What’s to investigate? The trade was never processed?

Tampering maybe?

Yes. A league source said someone complained about tampering. It would have required a looming FA to agree not only to a contract prior to free agency, but as part of a deal to another team. Which would imply tampering.
 
Is it just me or does it seem absolutely insane that the Warriors would spend 66 million dollars to have Kelly Oubre on their team this year, when Oubre will not be the piece that gets them to championship contender?

I'm guessing they make a move to minimize that by the end of the year when Lux Taxes are calculated.

They will trade Wiggins at the deadline to get below the tax

How do you dump salary in a league that didn't raise the cap? The three teams that have that kind of cap room now won't have any in a week. Especially when the Warriors just used the biggest TPE in the league to acquire Oubre.

How do you solve a problem like Wig-gins? You don't.
 
I can't keep track of which players have been traded....and which players have become free agents in the last few days. Best source for that info?

also, is it just me or have there been an inordinate number of NBA Achilles injuries in the last year?
 


Tampa Bay Raptors....hopefully for their sake, they get to pay Florida taxes instead of Toronto, Canada taxes.

and, they have all their own picks except for a 2021 second, and a lottery protected 2022 first

by the way, over the next 3 drafts, New Orleans has 3 extra 1st round picks and 7 extra 2nd round picks

I'm no biologist but it's pretty clear to me that this is some fast acting evolution... I predict in 30 years people in the US won't even have calf muscles. Our feet will just be flopping around like a marionette. Shit we'll lose our calves before we reach net neutral. SMH

One of the shoe companies will promote a shoe that's preventative. Interesting that certain antibiotics can increase risk. To much stretching is crazy as basically thats all they do while scrimmaging.

yeah, one of the primary contra-indications for Cyprofloxin is Achilles injuries

I've had Achilles surgery. Well, not exactly direct surgery but a procedure called gastroc lengthening. Basically they make an incision and circumcise about 75% of muscle sheath around the gastrocnemius muscle then dorsal-flex the foot for a few weeks. The result is reducing tension on the Achilles

anyway, I needed antibiotics but because of my Achilles history, my doctor proscribed a different drug even though cyprofloxin was recommended
