"I'm only going to address this one more time: Duren did not try to deescalate the entire time. He started it by going face to face with Diabate then mushed Diabate in the face. Of course Diabate is going to react to that. Duren's penalty feels fair. Diabate's feels harsh. @KeithSmithNBA It doesnt seem like you watched Moussas behavior end-to-end if you think how he acted was at all equivalent to Duren. Duren clearly tried to de-escalate the entire time whereas Moussadid not to say the least. @KeithSmithNBA It doesnt seem like you watched Moussas behavior end-to-end if you think how he acted"

"@n8afro The kids. Murray Clifford Raynaud and Cardwell. I'd be open to trading everyone else. You don't need to give them away but if the deal is decent and provides salary I wouldn't think twice. LaVine makes too much for there to be a reasonable path back to the Wolves right now"

"My incredibly dumb NBA All-Star idea in honor of the Royal Rumble: The [--] All-Stars draw numbers like in Royal Rumble. Two guys start out playing 1-on-1. A new player joins every two minutes. Whenever someone scores the player who has been on the floor longest is eliminated (Unless that player scores which means the second-longest is eliminated). Play until one person eventually wins. Players could work together to eliminate others. They could play solely for themselves. Kind of like the Royal Rumble itself. It's really dumb I know. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2017657257433899388"

"At no point will James Harden be extension-eligible. Not now. Not in the summer. Not next season. If we're talking about a promise to re-sign him as a FA this summer or next well let's just say that LA is probably being pretty cautious about anything that runs afoul of the CBA right now. @KeithSmithNBA It's the promise of an extension I assume @KeithSmithNBA It's the promise of an extension I assume"

"Trust me I get it. I'm just trying to explain that he's not extension-eligible because people keep saying he wants one and didn't get it. As far as any future contracts go this is how it works.

"Since it's also come up: James Harden has a player option next season. If he opts in his $42M contract becomes partially guaranteed for just over $13M. The Clippers or another team don't have an option to get out of Harden's contracts themselves for $0. Harden has the option not the team.

"Doing some math on a James Harden-Darius Garland swap: Both have 15% trade bonuses. But Garland can't get any of his bonus because he's already above the maximum salary for his Years of Service. Harden can take his bonus but only about $264K of it (bringing his salary even to Garland's). This is because the Cavs can't take back more than they send out in a trade. Nor can the Cavs aggregate by sending out another player. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2018744541742821426 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2018744541742821426"

At some point you have to realize they don't care who they play who scores or how it looks. They just keep winning"
