Mark Cuban and Paul Allen were the only two owners who voted against the carpetbaggers. Never forget.

I’m not disagreeing with you but that woulda been a long time for Durant to stick arounds with no Chips.

They would have not traded Harden since they could "afford" the luxury tax.

The Sonics were losing a lot of money at Key Arena. In an alternate reality where Balmer got his hooks in the team like he wanted I think they would have figured it out though.

True, but the Harden trade was post-lockout. I think they would have figured it out with a young and exciting team.

The Heat got a real one in Tyler Herro!

Why are the Heat playing Dragic off the bench? I assume to let Jimmy pound the rock to his hearts content?

I don't think any final decisions have been made, but I think the idea is to let Winslow run the point more often.

I know in the offseason there was a clarification on travelling, but I don't remember what it was now and I'm too lazy to try to find it. Is travelling going to be called now, or is the whole league going to be an endless loop of Harden-style side step/step back threes?
