    - I actually like what the Nets got back, all things considered. -- nm - David Feb 5, 13:18 6
      - It's not great but what can you expect with the situation being what it is. I wonder what they'll get when they trade Durant this off-season. - Krusty Feb 5, 13:20 5
        
        or maybe sooner.... -- (link) - Beaker Feb 5, 13:22
        
        I mean, if the Nets pulled the trigger six months ago, they'd only have the ghost of Russell Westbrook. So, this is pretty good. -- nm - David Feb 5, 13:22 3
        
        True but I don't think that was ever a realistic option they considered. -- nm - Krusty Feb 5, 14:09 2
        
        Besides, you automatically win the trade because you no longer need to root for a team with Kyrie Irving on it. - David Feb 5, 14:15 1

who knows who is putting this out now and why but Ravens and Lamar (and mom) may be as far as $100m apart on the guaranteed money -- (link) - hollywood big shot Feb 5, 11:17 19
- As for who is putting it out there, my guess is either speculation by Fowler or someone at NFLPA. - the wrong element Feb 5, 15:40
- for a second i thought that was Jnine -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 5, 11:39
- By all indications, it’s a mess. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 5, 11:19 16
  - most contenders that you'd want to get traded to if you wanted to win a Super Bowl generally have franchise QBs already -- nm - hollywood big shot Feb 5, 11:21 15
    - I mean they had Elvis Grbac and Kyle Boller -- nm - budice Feb 5, 11:59
    - Let's be serious - Vegas will not be able to resist him -- nm - rollo Feb 5, 11:51 1
      - there are certainly sixteen shittier teams than the Ravens who will back up the money truck to his door if all he wants is the fattest stacks - hollywood big shot Feb 5, 12:10
    - They let Flacco go. Nothing new for Ravens -- nm - budice Feb 5, 11:35 11
      - Uhhh, after a very mediocre 5 year contract. They paid him because he won a title. At his best, Flacco is a maybe close to Lamar. - Will Hunting Feb 5, 11:48 9
        
        also avoidable if they had just locked him down before that season started at a much lighter (but still fair) deal. who do they think is going to - hollywood big shot Feb 5, 12:06
        
        A thank you gift, if you will -- nm - rollo Feb 5, 11:53 7
        
        I understand both sides here…Lamar is an mvp guy…one of the 2-3 most dynamic winners in the game but hes - Will Hunting Feb 5, 11:59 6
        
        great. what's the answer to letting him leave? another 5-10 years of getting the shit kicked out of you by Joe Burrow and even mediocre Steelers/Brown -- nm - hollywood big shot Feb 5, 12:07 5
        
        First, stop buying into the line that the Bengals are a much better team than the Ravens. - the wrong element Feb 5, 15:20
        
        You find another QB, preferably a young one who doesn’t hamstring your cap. The Ravens are better at scouting than anyone else in football. -- nm - The Allfather Feb 5, 12:17 3
        
        if it were that easy every team would have one -- nm - hollywood big shot Feb 5, 12:19 2
        
        Every team doesn't scout like Eric DeCosta. Remember that Lamar Jackson doesn't go in the first if not for the Ravens. -- nm - David Feb 5, 12:23 1
        
        There is unfortunately one place they really need to improve their scouting. - the wrong element Feb 5, 15:28
      - It does kind of feel like this is the play -- nm - rollo Feb 5, 11:47
Manchester City. 0-5 with no goals at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Garbage franchise. Time for a rebuild. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 5, 10:34 1
- Send them down to the National League, and promote Wrexham to the Premier League! -- nm - Mr. Havens Feb 5, 12:21
Jokic has 18 triple-doubles this season (it seems like more). He's at 94 for his career. I could see him passing LeBron (106) and Kidd (107) this year - prayformojo Feb 5, 10:27 1
- and Westbrook is padding his lead. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 5, 10:31
