Is Lauri too good for the tank,

Kawhi being on the Lakers is worth $27Million extra to the sponsors? If the sponsors were really fraudulent, wouldn't they want to make as much money as possible? Not give it away? I know this is the super fishy part, but I just don't know how Ballmer/Clippers can get away with this...

Can you explain to me again why the scamming company would want to pay someone to play for the Clippers? How would this "increase the value of their sponsorship"? I know this isn't your explanation, just trying to understand what is meant by that, if you know.

yes

Balmer is being accused of giving Kawhi an extra $28Million under the table that did not go on the Clippers books and didn't count towards the cap.

I'm not really sure, you could be right. The point that Zach made is that the penalties are so stiff and that the evidence doesn't have to be great, so most teams are too scared to do anything. I don't know if the league is really scared of Balmer though. The second apron rules were...

Is Nurkic too good for the tank?

Listened to Zach Lowe on this topic and he covered it well. Some points that don't necessarily align with the comments here: - This isn't happening all the time. Front offices are careful with this stuff. - The other teams are very upset about this, this is a very big deal. - Per the CBA the...

My initial thought is that there will be multiple draft picks lost, Balmer and others given a year long suspension, and Kawhi forfeiting some money. Then I go to ESPN and this isn't even on their front page...

I know that Tony has been in Utah for a long time as a sports writer, so him not covering a Utah team is a really big deal. I'm assuming he will be moving? So, yeah, big life change for him. It's just strange that Tony has been basically business as usual on Twitter?

It's interesting that Tony hasn't said anything on Twitter? I listened to Locke for the first time in months to hear what he had to say about this and he didn't say much. Also the audio quality was even worse than normal. At least it wasn't Lief.

Maybe he just wanted to live in New Zealand for awhile.

Is he playing in Australia again this year? It's hard for me to really understand the NBL right now. Maybe that's the next league I try to deep dive (last year was the French league).

This is mostly true. Most of what I saw from NAW happened during this season when he and THT were trading off games. I really liked NAW during that stretch and thought he looked like a keeper.

I think the biggest difference between NAW and THT is that NAW recognized that he could be a role player and he adjusted his game accordingly. NAW started his career as an inefficient scorer who didn't do much else, but came to Utah and really bought in to being a defender/ball mover.

With THT out of the league and NAW getting a bag I think we can officially crown NAW as the better player. 3/4 of our board are awful talent evaluators, lol.

The Joker trying to catch up to Lauri.

glad he's one of the good guys

Nurkic had 18pts/6reb in 21 minutes.

There is still almost 2 months until the start of NCAA basketball. Brutal.
