@canefan maybe this is a controversial view, but do we really think he should be banned for life, completely cancelled? I don't have access to all the detail of the accusations, and I don't want to diminish his actions, but he doesn't seem to be in the same league as Sterling. $10m and a 1yr ban isn't nothing!

@Magpie_in_aus I read Sohi's piece on the Ringer, was pretty disappointed to be honest. Is this better?
@voodoo not sure I can't read....more just interesting as I had no context. A few high horse things from them but sober sounds like a right creep.
-
Sarver gooone. The fans will be happy because I read that they hate him for mismanaging the team all these years
-
JJ reddick just did a long form interview with Ben Simmons. Be interesting lesson (hopefully) tomorrow. Or he could just disappear for the majority of the interview
-
It's all happening today...

@voodoo had a relationship with a staff member of the organisation. According to reports it was a consensual relationship, but the policy is that they can’t have relationships.
Why suspend him? Either fire him or just get on with it.

@mariner4life I think most of the NBA fan world is just realising that Udoka’s partner is/was actress Nia Long and everyone is like, what the hell bro?

Ok basketball nerds, you will be better judges than me, highlight package looks like a cheat code (but I am no expert)
..supposedly the next big thing with teams already rumoured to be tanking this season to pick him up...
whats your thoughts? is Victor Wembanyana the real deal?

@bayimports dunno yet
certainly looks like it. But then watching Zion Williamson in college it looked like he would dominate too, and he can't stay on the court. Will that lanky streak of piss stay healthy? Can he handle being bodied by other freak NBA athletes?
That length and those ball skills does look like another Kevin Durant. And KD is really fucking good.

Like that guy OKC drafted this year. Looks like he'd blow away in a decent wind and already succumbed to a season ending injury in preseason

Here is a good summary from my favourite basketball YouTube on Victor.

@bayimports I think a season in pro ball in France will be good for him (and probably better than playing college, given his prospects for next years draft).
I watched that game and I don’t think he is like KD. When KD was playing for Uni of Texas, he had that edge in his game and mentality. Bought that to his first season with Seattle and the rest is history. The kid has talent but so many dudes do. It will be his mentality and so let’s see what happens in the French league.
-
And Draymond

I'm pretty high on the kid having not seen much footage. He looks like he moves really well. Of that shot is genuine he could be KD-like, but he also looks like he runs like Giannis - if he fills out he could be anything.
Playing against grown men will be a step up for sure, but wow, what physical gifts
