My guess is that their use of the word "massive", was in relation to his existing contract. At UConn, Hurley has a 6 year $31M deal. Maybe they felt that a 125% increase is "massive". But then again, it is ESPN after all.

See you in Orlando
Breaking: Clippers star Paul George is declining his $48.7M option and entering free agency, sources tell Adrian Wojnarowski.

He’s planning to set meetings with cap space teams and the L.A. Clippers beginning Sunday night. An opt-in/trade scenario is now gone.

Magic are confirmed to be one of the three finalists in the Paul George sweepstakes by Woj and Shams. Not getting my hopes up, but Orlando being in the mix for an All Star for the first time in 10+ years is nice.

And he’ll probably play 25 games per season because of course the magic would experience that.

I prefer Donovan Mitchell.

I believe he'll carry the Magic squad to at least the Eastern Conference finals.

Mitchell is staying, Paul George is only star we have a shot at. But I think it’s likely the Magic end up with KCP.

Ended up right. KCP to Orlando for 3 years, 66 million.

I’m not trying to be a contrarian, but in what way is this intriguing? This is going to amount to a small clip on LeBron‘s Hall of Fame highlight reel. Bronny shouldn’t even be in the NBA

Paolo Banchero just dropped the first 50 point game from a Magic player since T-Mac in 2004.

Heat? I can see that lol team up with Jimmy Butler

CBS Sports reports the Nets are one of Giannis’ preferred destinations if he ends up wanting to be traded.

“The Bucks are one of the teams that are considered to be a title-or-bust kind of franchise, so to speak, so it's possible that Antetokounmpo could force Milwaukee's hand if their season continues to be underwhelming,” editors wrote.

The Heat are also rumored to be a consideration.

“Teams are circling — and hopeful," one Western Conference team executive said. “I wouldn't be surprised if it happened by the trade deadline.”

#34 made his NBA for the Bucks 11 years ago this week and has “grown up” here.

Cavs are 8-0.

I’m not sure that has ever been done before for them

You’re right. For some reason my brain computed torn with longer tine out.

So I sometimes do NBA parlays. NBA Teams are clearly fixing games. Taking out starters with 8-10 minutes left in the fourth quarter. Not even trying.

The Bucks are one of the worst teams at doing this. Last night against the Knicks they took out starters down 20 with 8 minutes left. Dame had been looking like he wasn't interested. You don't quit though. You're 1-7 at this point. Why are you giving up with 8 minutes left?

Are the Knicks better than you by 20 points every night?

Giannis will be traded.
