That reads like the Porzingis brothers overplayed their hand. Given that a deal was already in place, they had absolutely no leverage. I guess they thought the Knicks would do whatever they could to keep him.

Aren’t these international sports federation guys all basically mid-tier Bond villains?

Good one, dipshit. Except it’s the Republicans who raised taxes on the middle class to pay for a tax cut on the wealthy. 

You’re surprised British people don’t like crusty bread? Have you seen their teeth?

Is it bad that I’m happy to pay higher taxes just so all those assholes who voted for him have to pay higher taxes, too?

Yo $60k household income in a 2 income household is shit.

Nah, they’re more like the Browns. Just watch how they piss away Baker Mayfield.

I am not one to give the Knicks the benefit of the doubt, but even with Porzingis, what is the Knicks plan if Durant or whatever free agents still don’t want to come?

Say you could guarantee 2 max stars, wouldn’t you rather have Leonard and Durant rather than Irving and Durant, particularly with Dennis Smith jr now on the team? Obviously the Knicks are going to overpay for someone shitty so whatever, but...

Woj is reporting this has an unprotected 2021 first rounder and a 1-10 protected 2023 first rounder from Mavs... I love Porzingis, but that’s a pretty good haul, even if the draft assets are pretty far down the road. 

You definitely buy out those guys’ contracts right away if you can’t trade them.

Oh man, put Crystal or Louisiana on fish and chips instead of vinegar some time. You won’t go back.

I used to like Cholula and now I hate it. I think they changed the formula when they went wide distribution with it. It’s weirdly sweet now.

I don’t get it. Everybody fucking hates Starbucks, even though everyone goes there. I don’t think this asshole has a chance of doing anything. All you have to do is put out attack ads of former Starbucks workers talking about working full time and having shifts pulled or being on food stamps and shit. Just blanket the…

What they should do is bench him for the rest of the season to tank as hard as possible, and then trade him for the Knicks pick. They could conceivably have the top two picks in the draft. This is, at least, the NBA 2K draft strategy...
