Its a CBA, a form of employees expressing power through joint action in a capitalist system, not socialism.

I don’t know if this is all true, but I want it to be.  

Seems a bit garish to focus on money, but its important. He is on a 4 year / $7,523,278 contract, set to expire in 2021 when he is 26. The way he was playing, he stood to make a LOT of money when he hit that point (or via early extension). Now that future is at least a little in question.

But Paul George made a strong…

On the one hand, it makes no sense.  On the other, I listen to Richard Deitsch’s podcast, and numerous guests have confirmed that articles concerning Francesa really drive traffic.  And like you, here I am. 

It wasn’t all that long ago that he was *still* pretty good at closing games for the Knicks.  But I think he may have peaked at Syracuse, and we just didn’t know it until much later.

You ever scratch a rash at work?

More money than otherwise offered? Just a guess.

She couldn't have done it without the support of Belinda, Bob, and their popcorn. 

Witness:

He has extremely whiny wine face. From that, I will assume he is a whiner, and that this is his way of trying to also force the Butler trade.

In extremely underrerported news, it seems he may have finally learned something. Butler has the most MPG this year for the Wolves at 33.5. Only two others (Towns and Teague) are averaging over 30, although Wiggins probably would be as well had he not been injured early in a game.

Some guy named Derek Carty is on twitter arguing that his INTs don’t matter, as the stat does not stabilize until after 250 games. If you want to have some not-fun reading about it, here you go:

I do not like this.

The figure is probably too high, but the fines should be substantial. The NBA is full of gigantic salaries, and $20,000 isn’t going to do anything. I would propose that the NBA could just suspend Embiid for the obvious flop to balance things out, but during the regular season a game off here and there is the norm…

I mean, to me he’s been done. Its hard to keep things in perspective with QB numbers sometimes, because they have skyrocketed lately. But while Manning’s may not appear to have been junk in the last two years because in some ways are brains are still in 1998, they have been. Hell, working backwards from 2017 to 2012, h…

That link doesn’t show me that. Any grab follows the first punch (and even then, I don’t see much of one). I wish it was slowed down, but hey, if wishes were horses.

It does give some perspective, I must admit. Making Conor’s punch look a whole lot more flailing as he is pulled down by security. Certainly it doesn’t…

I have to admit, the linked video made me more sympathetic to Khabib’s dudes. Not Khabib himself, mind you, but the others. Connor threw first.

SI said 74.  For whatever its worth.  To this Wolves fan, that feels generous.  But he did show some improvement down the stretch last season.  Like, he made some kickouts!  Seven or eight of them!

OK. I will ensure, however, that your NYT obituary makes note of your dedication to helping others keep it all in perspective online.

Yeah.  Jimmy handled this about as poorly as possible.
