I gotta say I really enjoy the dynamic duo era of NBA. The Superteam crap really put a damper on everything. I agree, I also hate the drama queen shtuff where the stars get to dictate their moves. As a result, you may see the super team return with Harden wanting to play for the Nets.

KD/Harden would be amazing, Kyrie needing the ball kills that potential. It'd be hilarious if Kyrie were traded before the season starts if they get Harden.

Klay Thompson injured his right leg during a workout today. The way it has been talked about from the little we know doesn't paint a very good picture. This would make me very sad if he has to deal with another significant injury. For what it's worth, his previously torn ACL was in the left knee.

Flynn to the Raptors. Couldn’t be happier for the guy.

Who?
Edit: I recognize the name and remember seeing him play a few times, but what exactly makes you happy for him?

SDSU guy! He was a leader on the team. Happy he went to a good team with good coaching. He’ll be supported.

He seems like a good PG who will fit the system. He will either learn well under the coaching, Lowry, and VanVleet, or be VanVleet's replacement. At worst he'll be depth because he is a 29th pick after all. The West is looking deeper overall though. The Wolves will be a lot better, the Suns, and the Warriors (barring Klay's health).

Raptors sure like SDSU so I’m a bit of a fan I suppose lol

I don't wanna see any player have a injury but I especially hate this for Klay. I'm not a Warriors fan but I'm a big fan of his. Hope its not as bad as they're thinking.

Sad for Klay, he's a great player. Maybe he'll be the Grant Hill of this generation and resurrect his career in a few years.
In otherwise shocking news, Hayward opted out. Possibly playing the long game?

I agree, he's always been in the shadows of Steph (no disrespect to Klay, Steph is just amazing), but I'll be interested to see what they do. As I write this I see that the Warriors are completing a deal with the Thunder for Kelly Oubre for a protected pick? If the Warriors finish in the bottom 10 they get a first rounder, if the Warriors finish in the top 20 they get two second rounders. That's more stockpiling but the Thunder look a little weird now. It will be interesting to see how that trio works of Curry - Oubre - Wiseman.

It works for attention but he's annoying. Free agency open and bombs about to be dropped. First move I see is Dragic re-signing with the Heat.
