So if we make the playoffs this year I would love if we drafted Caris LaVert with our first round pick. Dude does a lot on the court, could have a monster season this next year

This year's Christmas unis somehow managed to be worse than the ones last year.

[KingPG21]

We play Shaw tonight! Kind of wish he was doing better as a coach

Agreed.

Gary Harris #6 on SC top 10 with a nasty dunk in his debut.

It's all about the Benjamin's baby.  Who would seriously pay $110 for that garbage.

I seriously think Lance is going to get hurt this season because somebody will get tired of him doing stuff like this and just level him.

Speaking of born ready he and PG were at the games tonight

I know he is a IU alum, but Cuban is a moron sometimes:

 

 

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has a come up with a proposal to level the playing field between the NBA’s two conferences. Cuban suggests a conference realignment that would result in a total of eight teams, including the Mavs, switching conferences. In Cuban’s plan, the Mavs, San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets and New Orleans Pelicans would move to the Eastern Conference. The Chicago Bulls, Indiana Pacers, Detroit Pistons and Milwaukee Bucks would move to the West. "It’s not like it’d be the first time we’ve ever realigned," Cuban said. "It’s happened many times before, so there’s precedent and I just think it shakes things up and makes things interesting." ESPN.com

 

 "It’s not like you’re reducing competition," said Cuban, who noted that the teams he suggested moving to the West are approximately the same distance from Portland as Dallas and closer than New Orleans, San Antonio and Houston. "You keep Cleveland, Washington and other good teams in the East. It kind of shakes things up in terms of not just interest but also in terms of how people rebuild. "It just changes things up and it changes the thought process of a lot of teams. It makes both conferences very competitive, at least for the short-term and I think, based on the history of the teams, for the long-term as well."ESPN.

In case people were wondering, here is a basic translation: "Screw all those teams, this benefits my organization greatly, trolololololololol."

Hahaha love Kobe. He gives less than zero f***s.

@WojYahooNBA: Charlotte, Indiana had preliminary conversations on possible return of Lance Stephenson, but talks haven't gone far, sources tell Yahoo.

@WojYahooNBA: So far, Charlotte's been unwilling to attach a first-round pick to unload Stephenson. That could've kick-started conversation with Pacers.

Unless they want to include an unprotected first round pick or Vonleh then there should be no chance the Pacers bring Lance back. They're being dumb if they think we'd take him back without that first round pick

Vonleh is an interesting scenario. I'd be more than ok with that or a 1st rounder.
