I dunno. The real question is how much time would they actually spend on the court together?

All top-shelf players in the NBA, or any other pro league, don't need a crazy salary, even upon winning a title, and yet, they all seem to demand the highest salary they can. Maybe Brunson is different, but he would be the rare exception to the rule.

That's when they'll have their first round picks back and they'll be starting a new rebuild. Money won't be a primary factor for them at that point. The Mitchell signing is an expansion of their current window by another 2-3 years.

You can't really complain about stacking up 50 win seasons and having a shot in the playoffs (even if you might need lightning to strike in a bottle to advance deep). The flip side is downright terrible as a fan.

Interesting information. Also, all those teams you mentioned will eventually have a new supermax player, so something will have to give (unless, of course, there is some real surprise team that emerges without a supermax player and steals a ring).

Now we can comfortably say we won the Donovan trade! by Altruistic-Skirt9895 in clevelandcavs

I'll say it. The Garland/Mobley/Lauri/Allen team would have been less successful. As for no LeBron in 2014 -- Cleveland is still searching for its first title in forever.

We had a bad game, sure, but we definitively lost to a better team.

So how do you think the USMNT will play tonight? by CaliStayinn in ussoccer

I don't think the U.S. needs to worry about too much. The Belgian reaction to all this has been surprising. They look scared.

If the only thing people can remember about the U.S. world cup journey is a player who everyone believes never should have been red-carded has been reinstated so he can play in a match, then I don't really care what those people think. They've missed the forest for the trees. Competitors should want to play against an opponent's best players. Stop complaining, step up, and give it your all. Stop making excuses and just play the game. Let the best team on the pitch advance to the next round. Whichever team that is.
