Woah. Not sure how he's eligible for this much money but that's awesome for New Orleans.

How is it that Anthony Davis is eligible for so much more money than Kawhi?

Davis is an extension that doesn't go into effect until next year when the salary cap jumps, so it's an estimate right now. Kawhi's contract is based off the current cap

Probably has to do with his contract starting in 2016.

Edit: ^Yeah, that

Kinda shows just how crazy this salary cap jump is. 55 million dollar difference. Davis might be eligible for the Derrick rose deal though where he gets more money due to his all-nba awards

Just listened to a Paul Coro interview this morning. He said Jackson Vroman was found dead in his pool. A much different story than the car accident story.

Or the car crash that I first heard.

Yeah, sorry. That was my bad. Yeah, it was originally reported as a car accident. Here's an article I found that says he was actually found in his pool at his California home.

The initial reports make it seem like foul play could be involved. Just seems to odd for a healthy 34 yr old former pro athlete to die in his own pool.

The Nuggets are bringing over Nikola Jokic. Loved that pick. It will be interesting to see him pair with Jukic. Nuggets are starting to make really savvy moves.

I saw something about there being security camera footage showing him slipping on stairs hitting his head and then rolling into the pool unconscious. No clue if that is true or just some random internet rumor.

Friend/social media star Dan Bilzerian revealed that it was an accidental drowning. "He was sitting down, he got up to go inside the house, tripped on the stairs, hit his head and drown[ed] in the pool," Bilzerian wrote on social media. [10] [11]

Eesh.

Sam Hinkie jst fleeced the kings.

Thompson
Landry
Stauskas
Kings top protected ok in 18
Right so swap 17 and 19 1st rd picks

for

Micic(76ers 2nd rd pick in 14)

All so the kings can try to sign rondo or ellis
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”
