  1. I actually don't even know what a coffee barrel is - aren't coffee beans transported/stored in bags? I suppose chameleon steeps their cold brew in barrels? [emoji848]
  2. Seen on instagram I know this is just a marketing gimmick.... And I hate myself a little for being intrigued....But I'm intrigued.
  3. [emoji102] I have slightly mixed emotions. On one hand I love him as much as I love Timmy - they are both impeccable IMO. On the other, I don't want to see him hang on too long. I wonder if Marco allows for Manu to get more built in nights off. Could we see 2-3 game stretches where you just plug Marco instead of Manu? Manu was always seemed far more effective after a few days rest.
  4. The one they landed on is the 76ers doctor!
  5. Think that's right. But if Bron is in LA, doesn't a lineup of Simmons, Kawhi, Embiid + shooters feel like a threat to Golden State? Not to mention - it's Pop and Brett Brown here. "This is family business."
  6. LeBron to LA seems like a lock Rumblings that PG is re-upping for another year in OKC Unless the Lakers throw in several unprotected picks then my money is on a friends+family deal with Philly.
  7. I wonder if there is precedent for recovering from Kawhi's specific injury? Seems like at worst, he may never be the same - or at best, will have a shorter prime. If only there were a team known for maximizing an injured players' career. [emoji848]
  8. [emoji102] Interesting. Makes me wonder who ultimately makes the call when it comes to... Say.... LaMarcus' heart?
  9. 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
  10. 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.
  11. Newb question, how does one identity the recipe that is in a given Four Roses bottle?
  12. 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.
  13. 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?
  15. Martin and his husband, Blake Macon, were married in Fort Worth in 2015. Curveball!
  16. How did you install the Bluetooth? Googled the same project for my 09 ES and it looked pretty damn complicated
  17. I think Dallas tears are still a touch sweeter... But by damn Rox tears are tasty!
  18. Orange-pineapple? I am getting the diabeetus just thinking about it
  19. 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?
  20. Friend of a friend sent this from the Atlanta airport duty free
  21. Well he does have a BMW, a Porsche, a house, a monster truck, and 30 companies
  22. Looked like it was Simmons fault
  23. 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.
  24. 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/
  25. 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.
