You can’t really buy better advertising as agent. You want every high school and college player to recognize your name. LeBron spent 20 years dropping Rich Paul’s name every chance he gets.

That wasn't a Starbucks was it? That person on the other end was far too engaged.


My favorite part is where he's thinking there is something they can do to get him to stay without realizing that "The Blazers" are why he's leaving in the first place and he's been basically telegraphing this for what, 5 solid years now?

"It'd be nice to be more competitive"
"I'd like to maybe see more playmakers in Portland"
"I'm not getting younger and while I'm loyal, maybe we can make some changes"

It looks like Houston may be trying to sign or acquire someone else before completing the brooks deal - that is why Brooks is a S&T and they're moving these various spare parts, so they can use the cap space for some other acquisition rather than just brooks - possibly around 15mil to play with. The ATL and Mills trade are connected to this, it might be some weird giant 4 team S&T. Which conceptually cool, but I have basically no idea who is available and makes sense to sign with that space.

I feel a bit better about the moves after digesting, I'd still like full confirmation that FVV is 2 years and a TO but several generally reliable rockets beat writers are saying the FO says it is. My biggest complain is the 4th year on Brooks. That being said its not a giant contract so if need be its movable, if at a cost...which isn't ideal but isn't a backbreaker or anything.

and speaking of...

Oh man I didn't know that, never really thought about it but would explain why their branding was so similar to Black Rifle coffee (which is definitely MAGA, Kyle Rittenhouse sponsor)

They are not MAGA. They are a Pac NW chain that's just started expanding nationally. They have been around for 15 years, long before MAGA poo poo kicked off.

Maybe they should have done some research before they went national with a name that evokes Blackwater the MAGA-owned mercenary contractor force or BlackRock the investment group buying up single family homes or Black Rifle Coffee the MAGA Rittenhouse brand. I've seen them here in Texas and never considered setting foot inside one of them because I assumed they were playing on the culture war and being the non-woke Starbucks.

Nah they're a little coffee cart that makes extremely caffeinated and extremely sugary drinks that aren't terribly good. So don't step into them for that reason. Afaik they're supportive of LGBTQ stuff
