What Windhorst does on this episode is indistinguishable from a press secretary; meanwhile Bontemps, who is typically one of the most stridently negative, pedantic and blackhearted bummers in hoops media, suddenly Needs To Hear All The Facts. What a sewer this show is.

The Ramona/Ballmer interview is hilarious. Ballmer says he had never heard of Aspiration until *they* approached *him*, and offered him over 300 million dollars and didn't even want stadium naming rights, "we had a fantastic deal." No questions asked.

Introducing Grok Imagine.

Clippers fans visibly agonizing trying to decide between “Ballmer didn’t do anything” and “more owners should do what Ballmer did” and not really knowing which Narrative Is More Virtuous is honestly beautiful to watch. Bunch of chumps.

This is legitimately humiliating. You should feel embarrassed if you’re in the media talking like this.

Which network people Ballmer chooses to give his exclusives to during this saga will explain a lot about why certain “bombshell” stories get published and why others don’t and whose opinions should be completely meaningless to you.

A read of the Ballmer stuff I disagree with is that the owners would feel "cheated" by what he did in a competitive advantage sense, as if the single driving motivation for any of these perverts is winning. Winning is a complete nuisance to them!.

What's especially courageous about what Cam did is he was the first of the big RFA guys to sign. There's an increased chance that Giddey/JK get what they want because those FOs see the QO threat as more legitimate now. Rock on big dawg.

RT @lIlacsky___: i’ve probably remarked on it a number of times before but it’s a true travesty that russ isn’t universally appreciated as….

These are all disgraceful. He has a fan for life now.

Poor sweet old Steve just clicked a bad link in an email guys.

This is hilarious because after an 18 month press tour celebrating Ballmer as the ruthless, calculating tech god who sees every angle we’re now supposed to believe he got scammed by tree company for a hundred million dollars.

I think players demanding their full fee even if it takes a shady enterprise is totally righteous and I applaud them for it; what I hope this does clarify though is that "team friendly" deals and "sacrificing for the franchise" is a management scam designed to crush labor.

Probably the single defining characteristic of our times is rich idiots blinded by avarice and ego delusions smashing around and believing rules and legislation don't apply to them. These guys are all drunk in the casino doubling down on 14 just because! What world are you in?.

Owners are this dumb all the time, actually

Look at how these slippery bastards tried to sell it while they were negotiating with PG

This kind of unhinged nonsense for literally months trying to insult and shame Paul George into taking less than he was worth when all along Kawhi never took a penny discount (he shouldn't have taken a discount). Imagine riding that hard for *ownership*? Sad times out there.

The salary cap is unethical and I’m glad Kawhi is soaking LAC for every penny he can, don’t care about that part at all. But those sanctimonious homilies from Clippers fans about “how much he was committed to the franchise” to make PG look like a glutton were fucking disgraceful.

For weeks I listened to deranged Clippers fans tell me Kawhi took “less than the max” because he “saw the vision”, and that Paul George was totally ridiculous for asking for the max himself. Interesting how it all played out huh.

Makes total sense that this malignant worm is one of Bill Simmons’ most trusted shamans to the worlds of science and technology.

All that agony and patience in private, learning new dance moves with the new version of your old body, your tiny window is closing, work work work, now watch my crazy magic.
