That was a long setup for a Dion Waiters joke. But it was worth it.

I mean, I could almost buy this if one of his wish-list destinations were not Minnesota.

I find it wonderful how even Zach Lowe, the most even tempered, least hot-takey writer there is, was throwing all kinds of shade at Irving implying he actually wants to lead a bad team and put up Harden/Westbrook stats rather than contend.

Subtle, what you did there.

He’s gonna regret this one day as he’s sailing off into the horizon, where the earth ends.

I know this will be FILED TO: DUH, but there has to be more to this story than just a one-minute phone call to an escort service. I mean, this isn’t Rick Pitino we’re talking about here.

Machete Girl was unimpressed by the whole thing. She’s standing in between a guy with a machete and a guy with a trash can and seems totally unconcerned that she might accidentally get caught up in the melee. Then Machete Guy taps out, gets in the car, and she’s like, “nah, I’ll just wait here a minute.”

If the agreement just says that the Garden must be available 3 times per year, yet no one ever asked them to use it, do they really owe anything?? It would be different if charities were frequently making requests to use it and the Garden never said ‘yes’.

Barclays Center installed a green roof a few years ago, and in addition to practical uses, it looks pretty cool. You can do a lot with arena/dome rooftop space if you wanted to - even if it has to include a corporate logo in there somewhere.

Well they can build it so that the Giant Red Wing is handing Josh Smith $54 million, to keep it egalitarian.

What’s it gonna take for someone, or some group of idiots to realize what the hell is going on here? It’s like dumbfuck day is every waking moment with this clown.

Please remember that this is the owner that let piece-of-shit Isiah Thomas run the team in the ground and then hired him again.

We’re all hoping Draymond destroys his dick and balls, right?

Nobody’s signed anything yet. We’re in this weird gap week where teams are finally officially allowed to talk to players but the signing doesn’t start until ... actually, I think it’s today. But this is the same gap period that allowed DeAndre Jordan to agree in principle to play for the Mavericks, and then change his…

... in the new entertainment district in the Woodward corridor that finally connects 2 already popular and growing areas, downtown and midtown. People who criticize that area usually haven’t been there in years.

This is the one who was playing against the Celtics in the playoffs this year.

“The Celtics backed themselves into a bit of a jam when they decided to sign Gordon Hayward without obtaining the necessary cap room”

Uh...if they obtained the necessary cap room before deciding to sign Hayward, they’d have had to make exactly this sort of move. They simply didn’t have $30M available no matter the…

People often confuse the two. Marcus is the tweener forward who doesn’t rebound, whereas Markieff is the tweener forward who doesn’t rebound.

I mean people shouldn’t keep looking at this as a Morris for Bradley deal straight up. It’s Morris & Hayward for Bradley, which every GM would do.

He was likely gone after next year anyway, given IT’s impending contract.
