Yeah he's delusional. But Sixers can't really afford to lose him. I'd say he'd get an annual dealing the $12M range.

He is not delusional. He is ambitious. If you don't shoot for the stars you hit the tree tops

A person can have ambitious delusions or delusional ambitions. The two aren't mutually exclusive. I'd say he has ambitious delusions.

Yes, I agree. But sometimes a person can just believe in himself and in the context of NBA salaries might as well push for all you can. Plus, how much is his agent telling him he should get. Let's see what he gets in the end.

We all know how petty Dolan is. Would be even sign off on it? Or Durant?

Call me petty too cause I can't forget or forgive 2010 and most importantly it doesn't make us better UNLESS he signs here for the minimum. But trading KAT or a combo of OG plus another player makes no sense.

Bobby's terminology is confusing. "Triggering the 2nd apron" I think just means hard capped to the 2nd apron vs being over the 2nd apron which is a different set of penalties. But quite honestly this **** is confusing no one seems to know

Heard about this today on First Take. Tony Parker put in a fully staffed, 24hr restaurant, in his mansion that he's running indefinitely. Just for friends and family I believe.

I remember seeing a segment on cool basements where someone put in a fully stocked underground shopping center with grocery store.

One of my favorite NY movies of the 70s is "Cops and Robbers" with Joe Bologna and Frank Gorman. One of them visits a mobster, who put a bowling alley in his basement/ballroom. Sounds weird but its cool as F.

Really lopsided for 2 teams, in a bad way.

Show off

I used to love those but it was like playing the snack version of “Russian Roulette”. Bite down too hard and you have boiling oil shooting into your mouth.

It’s so wild how it’s beneficial in so many ways for Suns to waive Beal.

I think they're just better off letting the contract expire. The Suns aren't going to be contention anytime soon.

You’d rather pay the additional $230m and forgo getting access to the MLE if this were your team?

yeah, you right Skipped over the tax implications. I probably wouldn't use the MLE though. Whose left out there to sign?

I think you can trade into an MLE too, use it like a TPE.

Definitely not Malik Beasley though
