76ers franchise is something else man

This is scary for zharie smith apperntly he has lost 20 lbs and the reaction was really bad, hospitalized him. If anyone should be hiring a lawyer its him not fultz

So the next six games are against ex-RapTerrence Ross in Orlando, ex-Rap Vince Quitter-Carter in Atlanta, the Beal and Wall fiasco, welcoming ex Rap James Johnson and Miami and finally, a bunch of guys you've never heard of playing well in Memphis before finally hosting the big one; GSW in Toronto.
Should be fun .... 4 out of 6?

Eric Smith
CJ Miles says he feels "really good".

He's not sure if he will be back tonight or tomorrow; tough to know given the back to back. But he's fine now.

Cavaliers look to part ways with J.R. Smith after trade request.

SportsNet:
J.R. Smith‘s bumpy-but-never-boring stay with the Cleveland Cavaliers is over.

The team said Tuesday that the disgruntled forward, who had requested to be traded earlier this season, "will no longer be with team as the organization works with JR and his representation regarding his future."

The Cavaliers will try to trade Smith. He will make $14.7 million this season, and $3.8 million of his $15.6 million salary for next season is guaranteed.

For now, the 33-year-old Smith is without a team

Crazy. But not as crazy as it sounds:
Cost
The cost to the Raptors would be insignificant. Since the Rockets have chosen to sideline Anthony, they are likely happy to receive any compensation in return for his services. The Raps may even choose to wait out the Rockets and pick up their man when he gets officially waived. In this case, they would only be paying his salary. The Atlanta Hawks are still paying Anthony $25.5 million this season after reaching a buyout agreement with him. This is why he is being paid the veteran’s minimum, $2.4 million. His contract only brings a $1.5 cap hit. This is a reasonable gamble for a player whose upside has shown him to be an elite player in the league. Compared to the paychecks Melo is cashing from Atlanta, this is an absolute steal.

Lol the cap hit is not the issue here guys

[slaw]

Lol the cap hit is not the issue here guys

I'd be okay with it from a team perspective if he could still play. The Raps have lots of vets and a group of young guys who have come up together, I wouldn't be worried about team chemistry, etc. The issue is that he can't play anymore. He isn't any good and he won't help them win.

Problem is that Melo would "dial back the clock" for 3 or 4 games and generate just enough wins to screw some team out of getting Zion. Melo can't win either way. lol.

Somebody suggested he should go to China.
