Anyone still follow?
Lebron to La la land; Warriors with even more of a Dream Team (should go undefeated, score 150 pts per gm & beat everybody by >30 pts per night lol)...kind of ridiculous.

The NBA is crazy. I'm a big Raptors fan, so King James to LA is a great development.
As for the Warriors, the talent there is incredible, although I'm not 100% convinced Boogie Cousins will have a big impact this year. Coming off Achilles surgery, and a full year of inactivity when he returns in January, who knows what he'll have to offer. That's why no other team gave him a contract offer. Like everything in the salary cap world, the Warriors reign will come to an end soon. At some point they just won't be able to pay everyone what they feel they are worth.
Go Raptors!

The Cousins thing is insane but I agree with Canucks, he is going to a low stress team, win a ring, boost his resume, sign a huge contract when he is back to his old self. Really isn't terrible, Warriors will win 62+ games though

You're not wrong with the salary cap thing, but what happens when you have people like KD taking pay cuts to play?

Such an exciting sport to have 2 or 3 good teams and 28 garbage teams.

Fully agree with everything you said Joe.
The Cousins signing is ridiculous but he may not even be 70% of himself coming off an Achilles tear, and he's still a hot head bitch, so hopefully that bites them in the ass. Great for the raps to have LeBron leave the east for sure, we now have a good chance to get swept in the finals instead of the semis.
All this just goes to show how much better the NHL is at the moment in almost every way. Even when the Pens were dominating, you'd still somehow count them out every year cause there's so many legit teams. Hate Bettman all you want but he's done a great job with parity. Almost as good as Jon and Gavin.

Talks of Karlsson going to Tampa Bay could have the Lightning looking like the "Golden State" of the NHL.
