My guy, looking up the idiomatic meaning of “duck soup” is as easy for you as winning the 2019 NBA title will be for the Golden State Warriors. Each of these actions has the potential to set the Guinness World Record for the Easiest Action Done By Human 

Why does it matter to you that it will be easy? 

Last year, the title was easy. This coming year, the title will be duck soup 

I just want to say that this title will be so fucking easy for them. It will be duck soup for them. A walk in the park for them 

I won’t call this title easy. I will say that this title will be uncomplicated, undemanding, unchallenging, effortless, painless, trouble-free, facile, simple, straightforward, elementary,easy as pie, a piece of cake, child’s play, kids’ stuff, a cinch, no sweat, a breeze, smooth sailing, duck soup, a snap 

They’ve lost 6 playoff games and have had one competitive series in two seasons with Durant. The only team who managed to give them a series just lost one of their key role players and might very well lose their most important role player. They just replaced JaVale McGee with Boogie Cousins. I don’t think it’s a hot…

If the 2014 Portugal team was better than the current one, that’s only a testament to how poor this Portugal team is. Their second best player in 2014 was Nani. They were also in the group of death and were only eliminated because they were thumped in their opening match by the eventual champs, with Pepe being sent…

Did I say hold him out? I said don’t trade him and let him sit out, if that’s what he wants (we can assume that’s what he wants, given that’s what he just did). And it’s not out of spite. There are plenty of practical reasons to not trade Kawhi in the offseason if the return haul isn’t worth it

Again, I’m assuming the writer’s assumption (that the Spurs won’t be able to get much for him given that he just sat out an entire season) will hold true. I’m not advocating that he’s benched. I’m saying don’t trade him. If he wants to sit out another year and kill his value when it’s time for him to sign a new deal,…

They’ve already shown they can adapt. Comparing the Spurs to Phil Jackson is deeply, deeply stupid

No. This is how you treat players who sit out seasons when they’re healthy enough to play

You’re right. After thinking it over, handing Kawhi over to a conference rival for peanuts so that you can deal with not one, but two super teams in your own conference is definitely the way to go. Also, making it known to players that are under contractual obligation to play for you that they, in fact, don’t have to…

cheap is relative and in this case the Spurs would still be receiving 1 if not 2 young stars to build around.

San Antonio, pre-Kawhi, had one of the best player-relation reputations in the league. They’re not treating him like chattel by sending a message that, if they’re paying you to play basketball and you decide against playing basketball despite being medically cleared to play basketball, you shouldn’t expect them to…

Eh, I don’t think that would deter players. Unless the players plan on sitting out a season in which they’re medically cleared to play, then demanding a trade when that season is over. Also, it’s not like the Spurs have built their success on the backs of pricey free agents  

I understand that’s not how the NBA typically works. Players also don’t typically sit out seasons when they’re medically cleared to play. This is very much an atypical situation.

You’re potentially kneecapping his career by having him miss two full seasons of basketball. Which could be useful considering he’s, ya know, a top 2-3 player when at his best. And if the Spurs hand Kawhi to the Lakers this summer, that increases the likelihood of LeBron joining him, which means you’re dealing with…

though given his injury and the fact that he’s already sat out a season, the Lakers would probably be able to get Leonard for relatively cheap.
