NBA front offices are no longer afraid to say no to LeBron James' demands

It feels like the last two or three years, everyone has been like, you know what, LeBron is good... but he's not LeBron anymore because he'll do those demands like 'I need help, I need trades.' And the front office is like, 'no, no we're not doing this anymore. We're not gonna just trade the whole future for a guy who's 38 now.'

The Lakers did eventually trade for Rui Hachimura shortly after this but notably held onto their 2027 and 2029 first-round picks for a long time, supporting the idea of increased organizational resistance.

I was wrong about Dak Prescott; he was sensational against the Buccaneers

I would like to formally apologize to one Dakota Prescott, because I was wrong. He was sensational on Monday night... He was absolutely shut the haters up. I include myself in that camp. I was very wrong.

Dak Prescott threw for 305 yards and 5 touchdowns in the wild card round against the Buccaneers, a career-best playoff performance.

Tom Brady is done with the Buccaneers

I do think that he's probably not retired. The comments that he was making after the game felt like I'm done with The Buccaneers.

Tom Brady announced his retirement 'for good' on February 1, 2023, never playing another game for the Buccaneers.

Tom Brady is now gun-shy in the pocket and bails on throws early

[Tom Brady's] legs and his and his his want to, to stand in the pocket have completely eroded. I think that's part of his bra. I guess it's his spine. Yeah. His spine's not okay, because he's been hit so much this year that he is gun shy and it's gotten to the point where you feel bad for him in the pocket when he sees somebody coming.

Subjective analysis of a player's mental state and pocket presence.

Spain is entering a period of absolute soccer dominance and will win the next Euro.

They won the Euro two years ago. They won the World Cup. They're probably gonna win the Euro in two years. They're just different generation dominating soccer.

Euro 2028 has not happened yet.

Goals scored in the World Cup third-place game should not count toward the Golden Boot.

I also had one bone to pick. The third place game, which is hilarious that they still do this... The fact that those goals count for the Golden Boot is such bullshit. That's stupid. That should not count. Like that's not a real game.

This is a subjective opinion about tournament rules.

LeBron James will announce his free agency decision tonight.

I'm fully expecting him to announce at 9:00 PM tonight. Yep. Like shit like that where it's like, I went to a movie on Thursday night. I was like, oh, LeBron's gonna fucking announce during the movie. He's, he's now fucking us... I think that's what's gonna happen. I think he's gonna decide tonight.

Big Cat predicted that LeBron James would announce his free agency decision at 9:00 PM on July 20, 2026. However, reports from July 20 and July 21, 2026, indicated that James had not yet made his decision, and his agent stated on July 21 that he did not know when the announcement would occur.
