I still can’t believe that you guys published a piece about how it was totally unfair and wrong for the Pelicans not to just accept whatever complete garbage deal the Lakers were able to throw together and gift them AD

“But if the worst-case scenario does happen and Davis just walks away for nothing in 18 months, the Pelicans won’t have won anything.”

I think, that with his December injury, the Lakers should realize that at this point in his career, every day that goes by, LeBron gets just a little bit older. If they want to wait 18 months for AD, go for it, but LeBron will be 18 months older. The Lakers and Magic screwed this up with the only kind of fuckery that…

If you are already insanely wealthy—enough to own two franchises in the same city—the equation is more simple.

It’s almost as if being one of the best players in the history of the league does little to help you run a team. Weird. 

I know this probably hurts teams dealing with the Pels in the future, but for now, I will happily laugh at Magic getting so strung along that the AD chase torpedoed his team’s psyche. Watching the Lakers show up in Indiana in full “sad Charlie Brown Arrested Development walk” mode was one of the highlights of the…

Counterpoint: Fuck the Lakers. Pantsing them was totally worth it even if the Pelicans get nothing in return for Davis in 18 months.

Don’t you even know how many days there are in a week, bro?

Why does this feel like one of those comments that’s going to get 450 responses and no fewer than 12 death threats?

uhhhhhhhh... I don’t think this is what they meant when they said it was gonna take magic to fix Markelle Fultz.

I personally am thinking that Bryce is secretly meeting with all these teams just to cover up his secret foodie blog, first it was SanDiego’s fish tacos, now San Francisco’s Mission Burritos, soon he’ll be in Chicago taste testing the Deep Dish Pizza stomach bombs, and then Milwaukee for their Beer Battered Cow-shaped…

I am amazed that Machado is still unsigned. I am less amazed about Harper.

I kind of love the idea of the Warriors just capping off this current iteration with the most dominant team ever, before all the pieces scatter to the wind. With their all-NBA players separated, people will again remember their incredible individual talent, while realizing how truly insane it was to see them all play…

Just remember anything AOC says is pretty much the greatest idea since sliced bread and you’ll be fine. 

Thank you for the bigger picture! Wow, that is a LOT of missing context. It confirms what we already know about the Speaker’s M.O.; build support, build muscle, wait for the wind to shift, then pounce when the moment is right.

Hoo hoo hoo, aren’t the Splinteresses triggered toDAY! Nah, the Speaker didn’t shit on anything; she just told them to get their shit together first and come back with broader support. She’s done this before. That’s how things roll. As you admit, a resolution is not a bill. So calm the collective tits and wait for the…

This kind of article is exactly why people are starting to question Splinter.

Real talk: Is AOC allowed to even eat lunch without breathless coverage by Splinter? It’s exhausting to see her name invoked endlessly in articles that aren’t (really) even about her.

It’s almost like a certain politician who’s in the news all the time. He knows all the big words. The best words! And everything and everyone is either the Best! Fantastic! Better than it’s ever been! Or they’re sad. Pathetic. Worst thing ever! And bad for this country.

Wednesday: “Yeah Nancy Pelosi is fucking amazing the way she owned Trump last night during the SOTU, on top of how she destroyed him during the shutdown. Thank God she’s on our side.”
