The 2018 World Cup Final :: Modrić is 15% bird
Just thought about how incredible that France won without getting anything from Giroud. Benzema was supposedly left out bc of tactical reasons but surely he couldnt be worse

I wouldnt have picked Modric as the golden ball winner. Hazard and Mbappe were better.

2018 NBA Offseason Thread -- News, Free Agency, Trades, Etc
I dont doubt that the millenials are very sensitive to online negativity. The question is should we (as the #1 UT message board) change our online behavior? Filter all negative threads/posts directed to current team players? No more looking ahead (cause we are not the ones playing)?

Scottie is like the George Washington of SF though, he defined the modern day small forward designation. Read somewhere that the term small forward came about because of him.

2018 Rockets Offseason Thread - LeBron or bust
If they play with Harden and CP3, wouldnt be surprising if they put up better # and get big $ offers. If you have any of the Horns alum (Allen, Turner, Bamba) as a Rockets C, the Rockets would just win as many games as with Capela. Capela showed an extra gear in the playoff but he is not even in the closing minutes lineup against GSW. Should you pay more than $15 mil for that? I still dont think so.

I would take anything useful for Anderson but hard to see Hawks/ Wolves going for those trades. Sent from my SM-T715Y using Tapatalk

The third best iso player is now on the trade market: https://stats.nba.com/players/isolation/?CF=GP*G*40:FGM*G*50&Season=2017-18&SeasonType=Regular Season&PerMode=Totals&sort=Percentile&dir=1 I don't think it will happen but wouldn't be surprise if we lose Gordon.

wc semi 1 :: La bataille des hydres à trois têtes
I want to like Mbappe but his antics make it hard. Good game by Pogba, he was a rock on the defensive end. As for Belgium, you can never win anything if you rely on Fellaini....

Melton is already a better player than MCW

Im surprised that Melton can shoot the 3 ball, thats all he needs to do in this offense.

I think the "new math" plan got canned as soon as Ariza got Phx offer. Not sure what the plan is now and sure as hell dont understand the Melo fascination. There doesn't seem to be a way to improve on last years roster now, shit we are not even running it back to the same level.

I like Brendan Wright but he is never healthy

DMO = Donatas Montiejunas. Noel hasn't produced at the same level but that didnt stop the Mavs from offering a shit ton of money. Now Noel has an injury issue and was happy to sign for the min to be a backup. All Im saying is that, Capela can gamble or take a compromise but still get life changing money. I assume he would choose the later

The Rockets will wait out Capela's bluff. I don't think Capela would want to risk it by playing out the qualifying offer year ( see what happened to DMO, Noel, etc). Calling it at 36 mil for 3 yrs. Thats still alot of money in case things goes south, and you get a chance to earn a max contract in your prime.

Somebody pls tell why the Lakers didnt offer Cousins and gave it to KCP instead?

Welp, BUST it is then. Our main free agent addition is gonna be Nunnally? FML. Only chance now if enough players gets pissed off (reports state that they are), say screw the verbals, reneged on offers and we get chaos.

So only how many big money FA left: LaVine, Capela and Cousins? Should the Hawks offer 4 yr max to Cousins and force the Pelicans into a difficult choice? Hawks are not going be good in that timeframe anyway. It is a huge risk but if Cousins comes back healthy, they would have plenty to gain.

Yeah sure, should have said under rated strength. Nonetheless, he noticeably declined last year. Morey said Rockets have "new math", ppl thought that meant he had a blank check from Fertitta. Maybe 15m for Ariza was too much or he has something else under his sleeves (hopefully it is not MCW).
-

Ariza's biggest strength is his durability, which is a big thing in an aging squad. Anyway, if we resign Luc, I wouldnt lose any sleep.

If I'm PHX, I would have used that money on Fred Van Vleet.

I guess Jared Dudley and Tyson Chandler are not enough? And they dealt an unprotected Miami 1st rd earlier, unbelievable
