When I die, I hope they say I made the eSports industry a better place than I made millions of dollars.

Best part of this tweet is that Charlotte is so irrelevant that the ESPN guy didn't realize they aren't the Bobcats anymore.

I think this deal is actually won by Atlanta.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Did Dwight sign with NIke?

Dwight Howard from MVP level player to traded for junk at 31. Back injuries can ruin anyone. (and not being allowed to use stickum.)

To be fair the end cost for the Lakers for Dwight was two second round picks as well.

Eh, his deal is just two years. Dwight's not really good anymore but he's certainly better than Plumlee, and as someone posted Clifford has a lot of experience with how to best use him.

The importance of this mission cannot be overemphasized

It's not even much of a salary dump, I don't understand.

Howard $23m x 2 years

Plumlee $12.5m x 3 years
Belinelli $6m x 1 year

So you save $5m this year, $10.5m next year, but then have a Plumlee stuck on your books (not even the semi-decent Plumlee either) for 2019-20 for $12.5m.

We're going to get our first NBA workplace GM bullying grievance. Problem is it'll be thrown out because calling someone a "fag" over and over again is perfectly fine in North Carolina.

How is all this happening and the Draft hasn't even occurred yet?

I like that pick for Charlotte. Get the coveted 31st pick, notable for being more valuable than the couple picks before it, and a decentish center who will generate a little buzz and kill your locker room. Belly Nelly adds another team to his belt.

Sources said on Tuesday that the Cavaliers have been notified that Butler hopes to stay with the Bulls and would be reluctant to commit his long-term future to Cleveland. Butler, sources said, remains intent on trying to lead the Bulls back to Eastern Conference prominence.

The Lakers and Knicks should just forever not be allowed to have assets because they will always squander them on some far-fetched scheme.
