    LMAO what is he going to do, take the $5 million tax MLE or the vet minimum from the Clippers?

    Just seems like Irving's group is trying to pressure the Mavs into giving him more years. If I'm Dallas I give him a one year deal but at the max, freaking nutcase. Even on a one year deal I'd be concerned he could go AWOL.

    Call his bluff, if he wants to leave and give up ~$30 million then let him go. Call his bluff.

    He's said as such in previous years. Not in direct words but implications that the big 3 stuff doesn't work.

    What makes you post something like this? Did you just read something about OG and how they want like 3 firsts or something like that?

    It was a troll post on twitter. Looks like @DDolla fell for it.

    4 years- $100M? The Warriors are going to be writing some big LT checks.

    Cleveland stealing all the shooters from their rivals: Niang from Philly and Strus from Miami.

    Saying this for years
    Roundtable on ESPN's NBA free agency show talking about the Lakers signing and the Heat in no position to match some of their players leaving. Malika Andrews says "Maybe this is a sign of someone in the West, maybe the Pacific Northwest ...." Richard Jefferson immediately shuts her down. She's awful.

    But she is so gorgeous.

    I'm still bummed about Rachel Nichols getting run out of ESPN. She and I lived on the same floor in our freshman dorm at Northwestern and she seemed like a nice person.

    Miami's guys... I know they just made the finals, but it seems like it's just a bunch of guys who played reasonably well alongside two legit studs in Bam and Jimmy Butler.

    Gabe Vincent? Max Strus? **yawn** a couple of mid-.300 three point shooters who were in the right place at the right time. Not that they can't help their new teams, but I can't imagine Miami will miss them too much.
