    Pirating the illegal stream will put you in double super secret probation.

    Every time I see it reported that a player said something like that, it just comes off as a big flashing warning light to stay away from that guy.

    At the same time...if this were in fact the case, why would he want to go to the Clippers, where he would arguably be the third option.

    Or they could just put that energy into making an easier accessible way to stream so people would just happily pay….

    I feel real bad for MIN fans. I agree with he’ll leave, I don’t agree that the reason he leaves is the small market. Dame stayed here for 11 years, and we’re a small market team. The reason Edwards leaves is because their FO royally F’d them for the what, the next six years? They had a good thing going, but they weren’t good enough to make an all in move.

    The days of Dirk/Kobe/Duncan are over. Giannis won a ring for Milwaukie, and even he now is a threat to leave. Realistically, the clock starts ticking to compete when Shae and Scoot start entering their rookie extension. Then we have a 5-7 year window with this backcourt to win a chip. The MIN situation should be a precautionary tale.

    My good sir, you sound downright downtrodden.
