Retired but not tired (usually).

@McFaul Include this: Framing US/China relations as “great power competition”, as most in foreign policy establishment do, is a grievous error that is provoking reactions by China and a ratcheting up of tensions. Relationship should be framed as cooperative with competitive elements.

@ShangguanJiewen Visited Qingdao for a few days in April. It’s amazing. Posted videos of it on my amateur YouTube channel.

@SleeperNuggets My bet is he finishes his career where it began, in OKC.

@SleeperNuggets @ShamsCharania Would take the sting off salary dumping Cam Johnson, that’s for sure!

[Ken Goldman @kengold]

@TroyRenck @ShamsCharania DeRozan on a min? Sign me up! He’s still a frontline scorer in the league, and has had better shooting efficiency in his mid-30’s than he did in his mid-20’s. Would take the sting off if they had to salary dump Cam Johnson.

@NBABlackburn We are keeping Watson too, IMO. Stop being such a pessimist.

[Ken Goldman @kengold]

@kjfxmonk @SpencerHakimian Israel is sadly the Mini-Me to Nazi Germany, which still retains the #1 position. Total irony.

[Ken Goldman @kengold]

@HarrisonWind We will match. I have faith in their decision making. Plenty of time to adjust payroll later if needed.

[Ken Goldman @kengold]

@emptywheel The word is gaslighting, though that has been overused due to the sheer volume and duration of the lies and Trumpism. A new word must be used once the House flips: Truthtelling.

[Ken Goldman @kengold]

@Will_d_jones I think they match and then figure out what to do with him and other assets on the team before the hard deadline during the season, after which the payroll level will determine their ultimate tax hit. So, just match now and perhaps trade him and/or other contracts this winter?

[Ken Goldman @kengold]

@JyanRohn3358 @NBABlackburn Spencer didn’t post it. His agency did on its page. Not reading much into this.

[Ken Goldman @kengold]

@SpencerHakimian This is worth harping on! 😂

[Ken Goldman @kengold]

@McFaul @tedlieu You believe we will have “future wars with Russia and China”. I like Lieu, but OMG! I hate that phrasing!

[Ken Goldman @kengold]

@TroyRenck Way to alarm people on “awful” offseason. Alpha Diallo might end up better. Spencer shooting stroke may not be sustainable. Or Nuggets might match.

[Ken Goldman @kengold]

@NBABlackburn This really has nothing to do with the Nuggets, Ryan, other than Rich Paul placing them on the White Board and the team being in the LeBron conversation. But you will take any opportunity to cast Nuggets offseason in a negative light. What did you seriously expect?!?

[Ken Goldman @kengold]

@HPbasketball This will be less successful than Julius Erving joining George McGinnis, Doug Collins, and World B. Free on the 1976/77 76’ers. At least that team made the NBA Finals. This team won’t, IMO.

[Ken Goldman @kengold]

@DNVR_Nuggets @HarrisonWind @MikeAScotto Nothing new here. I know it’s a slow news day as everyday is lately for the Nuggets, but this story is just repeating old reports.

[Ken Goldman @kengold]

@McFaul Ideas mean little when its society is fractured and its government officials are working to benefit themselves, not the people. US system is flawed but is controlled by corporations and billionaires. China system has flaws too, but their government controls corps, opposite of US.

@Candyman1551319 @gnoble79 Why not 3,500? The October 2022 lows!

[Ken Goldman @kengold]

@PatrickDLyons Is Jake McCarthy separated at birth from you? I ask because of the hair, mainly, though I haven’t seen you on video lately and you may have cut it.

[Ken Goldman @kengold]

@HarrisonWind Diallo is a career 37% shooter from 3 and an eye-popping 57% from 2. His offense might be as good as Braun’s. At $1.4 mil, an absolute steal! Just hope we can keep SJ as well.
