I'll have to crunch the numbers at some point but to me the 2nd year in Dallas must not have been guaranteed. When you factor in 13.9% State Income Tax in California vs No State Income Tax in Texas...along with cost of living....I mean the net numbers might be $350k max. Must be something about Dallas 2nd year guarantees that scared him.

Dwight Howard rumored traded by the Hornets. Good news for Cody's outlook?

He also will have many titles, and an Olympic Gold Medal. 

Yes, team accomplishments.

Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green and Andre Igoudala are probably all Hall of Famers. 

Think Iguodola will be on the outside looking in. He doesn't really have the individual accolades outside of the one Finals MVP. Only a one-time All Star. Never All-NBA.

It looks like Victor is going to be Crean's new "Dwyane Wade" on the recruiting trail now. He's tweeted about him a couple of times now. Wonder if we'll see Vic in Georgia shorts any time soon?

Also did anyone here why Thompson was kicked out of the game or did he just leave the court early.

He hit Draymond in the face.

I know he does not need to be stationary but he moved in to the path to late and was not there in time.  I just guess like any other  basketball rule the NBA is changing the rules of the game. Forever that would not have even been close to being  a charge but I guess it todays NBA people think that is a charge.

It was definitely a block. But everything from the initial call to the replay review was a debacle.

Oladipo is All-NBA Third Team NBA All-Defensive First Team and is a finalist for Most Improved player of the year! Not bad for a team that was supposed to be in the lottery! That's not even mentioning everyone who has slept on him! He is turning heads and waking people up! 

Victor is a 100% lock for Most Improved Player.

Not a good way to measure it. Same problem Vic had playing next to Westbrook. Westbrook took what, something like 40 shots in that last loss, and of course the Thunder play in the West. It turned out a good trade both ways, a good thing.

It's not an indictment of PG. The only way in retrospect that the trade looks good for OKC is if they went deep this year. They traded for a one-year rental, it didn't work out. It's like when an MLB team mortgages their farm system to win now and then doesn't.

So, we can call the trade 'equal'.....well, except for that little Domantis Sabonis thing.  

The Thunder only got one year of PG and a first round exit, so I would say no.

Just announced Vic was named 3rd Team All-NBA.

Victor named first team all defense:
