Will some nice person explain to me why the Cavs traded Wade? Did they need the salary cap space or something? He could have just done your typical sign and retire with the Heat.

Is there any info about who the other 6 nominees were? My 2-minute google search yielded nothing.

Well you can’t really penalize them for the Kevin Love injury. Plus he’ll be back for the playoffs.

The only thing I’d quibble with is this: “Of course, none of this is ability is, in fact, preternatural: It’s practice. Shiffrin once told me that even as a…

Is this some bad joke that I’m not getting?

I think it’ll more likely be at Vail, where she’s from.

I tried to type “down the FIELD” but for some reason wrote “down the HILL.” Not sure why. Thanks for not calling me out on it.
