    Less than 1% of their pay but yes. I don’t understand what Cloud is talking about. What exactly will she be doing that will put her on the frontlines?

    idk but it’s not like the WNBA has a huge platform. She’ll get more attention by not playing.

    When an article reports a refusal to play, the reporter should be responsible for telling readers the exact financial sacrifice. If he can't calculate it, then he shouldn't be a professional sports reporter. THEN we'll decide whether the player is an unselfish hero.

    From the other thread on this.

    This answers it, assuming that Woj's verb "could" means "will." So Ariza should be praised, other than the part about abandoning his team when it most needs him in the playoffs.

    After this season ends, could (I mean will) one of our board experts tell us exactly how much money Ariza lost? Thanks.

    I don't hate that, although it wouldn't give us the three point shooting we had with Ariza.

    If only Rodney Hood could stage a miraculous recovery.

    ET would give us someone to throw at wings defensively and a guy to run the second unit. He’s also great in the locker room. But yeah, I prefer others.

    Broekhof shot .405 on threes over 60 games in the last two seasons. Probably not much of a defender, but he is Australian; they are tough, aren't they?

    Assuming all these free agents are healthy, in shape, and looking to play, my preference sheet

    1. Crabbe
    2. Shumpert
    3. G. Green

    I also wouldn’t be surprised if we converted Hoard to take up the other opening. Wouldn’t we need to convert him to have him under control next year?

    Also, what’s the window for signing players? Is it up until the season resumes or is it shorter?

    We survived Anthony freaking Tolliver. Evan Turner looks like Michael Jordan compared to him

    Hezonja didn’t start well at all but was actually pretty decent once the calendar hit February. And the defense was pretty much always there.
