MacMahon! The comedian of the Hoop Collective!

[Fent-]

Bontemps in rare form interrupting and correcting every 15 seconds. Classic!

Congrats to Washington for transforming their whole franchise in about a month.

I am not really a Washington fan but they impressed me with this weeks trades. They had the worst rock to get out from under in the league and they managed to come out looking very savy in a difficult market. Will have to let time pass to see what they can do with it but so far so good.

Buddy on the left woke up grumpy and aggressive today 😂

[seydaneen]

i love the windhorst fingers meme 🤣 the draft itself wasn't super interesting to me but I'm excited to see what trades happen. feels like there's going to be a lot of movement. should be fun

[Benjones]

Ahhhh the Wendy fingers, top tier meme🤣 love this show

Imagine the dystopia of cable television as your only source of NBA analysis.

I think the Mavs practice facility is just called Mavericks Training Center.

Aside from Boston hiring new asst coaches an aquiring Porzingus, Tatum has to be more consistent and Brown has to play more under control to reduce turnovers.

[rsgomlftw]

As a wizards fan, I’ve definitely opened up to the Beal trade but there’s no way u can justify the porzingis trade. The value of the porzingis trade for Washington literally makes me want to vomit. I don’t care if it’s better than the Marcus Morris trade, that means literally nothing to me

[CindyFagerstrom-dt]

Finally Bontemps. Dumped the equivalent of 3+ plus years of Poole's contract. CP3, the ball stopper, not a fit with GS. Poole will score 30 a game on a 30 win Wizards team. If he could dedicate himself to playing defense on half the possessions it'll be the worst trade in GS History. Was supposed to be Clay's replacement.

[mrsmith]

Yeah this Celtics team definitely needs to make 1 more move cause if this backfires and you trade the heart and soul of your team that whole organization is gonna have to restart and get rid of all the management and coaching

[mrsmith]

When it was brogdon it was a great trade but once they got ride of smart it didn't make sense I would of traded d white before smart I wish brogdon never got hurt cus that was the main issue had he not got hurt it would of never been a issue

[SweetChariotOfFire]

Bontemps loves the sound of his own voice.

[pglanville]

If healthy, Brogdon should be the starting PG.

[checkthapain]

I don't see Dray going to the Kings. It would be a bit redundant with him and Sabonis. Kings should go after Kuzma imo.

[papertags]

The Warriors didn't need Durant offensively to beat Houston. His defense was good but he actually slowed down their offense in the series. They needed KD to beat Cleveland and Toronto

[mrsmith]

I don't get why the celtics didn't trade D white pritchard an the 35th pick instead 0f smart smh so many other options besides smart

[mastermultiverse]

bro how an espn thing like the hoop collective only gonna get 570 likes but lakers nation videos from the draft got 2k likes?
