Doubt Kyrie will leave, all he said was that he won't sign an extension because it doesn't make sense. He can make more money as a free agent. Salary cap will most likely rise again in 2019 thus a higher max.
 
The day after the tragic death of Tyler Honeycutt, his mother, Lisa Stazel, is convinced that he was shot dead by the police, as she tells to Israeli Sport5.

She described the events before the police’s involvement: “He planned to go and get help that day, but then he started to get so upset and I could not understand him. He really wanted to go back to the NBA, and he had an agreement to play in the summer league for Oklahoma, but they got the MRI tests and he had a knee problem. It was a huge disappointment for him. I told him that if he started to act aggressively I had to involve the police. So I called the police and they came and killed my child. They tried to tell me he shot himself. He was depressed and he assured me that he would never hurt himself because he knew it would hurt me, he promised me that”.


“He did not shoot at them, he just shot in the air through the window, not at all in their direction, and that’s because he was in a panic and he was very scared. It was not a case of an attempt to calm the situation. The police moved 30 vehicles and put three helicopters into the air, all against one frightened child”, she recalls.

Honeycutt’s mother is convinced that Tyler did not put an end to his life and explains: “It’s a pretty big house, and after it was all over I saw blood all along the corridor, smeared on the walls, and traces of blood to the closet in his bedroom. He didn’t shoot himself. If you shoot yourself, you usually die on the spot, you do not go from room to room like that. I believe that one of the policemen shot him through one of the windows”.

“When they took his body out I begged them to let me see it, but they told me, ‘Madam, you do not want to see him like that,'” she says, “so I do not even know what part of his body he was shot at. And he crawled to the closet in the bedroom in an attempt to defend himself, where he bled to death, and he took all the furniture in the area and put it to the door to protect himself. They tell me that it will take them up to ten months to complete the investigation. But how can I trust them that they will tell the truth”.

:smh: **** real out here
 
Being in Vegas since Thursday and at Summer League every day I’ve seen just about every single NBA player, coach, executive, analyst possible.

The one team I’ve seen like zero representation from their entire coaching staff and their front office and main players on the team? The Sixers.

The Sixers odds to land Kawhi also jumped yesterday from +200 to -250.

Something’s gotta be brewing.

It may mean that we are landing Leonard, or that we are singing an actual GM.

It will be interesting to see a Leonard trade THEN hiring a GM. All the GM needs to do would be to fill the gap. I am not a big fan of this situation but it is what it is. The biggest offseason in the entire process era and have no GM. The only silver lining is that Brown may be the closest "GM" to stay true to Hinkie's vision than anyone else we may hire.

I don't think they make a trade as big as that one without having a GM in place unless it is a no brainer. From what it sounds like the spurs are asking, I doubt that happens right now.
 
I will be content with whatever direction is taken with Leonard. Status quo still puts the Sixers in a healthy position, we may not be favs next year, but we will have improved stars, maybe a #1 pick Fultz, and a gazillion expiring contracts, so we still have all the flexibility in the world.

I just don't want to make a move for the sake of a move, like a trade for Butler, or even worse, Melo.

I think Brown the team understands that and will make the right decisions.
 


Bro KILLED that **** :pimp:

if the wnba is making the nba lose money why do they still have it around?

it has to be making them money no?
 
Is viewership and interest worst than it's ever been? Why are people clowning the WNBA all the time now?

Would guess it's a trickle down play to get more young girls playing basketball and, in turn, watching the NBA.

There's no way that league itself makes money right now.
