Well I mean...no I thought you were saying...she’s a woman, and so she probably has a vagina I’m guessing...and ahhhhh....well we don’t know each other very well so this is kind of embarrassing, but....I think it’s kind of....I like the though of being near a girl’s....you know....va.....gi.....forget it, no. It’s…

You know it. Because it’s right near her vagina. That’s a place that is a good place to be.

Yeah that was just sand, right?

My internal monologue says “While you’re here, feel free to rub one out,” literally every time I’m in any room by myself.

I do have to get to Legoland. That is no joke.

It’s important to have a consistent organizational philosophy. Manage the draft, cap, and front office the way Andy Reid manages the clock. Gotta have that red thread.

Inviting the new local sports celebs to the Plymouth Meeting Mall is not a great way of encouraging a long-term stay in the area.

I think I pretty clearly said Butler was a great fit for Minnesota, who has two other awesome young cornerstone players that are maybe both better than he is.

I completely agree that in theory, the best approach for any supremely talented player is to understand and trust the long game and get a huge insurance policy against injuries.

I agree that it seems the Bulls should have gotten something more for Butler, and I think Butler is excellent. But how franchise-altering a player is Jimmy Butler? Can a team with Jimmy Butler as its best player be an NBA championship team?

Jackson may not have wanted to go to Boston because Jaylen Brown and Jae Crowder are already there and he (as you say, probably correctly) wants to get enough run to make a name for himself right away.

Sam Hinkie was GM for three years in Philadelphia and collected a number of high draft picks while putting teams on the floor that compiled a .191 winning percentage over the course of three years. It was probably the most atrocious three-year on-court/field performance of any pro sports team in US history. In the…

And an NBA title as an executive.

This is not a correct take. The Celtics DID bottom out, it just only lasted one year. Ainge had all the “political capital” needed to rebuild the organization however he wanted.

George they would only get with existing roster talent and non-premium first rounders because he’s a one-year rental with no long-term guarantee.

I agree with you that aging out Golden State and Cleveland is the plan; I don’t, however, believe they turned down Butler-for-the-third straight up. That is not plausible to me. I saw the report too but I say no way.

STOP comparing the work of Danny Ainge, who has won an NBA title and is coming off a 55-win season, to Sam fucking Hingis. Fucking-ass stop it.

You’re right. There is zero guarantee any picks will turn out all-NBA. It is also not absurd to project Jaylen Brown as being on a Jimmy Butler path. He showed more this year as rookie after one year of college than Butler did as a rookie after three years of college, and is more athletic than Butler, who is very…

I think you leave out though, that having, say, the number three pick in consecutive drafts is in most cases preferable to having the number one pick in a single draft.

No they aren’t. The Dodgers took on the entirety of Crawford’s contract in the trade, and ate the final $35 million of it when they cut him. The most ever eaten by an MLB team with a single cut.
