Deshaun Watson hasn't been that good this year but I still don't like this thing where he doesn't entirely suck.

This extension bodes well for MEM getting Jaylen Wells under $10mm per year.

"How about 5 years, $200mm?" "It's not about the money. I've been disrespected." "What about an extra $2.5mm per year?" /signs contract

I do not want the owner of Bournemouth - a very smart PL team - to own a Western Conference team.

Without saying the company, we handled one of these companies trade show exhibit schedules, and we ended up firing them as a client. Only done that a handful of times in over 15 years. This is unsurprising.

I think it's notable that, even after saying he isn't involved in lease negotiations day to day, Zach Kleiman said that he hears things are on the right track, and they're where they should be.

Is there a 1% chance that this was what was holding up the Kawhi deal all along?

Matt Hrdlicka @therealhrdlicka.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I dont know where the Duren thing ends up. I assume he just takes $190mm or whatever. But DET has real leverage against him. They have so many non-guaranteed deals that they can carve out meaningful space if he takes his QO. They've avoided the bird rights trap with him.

Charlotte is really good at the transaction game. Can they craft a conference finals team? Remains to be seen. But they’re really good at transactions.

I have been in rural Colorado, Seattle, North GA, and southern NC, and I have not seen a SINGLE Republican political sign. Not one. Sure, Seattle, I get it. But the other THREE? It feels like everyone on one side is sleepwalking to a midterm demolition.

Matt Hrdlicka @therealhrdlicka.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Man, idk what the Duren endgame is, but one of he or Ausar needs to develop a floater or something minimum because you just cannot pay $60mm per year to two guys who can’t score outside the paint.

That Keyonte George number is either going to anger Brandon Miller et al, or spook them to take whatever their teams are offering.

Matt Hrdlicka @therealhrdlicka.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I’m very surprised he took this, and while the language says “fully guaranteed” I wouldn’t be shocked if that final year was a player option.

Matt Hrdlicka @therealhrdlicka.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I think this is an overpay still, but by Pelicans math, they saved somewhere between 10mm-20mm! From a post pre-Hawkins salary dump.

I’m not going to be super-positive about the performance, bc I’m not convinced this squad is better than an 8th place finish at best. Also I missed the first 9 minutes of 2H. Is that where all the Everton xG was? I remember the big free kick chance but when was the shot on the line?

001

Matt Hrdlicka @therealhrdlicka.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

This. Spurs have been great because they’re buildup is now 100% Van Hecke dribble or pass. But there’s no ideas in the final third and 2 of 3 midfielders are ball retention guys who aren’t going to make the final ball.

Matt Hrdlicka @therealhrdlicka.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

This is perhaps more strongly worded than my take, but is much closer to my take than most Spurs fans. There is real REAL downside to, at best, net spending $150mm on this basket of players.

Win Win: we can play better players now AND we are less likely to take up the option!!

OMG we are definitely getting a Brandon Ingram for Sabonis and a pick conversation at some point this year. Check on the resident Kings fans in your life.

It is unusual that a player like De'Angelo Russell is still on the Grizz roster. Everyone agrees he'll be cut or traded. A trade is unlikely, although his aggregation date has to be coming soon. Kawhi deal still being completed too, so he might be folded into that.

Re: Griz-Pels: Why now? Today was first day Griz could aggregate AJ Johnson in a deal. Can confirm the $148k golden parachute for Taj Gibson, which allowed Memphis to complete trade without touching the giant JJJ trade exception.

Matt Hrdlicka @therealhrdlicka.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Actual trade mechanism. Peavy goes into the small Ja TPE so NOP only has to guarantee $200k of Gibson's deal instead of $1.33mm.

Matt Hrdlicka @therealhrdlicka.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

A man 3 years younger than me just got traded.

Matt Hrdlicka @therealhrdlicka.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Great value here. Taj will have just enough of his contract guaranteed to match up the numbers. I suspect the 2nd rounder is not the 2027 2nd, but we'll see. All others NOP can trade are 2031 and after.

Matt Hrdlicka @therealhrdlicka.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Look, if you can’t get enjoyment out of a goal being disallowed because a player used his arms to shield his head from being kicked then you aren’t built for proper Football fandom.

Matt Hrdlicka @therealhrdlicka.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

I like Gallagher in this game, but thought it would be paired with Robertson. Feels like Destiny won’t play a full 90. Good 11.
