I assume for extra old and aged cognac I drink it straight up in small increments, on special occasions?

Andrea Bargnani, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2006 NBA draft, has signed to play overseas for Saski Baskonia in Spain. The announcement was made Tuesday via the team's official Twitter account.
Bargnani, 30, had been without a team since securing a buyout from the Brooklyn Nets in late February.

"I was like almost 100 percent sure I was going to end up in Brooklyn," Johnson said Monday in Miami. "But, yeah, it's an incredible feeling. And I'm excited to get back to work."
Johnson also said he had a hard time dealing with the $50 million offer sheet he got from the Nets. He chose the Nets over the Bulls, Hornets and Kings, who reportedly offered him $53 million.
"I threw up a couple of times when I heard the number go out there. I was in shock. I even lost a little bit of weight, because just the anxiety of going through that whole process and not knowing where I was going to be," He said.
Johnson also revealed that at one point in the process, before actually signing the offer sheet, he was approached by the Heat with a similar offer, but without the poison pill arrangement. The Nets offer would have paid him $5.6 million, $5.9 million, $18.9 million and $19.6 million. The Heat wanted him to abandon the Nets offer and go with a $50 million deal spread out equally over four years, $12.5 million.
"Obviously I opted to sign it and keep the commitment I made to Brooklyn."

Legit wondering if he's good enough for the Spanish league.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostOladipo wants the maxit begins

i expected a bunch of amare highlights in here today
dude averaged 37/9 against a GOAT in the playoffs - legit insulting to compare blake griffin to him. i can only imagine if he was in the league today with all the small ball focus. guy would be putting up one punch man numbers

By Dark PhaZe Go To PostOladipo wants the maxI think we knew that would probably happen when we traded for him.
He's an RFA. We'll likely match any offer assuming he doesn't massively regress this year.

I think he's a bit of a shit fit with Westbrook to be honest. His playstyle is basically a poor mans version of ynot.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostI think he's a bit of a shit fit with Westbrook to be honest. His playstyle is basically a poor mans version of ynot.A lot will depend on is outside shot progressing. If that happens then he'll be a borderline all-star.
Regardless we'll probably match a max just because of his defensive ability, youth, athleticism, and ability to get to the rim. He's the best 2 we've had since Harden.
I was really looking forward to seeing what he could do alongside KD. That athleticism on the break along with Russ would be terrifying.

"Three weeks ago, Kevin Durant’s sitting there at dinner, telling him “Hey, I’m coming back, man. Don’t worry about it.” And now, Russell Westbrook has been kind of thrown into this in having to decide his future a summer earlier than expected," said Royce Young.
By Kibner Go To PostI mean, haven't you felt that for like over a year now?
Nah. Our moves this year signal something is brewing. We signed Demetrius Jackson to a 4yr deal. Partially signed Ben Bentil and still haven't signed Jaylen Brown.
This is awesome:

Brad said he grew an inch. That'd make him close to 6'6 . A year before that he almost grew an inch as well. Suddenly the stress injuries make more sense.

Vogel said he expects Aaron Gordon to start at SF and play plenty of PF.

So the Clippers want out of Staples and want to build a stadium of their own. They've "chosen" spots on the west side.
My money is on this being a diversion tactic. Once Mr. Clippy gets turned down to build due to NIMBYISM on the west side, he can then say "well I tried, time to move to Seattle."

Balmer should relocate the team to Seattle.

These were not direct quotes meant to be attributed to Kevin Durant. It was an attempt to characterize what Westbrook thought his situation was going to be in Oklahoma City and how Durant's leaving impacts his thinking about his future..
Eh. Clippers fans are good fans. They've put up with some serious shit. Don't think they deserve to lose their team.
there hasn't been any whispers about that at all anyways plus Seattle's stadium was cock blocked anyways

I mean. Amare basically did play small ball his whole career. Going against bigger guys was great for him, he abused their lack of mobility. If anything it helped him.
It seems weird to me he'd "retire a knick". But what ever. Reeks of a back room post basketball business decision.
Blake is p.great. Don't think he's as potent at putting up raw numbers as amare. But he's probably a better passer (not that amare was bad). And you can sort of run point forward with Blake.
His jumper is nothing on Amare's though, and his aversion to contact was not Amare like at all. And Amare was an amazing finisher, not just dunker.
But Blake has a better post game (as mechanical as his is). And he's just got a better body (not dead all the time). But what he did that Rockets series while CP3 was out.... sorta makes me wonder how much he holds back in that system.

I don't really disagree, but apparently Balmer wants a stadium, presumably to control revenue from the stadium and have the property to go along with it. Most Clippers fans in LA are transplants who don't want to bandwagon the Lakers anyways.
By blackace Go To Postthere hasn't been any whispers about that at all anyways plus Seattle's stadium was cock blocked anyways
There wouldn't be now. Balmer just announced this. If he built in LA, it would take years of environmental studies and other such complications to even get the ball moving. He could spend 4+ years "trying" to find space on the west side of LA to build and then move to Seattle after he gets shot down. (He will)

It's hard to keep any intentions of moving a under wraps and if you want to move playing the super long con seems counter productive because you would need a spot to move to and that would add years to the move...
That's why it couldn't be hush hush... Seattle could get an arena deal done, if not downtown elsewhere, but they need to have a team coming...
By P-SY Go To Posti think Blake without CP3 would put up ridiculous numbers.he'd be a turnover machine i think
looking back... amare did literally everything better than blake
