dion's the best mug of the year. Wade's throat slash is up there, especially since it cost him 25 grand, the $25,000 mean mug. Post your top 2016-17 mean mugs.

When I die, I hope they say I made the eSports industry a better place than I made millions of dollars.
I've got some questions and have been busy all day today. Is adding Hayward a big positive for Boston if they have to dispose of Bradley, Smart, and Crowder (and Olynyk already gone).

Where does Hayward lineup with Tatum and Brown the two top 3 SFs they've drafted two years in a row before spending all their free agency dollars on a third one?

I'm really confused by their roster right now but assume it will make sense somehow by the season.

Nick Young is gonna have to play what, 5-10 significant minutes a game in the Finals? Everything else is gravy. He is a warm body to put on the floor and not blow a lead after the starters put them up 20-30 points in the first half of regular season games.

They are going to teach Swaggy how to run around a zillion screens,

it going turn him into Klay Thompson part II,

he's going to get a huge contract from someone else after next year,

and he's immediately going to revert into the iso chucker he really is

It is all preordained

Someone that's better at the cap, is it true that if Hayward just took 500k less, they don't have to trade Smart?

Really? cuz he said he'd be taking less if it helped the team re-sign Iggy/Livingston like a month before the season ended. I'm just glad Clark is gone, that he was replaced with Young and Casspi is amazing. McGee and Pachulia are expected to re-sign, too.

They ought to add a Mayan rule that the winning team get to go to the top of the Washington Monument and get their beating hearts torn out and tossed into a golden hoop. I imagine that would solve those ring chasing bitches.

People expected that but they didn't expect it to be that much, particularly since at a certain point all it did was save the owner some money

He didn't need to take a pay cut that large to keep Iggy and Livingston, so yeah it was unexpected.

it didn't help the team re-sign iggy and livingston because they everyone's bird rights. it doesn't help the team sign anyone else because they're over the cap either way. the only net effect is durant making $10M less and lacob paying $25M less.

either durant decided to do lacob a favor or lacob blackmailed him into taking less by saying he wouldn't resign iggy or livingston if he had to pay a big luxury tax bill.

it sets a bad precedent to expect players to take massive discounts to help nobody but the owner
