    It does sound like either he's got a little growing up to do, or he's just an asshole.

    But, he's our asshole - at least for the next 21 hours or so.

    So Utah has effectively turned him into a Bond villain

    I've been to SLC. I wasn't that impressed - but I never got the urge to stick lasers on sharks' heads!

    According to the tweet when Woj said the Thunder had received the offer sheet, the Thunder has until tommorow at 2PM pacific.

    I would be willing to switch brains wit anyone who thinks they won't match. Still sharp as a tack, but without that pesky long and short term memory

    Yeah. My guess after Aldridge, Dame ain't going to let anything go sour in the locker room EVER AGAIN.

    No way they don't match. I feel like teams that won't match come out maybe a day or two early to say so. Regardless, I've been staunch in my opinion that they match. So, I won't take your deal, MM.

    After the 2017 off-season, 4 players may account for about $90 million in cap space and thats being conservative.

    EDIT: In OKC's case

    I see why teams wait the full three days regardless of their decision; we can't offer a sheet to another RFA until they match or not, no matter how much caps space we have. It's in OKC's best interest to fuck us a bit even if they don't match.

    Yeah, Dame is friendly, team-oriented, sociable, but he ain't gonna take shit. My fave is still the dude on Twitter that knocked the Special Olympics kid. The next was the one when he was like, "when your hair line show up."

    Kid is smart, but he doesn't take shit. As far as attitude, I see shades of Payton without all the bullshit talk. Oakland representin'.

    Of course. I mean, we've fucked with them on some level (though on some levels I still maintain we did them a favor).

    The favor is similar to the favor Tex did us: "at least we have to make the decision now and get it over with."

    I'm not sure max contract and 15% trade kicker is a favor

    It isn't. I legitimately believe they're contemplating not keeping him because it could potentially screw them in the ass in the comic years.
