@TheosisFail@versivald 😂😂😂 Just give her $10M or $20M, when his net worth in 2012 was $35M? She said $250M so the court would give her more than the prenup stated. He didn’t even make $100M. Greed
Suns owner Matt Ishbia on trading for Kevin Durant:
"I kind of just threw money at the problem... Bringing in super talented players like Kevin Durant doesn't necessarily lead to championships."

@vntmartinez@ThisIsJay216 He had just thrown up in his cup drinking vodka and kept drinking the vodka and throw up. The dude is 1000% not in the right state of mind lol
TLC were so broke they couldn't afford to file for bankruptcy. They borrowed $15,000 each from the NFL star whose mansion Left Eye had burned down.
That was 1995. CrazySexyCool was on its way to 10 million copies.
In the video below, they explain it backstage at the Grammys with two awards in their hands. Then T-Boz tells what they did at Clive Davis's office.
Their 1991 contract paid about 56 cents per album, split three ways. Before they saw any of it, the label took back the cost of recording, videos, promotion, hotels and clothes.
By the Los Angeles Times' estimate, the albums brought in about $175 million. TLC got roughly 1%.
Their manager was Pebbles. Her husband, L.A. Reid, ran their label. The two sides of their contract went home to the same house.
On July 3, 1995, they filed for Chapter 11 with $3.5 million in debts. The loan came from Andre Rison, Left Eye's boyfriend, a year after the fire.
"You can sell ten million albums and be broke if you have greedy people behind you," Left Eye said at the Grammys.
Then they went to Arista, took every TLC plaque off the walls and handed them out in the neighborhood. Police didn't arrest them.
The settlement freed them from Pebbles' company. Their next album, FanMail, debuted at No. 1.
Was TLC robbed, or was that how a record deal worked in 1991?
The Warriors reportedly had no interest in including Jimmy Butler in a trade package for Anthony Davis or Jaylen Brown, and they shut down talks for any players they felt were worse than a healthy Butler, per @anthonyVslater
“The Warriors didn't show an appetite to offer Butler for Anthony Davis or Jaylen Brown this summer, considering the pick packages required and contracts attached to both. All other Butler-plus-picks conversations -- for what the Warriors believe are ultimately lesser players once Butler returns -- were shut down, team sources said.”
