It is 25 games without pay but of course I can't find the post of the person who estimated what the financial hit would be.

Found it.



Morant's statement is what you'd expect. HIs PR people have had time to craft a word salad.

Zion Williamson who spent most of the season on the bench injured or something, is the subject of trade rumors. The baby mama drama around him right now is epic so maybe someone decided he needs a change of scenery? Like Sir Charles said he needs to get in shape to play. They're not going to keep throwing money at his "potential".

About Zion. Sure, he is an incredible player. But if you don't play, hard to blame the Pelicans for wanting to trade him.

Yep. So far, seems like down to earth to me.
And if it is the first time in NYC, you HAVE TO take the subway one day. Just to say you did.

Here's the video of him taking the train as we say here in NYC. The expression on that man's face who was standing there minding his business when the moment started. Looks like he took the "D" train.

Ah, excuse me? You are getting Chris Paul because the Warriors DO NOT HAVE a good enough point guard? Or two?
I understand that Poole may want to go out; after the Draymond punch and the response by the organization, I suppose there could be some hard feelings.
But to the wizards?
I have said it before: I know very little about basketball. But this seems like a loss-loss trade to me. Maybe except for Paul.

I can't see Chris Paul's personality working within the Warriors framework. He is selfish and doesn't understand teamwork. I've never been a fan and I agree this is lose/lose for the Warriors.
