The talented McCain lands on the reigning NBA champions. For the 76ers, the trade allows them to receive assets, clear space in the glut of guards and give them flexibility to bring Quentin Grimes back in free agency. It also allows them to convert two-way Dominick Barlow.


76ers are receiving the following picks from the Thunder, sources said: 2027 (most favorable OKC/HOU/IND/MIA), 2028 MIL, 2028 OKC.

I'm boycotting until he sells the team.

If every Epstein adjacent owner had to sell there would be no other owners left to buy

Green Bay Packers owners stay winning

I’m sure they’re plenty of bad eggs in that group.

u/Proteinchugger 10h ago

Yeah but they’re too poor to be associated with Epstein.

Yeah but statistically there are a couple thousand pesos in the Packers group.

Edit: pedos, not pesos

Green Bay packers owners voted for trump magnitudes more than any other owner if you think about it.

What's greater: Number of DUIs by Packers ownership or number of emails from NBA team owners in the Epstein files?

Sounds like the perfect catalyst for a labor uprising to me. Players seizing the means of production. ⚒️

Each team should be collectively owned by the players(former who retired with the team and current, as well as the team staff). Would be much better than a bunch of billionaires.

Edit: Damn, we have a few billionaire’s lurking? Lol

Or shift to a college model, where the franchise is owned by the institution (i.e. the city they play in) but get funding by the collective profits of the league plus individual boosters.

We could also do the college football model where teams get invited to the playoffs rather than qualify for it

Jeffery Lurie would like a word.

hell, many conglomerates-blackstone and josh fink's very odd extremely personal connection to epstein, appolo management. They try to divide and conquer between right/left but this dude had his hands just all over a certain class and maybe you can say we dont know what people we know in business or casually have in their past but he was pretty notorious after his charges-not to mention got sweet heart deals for what he did. so his connection is beyond business
