-Walked 1.2 million steps the last 100 days and dropped 12 pounds. It’s not Ozempic results but at least on the way back down.

-Haven’t had this much fun watching baseball since 2010. And it’s better. Diaz>Cordero

-Reeves didn’t even consider $100,000 for 5,000 autographs. Thank goodness. I would have had a garage full of worthless signed 8x10’s for decades.

-Read a quote a few months ago-Every argument we’re invited to doesn’t mean we have to attend. Wish I would have read that 20 years ago. It’s working.

-It’s July 8th- Could see us going 9-3 if we catch some breaks.

-Wembanyama looked like Shagari Alleyene last night.

Those jerseys will be fine with the full uni. I remember hating the new Bengals jerseys when I saw them on a hangar. Pumped about them.

I’m not going to lie, I’ve become pretty impressed by EDC, but Elly-sanity was terrible. Do better reporter.

I mean good for Chris for getting it, although only 2 years is guaranteed, but that is beyond foolish by the Bucks.

I guess it’s the cost of keeping the top player agency happy though.

Chris Livingston has a skill set similar to a what I imagine a lot of gyero posters have. Good thing for him God made him 6’6 with an abnormal amount of melanin in his skin. If either of those two things aren’t given to him he is just another kid from Akron wearing a Lebron jersey

So the Livingston contract is actually only guaranteed to be $2mm over first 2 years. Last 2 years and $5.7mm are non guaranteed team options.

This is how I understood it. Also, I believe this is the new standard 2nd round money if/when teams decides to sign a player. Pick #59 could very well get this same deal and be out of the league with Livingston in a year or two, but only this one is getting publicized cause Rich Paul is a douche who markets well.

I can understand it from Bucks side I guess…

We will use a draft pick on you and give you a couple years of $$ but if you do blow up, we get you for years 3 and 4 super cheap.

This is the line from the KSR article that irritates me the most:

After all but pulling [Livingston] out of his dorm room at Kentucky, they canceled workouts with NBA teams shortly after they began, presumably securing a deal with an unnamed team.

I'm glad for Livingston that he's got a guaranteed contract. As a Kentucky fan, I'm pissed off that Klutch was meddling with our team and trying to direct Cal on how to play him (if the rumors are true that they demand he play the wing, which appears likely). But even from Livingston's perspective I'm not sure Klutch has done him any favors.

He has the potential to be one of the most valuable assets in the modern NBA: a 3-and-D wing who can guard 3 positions. He should have been a stretch 4 here last and he should have returned, taken NIL money, and turned himself into a likely lottery pick next year. By comparison, Cason Wallace's contract is a guaranteed $24 million over 4 years.

I'm not sure why Klutch is even sending players here if they are going to meddle in how Cal uses them. Cal didn't even know Livingston was at the draft, for crying out loud. Just weird all the way around.

But what do I know. I'm not even shacked up with Adele.

Let’s pretend the Bucks told Paul to pound sand. And in return Paul told them that in the future he would direct his players to other teams, thereby reducing the potential earnings and markets for his players.

Isn’t this entire thing at best terrible for Paul’s players and at worse a violation of their fiduciary duties (lawyers please assess).

Just another reason to hate Lebron, IMO.

It would be awesome if their players just got blackballed out of the sport, but when Lebron leaves I’d imagine any notoriety and significance they have will be gone.
