    Well at least KLeonard has earned some perks.
    PG3 on the other hand is a perfect case of "where there's smoke there's fire.
    How many rumors have to come out about what a shitty teammate he is before we stop wanting to sign his ass.

    According to today's NYT morning brief, essential workers and folks over 65 will get vaccinated in February and March. I'll send you some pics from the games. ;)

    I'm not an essential worker, but I'm essentially a jerk....guess that doesn't count

    I am over 65 though.

    Jordan may not have been a nice guy, but he was unquestionably a leader. I doubt many people have assigned that label to Kawhi. When you're aloof and entitled, it's tough to instill good team values in everyone else ... "do as I say, not as he does."

    I put in plenty of Jordan-hating work when he was active. But just to be sure, I refuse to watch that fucking Jordan love-fest documentary that everyone was watching in the early days of the pandemic.

    Yeah, they still have non-game day merch sales and sponsorships with the TV deals but they have said like 100 times that they lose at least 40% of their revenue without live attendance but I don't know if that factors in the expenses of fan attended game day or not.

    Yeah it's 40% of the expected around 9 billion. So, 3.6B ... a bit higher than 40-50M. The fact is I don't think the teams can collect on certain sponsors, they make a shit ton out of concessions and game day merch, parking and I'm sure stuff that's out of my scope of understanding but both the owners and NBAPA have quoted that 40%.

    They obviously have Butler and they gave Duncan Robinson a lot of Jones' minutes, they also love Iggy and got Moe for 3 million or some shit and I'm pretty sure Jones said that Miami did offer but other teams seemed like a better opportunity for him. I think he took our offer because we said he'd get a ton of PT/start and we guaranteed two seasons but also gave him the option to make himself a big raise after just one. So with us he gets the opportunity to get a bunch more money without even having to bet on himself. I'm sure regardless of what Miami offered him sitting that entire playoff run didn't sit too well with him.

    Is Wall even healthy? Or should I say ever healthy?

    I don't think they're done. I don't see Wall and Harden as complementary anymore than Harden and Russ but maybe they do. I still think they're gong to struggle but we won't have to wait long to see.

    Who cares -- Houston is purging itself of that toxic marriage. The people that thought it would work are long gone by now too. Bye Russ-icia!
