Not getting Lonzo Ball is infinitely better than any trade that gets you Lonzo Ball.

Fact is, Rich Paul messed up. He didn’t understand his adversary or how the Pelicans think, tried forcing the issue through the media, and landed his client in the worst position possible. Davis could have played out the year and be seen as the good guy, like Kevin Garnett, who left town only after the Pels repeatedly…

Honestly I'd take Tatum and whatever over the chance to cosplay as the 2018 Lakers.

This site has an extremely weird fetish for AD going to the Lakers and there have been schizophrenic pieces since the trade request both acknowledging how bad the Lakers are and pillorying the Pelicans for not jumping at the chance to take the same junko players which make the Lakers so bad. It’s very, very strange…

Yeah, I don’t really get the Deadspin hot takes when it comes to the Pels... they played the Lakers like a... anything other than a fiddle, or bagpipes... so I refuse to cast them as the bad guys. The Lakers have nothing to offer but hot garbage, if anything I admire the Pels restraint.

Here’s my lukewarm take on the whole AD situation:

But the Pelicans are employing him out of spite!  How dare they not nibble on the Lakers offer of fresh shit kibble?

Ummm, you don’t want to be there? Don’t sign the extension. Let’s not forget that he committed to 2 more years with the Pels. 

That ship sailed when the Pelicans decided to spend the pre-deadline period basically trolling the Lakers instead of replying in good faith to what could still very well wind up being the best trade offer out there.

I never click external links.

So basically:

I’m not the OP, but I was a caddy for a long time when I was younger and I did get to caddy in a pro tournament in a situation kinda similar to this. They say that he was a club caddy, meaning he just worked at the club that was hosting the tournament and they grabbed him because a guy needed a caddy. He’s quite a way…

Lol get fucked loser. 

Counterpoint — he could have changed a man’s life by giving him 10% of his $1.3 million winnings, which is not only custom but the moral, generous and decent thing to do. He could have done the right thing and still pocketed over $1.1 million for winning a fucking golf tournament.

Self-inflicted wounds make for the best schadenfreude. Here's hoping UEFA does what they should do instead of what they probably will do.

What does Italian shoe leather taste like?

“So fucking what. A replacement caddy is still a caddy.”

Here’s a cold take: go fuck yourself.

First he was a replacement caddy

Why is Kuchar not obligated to pay his caddy the going rate just because it’s not his usual caddy?
