Dolfan in NYC Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 Good for him. Also, as pointed out on reddit, Vince Carter is older than the father of his teammate, Trae Young. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Speaking of old guys, Haslem signed a new one year deal with the heat. I'm down to only 5 active NBA players older than me and I really need these guys to hold on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 He's paying 2.5 billion for 51% (he already owns the rest) That's half a billion more than Ballmer paid for the Clippers in whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 Stop me if you've heard this one before... DeMarcus Cousins just got hurt. He's sustained a knee injury during a workout. No word on severity yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I remember when folks tried to argue that no baseball team would be sold for a billion dollars BTW - the 2.35 billion number Dolfan had is what Forbes estimated what the Nets were worth (which at the time of the 2019 rankings was 37th of the sports franchises) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Okay the Nets sale is officially happening Tsai is paying $1.35 billion for the Nets (he already spent $1 billion for his current ownership shares) He is paying ANOTHER billion dollars to also buy the Barclays Center The $2.35 billion that Tsai has spent on the Nets makes it the largest purchase price for an American professional sports team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 The Lakers are going to work out Howard, Joakim Noah, Mo Speights, and Marcin Gortat. I don't even know what the least-bad option would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Assuming last year was just bad health, and he'll return to where he was the last few years before that, Howard is probably the best player of that group, but the fact that nearly every teammate he's had hates him, that seems like an issue. Noah did play better last year than he had in quite some time. But since a lot of people are crediting that to him getting away from the New York nightlife, I'm not sure L.A. is much of a solution. The other two... That's just dire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSC Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Oh fuck that shit. Dwight Howard leaving is what sent the Lakers on this downward spiral for the last 6 years. I don't care if he might be the best option, you keep him as far away as fucking possible. The fact that they are actually working him out is mind boggling to me.
