So tomorrow is the NBA draft and we should begin to get a clearer picture of what the NBA might look like next season.
Here’s what it looks like. Golden State will once again be a prohibitive favorite to win the championship. If Houston resigns Chris Paul they will be the favorite to have the second best squad in the league.
Boston is interesting though. They have the pieces to make themselves as good as Houston and maybe possibly better as the team with the best chance to derail Wanda and Tony Durant’s dream of a threepeat for Cupcake.
All this other window dressing by all these motherfuckers at ESPN like say Brian Windhorst and Royce Young is just that…window dressing.
Because as long as Golden State doesn’t lose its mind and they keep Durant, Curry, Klay, Draymond and Andre together they’re a solid favorite to win the O’Brien Trophy.
I lost a lot of respect for Jim Traber yesterday listening to his crybaby bullshit about Greg Popovich. Traber hates Pop primarily for the things Pop has said about Trump and politics in general. I found it very small of Traber to demean perhaps the greatest coach in the era of collective bargaining in all of pro sports just because like me he thinks Donald Trump is a con artist piece of shit douchebag.
But I will write this though…Pop lived a blessed coaching life with one Timmy Duncan, but you know what…Pop himself has said that many, many times and deflected the credit to Timmy.
So…with the probable departure of Kawhi the end of the Spurs era will somewhat end tomorrow night much like the era ended in Oklahoma City on July 4th, 2016.
I’m very disappointed in Jim Traber.
Hopefully..Paul George somehow stays in OKC and Carmelo’s delusional ass is on some other roster of a basketball team which needs an over the hill overpaid player who hasn’t done anything team wise since he was at Syracuse.
Sam Presti has some serious work to be done.
We’ll see.
