Following who NBA players follow on Twitter is the best way to predict trades

It's a big time of year to see which players that different NBA teams are following on Twitter. That's how you tell. [Big Cat]: Because Isaiah Thomas also followed Melo, right, on Twitter. So that's a big thing as well.

Larry II committed suicide because he couldn't face an NFL offseason without football

Possible suicide because Larry was a football guy. He loved gambling. He was really good at it. He liked the games. He got a little taste of what the offseason looked like... the week without football really crushed him, and he couldn't bear looking ahead to the next six months without any games.

Buddy Hield should retire in a year or two because he is an old rookie

Buddy Hield is also, like, he's the Chris Weinke type, where everyone's like, oh, Buddy Hield's a nice young piece, and it's like, well, actually, he was a four-year starter, and he's like 25 years old. Oh, okay, well, Buddy Hield should retire in a year or two.

Hot Take Basketball Medium

Buddy Hield had a long, productive career after this, playing many seasons in the NBA beyond 'a year or two.'

The Warriors vs. Pelicans first-round series will be lame because Draymond Green will just punch Boogie Cousins in the dick

So what you're going end up seeing here is the Warriors taking on the Pelicans in the first round... I'm here to tell you that it's not [going to be awesome]. It's going to be lame. Draymond Green, all he does is punch people in the dick, and getting punched in the dick is real weakness in [Boogie Cousins'] game.
