Anyone 6'4" or under with no injury history, has video evidence of dunking in a game, and 50m or more earnings , younger the better

Over 6'4" gotta figure you're in for a lifetime of injury issues and not fitting into normal person places

Austin Reaves is a real good choice

Sorting by contract value, Bradley Beal and Zach Lavine seem like the best choices. If they're too star-ish, I'd work my way down to Darius Garland.

SGA would be a great pick, because on top of getting one big contract, he has superstar level talent, but only die-hard NBA fans are aware of his existence.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Nikola Jokić had the most turnovers this postseason with 70. Only nine other players had more than his 3.5 turnovers per game. His 12.8% turnover percentage this postseason was 9th among 19 qualifying centers.

I'm just saying there are areas he can improve.

It's really not particularly risky. He's not even like bragging about how great he is Ala Nick Nurse, he's just making fun of poo poo that like literally everyone else was also making fun of.

He might get fired in a year, but that doesn't like negate anything he said about this team this year.


Everyone should be encouraged to talk poo poo. It makes things more fun.

Lebron will be fine getting ribbed a bit, he can go home and hug his millions.

If you're going to get fired regardless, might as well have fun with it while it lasts.
