also fwiw ive been thinking about the kevin love situation and i realized he will 100% exercise his player option next year because hes waiting on the big cap bump in two year but he cant just sign a one year deal with another team next year because bird rights dont come with a one year deal and if a team doesnt have bird rights they cant offer the 5 year super max, so if kevin love wants the five year super max in two years when the salary cap goes up he must opt in next season*
so hypothetical trading for love a. includes that he will def be with the team next year b. gives that team a very good chance of resigning him via big bird rights contract†
*i think this is how it works lol
†obvs theres a chance he will forgo his opportunity for a five year max and switch to a team he prefers to the one holding his bird rights, i just doubt he will do it preemptively next year, tho its maybe more likely if things keep not working out on the cavs, conclusion trade love

does he make a comparison between phil leotardo and pete carroll? does he compare their heads of white hair? does he compare the previously little-known malcolm butler to the previously little-known walden belfiore aka the guy who takes out leotardo?

in the midst of a grantland shootaround post around cavs drama (lol) that touches briefly on boogie's "god's plan" speech, this choice nugget from bill simmons:
I can’t tell you how focused I am on the possibility of a Boogie/Boston trade. Like, you have no idea.
and then later:
Boogie for Jared Sullinger, Kelly Olynyk, Marcus Thornton’s expiring, our unprotected 2015 no. 1 pick, the unprotected 2015 Clippers pick AND Dallas’s future no. 1 pick. THIS IS GOD’S PLAN!!!! Wait, what are you guys talking about?
as great as that would be for the Cs, this has to be a new high water mark for simmons absurdity, right? even as crazy as vivek is and as incompetent as his front office is?
