I have read and heard reporting to the contrary, but even if Houston's interest was simply a rumor fed by Harden's camp, the point stands. If there was a wink wink deal that the "liar" Morey reneged on, why would Harden need Houston as stalking horse, real or otherwise.
It may have become clear to Harden last winter that the renege was going to happen, and that's when he started trying to drum up leverage.
I get Friday a little. Trae vs Luka because of the trade and trying to create a Wemby/Scoot rivalry. Very confused on SAS vs Philly.
I bet he was hinting at the wink-wink deal too, but this makes sense.
For those of us with kids that can't wake up before 10:00 a.m. in the summer, but somehow snap to attention at 6:00 a.m. on Christmas morning, I consider around 5:00 p.m. to be prime time on Christmas Day.
I'm not saying that shenanigans didn't happen, but gotta love the idea that the Knicks think that someone is onto their secret sauce. It's like Taco Bell suing someone for stealing their chalupa formula.
This is pretty messed up. Larsa Pippen is the ex-wife of Scottie Pippen. Awkward!
It's probably time to stop making fun of the Knicks (at least temporarily), they beat the Celtics the last three times they met last season and they might have gone even farther than the second round if they'd been healthier.
Knicks are good for a couple of seasons of somewhat competent play every 10 years or so. I'll buy in when it becomes more than that. Dolan still owns the team.
They also might have been swept if Jimmy had been healthy, but that's neither here nor there.
I have no idea how this stuff works, but this was odd to me: "the Knicks also alleged that members of the Raptors "directed Azotam to misuse his access to the Knicks' subscription to Synergy Sports to create and then transfer to the Raptors Defendants over 3,000 files consisting of film information and data." Isn't Synergy something that even media folks like KOC have access to?
Yea, but the Knicks were paying for the $4.95/monthly subscription!
Frankly, the employee is an utter moron. Every investment bank I ever worked at would track employee email/files when they left for a competitor (this was over a decade ago). Every few years a trader/salesman would get caught sending models/trade data to a new email they set up. Reported to FSA, regulatory agencies & out of the industry.
Yeah, I agree, stealing/transferring data is an obvious no-no...and if Raptors knew or requested it they are going to be deservedly hammered for it. Doesn't matter if data is actually unique, or whatever Dolan did....you can't have people doing that in "real world" or in sports. Trade secrets and confidentiality are a thing.
It is possible OKC will end up with a glut of draft picks and will have to waive good players at some point. TyTy Washington is not that point (nor is Garuba who they also waived ). It is possible either might develop into a player, but both players were traded along with draft picks twice this offseason from teams as a salary dump.
It is not in the Bucks’ DNA to trade the best player in franchise history, except for Kareem.
Hah, touché. I half expect some team to throw a few million at Thanasis next summer to boost their shot.
Ugh. He is such a mercurial dude. So personable in that JJ Redick interview and then you read stuff like this. Disappointing.
I liked the part about his wife and kids being decked out in Celtics gear. Like are people really this clueless?
