  1. [emoji102] Interesting. Makes me wonder who ultimately makes the call when it comes to... Say.... LaMarcus' heart?
  2. Boston still has better assets, IMO It's too bad Brooklyn doesn't have more because I'm sure Pop wouldn't mind helping out Marksy
  3. Isn't it possible that all these leaks are simply the ham-handed negotiation tactics of an amateur agent? Uncle Dennis is not exactly a seasoned professional. All we've ever heard from Kawhi himself is that he wants to be here, and be healthy. I would bet the Spurs told Kawhi's team that the Supermax wasn't a lock because his health has been dicey. I'm guessing they explained they'd like to see him qualify for it again this year, and they'd offer it next summer. This was probably the Spurs starting point for negotiation. Uncle Dennis' move? Leak that Kawhi wants out, and force the Spurs to cave into either 1) offering supermax or 2) actually trading him.
  4. Newb question, how does one identity the recipe that is in a given Four Roses bottle?
  5. I think LeBron values being able to call the shots of the organization, so I think he and Pop are destined to only ever admire each other from afar.
  6. IMO Those are low rent compared to these: https://www.shop.utgolfclub.com/headwear/imperial-original-perf-texas-script-1

    Father's Day 2018

    It's my first fathers day. Our son was born the Friday after Mother's Day. I'd be really into the new e-go weed whacker or my go-to....which is any criquet polo.... But I should just ask for stuff for the newborn, right?
  8. Martin and his husband, Blake Macon, were married in Fort Worth in 2015. Curveball!
  9. How did you install the Bluetooth? Googled the same project for my 09 ES and it looked pretty damn complicated
  10. I think Dallas tears are still a touch sweeter... But by damn Rox tears are tasty!
  11. Orange-pineapple? I am getting the diabeetus just thinking about it
  12. The risk is that he's unrestricted, which ultimately gives him all the leverage if he thinks he can make up the money off the court....which seems to be the case. One of the reasons (maybe THE reason) why the Cavs moved Kyrie is because he threatened to get season-ending surgery if they didn't trade him. At which point he would have zero trade value, and walks at the end of the season leaving the Cavs with nothing to show for it. Would Kawhi play hard ball like this? Do Pop+RC want to find out?
  13. Friend of a friend sent this from the Atlanta airport duty free
  14. Well he does have a BMW, a Porsche, a house, a monster truck, and 30 companies
  15. Looked like it was Simmons fault
  16. What we don't know is whether or not Adidas promised to make him whole if he manages to get himself to LA. They're already paying Harden, Rose (lol), and Lillard. Possible, I guess.
  17. He would have to make up 90MM in endorsements though, not "just" 70. He's already walked away from the 20 MM shoe extension. Add that to potentially walking away from another 70 on the supermax. So over 5 years, he'd have to get an additional 18 MM a year off the court. For context, Blake Griffin was pulling in 8MM in endorsements as a Clipper. And he has a legit celeb personality. Here's the list of top off court earners annually according to Forbes: LeBron 52 Steph 42 KD 33 Harden 20 Russ 19 Kyrie, Lillard, Wade, 14 Giannis, Klay 13 Cleveland, Portland, Milwaukee, OKC on that list, proving market is not really even relevant. So KL's team is wagering that LA is worth 18+ a year off the court? More than twice what Blake was making. Even if he manages to match what Blake was getting, he's still giving up 50 MM over 5 years! Idiotic. Maybe they're the smartest guys in the room, because I don't see it. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbadenhausen/2018/02/17/the-2018-nba-all-stars-players-who-earn-the-most-from-endorsements/amp/
  18. one theory I used to buy was that PATFO approached Kawhi and his team (last summer? last season? who knows) about the potential of not extending the Supermax contract. Spurs way, loyalty, we'll take care of you down the road, etc etc. and Uncle Dennis got butthurt. I'm starting to doubt this theory more and more though. if that were true, it seems like it would've leaked by now.
  19. it does... but then why does the uncle seem to be angling for a move that costs his client $70 million over the course of his next contract? this after already turning down a $20 million shoe contract extension. if it's purely financial, then it really makes no sense!
  20. Kawhi + Pau for Fultz, Saric, Covington + 2018 first Where do we sign????? https://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/spurs/amp/For-Kawhi-Leonard-s-camp-trade-discussions-12878269.php Over the last few weeks, league sources told the Express-News the Sixers could make a push for Leonard this offseason and include their highly-coveted 2018 first-round pick. Add forward Dario Saric, forward Robert Covington, and last year's top overall pick Markelle Fultz, who is close with Dejounte Murray, to the mix, and the Sixers have an attractive package to offer the Spurs that also removes Leonard from the Western Conference. Sixers coach Brett Brown could also have an impact. Sources tell the Express-News Leonard would have no problem being coached by Brown, the former Spurs assistant coach. Also, the Sixers could take Pau Gasol off the Spurs' books, and have enough money under the salary cap to absorb the deal.
  21. That definitely sucked. Manu was playing with one arm. Ugh. But in retrospect, that upset ushered in the beautiful game.
  22. Same. They were never going to defeat the warriors but at least they didn't go out without a hell of a fight
  23. Gold medalist. World champ. Multiple NBA champ. Dude has one of the most decorated international careers in the history of the sport. It's not even a debate. There are some people who don't understand it's the BASKETBALL HoF, not just the NBA HoF. These people are ignorant.
