The Warriors reportedly have a ‘grand plan’ to potentially acquire Kawhi Leonard AND LeBron James 👀
Step 1: Sign LeBron James using the $15M NTMLE
Step 2: Trade Jimmy Butler, Brandin Podziemski, and two first-round picks for Kawhi Leonard
That would leave Golden State with:
🏀 Steph Curry
🏀 LeBron James
🏀 Kawhi Leonard
Scary. 😳

Shaq says he had to get Pat Riley to move their practice back from 9:30 am to 12:00 because the ‘06 team partied so much 💀
Shaq: I had to convince him like ‘bro, we coming in at 3, going to Waffle House, we get done eating waffles at 5, yo just move it back.’ He (pushed back) then we went on 12 game winning streak
Wade: the most unserious championship team in the history of the league
Walker: I never partied and played basketball like that in my life
UD: We was making phone calls before we landed like they had the spots set up

Former Cowboys WR Jesse Holley says Dez Bryant refused to pay a $52,000 rookie dinner bill
“I was a part of one of the most epic rookie dinners in all of sports. The Dez Bryant rookie dinner. The famous $52,000 at Pappas Bros dinner”
“Dez Bryant comes into the National Football League and it's the culture of, ‘Hey rookies, you carry pads.’ Dez came in and dead set on, ‘I am not carrying pads’”
“At the time, the vet of the group was Roy Williams, receiver. Roy was like, ‘You're gonna carry my pads.’ Dez was dead set, ‘I'm not carrying pads’”
“If there's a veteran on the team and you're a rookie kind of disrespecting a veteran, the other veterans go like, ‘Oh really?’ So there was this back and forth thing between Dez and Roy all year”
“So we get to the rookie dinner and we're at Pappas Bros in Dallas, and Dez is late”
“By the time Dez got there, they asked, ‘What's the most expensive liquor you have?’ They said, ‘We have this bottle of Louis XIII Rare Cask.’ They gotta put the white gloves on, wheel it out, hit a button, and this thing opens up with this illuminating light”
“$1,300 a shot. I'm like, ‘Hey, I don't drink, but I am drinking this. I am not leaving this place without getting a chance to say that I had a $1,300 shot’”
“We're buying wagyu kobe beef steaks, I got two. They got the shrimp and lobster towers. They bought the biggest bottle of Ace of Spades. They're pouring it in a flower pot in this private room. It is going insane”
“Dez finally shows up about 45 minutes late. We're finished. The damage has been done. They brought the bill and it was $52,000”
“The way that Dez spazzed out and said, ‘I'm not paying it.’ The way that it goes in the NFL is first round rookie pays the majority of it. The next pick kind of picks up some, they break it down first round, second round, third round, etc. etc. etc.”
“Story goes, I don't know how this ended, I left. Once I got my $1,300 shot, I ate my kobe wagyu beef steak and shrimp I got my stuff to go because I had steak and eggs the next morning”
“Everyone left Pappas Bros with this bill of $52,000 because Dez refused to pay. Story has it that Jerry Jones eventually picked up the tab because we were there as Cowboys”
The #Eagles have released DE Za’Darius Smith from the Reserve/Retired list, allowing him to become a free agent and sign with a team if he chooses to continue his NFL career.
