    Not the worst for us. I don't know if we ever had a chance. I wasn't high on him as everyone else was... I understood why, but I had my reservations. I just wanted to see a couple years of healthy before signing him, I suppose.

    We'll see. The reason why I'm pretty sure you're wrong this time? The huge increase in the number of "soccer" team jerseys I see people wearing (okay, mostly Man U, Barca and Chelsea) and the fact that Americans follow the Premier League in droves.

    I remember when the World Cup was held in the US and you had editorials in major newspapers about how stupid soccer was because you couldn't pick up the ball and run with it. Somehow I don't think that would fly any more. Well, Anne Coulter gave it a go...

    Options and performance clauses out the wazoo, I would think.

    I think he was perfect to play next to Dame.

    The Warriors' deal with Shaun Livingston will be three years, $16 million, league source tells Yahoo Sports.

    So that's their whole MLE.

    I don't know. I just don't see it. Just because people are watching it overseas doesn't mean anything. It just makes it even more niche, IMO. I'm just not sold on it.

    This makes a lot more sense if they've decided to cave on Klay-for-Kevin Love. [Edit: this guy had the same idea. And this guy.]

    But then again, maybe Shaun Livingston wasn't really looking for starters minutes, wanting to rest his knees.

    Unless it's a s&t, the stretch 5 is looking better and better

    I doubt it. The numbers match for the MLE, or most of it anyway.

    I think he'll be great next to Curry (or Thompson).

    The Milwaukee Bucks are shopping O.J. Mayo, according to league sources.

    Anyone want some Mayo?

    I wonder if Chicago would go for him. He is kinda what they need.

    Just got off the phone w/ Shaun Livingston. "Long time coming," he said. Brooklyn's contract limitations (only had taxpayer MLE) big factor.
