Whew, our national nightmare is over.  For now.

They are still an incredibly talented team.  Just not sure how it all fits together or if Kyrie and Simmons even show up.

[Deleterious]

Believe it or not.  There were rumors this was not going to happen.

Not this summer or it looks like they caved to the players. Yes if they get out to a bad start.

Somone posted a picture of Magic at a medical facility and joked that he donated blood.

It got enough traction that Magic had to address it and obviously say he did not donate blood.

KD looks real bad in all this. He gets his coach, he gets his team, everything catered to his needs and not even a year later requests a trade, demands that the coach he handpicked get fired as well as the GM who catered to all his needs (if rumors are to be believed) and now, somehow someway, he and the Nets are supposed to live in harmony? Ya, right.

They have the talent to contend, I think Simmons is an ideal fit with that group. but I doubt The Diva Trio will last the year without causing turmoil.

Bosnia-Herzegovina played France today is some sort of FIBA qualifier.  Sounds like Gobert was dominated by Jusuf Nurkić.

boo.

[Deleterious]

That is good news.

Luka went out today with a bad ankle.  But he did return later in the game so he must be OK.

 

[Deleterious]

Seems like an overpay.

Sinclair had partnered with two investment banks. The rumor is they are going to sell off their 21 regional sports networks, one of which is Bally's Detroit.

[Deleterious]

Yes. That Rodman.

Good for her...

Knicks roster is a lesson in how to pay a lot of money and not build a contender. Randle, Brunson, Barrett, Fournier, and Robinson account for nearly their entire cap (roughly 115M). That core is reminiscent of the Dre Pistons - bunch of guys that'll maybe get you to an 8th seed without much ceiling left for growth of that core. At least Fournier is a team option the following year, but the rest are there for a while.

Rumor: Alex Rodriguez “scrambling” to come up with his half of money to buy Timberwolves

Quote

However, A-Rod at the time had failed to come up with his full share [of the first ownership payment], leaving Lore to cover the balance, three sources close to the situation said. As a result, Lore now has a roughly 13% share in the Timberwolves while A-Rod has amassed a mere 7%…

Now, terms of the deal require A-Rod and Lore to make the next 20% payment by year’s end, and A-Rod is scrambling to raise his half in addition to the cash he needs for the down payment, the three sources confirmed.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if A-Rod becomes a subservient No. 2 to Lore,” a source said, predicting that Lore might end up buying more than half and controlling the team.
