I already write for Sixteen. Doing an article on Dakari Johnson right now with one of the WTLC guys. Other two I've been asked to contribute to but haven't written anything for yet.


save DT.


I'm going to be writing a salary cap overview to hopefully give people some sort of primer on what's happening with the team, what's possible, what's impossible or incredibly unlikely, and maybe kill some myths.

Beno Udrih is already shopping for Lamborghinis.

I'll be interested to see this as I often wonder exactly what they can do in the off season...what kind of moves they could make...how much money they could potentially have to spend.

That's what I thought and had read that before but it almost doesn't make sense. But I guess if you pay Adams and Dipo near max and then Westbrook, that does it for the most part? And of course that Kanter contract.

I'll tweet my DailyThunder piece at you when it's done. Should clear it up.

It's very off-topic for the moment but what do you think about the claims that big sports owners are starting to put actual money (supposedly in the range of millions of USD) for the e-sports? Is this really some trend in USA or just an outlier?

KD gave away the general or specific route he takes to arena. Might face some risk of car-jacking / mugging.

Kanter knows about death threats but does he take them serious? He should. Does he have adequate / any security traveling abroad? Probably not. Assassins premeditated and spur of moment could get to him. Even in U.S.

If they decide Kanter is a serious threat they'll find the money trail of Kanter funding the "terrorists" and get an extradition order and execute him as a terrorist. Right now it is just warning shots trying to get him to shut up.

If they can't even extradite Gulen, Kanter is small potatoes.

This rant is one of my favorite Giant Bombcast moments of all time.

EDIT: Wrong one, this is after Ryan Davis died and Dan Ryckert came on board. Ryan Davis's rant is the funny one.

Amazon possibly.

Hey, you got the thunder in the lottery GMAT, need to get the roster up ASAP. Ness didn't quote everybody so I don't know if you saw.

If anyone has nothing on a Saturday night, the Preds/Pens series is way better than NBA playoffs. I'm working at home and plan on watching. Preds crowd is great.
