    He never used to do that shit as much last year. It's like he came into the season after making a bet with Curry and Durant "How many guys you think I can get away with kicking this year?" Curry shaking his head like "Damn I knew I should have bet more" and Durant is smiling like "Yeah, this is easy money!"

    Barnes has always been an asshole.

    "Barnes is accused of choking a woman during an argument at the club. Barnes then allegedly punched another woman and a man who attempted to break up the fight."

    "We do not believe a crime was committed and are hopeful no charges will be pressed," Barnes' attorney Alex Spiro told the website."

    Obviously, two different versions of what happened. Sounds like it's going to come down to a classic case of he said, she (and she and he) said. If the events described are close to true, how is choking a woman during an argument self-defense? Perhaps you could make a case that the second woman, the one he (allegedly) punched and the man he (allegedly) punched was self defense, but choking someone during an argument hardly seems like a defensive maneuver for someone who is 6'7" 226 lb., especially when you have another pretty big guy (6'11", 270 lb.) at your side.

    And, it's not like Barnes doesn't have a history of anger issues:

    "The NBA suspended Barnes two games last season after an altercation with former New York Knicks coach Derek Fisher.

    Barnes was also fined $15,000 for directing inappropriate language toward game officials during a loss to the Miami Heat last month."

    What were the Kings thinking when they signed Barnes, that he'd be a good role model for Cousins? Maybe they thought if they signed an even bigger douche, Cousins wouldn't look so bad by comparison.

    "The incident occurred hours after the Kings were in town to play the New York Knicks. Barnes played 17 minutes in the 106–98 loss, scoring two points on 1–11 shooting."

    It doesn't justify his (alleged) actions, but I guess that does help explain his anger.

    Talking about bad contracts. Thank goodness he's not on our team. At least ET is playing his way through his funk and contributing as a key bench player.

    If your agent calls you and says you're Olshey's 1st choice in the off season you should curl up in a ball and start crying. Your career is suddenly DOOMED!

    The tweets aren't loading, but based on the context, I assume this is about Chandler Parson. If so, reports of him needing surgery have been confirmed to be false.

    Hahaha. I totally thought of a meme I've seen recently.

    This would be the agent talking to his client.

    Unless DAL turns it around big time, Bogut might be available at the deadline. Would you bite if the price was right? His scoring is down in DAL, but he's again leading the league in DBPM for the 3rd time in the last 4 years. He's 4th in the league in TRB% and I'm sure Dame and C.J. could benefit from some of his patented falling backwards moving screens.

    Yep, but I think its difficult to match contracts here value wise without going over the tax.

    Eziele + Pat + 2nd make sense -> but Portland would be over the tax.

    60 after three, do they keep him in? He could pass up Kobe's 81 if they want to let him try.
