Is this a basketball move for James or a lifestyle one ? Even if they get Leonard you would doubt it's enough

Magic Johnson isn't building an also-ran.

Looks like Lebron knows more than we do at this point

Boogie Cousins to the GSW

Agreed - now all 5 of their starters were All-Stars last year

Boogie is coming off a torn Achilles, wasn't wanted anywhere and was available on the cheap. Brilliant deal for both parties.

Got him for 1 year at $5.3 million.  He won't play till January at the earliest.

Exactly. The Warriors get the chance to have one of the most talented big men of the last few decades at bargain basement price. If it works out, they're rented him for a year for next to nothing. If he's either incapable of it physically or gets up to his usual nonsense, he's gone in a year.

Boogie gets the chance to chase a ring while coming back from a career threatening injury. Behave himself and play well, he'll be in line for a max contract next year.

If these reports about Shady McCoy are true - the f**ker needs to be in prison and not the NFL

To be honest I think this is old news. This has been flagged (no pun intended) for a good few years now. The NFL was the worst culprit and they admitted getting cash to have these displays or whatever.

I know the NFL have been nailed and rightly so but this "A Military Tribute at the Greenbrier" nonsense needs to be called out. . . where are all theses tributes at when the VA is struggling so badly?!

I appreciate guys who serve their country but it's gone WAY too far in America!

That awkward moment when the Browns give you hope. Then again, perfect in pre-season last year, and then zip. But Taylor and Mayfield both looked good. No running game, though.
