazing to think how hard and unnecessarily they blew up the bubble championship team.

@TeWaio and loving every moment of it
I was a big Michigan fan during the Glen Rice era and Rob Pelinka was a good role player and tenacious, but he has cooked the golden goose at the Lakers.

if (and it's a massive if) LBJ and Davis can play 60 games each they'll make the playoffs.

I agree. Pat Bev for all his fuckwitness is a good addition too. Can shoot, defend, and plays hard.
And he takes minutes off Russ....

If Schroeder can be solid, that will be good too. But in reality AD is made of glass

Yeah, a lot depends on old peaheart AD. He could be such a weapon, at his best he's top 3 in the league at both ends. But he's mentally weak and notnthebvpdybis a bit fragile too. Shit combo
-
@voodoo Darvin Ham wants to play him at the 5 and AD wants to be a 4. I'd say he's more chance of packing the sads than playing 60 games...
I do like the Pat Bev addition. He's an old school baller with a bit of toughness. But him, LBJ and Russ on the court together is not going to work!

He’s out for 3-4 weeks to start the season.

Yeah. I guess he shares minutes with Pat Bev when he gets fit

opening day sees last years finalists get Ws to open the year
Laker fans have written this team off after 48 minutes. Some cracking social media spite (if you need evidence LBJ can still hustle, watch a Lakers fast break). Box scores okay for their big 3, but apparently defense and effort at zero.
Interesting today. The Spurs are getting flogged at home by a Hornets team without LaMelo, operation super tank is off to a flier. The Pelicans are smoking the Nets. Thus far everything else seems to be going to script.
let the loooong narrative-ridden odyssey begin

The Suns v Mavs game almost had a playoff feel to it and it was opening night.
Enjoyed the Knicks and Grizzlies game. Knicks played a mix of excellent and very frustrating ball. But I think there is more upside if they have that right mix of shooters and slashers on the court.
And that Banchero dunk

This Spurs tank job is going appallingly

I watched their game today. 76ers D was so bad the Spurs couldn't help but make shots. Management missed have been pissed.

They played very well today. Loved how they defended the two bigs for the T’Wolves. They are getting solid contributions from 4 or 5 guys every night. 5-2 and Pop looks refreshed!
Warriors second unit sucks.
Lakers finally get a W after some better outside shooting.
Donovan Mitchell is on a mini tear right now. The Cavs went 23-50 from 3 today. Kevin Love turning back the hands of time with a quiet 8 3s.

Kyrie just can't stop being a distraction off the court. And an ignorant one at that

Kyrie’s an egg.
That is my favourite Nets uniforms, takes me back to the Dr J days and also the Kenny Anderson and Derrick Coleman days.

Haha Nets win without Ben Simmons!
