More accurately, it’s like saying that other Olympic track and field programs should not expect Usain Bolt to hop on one foot.

You need to keep up with current events.

Right, for a bunch of reasons he would be more likely to stick around in Boston than in Denver, which limits how much the Nuggets would give up for him.

Let’s not go crazy — Portland had some help from the Clippers turning into a MASH unit, and Dwight averaged 19/14/2.5 in the 2015 playoffs.

Except that they wouldn’t have Durant if he wasn’t their unlimited player, and they would still have to beat Cleveland (and every other team) for LeBron, plus they would end up losing Steph.

You’re right, actually — I was being too quick in my reaction. While OP meant he’s a guy who will (probably) get max money, you meant he wasn’t a guy who played like he deserved it, and I failed to make the distinction.

Boston honestly is the only team that could give OKC a lot without really hurting what they have — say the Nets pick, Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart and/or Isaiah Thomas.

I like the Cornerstone variation on that, where a team can pay a guy like Wade, Duncan, Nowitzki, Kobe something crazy, even if it’s a reward for past performance, with only a portion of it counting against the cap.

I think the idea is that those guys would be spread out more evenly and there would be no more super teams. And yes, there are plenty of arguments for and against this idea.

A world where Allen Crabbe makes $18 million a year.

Trading Adams and ‘Dipo for Boogie just makes too much sense for both teams. Get it done!

Newy Scruggs can’t be a real person.

So it’s the politics version of “Springtime for Hitler.”

And Sheed and, especially, healthy Amare.

Oh yeah but ringz! Oh, wait ...

The whole point of a hashtag is for people to use it to spread awareness under a common term. WTF USOC?

For christ’s sakes, do you guys think through how the headlines are going to play *at all.* Just look at this mess.

I loved your draft!

And the thing is, they’ll be much happier with that in the long run than the team that drops $18-20 million on Ryan Anderson or $15-17 on Jeff Green.
