Aaron Rodgers is waiting for the NFL Draft to finalize his next team to avoid being 'Kirk Cousined'

I feel like all this is gonna get settled right after the draft... I think that's why Rodgers is waiting because he doesn't want to have a Kirk Cousins situation where he signs somewhere they draft someone and then they're like, 'oh yeah, it's your job.'

Prediction Football Medium

Aaron Rodgers did sign with the Steelers, and the timing was around the draft period. However, the 'Kirk Cousins' concern about being drafted over was not the primary factor; Rodgers simply chose Pittsburgh.

Cooper Flagg is a choker

Even though [Cooper Flagg] is a choker. That's fine.

Hot Take CBB HotSarcastic

Cooper Flagg averaged 18.9 PPG at Duke, scored 27 in Final Four, was drafted #1 overall, averaging 21 PPG as NBA rookie. Not a choker.

Paying Josh Giddey $35 million a year would be a massive mistake for the Bulls

They also have a guy named Josh Giddey who they're gonna probably pay $35 million to, which would be a very big mistake... Josh Giddey is just good enough to get you in the play-in game and not the playoffs.

Prediction Basketball Medium

The Bulls signed Giddey to a 4-year, $100M extension ($25M/year), less than the $35M predicted. Whether it's a mistake depends on Giddey's future performance, but the contract was more modest than feared.

The Chicago Bulls are a joke of an organization with no path forward

This franchise [the Bulls] is a joke and it should be called out as a joke and stop pretending that March and April basketball means something and actually pick a lane and go for it. They do not know how to tank. They do not know how to win.
