DOINK!- More layoffs at ESPN
20-30 years ago, we knew more about other teams and players on those teams because we were forced to watch SportsCenter on loop just waiting for the 30 second highlight of our own team. Now you just follow your team(s) on apps with on demand video clips. ESPN’s attempts to fill the tv void with commentary have been a failure.- Texans, Fire Up Your VPNs/Present Your Government ID to View Porn Online (Now they want to ban all porn nation-wide)

Meanwhile Jalen Green is banging Josh Christopher. Can we still trade Green for Jaylen Brown or Dame or somebody?- Marvel Cinematic Universe the Endless Phase: Tripping Balls (Spoilers)
People will eventually stop watching when the movies are comprised only of Marvel heroes’ kids, siblings, understudies, etc. It’s not worth it just to continue this universe’s storyline. They should finish this off quick, shift to X-men, then just reboot Avengers in a decade with a new, younger cast. They’re gonna need a new Spiderman too since making one movie a year for $10m and banging Zendaya has put Tom Holland’s mental health at stake and he needs a break.- AirBnB Troubles?

The maths work out like: Started with $60.9m cap space Signed FVV ($43.3m/yr), Brooks ($20m/yr), Aussie backup center from PHX ($8m/yr). [~$71.3m/yr total against the $60.9 cap space] Traded away KJ Martin, TyTy, Garuba for rights to old euro dude who will never play.- 2023 Houston Rockets Offseason Thread - Time to Start Thinking About Winning Again
“Because they had to spend it” is lazy and not a reason to be wasteful. They had to spend around $40m to get to the salary cap floor, and FVV’s contract basically did that. If they wanted Dillon Brooks and had to overpay, that’s fine it’s just an unprovable argument of did they have to give him 4/$80m. In two years, Green and Sengun need resigning. There’s a not small chance Dillon Brooks sucks by then and still has 2 yrs/$35m (? unknown descending value contract). The next year Smith and Eason need more money. The only cap room to sign a free agent will be FVV coming off the books.- 2023 Houston Rockets Offseason Thread - Time to Start Thinking About Winning Again
Rockets overpaid for second tier point guard Fred Van Vleet at tune of 3 yrs $130m. Had to overpay to get him but who knows if that much. At least third year is a team option. Hopefully he makes the offense better and helps develop the young guys. Drastically overpaid for Dillon Brooks (4 yrs for $80m). Had to overpay, but probably could’ve got him for something closer to 3 yrs $50m. I thought we had like $60m in cap space to sign guys outright, but apparently did the Brooks deal as a sign and trade with Memphis so we will give up some assets. Hopefully his defense runs off on the young guys. We did not offer to overpay enough to Brook Lopez and he resigned with Bucks for 2 yrs $48m. Confusing that we couldnt have overpaid Dillon Brooks quite as much and put a little more in the offer to Lopez. As some kind of backup plan, we signed a backup Aussie big man from the Suns. We gave KJ Martin to the Clippers for two 2nd round picks. We offloaded TyTy Washington and Garuba to the Hawks plus gave them two 2nd rounders and $1.1m cash for their trouble (received some euro dude’s rights who will never play in the NBA) Rockets are part of some multi team trade that sent Patty Mills from Brooklyn to us then to OKC, and no word why we were even involved of what we give up or get back.- Uniform Pron

Sounds great for Houston, except they signed Brooks for defense culture. If Herro + Robinson + picks from MIA wasn’t enough for Portland, if we took Herro out of a multi-team deal what would be inserted for more value than Herro? You think Portland wants KPJ and Tate more than they’d want Herro?- 2023 Houston Rockets Offseason Thread - Time to Start Thinking About Winning Again

This feels like another classic case of a Houston team bidding against themselves. FVV is top 3 of a bad FA class. He has been making $21M a year. Who out there was offering him close to $40M per year? Plus all the income tax savings that most professional athletes seem to ignore when picking or snubbing Texas teams. At least it’s only two years. Hopefully none of the young guys get pissy and start locker room drama when FVV is pulling down over $40 and the 6 first round guys from the past 3 drafts make like $38M combined.- NBA 2023-24 Off Season

Sure, those white kids, not all white kids. There are also wealthy, upper class, and upper middle class minority kids who have resources and can get coached up. It’s inaccurate to say all or most fringe-acceptance white kids accessed grandfather’s trust fund to get private SAT tutoring. This Columbia concept of considering applicants’ economic status is intriguing because that is more relevant. Excludes the Carlton Bankses and gives consideration to rural, farm, and/or trailer trash kids who have the talent and want to level up.- NBA 2023-24 Off Season
Green and Sengun’s rookie deals are over in two years, so they probably want maximum flexibility that offseason to sign FAs and extend those two, while still having Jabari Smith, Eason, Amen Thompson, and Whitmore on rookie deals.- 2023 Houston Rockets Offseason Thread - Time to Start Thinking About Winning Again
