Worse than offering ludicrously below-market salaries, Gilbert also screwed Griffin out of a decent next gig when he refused to let him interview for jobs that were available, like Atlanta, Milwaukee, and maybe others. (Milwaukee with Griff would’ve been really interesting) A real dick move when he had no intention…

Hayward Prefers ‘Tics Over ‘Eat, ‘Azz

It’s crazy expensive, but to be fair the Warriors build up the back end of their roster on the cheap even as they’re extending their stars and key role players. McCaw was a find and played big minutes; he would’ve replaced either Livingston or Iggy had one left. The 2017 2nd rounder they bought from the Bulls,…

This isn’t the end of the NBA or anything. They’ll be dominant, barring terrible injury luck, for a couple of years ... just like Jordan’s Bulls, Shaq/Kobe’s Lakers, Bird’s Celtics, etc. Then their old guys will be too old, and a younger guy or two will depart, and they won’t be able to easily rebuild a super-team.

When you love trophies like Joe Lacob does, no amount of money is too much to spend.

Getting rid of the max salary (or raising it considerably) is the only path to parity. I agree with Ann Killion and LeBron: Steph has added far more than $200 million to the value of the franchise. If these guys are getting paid less than they are worth, it’s 100% their right to choose the team that will pay them.

I thought you were going to say “I knew it was going to be terrible and badly directed”

He gets day of rest. Then a whole summer.

Very few people are entirely 100% blind. I’m completely blind on my left eye and have 20/200 vision in my right and I often just use the “blind” shorthand for myself. I know a lot of people who can only see light and color and refer to themselves as blind. I think we should all leave Stevie Wonder alone.

I could watch Lebron lose by 20 3 times a week for the rest of my life.

Yeah I prefer it when they wipe the floor with the Clippers.

I have to admit, I giggled with glee.

Alexa has had the ability to set multiple timers for over a year at least. What’s new is the ability to name them.

No instructions or link to what specific commands to use?

I don’t care about KD. I don’t care about Rihanna. Jeff Van Gundy, though? That man is a goddamn delight.

LeBron getting swept in the Finals (twice, inc. ‘07) would bring me great joy. But I doubt the WWE refs will allow it — although it seemed the refs tried to keep the Cavs in it in the first half, but it wasn’t enough.

Getting him to commit to a pizza topping must be absolutely brutal.
