    Fun fact, Speedy Gonzales was my all time fav cartoon as a child.
    More fun fact. My parents despised that I liked in their words. 'A cartoon made for spics shouldn't be played on the tv I paid for.
    Therefore, I was only able to watch it at my grandma's house. She didn't care as long as I was happy. May she RIP.

    Apparently, Lou's deal is 3yrs, 24 mil total. And only about 1.5 mil guaranteed in year 3. --Shams

    Market is seriously deflated. We need to go after some RFAs at this deadline, cuz we might be able to get some steals in the summer on their second contracts. Hood/Randle/etc.

    See - that's an amazing deal. Now LAC have a valuable trade chip, or they can keep him for themselves.

    I hear ya. I’d love you to point out something I said outrageous though. Enough to be put in his company. I’ll wait for this.

    How many years running have you predicted Minn would make the playoffs?
    Shit you were going ham the year before they drafted KAT about how good they were going to be.
    That's at least as bad as when he says 'gsw is trash and they'll miss the playoffs this year'.

    Me saying Minny was going to be good is “outrageous” ? You got to get out more bro. And to say that’s the same as calling one of the best teams in the history of the nba and reigning champs as “trash” are nowhere near similar. As you were.

    I envy teams with cap space this Summer. Some great deals to be had. I think the likes of Thomas, Bradley and Jordan will sign deals way below what you would have expected.

    Agreed about RFAs. I know a lot on here are still sure Nurkic is going to get a max but I think he will get maximum $15M and probably closer to $10M.

    I think the people who thought he might get max (myself included) thought he’d be more like 18/8/3/1.5 while being efficient. He is not that. Will likely never be the player we saw after the deadline last year. 12-14m per year is a fair range I think. Ironically that’s the same thing plumlee got.

    I don't know. Olshey is still the GM. He has a history of bidding against himself and overpaying for players. Nurk may still get the max....

    You got to learn how to read bro.
    You saying Minn was going to be good BEFORE THEY DRAFTED KAT IN 2015. Was outrageous, and just as silly as when KS says GSW sucks because they lost by 30 points to Utah.

    This one hurts, had a lot of money on DK with Anthony Davis in all my lineups. Crappy thing is there was no news about this before it suddenly got postponed so no way I could pivot off Davis.
