Brian WindhorstThe Wizards only gave Trae Young a max contract so they could bench him and secure the #1 pick
They already promised him they were going to sign him when they traded for him. And the reason that they did that was because they needed him to not play. Because if he had played, they might have won a bunch more games and they might have not gotten the number one pick. So they told him like, Trae, we're going to take care of you, don't worry. So we're on the same page, we're invested in you, we're going to bench you.

PFT CommenterThe overturning of Folarin Balogun's suspension is the smallest piece of justice the United States has ever received from FIFA
The United States has never benefited from FIFA's corruption before, and it feels like we've been left out of that party. If this is our taste of the corruption, and all the corruption is just overturning a suspension that should never have been given in the first place... it's the smallest piece of justice that the United States could ever get from FIFA.
PFT CommenterThe sensor chips inside soccer balls are bullshit and not perfectly aligned with the cameras
I'm so deep into this chip in the ball thing, I've become convinced that it's all bullshit. The sensors, yes, they're there and yes, they pick up on stuff, but there's no chance that it is perfectly aligned with the 50 cameras that are running concurrently in the stadium on live TV at any given time.

LeBron's decision is looming. I think it's going to be Cleveland. Do you guys agree? I mean I think he's gotta go to Cleveland. I think that makes the most sense.

In this current day and age in the NBA... you cannot afford to have a contract on your books that's a massive overpay. And there was nobody bidding that for Trae Young. To give Trae that contract, it just, it kills you... if I would amend my statement to 'It's one of the worst contracts,' if that's what you consider a victory, then I'll concede that.
Brian WindhorstJaylen Brown's trade value around the NBA was shockingly low before his trade to Philly.
I did not have a feel for how low of a value that Jaylen Brown was in the NBA. I just didn't have a feel for it. Teams were rejecting Jaylen Brown, the offers, even for the draft picks, like three and four picks. They were rejecting it.
Brian WindhorstDraymond Green opted out of his contract because he knew LeBron was leaving the Lakers
Draymond opted out because he thinks there's a reasonable chance [LeBron] could go with the Warriors. What it seems like is that he was operating with the knowledge of LeBron was not going back to the Lakers. Not that LeBron was for sure going to the Warriors.
