Ben was named All-NBA Third Team

Fucking Boston media screwing up our tax even more.

Simmons max contract will now start at 28% of the salary cap instead of 25% because he was given designated rookie extension language in his deal. If the cap remains flat for 2020-2021, that means he made an additional $19 million total on his new 5-year deal. A flat cap at a 25% max would have been a 5-year $158 million deal. A flat cap at a 28% max will be a 5-year $177 million deal.

Who wants to bet that if he has a similar season next year Bill Simmons and Kevin OConnor don’t give him an all nba vote

Even I wouldn’t go that far

Going full tin foil on this one

Congrats to Ben

Bit of a wake up call for Jo - here’s what they think of you - keep working

Ok Apollo jackasses have to pay our great young player more money, I’m signed off

It's probably a good idea to interview MDA even if he's not a good fit. He can be candid about his time here, the Ben/Jo combo, what could be done differently, etc.

If they do hire him and he really is their all in guy, oh man. I think at that point you're staring down the barrel of an Embiid trade within the next 12-18 months.

I hope he gets the message that just posting on social media that he wants to be great isn’t enough to get it done.

Post it into existence

For the past several months, the expectation was that D’Antoni would be hired by the Indiana Pacers, who fired Nate McMillan on Aug. 26. Sources have said McMillan’s coaching style wore on the players. He’s a no-nonsense guy, capable of shaking players out of their comfort zones, and has strict rules.

Wasn't McMillan's firing pretty much a surprise, and it happened 3 weeks ago? The Pacers wanted to hire D'Antoni for "months?" How is that possible?

I liked this paragraph better the first time he wrote it a couple weeks ago when he called McMillan “a nonsense guy.”

Pompey definitely is pretty well sourced with the org, and he's 1000x better than the guy he replaced, John Mitchell, no idea what ended up happening to him. That dude was as bad of a writer, but also a giant asshole. Pompey actually seems like a genuinely nice dude and sometimes on twitter he's in on the joke when people try to mess with him.

Hi Keith

He’s certainly an upgrade from Mitchell which is saying something. I think he got demoted to the temple beat initially not sure what he does now.

He’s lucky he was hired at all after Watergate.

In north philly?

Use the stadium that is already there. Sick of these people.

Just some zillionaires looking for some tax payer assets to scam so that they can make more money for themselves.
