Best Looking? is Women's Basketball short of hot women that they have these midtier chicks considered their best they could offer?

They look like transvestites

The level of dirt ball being played with Jimmy/Bam/Dubious would be absurd

Lower than dirt they would play scumbag ball

The lakers package for Russ is going to be better than what the Wizards end up getting for Beal

Think players shot themselves in the foot this CBA. That second apron really hurts and teams aren't going to go past it.
Before: luxury tax- owners say F it, I'll pay the extra tax and pay my guys more
Now: don't go past the second apron or you'll lose access to the taxpayer mid-level exception, prevented from signing a player waived during the regular season if that player's pre-waiver salary was larger than the non-taxpayer midlevel exception (about $10.5 million this past season), the salary-matching exception will be reduced from within 125 percent to 110 percent. Starting in the summer of 2024, any team "over the second apron will no longer be able to aggregate salaries to trade for a single player making more money, Teams over the second apron won't be able to include cash in trades. Continuously going over the second apron will also have major draft ramifications, and teams that go $10 million above the tax threshold will face far greater financial penalties.

They unintentionally agreed to a hard cap, when before it was a soft cap that was ignored and let guys get paid more. NBA players still getting paid bank of course, but this CBA was one step back. CJ McCollum got played

Found @Coupé It's burner

Would Randle get all his NO yambs aswel as his minutes?

First off Zion would be BBQ chicken in NY media. You think Ja Morant was bad, Zion will say hold my beer, I got this. If his family care about him, Hell no to NY. Send that man to Purgatory in Portland.

Buying that family a washer/dryer was a very altruistic deed but the timing of is hilarious and makes me feel like he’s trolling the internet



Man is worth 9 figures and picked up a part time job at a hardware store for some yambs. There’s level to this ****.

Really can't believe the Player's Union agreed to that CBA.

Seems like it is just gonna lay the foundation for a big fight during the next round of negotiations

Would that Herro/Robinson package be available for Cryrie? I’d do that if I’m Dallas. Very least it gives them some more ammo for other moves.

Oof. If I’m Miami I stay away from that especially if beal and dame are really on the table

 

[ballinsam23]

Miami can get any of those 3 imo. Kyrie probably Plan C.

Good addition. Could always use a big body defender for international play.

tbh this makes me concerned about his mental health.

like that's one of the more delusional comments i've heard from a player.

Embiid needs to join team USA for 2024

World team/France too crowded

He’s manifesting.

 

[storm2006]

KAT made two third team All-NBAs, signed a super max contract and now thinks he's the same tier as Jokic

Was genuinely curious as to how they could pull this off and the article doesn’t mention anything about how it would be realistically possible . Probably because it can’t.

 

[aepps20]

The type of player I want representing .
