Yeah, and the cost to get Bennett or Oden didn’t include another lottery pick either

It feels unlikely that 10 million will be used for anything better than a broken prospect. Not many free agents will go to Orlando, and using that space to take a bad contract with a pick attached doesn’t do much for a fan base. Depending on what they do with Vucivic, and who knows what that will be, they will either…

Dont you guys get it?  All men suck.  Pending legal action against thier current employer be damned, they should have repeated everything they already said for a Deadspin writer.

Great.  I’m assuming ESPN has the game on prime time, and when the Mets go up 1-0 in the 8th they will have several cut-ins on ABC and CBS to show the action.  

When do they play a series against the Phillies?  That usually cures all ills a team has.

So the former sports agent doesn’t remember to ask about a trade kicker?

It would be fun to have him play meaningful minutes off the bench (Horford, not Ostertag), but the money wouldn’t square up, unless Butler and Harris both leave, in which case a backup center is probably the least of the Sixer’s problems.  Get ready for another year of everyone’s favorite hideous giant, Boban the…

I agree 100%. In a year or two he’s going to be a great bench guy for a contending team, not a guy that should be paid 25 million bucks. It’s hard to believe (knicks) any team (NYK) would be dumb enough (KNICKS) to give him 100 million dollars (KNICKS WILL LOSE OUT ON EVERY PLAYER THEY WANT AND OVERPAY OLD PLAYERS…

Maybe they leave. This will probably be Butlers last contract, and if he signs anywhere else besides Philly, he will be forfeiting 35 million bucks in that 5th year, money he will never get back. As for Harris, who knows. He will probably be more likely to leave the 5th year on the table. He will be able to get…

So why do the pelicans need cap space?  Big free agent destination?  And haven't we learned from the Nets/Boston deal that handing out unprotected 1sts for anyone is a risky bet?  I'm not saying either deal is better than the other;  in the end the Lakers got a top 5 player in the league, so they were always going to…

Countpoint:  Having Zion in New Orleans is equally terrible for the league as having AD is, from a marketing standpoint.

Sounds like Mr. Trump may have some legit competition for the Republican nomination

Here is the paradox: if the Universe is as close to infinite as we can comprehend, then there are millions of sentient, technologically advanced civilizations that are looking for us. However, considering the universe is infinite, there is a near zero percent chance they would ever find us. Even if they did detect us,…

So three deaths is ok?

That’s the first thing that made me laugh in over 7 years

Now we are going to challenge non-calls?  Better push the start times back on those late afternoon games to 5:25.  

Sure, but that has nothing to do with ownership in one's head.  That's just you enjoying a douche getting what you believe he deserves.

Since they don’t play the same position and wouldn’t guard each other unless it’s in a pick and roll/switch situation, the real estate market would be overstated by someone who didn’t understand basketball in the least.

I would say we are at peak “here’s what a long-running franchise looks like from the outside” article, combined with the “smart person tries to dumb themselves down to appreciate escapist pop culture phenomenon” article.  We won't see more.  However, the "jaded response from someone who dislikes the format of article…

The confidence isn’t there because he is a terrible free throw shooter as well. Somewhere in his mind he believes driving and passing to a semi open perimeter guy is better than him getting two free throws, and from a certain perspective he is probably right. However, getting players in foul trouble is a benefit as…
