The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

Americans have a problem with gluttony, beer and alcohol consumption makes it worse too.

People eating large portions of food when it really doesn’t call for it. People slopping all that extra food on their plates is the problem

Zion really represents U.S. values

Is Zion a patriot?

Baseball is crazy man...

He’s giving the owner a $680M loan with zero interest This is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve seen

 

[pmatic]

Haliburton with three turnovers vs the Pistons already. The Lakers broke him.

I said this and people told me I was tripping.

Real back on the envelope math, but if you take 3% inflation rate (its 3.24% today).. $68M is worth only $37M in 20 years... years 10-20 $50M or less. so thats giving away $18M per year to inflation minimum up to $30M in year 20. Years 10-20 loss of purchasing power due to inflation (and not interest earned) is ~$265M... THEN he's gonna get taxed on it. Madness.

Its crazy dog. Bad finance from top to bottom. Ripping that man off.

This is sort of what we’re talking about in the MLB thread.

As a Union you don’t/can’t accept this.

The PA has stepped up before to stopped deals for players getting traded because they restructured to “take less”.

But there maybe a loophole where the MLBPA can’t do anything about this particular situation.

The Wizards really gave up 43 in a quarter on 60%. I may not finish this game.

Massive tax implications though. Can never fully evaluate anything involving this amount of money without tax considerations.

I thought about this as well. Japan and the US have a tax treaty but not an exemption so its still going to be taxed somewhere for something. Hopefully, theres an estate attorney involved cause at a high level I do not like it.

Inflation alone is a killer on this.

do the spurs not wake up Pop after his halftime nap ?

 

[antidope]

Worst 3rd quarter team I've ever seen. Every game I expect us to lose it.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Grimes is on

Ohtani telling the Dodgers' owners to put his money in a Susu is wild to me

Gonna ask my 90-year-old Caribbean grandmother if she is Ohtani's financial manager

 

[Coupé It]

Shout out to Wemby and his pre-game routine.

 

[moderndarwin]

I would defer $10. Who defers that much money that’s truly nuts anything can happen between now and then.

The justification is that he’s sacrificing to win now and for multiple years to come by making easier for his team to get talent.

Which is what fans love.

Embiid resting the 4th again

 

[antidope]

Shot quality is just a fake thing now for the Spurs. I can't imagine they play past the ASB like this.

 

[B Sox]

After signing the biggest contract in sports history, I have a very hard time believing Ohtani doesn’t have an incredibly intelligent wealth manager that is aware of the tax implications and loopholes. I’m sure there was some math done

Don’t think he’s just doing a solid to the Dodgers front office.

You would be surprised how many athletes STILL don't do these things. Even when the leagues bring in firms every summer to talk about these things.
