ATL - NBA to investigate Lowry/Ball deals for tampering, pg. 81

[BigO]

We can **** on Kyrie all we want (and I'm sure I will also), but he's doing some terrific stuff with at least a portion of his money and influence that is materially bettering the lives of other people.

Sure, but that really doesn’t give a person the right to be a massive a hole in regards to how they treat the other half of the people they interact with.

We don’t give a pass to a police officer that is respectful and helpful 3/4 of their shifts.

We don’t excuse a physician who has great bedside manner with 1/2 of his patients.

Kyrie has over a hundred million dollars and a significant platform and appears to be a force for good, 1/2 the time (and a spectacularly out of touch arrogant jerk the other half. I think the bar should be higher.

Ok but apply it universally, because most of these guys are just ****.

Good ethical question. Is it better to be a nice guy and never do anything with your wealth or be a pain in the ass and help thousands of people? I think I'd go with the last one.

Any documentation of what Kyrie has/is doing?

This is the thing that came out today. He doesn't talk about any of it publicly. Just helps people. Admirable imo. People are complicated.

Of course it is possible to bring clean water to remote villages, and to not be an insufferable ****.

I guess it balances it out if being insufferable taints drinking water.

I'm tired of the Kyrie slang. I find it short-sighted and selfish.

Lmao.

Philly isn't going to be able to trade him if they don't drop their expectations considerably. Ultimately, I think he'll end up in MIN or s&t for Lowry.

Did Carter play in the finals? Shamet is a quality player.

[StickeeFingaz]

If Shamet can get 29 + Carter, wonder what/where Donte or Donte + 31 could get us.

[DingleJerry]

IDK, I'd have jumped in on that for Shamet with our pick if it's possible with cap, etc. BKN probably not really looking to work with us though anyway.

[Matches Malone]

Woj and shams duking it out. Who’s info will come out on top?

[Ron Swanson]

Morey has to be the laughingstock of the league right now. What's the point of even asking for that ludicrous of a price for Simmons? Because when it inevitably leaks out, it just makes you look embarrassing. Dude literally doesn't understand the concept of negotiating.

[StickeeFingaz]

LMAO @ Lakers. Westbrook? LOL

Woooowwwww

[StickeeFingaz]

Westbrook is never the answer.

[Plossum]

Wtf is Morey doing? I spose you don’t want to deal Simmons wondering if you could get more but he’s really taking the piss with these proposals.

[WeekapaugGroove]

Buddy Heild probably just broke his phone reading the Westbrook news

Nice trade by the Wizards. Westbrook isn't going to work in LA either.
