Jamaican English has a lovely lilt, but it's not particularly comprehensible to outsiders. Boston English does not have a lovely lilt, and it's not particularly comprehensible to outsiders. Mutual incomprehensibility is what they have in common, and Ewing was famously shy and quiet, which didn't help.
Also, people were (are!) racist as fuck

Ainge has had his experience with bad backs, and I do not see him expending assets for Porter unless the price is very low.

Need Grayson Allen, so we can trot out a backcourt of him and Smart. It would be the best troll duo ever.

Charlotte is discussing trade possibilities with the 11th pick, league sources tell ESPN. Phoenix has wanted to get back into lottery to get one of elite point guards. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is focus here.
Preparing for life after Kemba. Good chance Charlotte gets another mid-1st rounder coming up.

Blow it up Mitch!

Edit: Ooooops! Love this move by the Clippers. They really need a long-term PG.

Clippers don't want to spend the money on the second rounders? Seems like a lot to spend even if they're lottery tickets (no irony intended)
Sounds more like the Clippers weren't the only team working with Charlotte to get up to 11 for Gilgeous-Alexander.

I would honestly take a risk on Porter only because we could afford it if it doesn't work out.

But that's just me and I don't know shit so.

Clips should take a shot at Porter with their second first round pick. If healthy, the will be the star they need in LA

We all know how cagey he is but I’d love to know Danny’s thoughts on this a year later. I don’t think he really deals in regret, but yeah, I’m curious. Then again, maybe we’re at 10 and teams are asking way too much to move up. I probably wouldn’t do Memphis pick, for example, to slide up 4 picks, and I’m sure that would’ve been the ask over something like Rozier/27.
I think regret is too strong and it actually helps a lot from a long term financial standpoint to roll the lottery pick to next year; hell I think the most likely scenario for the Sac pick next year is trading down to pick up a future first - always have extra picks in case a star becomes available. Just would have been nice to have Horford’s heir lined up.

Its ponder. Someone on the internet mistranscribed the lyric.
The internet has it right. It's pander, as in to indulge, cater to, or gratify a lustful desire. That's why they were dancing in that barroom last night.

Denver has been seriously considering Michael Porter Jr., with No. 14, league sources tell ESPN. They're deciding now.
Hold your breath. Wait for it...

Whoever DA wants I hope it isn't that Grayson. I do not want to cheer for a Grayson. It's like cheering for a Thad or a Clay. Yuck.
