    Where does everyone buy their workout gear from?

    Not shopping in Murica, but I tend to avoid the swoosh and 3 stripes, as those cost more than the UA logo without actually manufacturing better gear in the same Asian sweat shops. For running I value good shoes and am willing to pay extra bucks for qualified advice since I kinda wanna keep my...

    Those ski resorts can soon hire teachers on vacation to do that!

    I can see someone like Jimmy be an issue, I guess Klay Thompson or Paul George could be as well. I'm also not worried about Donovan's defense in those instances. It's just that if someone big got Mitchell it means we need to try changing coverages and put bigger guys on that dude. So that means...

    I'd love to have a bigger swingman on the roster because Mitchell is tiny. So far he's compensated with effort and wingspan, but what if at some point he finds his kryptonite and is getting regularly outplayed because of height. If we invested money in multiple 6'2 guards and that scenario...

    Winter Olympics 2018 in PyeongChang, South Korea

    I'm pretty sure that US networks basically set the schedule for figure skating so it fits their market the best.

    The skillset the Jazz need is another playmaker who has an outside shot. And it basically doesn't matter what position(s) he plays, as long it's not a Center.

    Vanderbilt looks really weird... Is he still injured or is his footwork just not advanced at all?

    I'm not buying that he never hit the weights...Maybe he was carrying groceries for the whole street every weekend and his street consisted of conspiracy theory ppl who have bunkers to survive a nuclear war that need to be restocked regularly... I'm also not looking at the averages, I look at...

    Yeah I'm wary of players like Ayton. Haven't seen many flip a switch once they arrive in the NBA. There've been plenty of guys who had all the talent and physical tools to be elite in certain areas, but continued to be disinterested in certain areas of the basketball game. To me he looks like...

    What age did Bamba start playing basketball? Did he grow late in his teens or has he always been huge?

    Hood traded to Cleveland for Crowder; Johnson to Sacramento

    I don't look at it through that lense. Other FAs got overpaid massively, which means few teams have cap space and incentive to use it. The Jazz should have uses that to their advantage and negotiated hard with Hood. His Qualifying offer is at 3.5M, there's no way he wants to lose all the money...

    Hood traded to Cleveland for Crowder; Johnson to Sacramento

    I mean look at the cap numbers: mid level is about 9millions if I'm correct. 15 is 67% over the midlevel, 17 is 89% over it. When Favors signed his flat 48/4 contract midlevel was around 5.5, so the percentage of the cap was actually higher than a 15 per year is nowadays.

    Hood traded to Cleveland for Crowder; Johnson to Sacramento

    It's more that I don't see how having Crowder is gonna improve the quality on the court compared to paying Hood

    Hood traded to Cleveland for Crowder; Johnson to Sacramento

    I think that price range is reasonable for his performance and I'm not sure why the Jazz would be scared of that. I like his versatility on offense a lot

    Hood traded to Cleveland for Crowder; Johnson to Sacramento

    This trade is horrible: Why? Because there are not a lot of teams that can offer Rodney a max contract this summer and there's more free agents than money, so Utah could've low balled him into a 15-17 mil a year deal that's cost efficient for a 2nd/3rd option on offense. Crowder is in a slump...

    This is a completely new concept. Whoever got vertical quickness would be goat immediately as he'd be impossible to defend. Harry Potter action!

    General NBA 2017-2018 Season Thread

    Well one way to do it is to start wide by hitting some mid first round picks and once you got that value you just bottom out 2 seasons for high lottery talent while developing the promising youth and selling the fan base on the necessity to utilize that opportunity. I'm not saying it's a smart...

    Never heard of him, but I'm not that active these days so it doesn't mean that much.

    I watched a full game of Ayton last weekend(or the one before that) and I was not impressed. I'm not sure his playstyle translates to the pros and as of right now he doesn't seem to have the skill level to make his playstyle translateable Cousins style. If I'm sitting at the top of the draft I'd...
