You know, I can't even keep track of all these different max deals anymore.

What are we calling the new MegaSuperMax deal in the new CBA?

6 year max extension maybe. That's the new rule.

so six years at 35% with 7.5% raises. Obviously this has to be the bird rights team.

Best Milsap could do is

Bird rights team 5 years 35% 7.5% raises (the old SUPERMAX)

non bird 4 years 35% 4.5% raises.

I think!! I might be wrong!

The Red Rocket was maybe the only apt and organic NBA nickname in the last 30 years.

My friend found a Bonner autographed Raptors hat in a value village for 10 bucks and immediately bought it. He assumed it was real, if only because no one in the world would bother forging that signature.

In highschool my friend got Bonner's phone number. I think possibly from the phone book. We called him a few times during our lunch hour and once he answered. We just told him we were big fans. He told us he thought that was cool but that we probably shouldn't call again.

I think it is just very apparent that building around Paul George does not totally work. He seems like the ultimate NBA second Banana. He plays great defense at multiple positions, has size and mobility, is a good 3 point shooter and can squeeze into multiple positions. He just is not an efficient enough scorer to have as your #1 guy.

I wish I could see him on a team with someone like Prime Dwayne Wade, Lebron or CP3. But it was never meant to be.

Would you say he would be good with a 7 footer who can spot up from 3, put up nice offensive numbers, be a beast near the defensive basket and have a weird but slightly cool hair style?

Paying 20 million+ for someone's age 33-37 years does not seem like a wise decision unless it is LeBron James.

No disrespect to Red Rocket, a great nickname, but 30 years? Penny, The Worm, AK47, Vanilla Gorilla, Bad Porn, The Chairman, Starbury, Big Baby, Crash, Big Country, Tractor Traylor, The Glove, Franchise, White/Spanish Chocolate, Skip to My Lou, The Admiral, Reignman...but absolutely note that none of those guys started their career in the past decade.

A good nickname cannot just be a play on your actual name. King James is like the most obvious and generic nickname possible.
