This season will mark the 10th since Giannis was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks.  Now he holds the franchise hostage despite being a negative impact on the team, community and failing to stand up to China.

Good luck to all your favorite teams, except the Heat, Celtics and 76ers

The Spurs say Wemby is only 7-3 1/2?   WTF is going on?  I thought he was a legit 7'5??

Dude shrunk 1.5 inches just by breathing our fooked up air, aina?

Maybe?  This is a freaking disaster. 

[MuggsyB]

Was Yao Ming measured at 7'6?

[Uncle Rico]

Maybe?  This is a freaking disaster.

No, it isn’t

[MuggsyB]

No, it isn’t

7'3?  Meh.

7'5? 

[tower912]

We define disasters differently.

I don't lie about my height so if I'm told someone is 7'5 I assume it's the truth.

Have I got news for you about the Marquette roster

[tower912]

My dad's advice to my sister about dating applies here. 

'Boy's are going to lie to you.'

Spill it.  Why can't I get accurate information?

The heights are always exaggerated

Further evidence that diminutive people are discriminated against.  I have never lied about my height.  Even on my DL.

That’s because nobody cares what short people say.

[MuggsyB]

Another example of ubiquitous discrimination.

A live look at the MuggsyB household.

That’s him without shoes. They always list heights with shoes.

Oh.....ty.  That changes everything.

Either that, or something was lost in the conversion from the metric system.

Harden, KD, and Kyrie have combined for 7 trade requests over the last 2 seasons.  And Kyrie can also leave Dallas as a FA this offseason.

All 3 are searching for someone to carry them to a title. Just a guess, but I don’t expect another title for any.

At least Durant and Irving have been important players on championship teams, and at least Durant has been considered by his peers to have been good teammate everywhere he's been.

Harden is a proven loser who obviously has tremendous offensive skills but whose main accomplishment has been getting teams to fork over big money to him. At this point, given his track record, why would any team trade anything of value for him or pay him tens of millions of dollars?

James Harden is basically a guy who can get hot on the offensive end and that's about it. Never had good handles. Never could defend.

He "never had good handles"?  He kicks the ball away a lot but has always had good handles Fluffy as has Kyrie. WTH are you talking about?   He's an iso player.
