  1. OKC could have offered him more money keep him, it's that fucking simple. Simply pull some money out of their billionaire owner's pocket to cover the tax for a few seasons, and they would have been fine as other less important contracts dropped off the books. Instead, they offered him some low-ball like 4 years 52m, which would have put OKC just under the tax line. Harden he rejected it, and rightly so as he got 4 year 80m deal from Houston. So the Thunder traded him in the offseason when he had a lot of value, and got a good haul for him. They also had the option to let him play out that last year on his rookie deal for cheap, let him prove himself, and then see if it's worth matching whatever he got as an RFA the next year. That's what I would have done if I were the GM, as they were a rising young team and another year of playing together could have made the difference.
  2. Why go for him when Rick Carlyle could be had for the same price?
  3. Could maybe send Brooks, Whitmore and #10 to get 2 years of Cam Johnson. That would be an upgrade on offense, but a drop on defense. I would prefer to work a deal to send Green out for him, but I can't imagine the Nets would go for that.
  4. You have to think the Knicks already have a coach in mind if they fired Thibs after a great season. Or maybe not, since it's Dolan...
  5. For those of you who don't want to see dozens of Russian planes being exploded by drones, don't click this link: https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/s/LPNNbukWnl Fucking amazing. Forget making Canada the 51st state, let's add Ukraine.
  6. I expect it to cost an ungodly amount, and when that bill becomes an issue in a year or two, he pivots to protect only southern Florida with it, and call it "Cost Savings, Small Government!"
  7. This drone attack is so awesome to read about and see amateur footage from civilians. A couple more attacks like that and the Russians won't have an air force left. It will be interesting to see how Putin responds, they have plenty more weapons to use. We could be in for a wild escalation over the next few days.
  8. Happy Pride month to those who celebrate
  9. The FAA didn't like his show, and he got a long interview on CNN about it. Pretty funny in the Nathan-way. I don't believe Wolf for a second that he watched the show.
  10. If Trump is running again, Obama should be in play...
  11. And only 6 free throws. That's a Jokic statline right there.
  12. Yeah, I agree, I just thought if you were gonna call a foul on that play, thinking KAT pulled him down might make some sense. Hart was barely into the paint when they blew the whistle, not much contact at all.
  13. How is that a foul on Hart? Surely they got the wrong guy and it should be KAT? Right?
  14. "And he is SO GOOD at reacting to that contact!" lol... Crowd chanting "FLOPPER" over and over is great.
  15. I didn't want to read this thread until I finished season 2, and wow was it worth it. What an incredibly good show, the best of anything Star Wars since 1981. Well done characters, motivations, acting, pacing, direction and beautiful settings that didn't overwhelm you with CGI. Everything you could ask for in the "how did the Rebellion come about?" series. I love the feeling of the hopelessness and tension in many of the scenes. Great intrigue throughout, lots of unknown outcomes and unexpected twists, excellent weaving of multiple storylines together without getting hung up on a single one. Even the villains were likeable in the sense that you understood their motives and what drives them. I loved seeing how the ISB works and how they plan and execute their tasks. The actors were great, excellent casting choices, and Mendelsohn was absolutely perfect. He has a gravitas about him that was took over every scene he was in. Dedra was a great choice too, so ambitious to move up the ladder only to be left humiliated, ashamed, broken and sentenced to a death camp. Just an incredible rollercoaster of a ride with her story. I hope there is not only more of it, but more of this style of Star Wars, gritty, harsh, tense and lots of difficult situations with just a few glimmers of hope sprinkled in here and there.
  16. Nice job to tie it up. This is a must-win game for Minny. It's gonna be tough, but they can pull it off.
  17. I think the more surprising thing is that Thibbs was willing to give any starters more than 10 minutes of rest. Pacers were terrible from deep, shooting 5-25 collectively. They usually hit 30% easily, and often in the past few weeks 40-50% as a team. Just a couple of those 3s going in may have made the difference, but shit happens.
  18. Probably because he has 5 fouls, but still kinda dumb.
  19. Wow, what a great block only to have it removed by a shit call. Siakam was getting hammered on the other end trying to post up and doesn't get anything called either. Fucking lame.
  20. That looked like a charge to me...
