Don’t bring the kids to the internet. Why is someone interrogating a kid, then recording it, and posting it on the internet?

Nothing wrong with proof. Sucks for little man but he doesn’t need to see his moms getting beat up.

Pretty shocked that was posted on social media. Gotta get Bridges all the way out the paint though.

This should be televised.

Rubio was great before he got hurt last year.

3 year 18M

I’ll take it.

 

[pums]

Bridges doesnt deserve any sympathy

Waking up to the Gary Payton news.

There are two main parts of the CBA - the supermax to help smaller markets keep their stars, young guys just aren’t turning down $250+M contracts.

And the luxury tax, specifically the repeater clause.

Lost in the discussion after the warriors won is that to bring everyone back the luxury tax penalties would push the payroll north of $400M. Year after that to go for a 3 peat they’re knocking on $500M

Balmer is the only guy in the league who would pay that.

Homie deleted the tweet. Essentially you can't say the tax bill is too high while also bragging about 400 million in revenue.

They also must have faith in being able to find another diamond in the rough.

Owners going to get rid of that supermax in the CBA. These numbers are outrageous.

I still am in full support of having more PE guys or a guy like Jeff Bezosor someone on that wealth level get their hands on an NBA team. We've seen what happens when an owner is really willing to spend and is committed to the team.

The NBA has too many "this is a side project" guys in it right now.

HYPOTHETICALLY speaking, if the Hornets pulled the qualifying offer from Miles Bridges and made him an unrestricted free agent, would another team sign him and how soon?

When Poole was starting to breakout we were having some discussion on this. The reports were that they wanted to get the extension done this summer which had implications

I was saying it was going to be a problem bringing everyone back despite whatever Lacob was saying about spending

Now we watch to see what they do with Wiggins Poole looney and otto

Love that rubio deal for the cavs. They should be a too seed in the east

I agree. However, everyone has a breaking point. She has clearly had enough and long time victims are usually so psychologically scarred that they end up pushing the red button with no ****s given and zero regret.

He would get signed when there's another news story that pushes Bridges' to the back burner.

History shows sports teams will take a PR hit if it means winning games.

KD gonna be chasing this validation he wants his whole career.

 

[shuges]

Kevin Wildes earlier this am suggested Marks go to Pop and offer a blank check to come and coach Kyrie and KD. Says his San Antonio connection is a Hail Mary that just might work. He feels as if Pop may be willing since the Spurs are in rebuild mode and this could be Pop's swan song.

And of course, Durant obviously played for Pop with Team USA.

Screw it, do it Sean.
