Nah, there's 10-12 teams with cap space to sign a max player. The Knicks won't get anyone good. At best they'll get like Brook Lopez and Goran Dragic. 

Hilarious that Butler gets left off while Towns, Simmons and Embiid are on. I mean he probably replaces Oladipo, but it’s still funny.

In the 2015 NBA finals, the Warriors made the adjustment to go more to their small ball lineup after improbably starting the series 1-2 to a Cavs team without either Love or Kyrie. The Cavs essentially could not play Timofey Mozgov in rotation anymore because he would get run off the court by small guys. This…

That was surprisingly adept rim protection and quick movement from Marc Gasol there. Clearly, this should be helping the Grizzlies get Lonzo Ball from the Lakers.

At first glance, I confused the extra chinstrap length as part of the script for "Duke" and thought they had am entirely different kind of team. 

Quick question from a tennis novice: if the shot was lower and to the outside of the net, but still landed in, would it count? Or does it have to be high enough to have cleared the net? Do they have cameras on the net to make sure it's high enough?

The main point of that article is that Haslam needs to quit meddling, get out of his own way and stick to a plan. His record is that he stumped for hiring Hue Jackson and Mike Lombardi. This team is fucked forever. 

I think somebody needs to tell Larry that he isnt helping the cause

I mean, the Lakers won't because they dont want him opting in and ruining their plans to chase a free agent after this year (Kawhi, KD, Kyrie, Klay, Kemba or... Butler). But I would love to see Gasol/James.

Alternatively, be happy that Jeter won’t be the first next year

I just hope they capture the same face he made in like every photo taken of him pitching:

As an Indians fan, Vizquel has way too many votes. Also Manny Ramirez doesn't have enough. I never got to see Bonds play in person, ,but Manny had the best swing I've ever seen. These two are backwards.

I think most people who read the first story could read between the lines and grasp what was likely the story - as ended up being true. A random former Olympic competitor dying isnt by itself news. The fact that it came after the suspension led most to believe this was the case. But Deadspin can’t say so without…

If the Warriors were to lose both Klay and KD, and also declined the team option on Livingston they'd have around $27m in cap room. Not enough for a max player. But enough to send a good chunk of money at Cousins.

It is the responsibility of politicians to get people to vote for them, to inspire people in some way. A person logically concluding that throated support of the Democrats isn't fixing anything is a failure of either the candidate or the messaging of said candidate. No blame on Lynch here. 

The only solace to take is that the Warriors will crumble after this year. Iguodala and Livingston are old now. Cousins will walk for a better contract. They’ll either lose one of Durant/Thompson or they’ll be paying the largest luxury tax bill ever. Draymond isnt good anymore.

I just want to express how very creepy Cassidy's laugh is. The way he keeps his mouth closed like a ventriloquist without a dummy is just unsettling.

I did a bit of number crunching the other day for my favorite team, the Indians. It’s actually staggering just how much their income is fixed.

The guy I immediately thought of, as a guy who sat inthe corner and took threes and not much else, was Wesley Person. He had a year at 4.4 3PA/G, go just 1.2 FTA/G. Those Cavs teams of my youth I remember as being entirely made of Guys. Terrell Brandon, Tyrone Hill, Bob Sura, Bobby Phills, Chris Mills, Vitaly…

From a Cleveland Indians fan... fuck Trevor Bauer
