Woah there, Andy.
– Our very own, very talented editor Colin McGowan wrote a nice piece on Anderson Varejao for the Classical. Check it out.
– ESPN Insider continues the Kyrie love-fest, and I couldn’t be happier.
– A fantastic article from the Shadow League on black superstars, Kyrie Irving and the ephemeral idea of NBA “street cred.”
– Also, this is funny as hell.
Kyrie might just be unlucky. It’s not like his injuries are all in a danger zone like the knee. Trying to be as objective as possible but I’m see Bill Simmon’s having Kyrie in the top five of his trade value list this year. He’s a marketable superstar making 500 K less than Luke Walton. He’s efficient AI without the thuggery or selfishness. His playing deficiencies are correctable and actually pretty common for young players. Due to his age, demeanor, salary and skills he’s probably gonna be third on Simmon’s list after only Lebron and Durant. I wouldn’t trade Kyrie… Read more »
Kyrie may be injury prone, but he hasn’t been, say, Stephen curry injury prone.
Steph Curry’s lucky he didn’t get injured tonight picking a fight with Roy Hibbert

Just thought of that one now not saying that I’d do it or any of the other teams would, but its got to be in everyones mind now that the biggest things that could prevent Cleveland and NBA greatness from getting together again is Kyries desire and injury
I really haven’t watched Beal play other then when Dion abused him early in the year (Was more a comment on being very happy with Ellington)… I’ve heard hes been shooting much better since Wall came back, Idk I just never really liked him in the draft process anyways, except that he tested well athletically before the draft. The thing on ESPN where they compared Lillard and Kyrie was funny and wrong, they will never be in the same class… Some dude on ESPN the other day said he would rather have Lillard because they think Kyrie is going to… Read more »
What is Waiters’ ceiling? It’s much much much higher than Beal’s. Or Lillards or MKGs
Random thought… Is Bradley Beal’s ceiling how Wayne Ellington is playing right now?
Adam – way to early to know what Beal’s ceiling will be. My question is…what is Ellington’s ceiling?
