This move definitely doesn’t make the Pelicans scary this year, because their wing rotation just went from really bad to easily the worst in the league. Assuming people want to play with DMC (uh......) it should be easy to convince some 3 point shooters in the coming years to live in New Orleans and get the easiest…

For the Pels, Dell Demps wants to save his job.

To be fair, there’s plenty of non-college grads that know the earth isn’t fucking flat.

What if I’ve given up on myself and the “girlfriend thing”?

They don’t win the title last year with Wiggins instead of Love, and they’re so hilariously capped out that the salary savings wouldn’t have resulted in bringing an extra guy in.

I’m a little worried that the new CBA’s efforts to incentivize staying with the team that drafts you will result in more tanking.

In terms of his prime objective (tank for assets) I don’t think he did anything that was unique. His best skill was to convince ownership to let him do it longer and more brazenly than most GMs are allowed to, while putting out a product for 3 years that doubled as a paid advertisement for why relegation systems are…

I’d love to know what the plan is with that team. Wade/Rondo signings delayed the eventual tear down to rebuild around Butler that needed to take place, and I’m worried that they’ll burn assets chasing the 5 seed. If Wade opts in for next year, it just delays the rebuild another season, and Butler’s going to age/is…

All true statements.

I like that they cater to my anti-social tendencies, but there’s one problem: The delivery guy brings you a Papa John’s pizza.

Ditto. We hear way too many stories of athletes who hang it up and can’t figure out how to function without their sport. Good on Steve to find interests beyond the game that he’s passionate about. (And hopefully successful?)

You’re just trying to get people to hate you.

Let’s (try to) remember some guy.

Looking at the results of policies she’s financed or otherwise championed in Michigan, it seems clear to me that it’s in the best interests of this country to suppress her vision of education.

Couple thoughts:

I agree that the Yankees got a steal here; $3.5M isn’t bad for a vet that can step in if the younger players flounder or get hurt. He’s got obvious shortcomings to his game, but so do all backups. That’s why they’re backups.

If I wanted to read Baylor’s marketing materials I’d go to their website.

“I know he wanted to retire a long time ago, but he can’t,” James said. “He’s stuck up on that stage every week.”

Here’s hoping they get blown out and booed off the court tonight. I want this fire to burn forever.

Kings, Knicks, Bulls, and Cavs (the defending champions!!!) infighting all in the span of 24 hours?
