Huge. Allows the team to focus on the rest of the roster and figure out which other pieces need to be retained. I have a hard time with the idea of Middleton getting the max though

6’8”, All star 3 and D wing who is also also close friends to one of the best 4 b-ball players on the planet who is up for an extension in 2 years...ya gotta do it

LeBron tried SO hard tonight to show his “leadership” and “effort” after all the attention placed on his lack of those two things in the media and him responding by telling teams they “have the right to single [him] out” defensively...but the Bucks broke his will in the last 2 minutes. LeBron Blames came out in full force. Was SO close to that big win and showing his young teammates what it takes to win. But then it was pouting, slapping his hips, yelling at the refs, etc.

Fun stuff. Bucks are good.

He practically sprinted off the court at the final buzzer too.

Interview with Michael Reinsdorf.  It's a comical read starting with the very first question.

https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/basketball/bulls/ct-spt-bulls-michael-reinsdorf-interview-20190304-story.html

Will John Paxson and Gar Forman be back next season?

Absolutely. We believe they’ve done a great job. I know that in this market, with some of our fans and some in the media, they look at it differently. That perplexes me.

That organization deserves all the bad that happens to it. They actually have an attractive young core but will do nothing with it cause it’s run by a combination of nepotism, cronyism, and sycophants. It’s a shame

Its too bad - if he had left out the wife, I wouldn't have had a problem with it. Throwing the wife in there was real weird.

If what he claims the fan said is accurate, I agree, Burrow.   And I agree that throwing the wife in was weird.

The bio of the fan is quite disturbing. Good for Westbrook.

Being a professional, in whatever line of work, encompasses many aspects of a particular vocation. Westbrook should have stayed above the fray.

In a perfect world, yes.   Apparently, though, he heard the wrong thing at the wrong time and was unable to restrain himself.   He is neither the first nor last person to do so.

This was just another virulent MAGA racist who repeated the Creep's language about Sh*thole countries and tweeted about sending Westbrook back to Africa. I'm sure none of us would sit quietly at our desks if someone walked up to us and started yelling this crap.

Of course, he also talked about God and country in his tweets in between using the n*** word.

Westbrook is my new hero.

Tonight was supposed to be Nikola Mirotic bobblehead night in New Orleans, since they are playing the Bucks they should still give them away, right?

It's possible that they're both a-holes.

Per ESPN, the Jazz and OKC players Raymond Felton and Patrick Patterson all confirmed Westbrook's account. Jazz players Gobert, Thabo, and Donovan Mitchell all issued statements supporting Westbrook's account, though they don't seem as committal toward personally hearing what was said.

The fan involved has been banned from Jazz (home) games for life.
Westbrook has been fined $25K.

Seems fair, given what we (as the public) knows.

I wish Facebook would reveal all of this guys posts AND also his list of friends. I know I would instantly de-friend anyone who posted this garbage and I assume most people here would do the same.

We should be able to expose all of those who willfully continued to be friends with a creep like this as well as the guy himself.

Facebook already sold all his posts/data to corporate interests long ago. Think they're going to give it away to the public for free?

Getaway from the lunacy of other side of board.

You see this, could be the best buzzer beater ever, well at least how high the ball went.

In my opinion definitely not the coolest buzzer beater ever, but definitely cool. I don’t think it stands up against a buzzer beater like NC State in a national championship or a number of others. But helps the Bucks!
