Pete Rose is laughing, somewhere ...
Pete is probably in Vegas signing baseballs "I BET ON BASEBALL - PETE ROSE" for $100 a pop and trying to figure out a way to use these incidents to his advantage.

I'd take her in a heartbeat.
On the suns? I love that women’s basketball is getting bigger, but they wouldn’t stand a chance in the nba
Would be funny but no, the Mercury. Need a replacement for Taurasi.

I don't think Cam Johnson's contract is that bad. He's had a down year on team that hasn't been good.

Maybe some people thought he could be more than a big 3&D wing, but not many. I think he'll bounce back pretty easily in the right environment. His health will always be a bigger concern.
Johnson is a good sub. If he's starting for you, you're in trouble. He's a pretty good, but not great, shooter and a bit of a tweener defensively.

Is he going to get better? Well, he's 28 and not overly athletic, so my guess would be "what you see is what you get" with him.

Ah, yes she’s going to be incredible…too bad we got the 3rd pick

Cam is shooting 40% from 3 this year. Not sure what people expect from him. He’s a great bench wing and can be a 5th starter. Very similar to Grayson Allen. Though Grayson is definitely having a better year.

We traded it, but it was good move since Paige Beuckers is going back to school, 3rd pick lost a lot value after that.

For Kaleah Copper! She's great. 3rd pick for her was a steal.

Get this guy out of the league!

"Pulls him by the throat..."

The dude is a menace that has no place on this league.

AND STOP PUTTING HIM IN COMMERCIALS! He is not who you want as the face of your company.

Rough ending for Philly against the Clips. Looked like Oubre got fouled on the last shot attempt but the refs didn't call it. Then he and Nurse went off on the refs. Kelly's reaction is pretty funny, no sound but kinda nsfw.

Oubre had a wide open Harris with plenty of time but obviously he wanted to play hero. Loser.
Jones and Vogel out, Lue or Lee in, draft Grant Nelson or Tyler Kolek.

Did earlier too when he got stuffed into a wedgie on a dunk attempt. Just low IQ ball, especially when Maxey is on the floor.

Weird. The previously agreed-upon sale of the Timberwolves to a group including Alex Rodriguez seems to have fallen through, and the team is no longer for sale. Glen Taylor will remain the owner.

Taylor probably realized he's selling low right as the wolves are rising

He sold for 1.5 billion…that team would fetch at least double now I’d think. Suns reset the market
