Big Trade coming? Per IT?
IT doesn’t do this often for sure, Maybe he heard a proctologist’s opinion on Kevin Love? Maybe he and Lebron hung with Dewayne Wade? Perhaps Euro’s are in fact coming over? Avery Bradley is actually healthy? Olynck showed up at the All-Star game? WestBrook said he doesn’t give a crap about money, he just wants to beat Durant? IT told WestBrook he would have easily made that dunk? Vlade is actually a genius? Gentry is coming to Boston sooner than expected?
