They drug out Clyde and Hakeem with Harden and the rest for Bazemore.
You almost gotta sign after that.

Listen, b. Did I argue to the contrary about Beal's time missed? Nope. You're formulating an argument against something I never said.
Did Steph Curry overcome ankle injuries to become somewhat durable? Yes. There isn't even a debate there.
Can Beal do the same and become relatively healthy for a full season? Who knows? However, it isn't out of the realm of possibility.
The max deal was essentially given out of good faith. Same thing happened with Wall when he signed his contract a few years back.
Everyone knows that Beal is brittle...but there is hope that he can live up to the deal by playing in the majority of the games for the duration of the contract.
He's got to stay on the court. You can't help some injuries. It's bad luck for some, and others (like Andre Miller) defy logic with how they've been able to maintain a string of good health over the years while admitting they don't take care of their bodies when out of season.
It's a wait and see with Beal, and he deserves the scrutiny due to his injury history. However, for this team to have better success, they need both he and Wall on the court playing at a high level.

Did Hakeem say he was going to give Baze a discount to come to his post game school?

I really think there could be a gif of Lin stuffing Rose in every uniform he's been in
They'll just be re-signing Hibbert

Jarrett Jack worried about Lin contract when he about to turn 33 and is dressed like a high school sophomore in his Twitter avy.

Looking at next year's Center Free Agents... Guys like Gobert, Adams, Noel, Len are all restricted, and 2 of the 4 are not happening even with a max. Len likely isn't going to happen either for anything but the max, but wouldn't surprise me if he ends up at a little less. And it's dangerous putting all your cards on Noel, and having not a damn clue what team he will be on, or if the Sixers have to match simply for lack of other contracts
Leaves you with Bogut, Olynyk (Restricted), Greg Monroe, Mason Plumlee (restricted)
I think what ended up happening for the Lakers once they were out of the Whiteside chase. Was like looking for the deck chairs in the Titanic as it was going down.

One of the biggest mistakes a team can make is spending $$ just to spend it ...ALWAYS comes back to haunt the team

This is completely off topic but maybe somebody could answer this for me...
Are they gonna have these scrubs host First Take until they find a replacement for Skip?

Yup.
I wouldn't be surprised if eventually they axe the show, and just give Stephen A. his own show in the AM

I would throw a max at Nerlens before I give Moz that deal.
Or you just wait until Boogie is available at the trade deadline.
Lakers should be trying to be terrible next year for that top 3 protected pick, this move handicaps their future * probably makes them just good enough to lose the draft pick.
You're right that once they were out of the Whiteside chase they overreacted, they didn't need to make a move, this reeks of desperation.

You know what's crazy...if you look at the advanced metrics, Porter compared VERY well to Nic Batum last year. This is part of the reason why I didn't understand the Wizards wanting to make a push for him.
Anyways, this Beal contract was a foregone conclusion. I'm not mad about it and all we can do is hope that he stays healthy. Hard to believe he just turned 23 a few days ago.

Beal does have age on his side, too bad his right leg is already 68 years old though.

Not mad at Beal's deal. Didn't deserve more than Derozan that's for sure. Pray to God he's over the nagging injuries and takes that all star leap next season and beyond. Wizards really have no other options, no one wants to come here so you gotta build from within
Stephen A is on vacation, rumor is Max Kellerman will be the new replacement. He's not bad and knows his **** ESPECIALLY about boxing

Wish the Knicks would go after Fournier and Bazemore. Don't care how much they throw at them.

I remember when base was riding the dubs bench, making like $40 dollars a year, making up new celebrations. Perfect example of you life could always drastically change

Jeremy Lin>>>>>Jarrett Jack.
Jeremy Lin is what people THINK Jarret Jack is.
Jarret Jack does this weird thing where every time he's on the court your team is significantly worse.

Orlando will match any deal on Fournier but they should have been all in on Bazemore.
