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.

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.
