You could tell Johnson was scuffling.

I’d think a black athlete would be expressly opposed to separate but equal.

I think fitz sort of misunderstood the question but eh whatever.

It’s not like completely irrelevant but it’s a lot easier to placate a guy if you’re offering him the max than if you’re trying to lowball him AND the taxes are high.

The early 80/90’s were just us on bikes or foot constantly going to random places without anyone knowing where we actually were for HOURS.

If I’m making 230 million over the next four years I probably don’t care that much but if you only want to pay me 200 million that’s gonna chap my ass a lot more than the taxes.

Grieg, to steal from the ringer fantasy football pod.

The income tax thing is wildly overblown. The tax rate in California is 13.3 vs 5% for Indianapolis. BUT you only pay taxes on the games you play there. You have to file a tax return for the other states as well. Honestly it’s mostly the kings tried to lowball him (and maybe the market).

But they let fear rule their decision making process, which also feels like a theme for this phase of the Kings.

Yeah I know and I also understand it to a certain point because we’re talking about a famously risk averse front office (and ownership group) frankly. If you’re going to go into the tax with that trio you have to be 100% sure it’ll lead to conference final appearances because there’s no net.

That’s really the lynchpin of the whole thing. Getting Siakim would’ve been the move to make. Feels like a lot of people undervalued how important he was to that Toronto championship, dude is just a winner.

They wouldn’t have provided the necessary infrastructure just like they didn’t with De’Aaron.

It’s what LeBron would’ve wanted.

Yeah the part where they managed to turn the ball over every other possession and only be down 8 seemed unlikely.

It’s only in the last two minutes of a half I believe.

They’re challenging the out of bounds but it also allows the refs to see if a proximate foul happened on the play.

Sometimes you can be TOO unselfish.
