ESPN First Take - Skip Bayless Gives Emotional Goodbye To "First Take" And Stephen A. Smith



Sad to see this guy go. He was the Steph Curry of Sports TV.

Derrick Rose to knicks. Him and Melo are both always hurt, probably will sign Howard too for the most over rated team of all time

 

[MrEdzhuks]

I see all around Twitter that Knicks now have "The BIG 3", but I only see the BIG 1 who is Kristaps Porzingis. It's pretty hard to say that, because Rose was my favorite basketball player for a long time, but now sadly he's not who he was before the injuries. I remember now how 2 years ago I was so pumped that Melo would sign with Bulls, that would've been one heck of a team, but what can you do about Carmelo, he likes that ching ching bling bling more than a ring. Hopefully KP finds either a better place to play or Knicks get rid of Melo and perhaps Rose as well. But we'll see

I really want to see Rose healthy again. He was the most electric player I had ever seen in 2010. He was the MVP man. He did it all, he was as athletic as Westbrook, and he played D every possession. He would do things that flat out amazed you with his quickness and speed. I don't think he'll every be bouncing out of the building again but he is a point guard in the final year and he just might fuck around and turn up.
I'd rather get Gasol than Howard, I really hope we don't blow the 35 mill cap on him.

Pau needs to come back to the golden state

I want to see something happen in the East with trades, drafts, what have you. All the power can't be shifted to one side. This Finals was good but you can't expect the underdog to stand a chance every year.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

The East has been dog shit since Jordan retired. This ain't new

 

[Danielson]

Heat, Celtics and pistons had nice runs tbh but even then you can lock up the eastern conference pick every year. Spoiler alert: Cavs

I don't ever think lebron is the underdog. I have a hard time betting against him regardless of the opponent . I think that's why ppl hate him, he's lost me a cpl bands. I've never bet against him in a final

They've had good teams but never any depth or anything comparable to the west

The Spurs alone have been an issue for the East for how many years now? idk how they are good every year.

Lebron is not, but the Cavs were considered the underdogs. The West seems to always have the power. Not to say that takes away the Heats two championship wins, but collectively, the West has more. They have been strong for the last 17 years and I honestly want to see it even out again. The Celtics are second in most championships to the Lakers, sure but they are nothing anymore. I am not into basketball stats as much as others so I may be missing something but I can't help but notice that the West has dominated the East since at least 1999.

I don't understand what is going on inside these GM's heads when they give Noah and Mozgov 65-70 mil.

 

[Nick]

Mike Conley just got the biggest contract in NBA history lol wtf

 

[Jeremy]

The amount of money that got thrown around yesterday was insane. Mike Conley who has never made an all-star game or anything got 5 years, 150 mil.

:nooo:
