The lack of smoothing most definitely lead directly to the Durant signing. For other teams, it led to spending $17 mil annually on Evan Fournier.

Look, I’m not saying I’m an expert on NBA free agency or contract strategy. But I think I have a surefire way for teams to get LeBron to sign with them. They just have to correctly interpret his unvoiced personal goals and provide whatever he needs in whatever way is best for him and helps him win championships and…

SA has all the leverage.

Yeah, they can renounce his rights without penalty. 

Potential hot take: I don’t think Paul George compliments LeBron as much as other people think he will, and I think for the money they spend on him, they’d be better off loading up on D&3 players or rim protectors who can grab rebounds. I’ll grant you, they’ll still be very good, I just think they’d be better going…

If I were San Antonio, I’d gin up up as much interest among Boston/Philly to raise the asking price. I’d demand Ingram, Josh Hart, and 8 straight years of SA-optional 1st rounder swaps starting in 2020 to get around the Stepien Rule and to use if/when LeBron leaves/gets old.

I’d leave Lonzo and Lavar with the Lakers…

I’m sure the Lakers can cover the Spurs’ big trade demands by trading LeBron to San Antonio.

I’d also be fine with a zombie RBG. Sure, she wants to eat my brains, but she also wants me to have affordable healthcare and bodily autonomy.

If that book was on tape it would just be her laughing wildly for six hours and I would listen to every second of it.

Elections have consequences, and the Supreme Court is a big one. I seriously don’t want to hear Jill Stein voters or people claiming HRC was the same as Trump whining about this. You contributed to this result.

We can’t, the Republicans changed the rules so they only need a simple majority to pass a supreme court justice. 

A lot of my guy friends told me I was crazy on election night because through my sobs I was saying “they’re going to take away our healthcare, they’re going to take away Roe, they’re going to take away gay marriage.” This shit is real, this shit has consequences.

While you’re at it, F*ck everyone who JUST DIDN’T VOTE in 2016.

To all the Bernie Bros and Bots that told me the “the Supreme Court doesn’t matter” in 2016, I say Fuck You.

SCOTUS’ new collective attitude seems to be: Fuck all y’all.

Shut everything down until Trump nominates Merrick Garland.

RIP, you fat piece of shit

The thing is, even if, say, the Sixers can’t realistically topple the Warriors in the Finals, at least viewers would be able to imagine what adjustments and improvements the Sixers could make in the offseason to narrow the gap. These Cavs are nowhere close to threatening, and they have almost zero hope for internal…

Honestly, at this point I’d be happy to have them face anyone in the Finals other than this Cavs team. The Celtics might not have given the Warriors a more competitive series, but at least there would’ve been a different brand of basketball, and there wouldn’t be the constant frustration of watching the best…

I mean, that’s true, but like...this is also very specifically matching his very specific set of “things”.
