Leonard is already gone from the spurs. Would love to know what really happened there because it was pretty clear towards the end that Leonard didnt want to play for the spurs

I can't see him leaving for the west though.

[Fire Marshall Bill]

I’d be surprised if he went out West. It’s too hard.

In other news, is there anything on the planet that has a worse schedule than the NBA playoffs? It’s been a running joke for years.

Top to bottom, the West is easily better.

But could the Celtics be the best team in the NBA next season with Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward returning?

Irving improving the celtics isnt a certainty. There's a reason that Lebron had to play bulk minutes in the finals last year and its because the cavs plus/minus turned to shit when Kyrie got control of the O. Celtics strength is in Brad Stevens drawing up plays, Kyrie works in the iso

Barring a miracle of Lebron staying, they'll be irrelevant next year.

It’s not even close. When teams like this year’s Raptors make the #1 seed, you’re in a very sad state.. While the moniker “Leastern Conference” isn’t original at all, its very fitting. Practically the NBA D+ League.

Stars run the NBA. James is a perfect example. He’s their best player, coach and GM. Kyrie may not be the next coming, but he’s a player who can change the game in your favor when everything else isn’t working. He was also the best finisher on that Cavs team.

I doubt it. The Cav's will be on ESPN at least 10x a month. ESPN will make Tristan Thompson and J.R. Smith look like superstars.

No they won't. The NBA and ESPN will completely ignore Cleveland if Lebron leaves, unless they trade for, draft or sign a big name.
