My wife asked if we could get tickets last night. My daughter loves basketball. I told her we should wait to see who's where first

I bought tickets to the one in 2010 in June to see Wade. By July, they added LeBron and Bosh and my second row tickets went sky high. Only people in front of me were the floor seats and it was mainly Chiefs players. Pretty cool night expect I didn't get to see Wade play. But saw LeBron and Durant and that was totally worth it.

Vegas wasn't built on the general public being smart.

That's irrelevant right now. No one knows what anyone's going to look like next year with the exception of the Spurs.

This draft is gonna get crazy. The Embiid injury throws a major monkey wrench into the top 10.

I'd love to see Sacramento trade McLemore and their 8th pick to Philly for the third. Something like:

Jason Thompson
Ben McLemore
8th pick

for

Jason Richardson's knee and expiring contract
3rd pick

SAC takes Dante Exum to be their PG

Philly gets to pair McLemore with MCW, and then grab Randle/McDermott/Stauskus/Young with the 8th and 10th picks.

There's no way the 6ers do that.

There's no way that proposed trade for Kevin Love is going down. I refuse to believe Minnesota is THAT stupid. Yes they need to trade KLove, but they don't need to get raped in the process.

Trade makes no sense to me if I'm a Wolves fan.

Lee's contract is miserable, and Thompson is going to be due a huge raise. The Wolves would just have the same issue with him that they have with Love in a years time.

Lee is going to give you 18/10 but the Wolves would get destroyed beyond belief with that defensive lineup on the floor.

Martin has a very reasonable 3 years at 21 million left on his deal.

If I'm the Wolves, I'm holding Love until the trade deadline.

I wouldn't be shocked if Embiid fell to the Lakers.

I would be, if the current order holds. I don't see any way that Ainge would let Embiid get by him.

You're probably right.

Knowing the Lakers luck that is probably true.

Yep.

Klay’s father Mychal Thompson — the former No. 1 overall pick, the former member of the Showtime Lakers, and currently a Lakers broadcaster and sports talk radio host in L.A. — made it sound like the deal is very close, as reported by Monte Poole at CSNBayArea.com.

“My source knows what’s going on up there (in Oakland),” Thompson said Thursday morning on the air of ESPN LA 710. “And since this guy told me that this is really close to happening, it just kind of depressed me.”

It also depressed Klay. There had been talk about Love coming to the Bay Area but at first the Warriors were reticent to part with Thompson. That has changed.

“It’s disappointing, because Klay and I have been talking about this all summer and the possibility of this happening, as far as him and Kevin being together on the same team – along with Steph Curry,” Mychal Thompson said. “And he was really looking forward to that. He thought that if you added Love to the Splash Brothers, with (Andrew) Bogut and (Andre) Iguodala, they had a chance . . . to get to the West finals next year.

“If this happens, I’m going to have to talk him down off the ledge.”

Klay would not re-sign when he turns into a FA.

I really like Thompson, but if that deal goes down.. I will be, uhhm yeah.

So what moves do you guys think the Lakers make? I dont see them being a playoff team.

I'd be surprised if he even got that far. Noel only fell to 6 himself after tearing his ACL and he isn't anywhere near the caliber of prospect.
