A guy I played with in college was in the league for a few years. I once saw Reggie Miller at Hooters in downtown Indy. He was just hanging out in a booth with a couple other Pacers. Nobody was even really paying attention to them. He was every bit as skinny as he looked on tv.

Speaking of skinny... Travis Benjamin is the skinniest dude on earth. His biceps and calves are the same size as my wrists.

My 2 major takeaways from working the sideline... that... and Owen Marecic has major mental issues. Definitely not what I expected out of a guy from Stanford.

...am I the only person that had to Google Wayne Simmonds so I knew who was who?

[LetsGoPeay]

I read it as Wayne Simien the first time. I think it was because my eyes had skipped ahead to "power forward".

[nick]

one of the few black hockey players and hes also extremely good. i walked by him a lot in school since hes 2 yrs younger and went to my buddys high school. but he wasnt what he is today but he was a stud then. Its crazy the people you just know will make it.

Anyone else confused by this line? Just me?

i skipped school a lot and hung out at Birchmount. Most of my buddys who lived in the coop I lived in went there. Birchmount's also where Coreys fav artist The Weeknd went.

Yep. Wasn't sure which of the two guys was him.

The Weeknd is my homeboy.

Kelly O to the heat!

he's useful and I don't mind him but I'm not a huge fan of signing mid-tier free agents to 4 year deals.

he's going to fill into Luke Babbit's role but he's a better PnR defender and is also a better passer

[Cnasty]

It's a reach after swinging and missing on Hairward.

back court: Dragic, Tyler, Josh Rich, Waiters, Ellington, Mcgruder
front court: Winslow, JJ, Olynyk, Bam, Okaro, Udonis, Whiteside

doesn't seem like a lot on paper but every guy other than Whiteside, Bam and Winslow (unless he progressed) is a capable 3 point shooter. they are already good defensively. they are all multi positional players with passing ability except basically Whiteside and Bam.

I think they'll be equally fun to watch as they were last year. i'm not a Winslow fans so I hope he proves me wrong and becomes the stud they hoped he will become. Unless he can shoot I think he's going to fuck up the flow they had last year.

[shel311]

Heat roster is mostly set for 3 more seasons.

After that only Waiters and Olynyk or under contract, so they'll have tons of room under the cap. That coincides with the offseason that AD and Giannis could become free agents.

[Cnasty]

AD and Giannis could become free agents.

Hot damn now we are talking!!!

I like the move because I like the guy from an entertainment perspective and NBA league pass next year. Will be a fun team to watch.

[nick]

Giannis gonna sign with Knicks. Big greek community, brothers on the team. big city.

[Cnasty]

Richmond is beautiful this time of year.
