    Embiid's feud with basically everyone in France has confirmed that he's actually the most American of us all.

    Pure speculation but I bet it was more of an assurance from the WBD management team that he could earn his $21M a year by working even less than he does now. WBD may not have mountains of cash sitting around but it would sting to see a popular face of the network working for competitors. Second guess was they gave him more upside and involvement in new projects he can develop.

    Honestly any French person who boos Embiid is either wholly ignorant or a huge asshole. They finally deigned to give French citizenship to a Cameroonian entirely because they wanted to take advantage of his services for their own glory. It's literally a microcosm of their colonialist behavior from the past 100 years.

    Wasn't he saying they each had an out if WBD lost the NBA and Turner needed to guarantee the rest of the contract for him to stay

    at least he finally earned his way to his first semi finals

    he added his own opt-out, yeah. I don't know if the others (Ernie, Shaq, Kenny) have those, but yeah, if he's gonna keep collecting 20mil+, might as well. I wonder if they'll somehow keep Inside, but only have it air for pre-game, half-time, and post-game. Local radio stations do that here that don't have the broadcast rights to the Warriors games.

    As ever, watching FIBA makes me appreciate NBA refs sooo much more.

    i do like fiba's goaltending rules though. i hate the cylinder rules, they're inconsistently enforced and i'd rather just do away with it.

    also possession arrow.

    How much of this is FIBA goaltending means Embiid knocks Kawhi's shot off the rim and the 6ers win that round

    Lauri deal also effectively includes a no-trade clause till next offseason. It will be interesting to see if Utah tries to get better at all or just hovers where they were last year.

    Let me put it this way - I did not have France vs. Serbia in the Finals on my bingo card. (and yeah, I know there is still a quarter to go in that game right now)

    Not with the US, Germany, Australia and Canada in the tournament.

    I'm scared
