Oh no

Pax Vobiscum to the Sager family.

That really sucks. He was one of those guys that everyone loved. Fans, coaches, etc.

Are you Catholic Laz?

Very sad news.

LOL. KJ is such a jackass.

Much more than a jackass. He is such an awful person.

I was raised as one. I remember the old Tridentine (Latin) mass.

Not a big fan of bloated bureaucracy and how it turned a collective blind eye to all the rampant problems with molestation.

I didn't know they could do this. I thought they matched the offer sheet from the Nets?

[Split T]

From what I could gather, donatas signed the 4/38 offer sheet with nets. Houston matched, but was not required to match the 7 million worth of incentives, so 4/31. Donatas did not like that and refused to sign. He and Houston then worked out a 4/35 deal, but then Houston backed out after the physical and rescinded the qualifying offer. Now he's unrestricted. Probably will go back to the nets. Be interesting to see if he gets the same deal.

Oh yeah, my thoughts exactly. I think it should be heavily incentive laden. If he didn't pass yet another physical but Mr. Microfracture got $20M a year from Memphis on those glass knees I wonder what the heck is wrong with D-Mo's back...

Has everyone seen the Larry Nance Jr. dunk? Reminded me of the Chambers dunk he seemed to get higher after contact.

Impressive. Most impressive. Somewhere, Larry Sr. is proud ...

Yup. The dunk reminded me of his daddy. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

[Mori Chu]

LOOK AT LARRY NANCE!

[Shabazz]

Warriors had 41 assists on 45 FGs tonight.

(Suns had 15 assists on 34 FGs)

That's why they are where they are in the standings, and the Suns are where they are. Ball movement = winning offense.

Have you guys seen this one? It's a lot of nostalgic fun.

Wow. Had never seen that layup that turned into a dunk. Up there with Dr. J and Jordan's stuff.

Food for thought for anyone who's keen to take a flyer on Demarcus Cousins
