Giving up that much value in a SnT to overpay. WOWZA

Just remember, the better the record of the team losing the 1st round picks, the worse the picks become.
If they win big, bad picks. On the other hand, the worse they play, the better the picks get!

Is this an acknowledgment that Mitch Johnson was outcoached by the veteran Mike Brown in the Finals?

Or just a perfect alignment of need and availability?

Lakers did try their best to draft Henri Veesaar, too.

Hmmmm

I said if Coach Pop was on the sidelines, Spurs had a better shot at winning.

I am now publicly predicting that the NBPA will likely strike at the end of this contract.

The 2nd Apron and other salary cap restraints have been a fiasco for the players, agents.

^Old Man Perspective:

1. Undersized guards shouldn't mouth off to larger humans and NOT expect retaliation.

2. Big guys shouldn't beat up small guys.

It's fair to think that some amount of frustration has been brewing between these two for some time now.

While the LA Clippers, Leonard and now the Raptors all wait for a conclusion, the investigation has grown in scope since it began, according to multiple sources who spoke to The Athletic on the condition of anonymity in order to speak freely. Not only has Wachtell Lipton, the league’s go-to law firm hired to conduct the inquiry, inspected if the Clippers circumvented the NBA salary cap by facilitating a sponsorship deal for Leonard with Aspiration, it has also looked into whether the Clippers improperly covered expenses for Leonard but were not reimbursed for them, those sources said. And the firm has examined if Leonard had a previously unreported endorsement deal with another company, those sources said.
