    Maris kinda. (Well not sign, since that wasn’t a thing until later, I think. They leveraged money in other ways)

    There was quite the pipeline between the Kansas City A's and the big ballpark in the Bronx.

    Warriors needed this. When they were down to the Rockets, and Andre was out, all I heard was about their severe lack of depth.

    If nothing else - everyone should be happy that the Lebron signing with the Lakers is literally yesterday's news. I'm surprised Draymond hasn't posted a picture of him and Boogie hanging out and welcoming LeBron to the Pacific Division.

    This is a bullshit response. Lay out your alternative. Should players not be allowed to be free agents?

    Their is no dynasty without drafting well. That is what started players wanting to play there. You are the one being ridiculous here.

    Good Tebow, we're in agreement on something.

    As far as ending free agency, that horse has not only left the barn, it's in the next county prepping for the Kentucky Derby.

    LeBron didn’t agree to sign with the Lakers. LeBron agreed to sign with Hollywood.

    You are still a ridiculous fanboi but you are right on this one.

    Great move for GS, too. What if Klay or Draymond for some strange reason decide next summer to sign elsewhere? Well, Cousins is then already worked into their team culture and can slide right in on a long term deal (provided he's healthy and not a locker room disturbance).

    If you had only seen some of the dreck thrown out on the floor during the Christopher Cohan era ...

    I own a team. A player wants to play for my team. I want that player to play for my team. I have the money and the salary cap space me necessary to pay that player. So I sign that player. Are you saying that a team should just say no? “Nah, we have enough good players, we’re done here. Gotta be fair to the other teams, ya know.” That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

    LeBron went to a team that likely won’t have a chance at a title next year. OKC gave up on a budding super team. The Rockets were building a garbage brand of basketball. The Warriors were reviled the last year they were home grown and built off semi-random parts.

    It’s almost like we hate most things and want something to complain about.
