...For whatever reason. The Oilers have no business getting that pick any time in the next two decades. As a Wings fan, it boggles the shit out of me that Edmonton can't skate a decent team with all the opportunities they've been given.

Sorry for the derail, duder. Threw a dart at a map...He'll sign with a team north of Boise, Idaho.

I thought Wade was just doing a power-play to squeeze as much $$$ as possible out of Pat Riley. I think he'll stick to Miami honestly.
(The Oilers have all the business being perennial first pickers because they won't stop fucking picking wingers)

HAHAHAHA!
I now have a hockey team to rag on so that is good.
No clue what wade is doing, getting money based on past performance I guess
Heat won't win again until bron retires anyway,
I have been a heat fan for so long, Long before lebron, but I don't care if wade stays anymore
time to rebuild

Butler, D-Wade, Rondo on the same team...with a 2nd year coach who doesn't appear to be ready to steady a team lacking identity...or stand up to high IQ NBA champions with a chip on their shoulder. This may be the single-most, poorly conceived back court of the past decade. I cant recall a worse example, including Phoenix pairing Bledsoe & Knight together.
I think Jimmy B will quietly ask for a trade, otherwise I do not anticipate him having a good year in Chi. Rondo & D-Wade are both usage-heavy and need the ball to be effective. One thing's for certain, League Pass will be well worth it this year!

I have never gotten league pass but i may look into it this year.
Everyone in the league is trying to load up shooters and get good deep looks and the Bulls loaded up on mid range guys and a PG who can't shoot at all, gonna be weird.

Meh. Horford is a good player, but he's not a stud. He's not a big scorer and he's only averaged double digit rebounds once in his career. He's a good defender, but that wasn't really the Celts weakness last year. They needed a consistent scorer, and they still do.

yeah celtics still can't shoot,
new intentional foul rule is interesting,
I hate the intentional foul practice as a whole and don't think most teams who use it are very successful anyway

so stoked about nba.
so not stoked about reggie jackson sitting out right now. not terribly unhappy that our backup is the far more serviceable ish smith over last years unholy terror: steve blake.
eastern conference has some depth this year while the cavs are the favorites to take the conference i don't doubt that any team could do well against them. western conference seems more lopsided. it will be very interesting to see how the warriors play out with KD. portland is my western conference team. lilard balled out of his mind last year.
