Stories like this lend a shit-ton of credence to the various rumblings, that periodically come out, indicating star players do not want to go to LA specifically because of Lebron.

they are also guaranteed to spend like 5/6 more articles talking about this tire fire over, say, I don’t know... NO looking like they might be interesting and turning a corner into competence? LAC clearly being the better organization in the city?

The argument was that the Pelicans were a shitty selfish organization for not trading him for pennies on the dollar with 18 months left in his contract, because he “deserved” to be allowed to screw over the franchise he agreed to play for because they hadn’t had playoff success.

It was a truly garbage series of takes.

I’m surprised that more players don't make this move.  The distance is inconvenient, but he shares a language with the country and he'll make money instead of pretending to be a student.  

Kidd is a certifiably terrible coach, and even worse he’s a back stabbing schemer who now has the perfect environment to pull off his toxic machinations. This is an awful situation.

This is a smart decision. He’ll get to play against arguably better overall competition in a league whose structure and approach to games is more similar to the NBA.

I love focusing on bottom of the barrel lottery team dysfunction during the run-up of the NBA Finals.

Deadspin today: Rich Paul acted in a very strange way for an agent! It is indicative of a huge mess in Lakerland!

I’m not sure about the relative quality of the Nepalese judicial system, but I’m guessing even there you can’t sue a mountain.

dammit crack horse he’s a doctor not a miracle worker

What treatment do you recommend the doctor administer to the dead woman?

Phsaw. All the zones have names like that in the Galaxy of Terror.

I imagine part of the allure of climbing Everest was not just it being the highest point on Earth yet the now antiquated belief that so few people could actually do it.

Of course she knew. It was clear from the onset. She was asked to pose for fake rowing photos, for goodness sake.

If she was really interested in her education, she could find a good community college, do well there and transfer to a university after a couple of years. I’m guessing that won’t happen.

Her best bet would be to attend a couple of years at a local community college, then see if she can find a college/university that will accept her credit hours. She might even be able to get a four-year degree at the community college, since some of them are doing that.

Went to USC. Hated it. Trash school with trash faculty.

All she has to do is make it look like she’s going to USC but without ever actually saying she’s a USC student. Like on her Instagram, write stuff like #fighton or “much love to the class of 2022" which makes it sound like she goes to school there even though she…
