Yeah, as far as I know the Stepien Rule is the only such restriction that’s in place, and has been for decades. I don’t know of anything that would prevent a team from making a similar Nets trade to pick up a 2019, 2021, and 2023 first-rounder.

Take a look at the 2013 Sixers roster and tell me how you’re going to build a contender out of that without tanking. I dare you.

Well, there’s the part where house-flipping is a terrible thing to popularize for American society, had a large part in crashing the housing market and creating a massive recession, and contributes to a depressing culture of raw greed and “getting yours”, in addition to being low-class manufactured-drama formulaic…

Hopefully it’s just because he’s moving out of his college housing arrangement and has a bunch of stuff packed in the car, but yeah, Georgia’s sweltering five-month summer has already begun, the electronics is a really bad idea.

Works great until a playoff series is decided by a projection saying a home run would have gone 449 or 451 feet when the ball was caught in the stands well before it travelled close to either distance.

You must be particularly skilled at identifying occupiers of closed bathroom stalls. Most people are not.

You wrote a lot of fancy words to say “stop talking shit about Trump if you want to keep your jobs”.

“Peter King working 70% less” is like a tree falling in a forest situation, right?

The latter is worse. People can deal with you taking 30 seconds to pour a condiment. Taking one of the restaurant’s bottles is literally just stealing, just as it would be to take a metal fork or something.

Also, where are you eating these? If you’re taking your to-go burrito back to either your home or office, just…

I don’t think it’s asking too much that an American entertainment company have the remarkably low bar of values such that they don’t whore themselves out to doing outright propaganda for an oppressive dictatorial regime or hold events in areas of the world so repressive that women aren’t allowed to either attend or…

As an American, it’s mind-boggling to see people from more, I suppose, honor-based cultures say something like “I’ll retire from professional Overwatch if you prove me wrong” and then...actually do it. Here that’d go something like “lulz I was joking idiot”.

Credit to the Pacers, but I don’t exactly respect them now. I’m not sure they could take one game off the Sixers and they don’t look like they would have been capable of winning a series against Boston or Toronto, let alone any playoff team in the West. Being like the 13th-best team in the NBA when people expected you…

I’ve got Darnold in my mock draft fantasy league, so Kiper better pick him or I lose my matchup.

The NCAA would be more beneficial to an 18-year-old athlete than getting five minutes a game on a soon-to-be-relegated Lithuanian team, absolutely. High school would be a lot more beneficial to a 16-year-old athlete than getting five minutes a game on a soon-to-be-relegated Lithuanian team.

Neither of those facts are…

So, let me explain this to you. College ball is dumb *for people with NBA talent*. There’s no reason not to just let them go straight to the NBA. LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball, on the other hand, do not appear to have remotely close to NBA talent. They would have been far better off spending their formative years competing…

“what you can’t do is affect change anywhere by staying away from it.”

You ever wonder how many of these things these people write per week? Deadspin can’t be the only place on the internet that triggers them. Do interns at the local newspaper website do a daily gathering to read the latest typo-laden missive and laugh? How many hours per week are actually spent typing these rants out?

After these losses, Djokovic dumped his official coach Radek Stepanek, as well as Andre Agassi, with whom he’d had a more informal arrangement. Recently Djokovic has been eager to change the scenery when he’s playing poorly. It was exactly one year ago at this event, the Monte Carlo Masters, that Djokovic nuked his…

There’s the slight problem that there are already tons and tons of such sites. Commercials like these are the tip of the iceberg, there’s an entire cottage industry dedicated to collecting email lists of anyone who gets grifted by any of these things once and within weeks they’re getting bombarded with constant…
