I don’t know if this is true or not but I just heard the Philly owners put up 5000 seats to be sold knowing they could have made a profit from New Yorkers instead of having Philly fans go.

If Frank is going to be your head coach you need strong leadership in the locker room. Frank isn't a "throw chairs and yell" type of coach.

I understand you have an intense infatuation with Lebron James but I’ve never solely blamed Lebron for the Lakers troubles. The Lebron and KD comparison isn’t close to the same. Lebron came to the Lakers and begged for AD. KD got traded to the Suns and has zero to do with the roster.
What I’ve said is his performance at 39 is incredible but his defense stinks and his constant blaming of refs doesn’t help.
Never have I said the the major problem for the Lakers is Lebron. He’s putting up great numbers.

54Ms per year on average for the next 3 seasons for Beal is a tough pill to swallow

Durant deserves slander, but let’s see if it’s proportional to the slander Steph gets for missing the playoffs…

Really? That's the stance you're going to take? Zero contribution to roster construction?

I don't understand how they are anything less than screwed.
1. They don't control any other draft picks for the next six seasons
2. They don't have any assets to trade outside of their core four players (KD, Booker, Beal and Allen)
3. Their current roster that got swept in the first round already puts them above the second apron which makes it even more difficult to make changes on the fringes of the roster.
4. They have the worst contract in the league on the books for the next three seasons and Beal has a no trade clause so it will make it even more difficult to move him
5. This season was basically best case scenario for this roster as currently constructed. 35-year-old Kevin Durant played 77 games at a high level, Beal was the healthiest he has been in many years and Book played at his usual all NBA level and they still got swept in the first round. I can see many scenarios where Durant experiences age-related decline and Beal goes back to being injured and they win 35 games
You can make the argument that Phoenix is in one of the worst positions of any team in the league

Beal isn’t even an asset he’s immovable for two years
If you don’t trade Durant now his value will go way down even after next year
They’re in a bad spot
Ideally you hope a new coach unlocks something offensively but the defense seems like the issue at hand
Oneale and nurkic aren’t enough, if you try to upgrade either of them defensively, not sure who realistically could cover all their holes
I wonder how much their tax bill is?

Promoting green bubble phones is nasty because w/e celebrity they give one too is not using that in real life. It's just as bad as pro basketball players endorsing Kias when they don't drive them.
It's nasty.

Yeah if that's what he becomes he's cooked. Keep "The culture" away from anything you love.
