Jrue Holiday's Mini Max Contract

by Christopher Reina

The parallel discussions on Kevin Durant and Philip Roth are a testament to how fixated our culture is on men who are equal parts broken and brilliant. That neither have ever learned how to let anything go can be frightening to perceive.

The Kings need to get it together. They aren’t coming out with enough energy and it results in them chasing. It’s classic Kangz energy and it needs to change. Maybe switch Davis for Buddy in the starting lineup? That might make the team better.

No SF. It will be the 3-guard lineup style that is currently being played. Buddy and Davis are the same height. Buddy is just 20 pounds heavier. Neither option is ideal.
