So, when's Dwight's jersey retirement?

8 seasons (double Shaq's)
6 All-Stars
3x DPOY (only 3-time consecutive winner, although others do have 3 or 4)
MVP finishes: 5, 4, 4, 2 (the controversial Derrick Rose year), 7
1 Finals appearance (went through Boston and Cleveland to get there)
Durability: missed only 7 games out of seven 82-game seasons

How many years you gotta be retired to be eligible??

Dwight got the LGBTQ card in his back pocket if they try and do him dirty though.

Beal got hurt again? wtf

I admire the ambition.

Pelinka gonna pay the favor back when he asks for Steph in the summer.

Bron don’t care about winning

 

[g-time]

Bron don’t care about winning

That roster would be better than LA’s after that trade?

 

[pmatic]

Curious who the Warriors would've put on the table had Bron been interested in getting traded.

Assuming you keeping Kuminga, yes

 

[nick.]

After seeing James' cryptic social media post of an hourglass a week before the trade deadline, Philadelphia 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey called Pelinka to probe on a James trade and was immediately told that James wasn't available. In fact, Pelinka responded by asking Morey if Joel Embiid was available, sources said. And that ended that brief conversation. These sorts of bold trade calls are historically a common practice for Morey, who also called the Phoenix Suns and asked about a trade for Durant prior to the deadline, sources said. When told no, Morey then asked about the availability of Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, too. Unsurprisingly, those were nos as well, sources said.

Give credit where it’s due. Doesn’t hurt to ask

 

[g-time]

Assuming you keeping Kuminga, yes

I would believe Kuminga would have to be in the trade.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Closed mouths don’t get fed.

Again, wouldn’t mind another asterisk run for Bron & GSW.

Even better storytelling if they join forces & lose to the Suns next szn.

 

[pmatic]

Assuming you keeping Kuminga, yes

Kuminga definitely would've been in the trade.

I'm guessing Klay and Kuminga or a combo of Wiggins, Kuminga, GP2 and Looney.

Edit:

Maybe this explains Klay being extra introspective lately.

Bron don’t care about winning

Bron the definition of winning.

 

[D StaXX]

League is ****** when Bron and Steph team up. Everybody dead on sight.

[antidope]

Only a matter of time.

Why would he accept a trade to Golden State when he’s gonna end up in Dallas with Ky and Luka?
