Let's get this poo poo back on track by talking about how Gatorade is our favorite electrolyte-providing hydration drink product. There's nothing I love more than going down to the local liquid outlet and purchasing large amounts of Gatorade.

Gatorade.

He supposedly has sold 5,000 of those drat shoes. Which is 2.5M gross. Ben Simmons' deal with Nike is 4M a year.

This could be an early thing where he won't sell much more than this or it could have a long tail. I have no idea. I also have no clue whether the next shoe is going to sell the same or if this was just a novelty thing many rich folks bought into.

I wonder if running your own shoe brand based on Alibaba fulfillment is going to become a thing for young ballers after this

Actually Gatorade is good and good. What's everyones favorite Gatorade flavor? Mine is orange by far, gimme that poo poo in a bucket. I like the lemon flavors too especially if it's chilled but my problem with them is that you can smell my breath from a mile away by the time I'm half finished with the bottle

When I was a kid I thought Red was the best but now that I'm a grown up and I realized that gatorade was invented for hangovers and not for sports I cant get enough of Orange. Orange is the only correct choice outside of maybe yellow.

Probably not very much, but OKC is in desperate need of rotation players so who knows how much they would match to

e: It would be unconscionable if he made more money than Tony Allen, who is currently getting $5m. Sorry Andre

nothing will happen. The hardcores will want Casey fired and will probably be nervous if they bring everyone back but even with the acquisitions the collective expectations were low. Toronto sports was poo poo for so long having a team win give or take 50 and win a playoff round is good enough. Plus it's easy to be like "we played Lebron..."

Raptor fans here wont actually meltdown because we'e been doing it all season.

He's likely to make more money. That's how contracts work when there's a new CBA percentage. Otherwise you look like John Wall and sound stupid everytime you complain about how everyone has a higher salary than you when no one made you take the long years.

As a sane person, 8-10 million annually. Someone will offer him Gilchrist money.

I feel like his defense might be overrated as a free floating cog and not a piece of the old OKC with Durant system, but he's still a pretty good defender. He really has to be on the flooor with at least 3.5 shooters which deducts a lot from his contract, the going rate for fatally flawed starting caliber players was something like 9m per year, last offseason. Now that there's less money to spend, let's say 8m per year for 3 years, the last year is a team option.

Him and Ryan Anderson are basically polar opposites but offense is more useful.

The worst defender is not as bad as the worst offensive player in today's NBA. Anderson being able to shoot from 30 feet will always be more useful than Tony Allen.

I think it's a bad idea to sign offer sheets (and thus think restricted free agency is really bad).

I say this every year but the Raps are great regular season team because they are deep and play hard and that gets you 107 ppg and a bunch of wins in the east. It just sucks that in the playoffs where people are focus and rested and game planning and not hungover those advantages go away and it comes down to match ups and talent.
It's less of a testament to the Raps and more towards the rest of the league being unprepared game-to-game that this team wins so many games.

No meltdowns since we've seen this poo poo all season (for years, really) and got it out our system during that massive losing streak. Nobody's getting fired since the Raps somehow avoided not getting swept by Giannis. Being swept by LeBron is good enough to keep Casey considering ownership is cheap and he's on the first year of a 3-year extension (lol). As for players, the Raps can't afford to keep a bunch of players expiring this year, which is good since they're all trash anyway.

What I would like to see at game 4 though is for Casey to wear his Mavs championship ring to inspire the team again.

that's literally every good eastern conference team that doesn't have lebron, though

the amount of rounds an eastern conference team can make it in the playoffs is the number of rounds they get to play until they hit lebron, there's really no point in even having an eastern conference playoff until he retires.

2/18 from 3 vs. 13/23. That stretch where Korver swished 2 back-to-back completely deflated the Raps and their crowd.

In their postgame, Sportsnet were talking about Lowry possibly leaving in the offseason, which I hadn't even considered. Where could he end up if he walks?

Any place where they need a point guard and 20+ million in cap space.
