Ha, FNG misreads his own poll, and votes yes instead of no! I did too. I love KAT, and his commitment to MIN, but the second apron is not a joke. Towns has also missed so many games over the last five years - more than Embiid! If Towns stays healthy, he’s worth his contract. If he has an extended i...

There's a theory going around that the NBA waited so long to announce this because they wanted to give Minnesota a chance to appeal. They will lose the appeal, but be able to play it tonight on national television against the Nuggets Exactly what I was thinking. Does anyone know if you appeal, if t...

DDV and Naz just got one game suspensions.

It might be smart to make a protest, so they sit out a less important game.

Watch the last ten minutes, Episode 2, of “Court of Gold,” the Netflix documentary on the summer Olympics.

You’ll see a completely different side of Kevin Durant.

Imagine I want to buy your house, and we agree on a price, say that it’s worth $200,000. It is slimy for me to say, “oh, before I move in, I want you to build a deck on the back, buy new windows, upgrade the flooring, and I want a luxury bathroom. I’ll pay 20% of your expenses.” When you sink more ...

As majority owner, Glen had to sign off on those upgrades; no one forced him to approve them. And the overall cost of t...

Isn’t it fun to make improvements as minority owners when the bulk of the payment comes from the majority owner? “You mean, if we pay 20%, we can get something worth 5 times that amount? And we’ll own it all later? Here’s our giant list of improvements, and give us all the credit!” And remember, th...

Thanks for putting in the work, Lipoli! If we can get our payroll $5,685,000 under the second apron, we can use the full tax-payer MLE ($5.685). We can use vet min exceptions. I don’t believe we can use TPE’s created this season if they take us over the first apron, but we can use TPE’s that are gen...

Very fair analysis of the Taylor regime by you guys. I'm also guardedly optimistic about the future, and hoping the new owners are willing to spend. Dane's podcast yesterday with Chris Hine was informative. Dane talked about how trashy the entryway used to be for the visiting team...this was the fi...
