Jevon Carter to the Grizzlies. If he gets any playing time, it might be enough for this WVU fan to become a Memphis fan, for whatever that's worth.

I'm still surprised PG13 re-signed with the Thunder. I honestly would have thought that LA would been appealing with LeBron and the possibility of trading for Kawhi

It's official. The Eastern Conference's only relevant team is no longer in any way relevant. Next year's Western Conference Finals between the Warriors and Lakers will be the true NBA Finals, and the Celtics, or Sixers, or whoever manages to take the East will be the token offering that gets swept.

The Lakers roster is certainly a feast for sore eyes for LeBron after his last season with the Cavs, but if -- IF -- the Lakers make it past the Warriors, a sweep of a deep Celtics team with Kyrie and that Jazz guy whose name I forget is in the cards? Hell, I think a Laker-Sixer Finals won't be a snore either unless Embiid goes down.

DeMarcus cousins signed with the warriors. The NBA should just declare the warriors champions, since it's likely they will not lose in the playoffs. Lol

Well, even if Pop ain't one to tank, the West is a grueling motherfucker. Take the L for the season and fish out another Duncan or Kawhi before the rest of the team gets geriatric.
