  1. I don’t think Cam has played enough to figure out what they have yet.the assumption is he’ll get a ton of minutes with Green gone. I dunno. He doesn’t defend well and he’s butted heads with Ime for a couple of years now. Obviously they either have to play him a lot more or trade him.
  2. White is one of the better and relatively cheaper players. I don’t see. They’ll exhaust options to deal Holiday and Brown first.
  3. Booker is going to ask out after next season. I’m sure the Rockets will be on the buyers list.
  4. Funny but you make a good point. They have enough money in expiring contracts to acquire a really good veteran.
  5. Oh it gets better. https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/suns-not-planning-to-trade-jalen-green-after-acquiring-high-scoring-guard-in-kevin-durant-deal-per-report/
  6. The afternoon national guy on 790 is horrifically bad. He’ll have a NFL expert on to talk the Eagles, and before they get started he’ll ask about the Lakers sale.
  7. Green needed to go after that playoff series, but I wish him well. Wizards would be a good fit. Unlimited shots for the next 2 years while he plays out his current deal and they rebuild their roster.
  8. A rare correct prediction from Bill Simmons. I guess one had to stick.
  9. Doesn’t happen without San Antonio getting cute as shit. Thank you Spurs. Enjoy your overrated food and smelly ass river.
  10. I’m guessing the B2’s flew out of Diego Garcia.
  11. Israel needs a strategic bomber. Surely we have something in mothballs we can sell them. But we did the heavy lifting here. Should make for cool TV for a couple days.
  12. The Bailey stuff is wild. We’re 5 days out and Zach Lowe and Mahoney have no idea what’s going on him. The consensus theory was that he wants to go to Brooklyn at 8. If true, I hope his agents enjoy a 38% smaller commission.
  13. Because this thread is a safe place, I’ll say it here. San Antonio is being overly cute if the price for KD is just Vassell, Barnes, and the 14th pick. Barnes plays the same position and Vassell’s numbers only look good because he got a shit ton more shots after Wemby went down. 14 is a rounding error in their current pick portfolio. They’re going to need KD’s scoring punch when Wemby inevitably goes out with one of extremely tall person injuries I can understand the Rockets protecting Jabari. He’s a plus defender and quietly became their best 3 point shooter. One of the few positives from the GSW series. The Rockets could really use KD’s bucket getting ability, but I’m not sure he’s worth Jabari’s upside at 22.
  14. The Bailey thing is hard to figure unless the Spurs told him they were taking him. This almost certainly didn’t happen, so it’s conspiracy theory agent time. Let’s say his people want him in DC. That’s a $13 million haircut. If his people want him in hometown Atlanta, it’s a $19 million haircut. Telling the Sixers to screw is some very wild shit.
  15. If they were very bold they’d let FVV walk and sign Schroeder for like 3 years $45 million. But… FVV is Ime’s guy, so both sides are probably looking for something mutually beneficial.
  16. Given the week we’ve had, a couple public commitments would be great.
  17. I think 7 is worth it if you already have Paramount+. Excellent motorcycle and skydiving stunts. Decent twists too. But I agree with general premise. Nobody wants to watch 150 minutes of stunts. Needs dialogue and humor.
  18. I want to believe. The newest episode of Game Theory pretty much said Jabari or bust. That would be not great given his defensive metrics. I think Ishbia is a stubborn dumb fuck and he runs it back with KD yet again. The guy has gone on and on about not wanting to tank. Going so far as to basically call Game Theory and their listeners GM nerds. Meanwhile, his best player Booker has said he doesn’t want to be on a rebuilding team. Ishbia might need to need to keep KD or get an overwhelming package back to keep Booker happy. I think they’d accept the Twolves thirsty offer of Gobert, Dillingham, and the other the 17th pick. But KD has made it clear he won’t resign there. He’s a lot like us. He’s just trying to get home to Austin.
  19. “Four fried chickens and a Coke. And dry white toast.”
  20. If they can knock FVV down to the 3 years $75 million that’s good for the team, a very tradeable contract, and frankly around what he deserves. My concern is they give him 3 for $90 million and he’s radioactive until 2028.
  21. Them dancing as an old couple always makes me first 5 minutes of Up sad. Such a beautiful, tragic scene. It’s the end of Cheers Part I for me.
  22. This is sublime. Worth the money in my opinion.
  23. Cliffs? It’s behind a paywall.
