He has to be renouncing Chriss &/or Bender to get to 40

I can get to 33m. I wil say this - I am perfectly okay with giving the wrong players one year deals over giving the wrong players multi year deals.

If you tell me the best Ryan can do is like I said above, Mbah Moute and Beverly - that's fine. I am leery of Van Fleet or Smart at like 4/50. Leery of a max sheet to Gordon. A guy like FAvors - I would be more inclined to do 3/45 over Gordon at 5/125 or whatever as though FAvors might not reach the ceiling - I think we know what we are getting.

I wouldnt mind giving gelo a summer league spot. Cheap easy way to win a little love from that idiotic family that could come in handy at some point in the future.

I haven't listened to that show in years... Is Doug still a complete **** idiot?

Doug is the worst

What I cannot stand about him is if the NFL Washiington team loses or a team in his bracket loses he does this sarcastic rant about the coach is stupid "why didn;'t you foul " or whatever. Like the coach is personally trying to ruin Doug Effing Franzs bracket!! Plus when Steve Wilks was introduced at his presser for the CArdinals, it was streaming and I watched. At the end, one guy was not clapping at the end - FRanz. A**hat!

If we end up with Kevin Love's corpse I will not be happy...

If the Suns went for Gordon and TJ McConnell would they have to move 3/5th of their home games to Tucson?

Terrible reporter, awkward person, and now this...

Nerds trying to get famous on twitter. It's nothing new, the Skip Bayless and sorts of non-athletes having opinions that people care about in sports talk have flamed this insane phenomenon of non-athletes having an opinion that matters on a national basis.

Yeah former athletes should be the only ones that have right to give their opinion on sports.

It’s why Inside the NBA always has the most insightful opinions and is always accurate as well over guys like say Zach Lowe or Kevin O’Connor etc who are just “nerds trying to get famous”.

Doug hates tanking but loves the players that tanking provides. He still won't acknowledge talking is what provided these players he loves.

Side note it's kind of funny how many national writers ran with the whole 'the spurs won't trade Kahwi west" That was always a negotiating ploy planted by SA and an obvious one at that. They were always going to take the best package regardless.

Spurs might have leaked to Woj they were talking to Boston . SPurs were always going to play this cool and have the Lakers come back to them - maybe with a panic type deal. Oh PG13 might not be going to LA so Lebron won't go without a "Robin" to his "Batman."

I have a feeling the Lakers are going to overpay for the Kawhi -both in terms of players as well taking back like Pau Gasol or Patty Mills - just to eat a bit into the Lakers cap space for grins . Lakers mgiht get Lebron and Kawhi but the SPurs will have a solid core moving forward.

Dave King and Espo really putting in some serious work to make Brightside look bad this offseason, impressive

Now I should have probably noted that some of these reporters know they are being used to leak info for leverage and go along with it anyway. It's part of the tit for tat nature of the job they use to get scoops.

Woj is respected - he gets the information
Charnia too

Broussard, Kyler, Schultz - not really

When Woj starts tweeting - a deal is, I won't say imminent but this thing of Kawhi to the Lakers probably happens by this time next week

Some of the contracts as well (Knight, Chandler, Dudley etc).
