I'll always be a Jazz fan. I like some of the young talent. I am considering giving up NBA basketball altogether though. They have made it too much of a PITA for me to watch.

The CBA only requires circumstantial evidence to enact punishment. There is plenty of evidence.

First time Giddy agreed to something over 17.

It is one thing to help a player get legitimate sponsorships or even involved in arms'-length business opportunities vs. paying someone that much to do nothing. If there are related party transactions, there should be safe guards, diligence, compensation studies, etc., to ensure the...

Especially when there are a number of employees that evidently reported that they money for Kawhi was to get around the salary cap limitations. I can't see any situation where a company would give Kawhi that much money to be with the Clippers except the Clippers. Sure the CEO committed fraud...

That would make it worse, especially if Ballmer was behind it. NDAs won't prevent what is already out of the bag.

There were multipe rank and file employees that have all reported the same thing. It is one thing to help your players get endorsements that pay them FMV for actual endorsements vs getting paid $28mm where the only stipulation is you stay with the Clippers. And the contract comes in as you sign...

Kawhi figured the Clippers paid him millions to sit on the bench and do nothing, why not let Aspiration do the same? :)

Definitely more upside, but Tonje is a better shooter.

It is very similar to wood as far as traction goes, maybe even better. When playing you don't notice any difference other than the sound as the tiles are not as solid. With the metal building dribbling is loud, even with underlayment and insulation. The Sport Court brand were quieter but almost...

My friend did too. They installed a retractable net to keep ball off windows and the kitchen. My friend's mom hated it. :)

I have a small 3 bd lake house in MT. My wife kids love it. Lots of visitors. Lots of work for me. A boat would make it worse. I like whitewater, not lakes. We have human powered boats/sups. No motorized boats to tow and do maintenance on. I'll keep for another 10 years for the kids and then...

We use ours for birthday parties, kids ride bikes (no skidding!) scooters, play soccer, badminton year round. Such a bonus in the short days in winter. I shoot for an hour most nights, Have kids practices there and can walk inside the house after (my court is in an outbuilding). Saves me from...

Utah has an indoor court every four blocks, many of which doors pop open with a hard pull (power of the priesthood I expect). I lived in Indiana (would not go back). Was much easier to find good runs in Utah. I live on 13 acres in WA, so not a lot of neighbors. At least two neighbors on my...

The Sixers would likely hit the 2nd apron to sign Grimes to a contract. Make an offer and see if they match. Worse case is the Jazz get a bit more coming to them in cash from their portion of luxury tax revenue.
