Think an ankle injury.

That said I'm curious what Bobby thinks considering the sacrifice he made to come back.

The leaked reports seemed to indicate that PJ wanted a 2-year/$20mm deal from the Bucks. I'm assuming the Bucks offered him either a one year deal (or two year) at a much lower number.

I'm just curious what Bobby's handshake deal was. Thinking 4/$40 on July 1st next year.

The interview that James Jones gave about Phoenix not offering Ayton the full max was interesting. You can see their thinking, a bit. They can only have two true max players on the team. Booker's one, Paul is around but not on the max, and if they could get Ayton on a three or four year deal it would mean they could potentially deal Bridges, Payne, Cam Johnson, and Jalen Smith for the next disgruntled superstar.

Danny Green pulled a Snell tonight. 19 min, 0-1 with 3 PF and a bunch of 0's in the box score.

He's another guy that goes on my "Bobby Flay Cooked" team along with LMA, Milsap, and George Hill. More members will be joining shortly as I watch more games this week.

That said, they got a big game out of Tyrese Maxey (20/5/7). Some Sixers fans think he's going to blow-up this year. He might, and it will give them a huge shot in the arm.

He's gonna be the first big name to pass up the rookie extension and play out his qualifying year.

I wanted to laugh, but then I realized we have a banner hanging in the Forum dedicated to all our division championships.

Nah, the lakers are just even more trash. No way they (gsw)contend, let alone justify being the 4th highest odds.
These two teams were both in the playin game last year and neither have improved that much. Lakers got worse in my opinion.

"Correct for $400. Pick again."

no it's not, if "anything" means proscribed PEDs.

I really think many (most?) take them. A lot of real unnatural stuff going on in sports. Look at soccer, running, and cycling. Look at Lebron looking athletic and playing night-in-night-out after playing god knows how many hard NBA minutes.

The Bobby eye-roll tweet could mean it's not as completely a cut and dry situation of the Bucks failing to make a key contributor in our championship run a fair offer, even it was not ultimately a competitive one.

We definitely offered Tucker less in years and / or money per year than what he got from the Heat at a baseline.

The max Portis' handshake deal could be is the full MLE this upcoming offseason I believe. Either way he's seriously underpaid this year and probably could get / could have gotten more than the MLE longer term from someone.

In that context, and based only on the extremely surface level analysis of Twitter emojis, Portis isn't overly impressed with PJ's plight.

I'm praying for the day a player decides to go after Drake on the sideline. Kind of irritates me that clown is allowed to sit there and harass players with impunity.

To anyone questioning the accuracy of his long range shooting percentage, I suggest googling (or "binging" whatever) "fournier."

Look man, I'm a lifelong Wisconsinite and the wholesome Deer District experience made me proud as a state resident, but I truly envy the unhinged chaos of Knicks fans. Dolan aside, these goofballs need some hoop joy in their life.

NSFW but that is more an indictment of your workplace than anything else. Powerful Desus Nice cameo.

Bogut weighs in.

Aussies more broadly do not seem pleased with Baby Ben.

It’s not good for either party, in my opinion. Ben’s side of things, training with your phone in your pocket, not being glued in to what’s going on,” Bogut told SEN on Wednesday.

“Unfortunately, he has form doing these kinds of things; we experienced it with the national team.

“There’s not going to be too much sympathy for him, but hopefully they can sort it out and both parties can have something positive to come out of it.”
