He’s the same guy who tried to publicize an orgy - sorry, no dudes allowed party - with Bills logos all over it, sooooo

A few things here:

The point is that as long as there is a salary cap, a mechanism that works every day to artificially depress payroll

I don’t agree with that though. Booker looks legit and they have had PUTRID teams around him his whole career. As Chris wrote, someone was gonna give him the max next offseason. If they had every plan to match - as they should - may as well give it to him early so you can keep goodwill with the player you hope will…

This is sad. I remember loving him as a potential, 3+D, Tayshaun Prince type when he came outta school.  Mental illness sucks.

I live in a complex where the parking lot is considered non-smoking and that’s built into the lease so the white lady _may_ actually have a point here. Still shitty and pedantic (assuming she doesn’t have asthma/lung cancer which you’d think she’d drop) but maybe she’s not entirely wrong.

I’m white and people like this kill me. Does she have a card? Yes? OK, then why do you care? Even if she didn’t, if she’s not starting fires, who gives a crap???

100% but he also can’t shoot. At all. If he’s not a starter, it’s tough to justify $15M+ and he’s probably not good enough to be a starting PG when you look around at teams’ rosters (even ones he’s better than have young draft picks in the roles that they are going to give every opportunity to fail first) and if he’s…

I work right by the Celtics practice facility and saw Ainge at the local Chipotle and he was openly talking to the people he was with about how he didn’t expect Marcus back and he assumed someone would throw $$$ at him. We signed Brad Wannamaker a few hours later that very day.

Didn’t the guy in Memphis that shut down the lady yelling at the property inspector come right too? I remember loving watching him tell her to relax or she’d be the one going to jail.

It’s a family of 7. Driving together back from somewhere. Ever take a road trip with your whole family? I have and I’d hang out in a truckstop bathroom for an hour for a break from that.

Eat a sandwich?  I thought we were talking about Subway?

I believe the movie you were going for was the best Tarantino movie which is, of course, Reservoir Dogs.

That he just giggles while on top of the dude is the best.  “Caaaalm down”  What a treat.

I know Luka looks like he’s gonna be awesome but he’s got juuust enough Hedo Turkoglu in his game that I want to see him do it in the pros before I’m ready to declare him a stud. For a dude that’s not super athletic, the difference between the Euroleagues and the NBA could be jarring. He also dominated the Euroleague…

“I” have had Celtics season tickets for 25 years (thanks Dad!!!) and been to my fair share of Pats and Sox games. I’ve probably been to 500 games in my life over 35 years. I’d say 3 count as historic

It’s really not hard to kick the ball very hard. The toughest thing is not telegraphing with your footwork exactly where you’re going and kicking it accurately enough to not peg someone in the 8th row.

Sure but he was also one of the 3 best players in the world at that point.  It was Kobe or LeBron 1/2 then Wade as a clear 3.  Talent alone was enough there and that Dallas L is still, to this day, inexcusable and the biggest black mark on his GOAT resume.

Sure but know what the 2nd best teammate would be? Kyrie

I’m with you on talent - if Simmons ever develops a jumper, he (and Grant Hill) is the closest thing I’ve ever seen to LeBron and he’d be the best player in the league but there’s no guarantee there or with Embiid’s health.  There’s also no guarantee another star would come.  In LA, he will have the last 2 second…
