The only reason it's so easy to make fun of Ainge is he leaks everything he's going to do, might do, and would have done but didn't. He's like that weird kid on the playground that talks too much and lies about everything. Great GM though.

He's the anti-Morey who never lets anything leak ever and the few times he even talks about future plans ("We have something up our sleeve") he follows through by trading for CP3

Also he trades picks away like they're going out of style (oh my god I just dated myself with that expression)

He's right. You go on air and your dumb cousin bombs because she said "toast" for "what is a popular thing to eat for dinner" and now everyone hates her for costing the family a vacation. Or you win and the family can't decide on where to go because Aunt Shelly wants to go on an Alaskan cruise and your sister Deborah wants the Caribbean and both refuse to budge

The first person gets 160 points with all the #1 answers and the second person says all the same answers but gets flustered at the buzzer and says "car" for favorite place to go on a date and ends up getting like 14 points total

e: Basically that Always Sunny episode where they go on the show

So this is what its like for random free agents to want to actually come play for your team

Too bad he'd have to settle for half of that and not be a starter to actually come to Houston so it's not happening

I guess it's just the implication. He gets an offer, then cancels the rest of his meetings. Could just as easily be the Warriors though

Apparently money after the age of 38 is considered likely to be post-retirement and counts towards the cap for the years pre-38

or something I dunno

e: Oh I guess the change was that they altered it from age 36 to age 38. But Nene's 34 so the last year reduces the amount of money they can offer him overall as a non-bird free agent. They can still give him more money via one of their exceptions but then they wouldn't have it for someone else.

also what

https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/881249660614057984

Also it was changed to 38 right when it would allow CP3 and LeBron to sign one last supermax. Lol

Guess who the President and VP of the NBAPA are

I like the PJ Tucker signing, and I'm really glad they managed to keep Nene. I wouldn't have been surprised if he was a little peeved after they screwed up his contract offer and then used the MLE on Tucker.

I will be interested in whether PJ Tucker can up his 3 point game here. He's never taken many.

The Rockets are basically tapped out now, unless they can trade Anderson for a S&T free agent or Carmelo An:thunk:thony. Solid offseason.

They can keep their MLE is they S&T Tucker for a bunch of their non guarantees right?

I hope all these Pacers trade rumors are true and Pritchard passed up not one or two but like a half dozen better deals because he has a weird grudge list

Celtics: dickhead
Blazers: fired me
Rockets: city has unpleasant weather
