To be fair... it's the same guy who championed Mark Madsen launching three pointers in game #82... to get an extra pong ball... which worked to land a draft pick one spot higher... which was then sold for cash that went back to Taylor.
Trying hard is great for middle school. High school. Even most colleges. But it's not enough for the NBA. We have two-plus decades of proof with Taylor.

One who are cheap bastards even though they got their beautiful new stadium and are the 75th richest family in the U.S, or one of the most incompetent and baffling owners in the NBA that has given us one of the worst franchises in all of American sports.

I'll take the Wilfs.
No, bad culture with the Vikings too. Although I give the Wilfs an "A" for effort Leipold is the best of the bunch.
I finished watching the Clippers game this morning. After watching the first quarter yesterday morning the rest of the game was generally more watchable. Not much to say really except Cam Reynolds played 6 mins 2 of which were in garbage time? what? why? I'm a homer but that seems kinda silly. Why not throw him out there? He must be too good he did lead the team with +4!!!! GENIUS tanking by Ryan Saunders!
Also not exactly a proud moment for the broadcast where they had players with their schools still in the NCAA tourney and they had CJ Williams with North Carolina...he played 4 years at NC State...

Meh, they dish out the money and try to have stability and reward success, seems great to me. I'll take your word for it with Leipold since I'm a bandwagon fan with the Wild, if they aren't going to the playoffs I ain't paying attention. Theres enough to endure as a MN sports fan already
Culver is the kind of player I had in mind when I said it would sure be nice to be able to nab him at 8/9 instead of trying to trade up from 12. I see him going around 5 the way he looks tonight, but you never know.
