It’s honestly ridiculous. I have the best opinions.

When literally every other move you’ve made is horseshit the mediocre drafting tends to be magnified.

Fun fact: I have literally never heard or seen anything come out of the NHL combine that made me rethink a single thing about a player. Thankfully the media hasn’t over obsessed about it.

I came into the playoffs thinking it’s a 30% chance of him staying. Then they went on the run. Now I’ll give it 50% because he’s a true wildcard. I’ve had a feeling he was heading to the Clippers for a while.

Let’s go Raptors babyyyyyy

Mark Stone is one of the best hockey players in the world.

Only a few good nuggets in 31 Thoughts: https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/31-thoughts-navigating-phil-kessel-trade-wont-easy-penguins/ Says the Pens and Wild agreed to a deal for Kessel and Kessel vetoed so the teams leaked it. Says Arizona is high on Kessel’s list. Also says Zucker was traded twice now to have it vetoed (Calgary at the deadline). Karlsson is interested in seeing the free agent process and might still really want to be in Tampa. A lot of interest in Kevin Hayes. Buffalo is never mentioned.

Raddysh is three years younger and an actual prospect with potential still to tap into. It appears CJ Smith is not and does not. I’d want more but I’d 100% rather have Raddysh.

There is definitely something to be said about the failure to write an effective ending once they passed the books. Since the Night King didn’t exist in the books they effectively built intrigue into him but failed to deliver an even remote storyline at the end. The intrigue was with the assumption we’d get answers we never got.

I’d put them above us but below San Jose, Tampa and New York.

Wait... why? (At least on Tampa) You’re definitely losing money.

That’s why a lot of them are in open relationships. Many probably start open relationships reluctantly but get used to it. I only know two couples in open relationships. One seems miserable and the other is incredibly strong.

Of note: the girl who LeBron allegedly messaged is Jordan Poyer’s wife. Poyer’s wife has cheated on him (with Antonio Brown) and Poyer has cheated on her. Wild world, sports is.

This is unnecessary. Two people are having a discussion. Both of us are stating our positions. We both insist we are right. One per student, I’d guess.

LeBron has given so much for his teams. He went back to Cleveland and willed that team to a championship. Then last year he put on one of the greatest performances in NBA playoff history just to see the rag-tag group around him fumble game one away. You’re falling for the media narrative pretty hard here. Those trusted around LeBron say the whole “GM LeBron” thing is not a thing. You think LeBron told the Lakers to go out and sign bums liken Lance Stephenson, JaVale McGee and KCP last offseason? LOL. And yes, the entirety of a man is what allows him to do good and bad things. Individual actions rarely exist in a vacuum. Your simplistic view of this isn’t what I’m actually saying.

Lmfao at “bad teammate” bro you’re bitter. Also, maybe he’s in an open relationship - that’s not any of our business. LeBron James isn’t Martin Luther King Jr. Not even close. But you know who was a notorious cheater? MLK Jr. And that’s just who he was. The entirety of a man helps him do good and bad things.

Never said those couldn’t be separate but thanks! In fact I separated the person and the player with “and” AND a period. A grammatical error just to separate the two concepts. But he uses it all to do incredible things for other people.

LeBron James is the greatest basketball player to ever live. And he’s an incredible person. To dismiss it all as attention-seeking self service is selling him short. Regardless of the motivation the work he’s done and the role model he’s served as will do wonders for a generation of fans. That’s enough for me.

I know some wonderful bald men on this site so I’ll take that as a compliment.

A few states away and I've found my stream is pretty weak sometimes. The hues of yellow/gold aren't always right either.

My brother's ex worked at a barber shop so I used to chill there a bunch when I was growing my hair out.

I think Bergeron is firmly untouchable.

This is what happens when you finally play for a team that wears the right shade of blue.

And none of it was a mistake. I hated it all, but it was all the right move. I used to say only “The Decision” special was a mistake but even that is fine. He was the biggest star in American sports exploring his own power. Turns out: he’s as powerful as he is talented.

Your trade ideas are consistently brutal it’s fun. We’d have to add a ton to this.
