Is there a backstory to the C's vs Heat animosity or is it just because of this current series? Some of the stuff I've read online seems very visceral
Pierce-Bron?
See also the Pat Riley Lakers connections and you see how some of the more homerrific Bostonians and ex-players project 'dreaded nemesis' energy at the Heat.
Is it not more simple in that they've now met in 3 of the last 4 ECFs? Familiarity breeds contempt. Although with all 3 winners of those matchups failing in the Finals, the rivalry doesn't quite reach Pistons-Bulls from the later 80s/early 90s.

I'm loving all the videos of Jokic just not giving a **** although how some commentators are spinning it about European players being better than US ones is BS and has racist undertones.

Seeing Perk on ESPN boils my piss after the bs he pulled regarding Jok and Embiid. I refuse to watch it when he's on.

On the other hand, a few months without Mark Jackson in my life is going to be quite nice.

Giving the supermax to Wall and Beal was unbelievably stupid by the Wizards

One rumour is that CP3 will end up at the Lakers
Beal's contract is nasty af

2023/24 - $46,741,590
2024/25 - $50,203,930
2025/26 - $53,666,270
2026/27 - $57,128, 610 (P)

Ishbia giving no ****s here, commendable

Looks like they're trying to find a 3rd team to send CP3 to a contender. Might not be finalised for a few days yet

A lot of offensive prowess on paper with those three...having said that, no real ball-handler and not much depth...

Beal to Phoenix for CP3, Shamet and some picks then

Picks from where?

Apparently Wizards ownership was quite cool with the team being mediocre. At least that is what their SB Nation bloggers are convinced is the case.

BARNES OUT
It's not going to get them over the hump (IMO) but with the changes coming in the CBA it was definitely the right move for them to make. Once the league year ticks over they wouldn't have been able to add anyone half as good as Beal, may as well do it. They weren't getting Lillard so it's literally the best they could add.
