Well, one year of Lopez is not an option — he already opted out. We’re either getting him for the long term or not getting him at all (though most expect him to resign with the Nets).

Honestly, how many Nets games did you actually watch this year? The idea of Plumlee potentially being the cornerstone of a franchise is silly.
Lopez opted out of the last year of his deal so that he could sign a long-term max contract. Brooklyn can offer him more money than anyone else. Whether or not Lopez is worth a max contract is a separate question entirely, but obviously they wouldn’t have done this move if they didn’t expect Lopez to resign.
As an actual Nets fan (we exist) who has watched Plumlee play, this article is idiotic. As with any trade, it’s impossible to know for sure how it will pan out — but it is certainly a move that makes sense. There is a reason that Chad Ford, one of the harshest Billy King critics in the world, gave the Nets an A- for…
It’s not beyond dumb. It’s incredibly accurate if you’ve ever seen the Nets play. Lopez and Plumlee together had one of the worst +/- in the league.
What a sneaky attack.
That’s kind of an antiquated criticism. This isn’t the era of Ivanisevic and Michael Stich winning grand slams based on serves and nothing else (or Sampras setting records based on his serve and volley game). Check out this list of grand slam champions over the last 16 years — just a handful of dominant servers among…
Actually, I meant “lead,” as in “lead bullet.” It was a pun, you see.
In your defense, the article really buries the lede. It could, and should, have made clear upfront that Hamilton is the apparent victim, not the perpetrator.
Police have identified former MLB player Darryl Hamilton and his wife, Monica Jordan, as the victims of what appears to be a murder-suicide
I mean, the keeper made an amazing save. The flattening of the Colombian was incidental.
The fact that you can’t even concede that calling them “women” would be completely unobjectionable — it’s just “heading in the right direction” — tells me everything that I need to know. So apparently calling female soccer players “women” is potentially problematic, and you’ll read misogyny into any other synonym.…
Legler referring to the German women as “those young ladies” is where the misogynistic angle comes into play.
Thanks for telling me what my point was. I could have cared less whether Legler’s analysis was right or wrong, the only thing that mattered to me was that it was not misogynistic, and the same thing would likely have been said (correctly or incorrectly) about male soccer players.
Not wanting to get hit in the face is a stereotypically feminine attitude? I think it’s a stereotypically human attitude. You’re reaching.
That’s all very interesting, and suggests that Tim Legler’s comment shows a lack of soccer knowledge, but not misogyny (which was the point of my post). You should take it up with Tim Legler.
I agree. Which is why I said that Smith’s comment was inexcusable. Thanks for reading.
Tim Legler, also on set, wasn’t much better with his “those young ladies didn’t want to catch one in the grill.”
Fat-shaming is cool when it’s someone we don’t like. Noted.
Ramsay was being nice (relatively) nice to her before because he needed her to marry him to solidify the Bolton’s grasp on the North. Once she did so, all he needed to do was consummate the marriage, by whatever means necessary.
