Not to defend McHale, for the reasons listed by other commenters, but just once instead of a generic “I regret using this language” I’d like to see someone in this situation release a statement that just says “Give me a break. I use this language, you use this language, everyone uses this language, and even if you’re…

Not sure how his wife should impact one’s view of him, but sure, why not.

“41 year old man from Florida”

It’s also weird that this post considers it a failure by Magic and Pelinka. By the time they stepped in to offer up deals, LeBron and Rich Paul had already fucked it up. The Pelicans were never going to make a trade - mostly out of spite. And that’s fine. This is 100% on LeBron and Paul, not the Lakers front office.…

What we don’t know: where Zion’s going, what Boston might offer or has promised already, how serious AD is about the Clippers, etc.

Indeed. After the NBA draft order is determined Davis will go to Boston or whoever has the #1 pick or some dark horse team that will put together an insane offer out of nowhere. There’s a 0% chance he ends up dead weight New Orleans loses for nothing (matching the 0% chance this ends up affecting NO’s ability to sign…

And what the Lakers can offer is pretty garbage. Even though they have a few good young players, none look like they are ever even going to become regular
All-Stars, let alone consistently good. Ingram is far too inconsistent, Ball is far too passive and still hasnt fixed his jumper, and Kuzma cant play defense to…

“But if the worst-case scenario does happen and Davis just walks away for nothing in 18 months, the Pelicans won’t have won anything.”

I look forward to his shitty teammates freezing him out when he calls for the ball, and then whipping it at the back of his head when he turns away.

This is the correct take. 

I like how LeBron turning it on to leapfrog the Kings for the eighth seed is where this Lakers season has gone. And by “like” I mean “fucking love.”

What top flight free agent was going to sign in New Orleans before this? It’s all happening because their own pending top flight free agent who they drafted first overall made it clear that he wouldn’t stay.

This is pretty much fact.

I was in karts when that happened. The following year our league mandated Hans devices.

I’ve angered several of his fans by pointing out that irony. Perhaps “Yeah, he died like a REAL MAN instead of living like a candy-ass.” wasn’t the best word choice.

It’s unlikely a Hans would have saved Senna 

I’m just sad his name wasn’t actually Hans.

Son, you are dying on the wrong cross here.

I came here for a argument, but I’ll settle for an discussion.

But nathelees, whil I have tyme and space,
Er that I ferther in this tale pace,
Me thynketh it acordaunt to resoun
To telle yow al the condicioun
Of ech of hem, so as it semed me,
And whiche they weren, and of what degree,
And eek in what array that they were inne;
And at a knyght than wol I first bigynne.
