Damn man, I only had like 5 mins to kill but I’ll be having to come back to read this entire thing. Super interesting, thanks for this. 

I’m reminded of a good friend of mine’s quote in regards to a certain sports columnist: ‘I’m glad they make his name so prominent so I know not to read his column.’ 

Good catch, but still, they knew to draft the guy... Also forgot about Jason Hart. 

2014 - Julius Randle, Traded to acquire Jordan Clarkson

As a Laker fan I can succinctly say this: Fuck the Lakers.

Yeah, that’s true but did you read how the pitched him? From what I understand it was ‘Hey, come play in LA! We’re the Lakers!’ and Aldridge was like, ‘Show me some analytics,’ and the Lakers responded with, ‘Duh? Analywha? Showtime baby!’ I’m just over that shit. They’re obviously getting their lunch eaten by other…

As a Lakers fan, I approve of the pelicans punking the front office. As opposed to running the strategy to draft and develop, they’re just chasing all the damn stars to try and beat an actually well balanced and constructed Warriors team. I’m tired of the lakers chasing the damn stars instead of just committing to…

I totally fell for your clickbait ass title.

I think this is exactly why Harper and Machado are still not signed, because dudes under team control that can get them x% of the productivity of these guys are under team control and way cheaper, that’s really how the game has been skewed to the point where years of team control means that that player is much more…

You’re absolutely right, and overall, I think to myself that the MLB players union is probably going to sell out the youth in order to make a salary floor happen, as they continually have been doing for years. Its crazy to me that so much of a player’s prime gets eaten up by team control if they make it to the big…

This is solid work.

Its a well made point, but the years of fuckery from MLB owners don’t cause me any concern about making the floor too high, but it may drive some franchises to move/fold, which is likely against any league growth model, which then means that revenue sharing becomes a likely solution.

Finally my economics degree has a use!

I don’t know why this made me laugh as hard as it did, but take your dang star

This is why I deadspin

This is a good call, I was just sitting here thinking, “Why does this dude look so familiar?”

Words are to no longer be a medium for your taeks, as this is perfection.

I want more of Greta’s takes. You guys are fucking up if you don’t make her a feature columnist at whatever frequency she wants to enlighten us. 

In the end, you’re responsible for what comes out of your mouth, and furthermore, the stuff he missed is pretty obvious for anyone who more than casually follows football. I think its likely he didn’t bother to read the sheet and just drank from the streams of Mt. Taek to formulate these ideas which generally works if…

It will now be the Hall of the Very Good in my mind.
