i guess ankle vs ab is different but lebron was allegedly healthy going into the playoffs last year and looked like a shell of himself

seems like that sarver story got held up so that he/his lawyers could rebut and deny as much as possible once it was leaked that it was happening?
he's a scumbag but i'm not really sure i'm seeing the angle that ends up with him selling the team.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, November 4, 2021 3:13 PM (nine minutes ago)
i feel like it's going to come down to public pressure and whether that will get him to step away. if he wants to be litigious about it i question whether there is enough there to forcibly remove him
watching a woj thing just now and he mentioned the hawks owner who had to sell the team after his racist email leaked and floated the idea that some sort of hard evidence might be turned up in investigating sarver. (or maybe not, if no one leaked anything to baxter holmes.) the levinson thing also happened months after sarver so maybe that timing was an important factor
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 4 November 2021 19:27 (two years ago) link
the article said it was hard for the co owners of the suns to remove him but im not sure what the leagues options are, maybe the rest of the owners can just vote that he violated some conduct clause and make him sell, they got sterling out of there fast iirc
but the threat of deep public humiliation via investigation might be more relevant at this point
― lag∞n, Thursday, 4 November 2021 19:56 (two years ago) link
sarver seems particularly intransigent but yeah there may be more evidence or he may just not want to deal with it, good luck predicting anything with these types of guys.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 4 November 2021 20:01 (two years ago) link
i mean if he uses email hes basically fucked

all the owners have dirt they dont want to sell eachother out i bet

The NBA is expected to soon launch an investigation into the allegations reported today by ESPN’s @baxter Holmes against Suns majority owner Robert Sarver … and Sarver just issued a statement in response that closes by essentially acknowledging an investigation is forthcoming: pic.twitter.com/xJswSUl3vR— Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) November 4, 2021

sarver welcoming an NBA investigation has some real “what are you gonna do, stab me?” vibes to it

The n-word is not part of my vocabulary. I have never called anyone or any group of people the n-word
Google translate: I'm absolutely certain there aren't any emails, tapes or videos out there. At least I sure fucking hope so.

Sixers are up on the Pistons midway through the 2nd. Embiid has 0 points and they are missing 3 of 5 starters. Pistons might be bad.

tatum has been so bad this year just standing holding the ball before driving into 5 guys, i think them trying to make him more of a playmaker has gotten into his head, he should just score baskets hes good at that
