It’s a joke/meme based on a Twitter post KD made a couple weeks ago

My fault. Sorry just a little edgy right now. Work sucks.

Do the Sixers have any funds (or the ability to create room) to sign Demarcus Cousins? A few articles out there today about interest and fit.
The minimum would probably do it.
Long Ball Larry

They are already at 16 players and have to cut someone. They would have to cut 2 people to bring him in. Assuming he would take the minimum, they could do it, but seems like it would be a waste of time for the sixers. They need to be giving Bassey and Reed more time (not that doc wouldn't love to have another veteran he can jam in there).

I feel bad for the guy but it’s also astonishing people thought he could hold up with that body. Mostly dopes like @Frostillicus

He was looking a lot better than I expected and putting up good numbers. Hope it's not too serious.

Two of his first 3 games are against the future champs, so he's faking this injury to avoid getting dunked on by Ant-man.

I don't remember if anyone posted about it, but Jayson Tatum came out and said he went through the playoffs playing with a broken wrist and re-aggravated it in the Bucks series. Had to get cortisone shots to deal with the pain. Maybe that impacted his play, maybe it didn't. But his efficiency certainly dipped (and his turnovers went up) the further Boston progressed in the post-season.
I have a hard time trying to evaluate something like this. It wasn't so bad that he couldn't play. And the Celtics couldn't afford for him to sit. Also hard to tell how serious a break it was. He said a piece of bone chipped off. Wore a brace everyday for months including shootarounds but never when there were cameras or media present. Does this change people's opinion of Tatum any?

Broken wrist, but looked like he was tased with a cattle prod anytime he got nudged near his shoulder.

THT isn't bringing back a Superstar?!?!?!?!?!?! 
The Lakers are in advanced talks to acquire PG Patrick Beverley from the Jazz for Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson, per Woj.
So instead of getting Kyrie Irving, the Lakers are now looking at pairing Westbrook and Beverley together, which is hilarious. Beverley and Russ are legendary rivals and Beverley is responsible for some of Westbrook's knee damage. Maybe this is the move that will finally free the Lakers of Westbrook, but don't hold your breath. Teaming Westy and PBev together would give the Lakers some leverage in competing with the KD/Kyrie/Simmons drama in Brooklyn for a soap opera Emmy. And if they stay in L.A. together, both of their values will take a hit. Stay tuned.

Tatum is a long-term perennial all-star who works on his game in the off-season, plays hard on both ends, rebounds and stays out of trouble. Guys around the league talk him up and he stood out on team USA. He is likely to avg 25/8/5 for the next several years.
Anyone talking him down are just rabid anti-Bostonites.

Can’t imagine Lakers do this deal without also being close on a Westbrook deal (hoping for the Pacers deal).THT isn't bringing back a Superstar?!?!?!?!?!?!

Also guessing this means Lakers aren’t getting involved in a Mitchell to the Knicks deal that I’ve been seeing some rumors of.

This is the first good move the Lakers have made in, um, a long time (Beverley and Westbrook issues aside). When's the last time they actually got a good rotation player who can both defend and play defense whose overall attitude will fit it with Lebron and AD? And they still have their two picks they can try to move with WB to get........something.
I thought it sounded like an excuse. I'm not anti-Boston and in fact I was rooting hard for them to beat the Warriors.

Jayrod

Until the Finals, he hadn't shrunk back or looked bad at all. I know Wiggins plays good defense, but he's not Dennis Rodman or Gary Payton out there. Tatum had handled everything anyone threw at him until the last series.
The late, great @wikkidpissah was fairly certain that after the Finals we would hear about an injury, although wikkid thought it was his shoulder.
Jayrod

What we all feared. Stick men and fatties don't seem to hold up to the NBA game, it is just too physically demanding. Courts are bigger, the pace is faster and the opponents are bigger/faster/stronger.
It really is idiotic, with how much $$$ is on the line, that these teams don’t already prohibit this.

But it's his foot. Seems more like a fluke than a "can't hold up against bigger men" type of thing.

I just saw the replay of when it happened. Was against LeBron but had nothing to do with size or muscle. Just an untouched jump where he landed wrong.

Most likely it wasn’t from the wrong landing. Most likely it was from when he was stepping back and then tried to quickly change direction. The court did have moisture on it (they ended up cancelling the game later due to it)—so that may have played a small role in it.

That's a shame. I can't say it's surprising as most of us called out his fragility but even I thought he'd at least last a game.

Yeah, seems like every 5-10 years you'll get one of these guys (Zion, Brow, Lebron, Duncan, etc). Definitely not a yearly occurrence.

Love the victory laps about Chet here. Like he tried to take a charge and disintegrated from the contact. It is a foot injury that could happen to any athlete.His foot did seem a little too skinny.Geez, who could've possibly seen a super tall dude with zero muscle mass getting injured?

Why would they? How else do you train to get into basketball shape and get better? They need to play ball.

Also, it was a sanctioned NBA event so Chet won’t have any risk to his salary/contract like he would if it happened at a non-sanctioned event.

Sam Presti on Chet’s skinny frame being a factor: “It’s an acute injury, it’s an impact injury. It’s a figment of the alternate reality of the Internet. But it’s not reality.” Other words, no his frame had nothing to do with it.
