NBA All-Rookie Team

in honor of the period beginning, I decided to go back and look at the best free agent signings since 2000 for each team. Today, we look at the Eastern Conference and we’ll tackle the Western Conference next week. First off, I should clarify a few things. For the sake of this exercise, I will be including sign and trades. Originally I considered excluding S&T’s but this would all seem ridiculous if I didn’t include the likes of LeBron James taking his…

chance to reunite with his old buddy, Larry Nance Jr., who the Lakers traded to Cleveland at the deadline. "Saturday, he was over for probably 12 hours," Hart recalls. "Me, him and two other friends had four TVs in my living room, four different Xboxes, all playing as one squad." Indeed, Fortnite has helped Nance and Hart stay close despite the trade.

To make it out and see a little more than just your environment. I think that right there makes us have something in common.
