Look: Andre Roberson called out by waiter for leaving bad tip
According to TMZ Sports, Roberson and 12 of his friends hit up Chupacabra Cantina in Austin, Texas, for drinks after he signed a new three-year, $30-million deal with the Thunder, racking up a $487.13 tab and leaving a $13.97 tip. Suffice to say, the waiter wasn't happy.
TBT, that's who. TBT isn't Throwback Thursday, but the fourth edition of the summer-long The Basketball Tournament. Prompted by a deep hoops thinker named Nick Elam, TBT ditched the game clock for the last four minutes of its Jamboree round (15 teams playing for the last four spots in the field of 64). The idea isn't to eliminate buzzer-beaters, but every other unsightly element of late-game basketball.
We all know the drill. Fouling, frequent stoppages, commercials, desperation shots, more fouling, endless substitutions, equally endless trips to the foul line, more fouling, timeouts in between foul shots, more commercials, more and more fouling. Did we mention the fouling?
Instead of finishing the contest with a traditional game clock, officials establish a target score and the team that reaches it first wins. Joe Lunardi/ESPN
Elam has studied the issue for over a decade, charting over 2,200 NBA and NCAA games. The data speaks for itself. Late-game fouling almost never works. The trailing team runs out of time the same way spectators run out of patience. But the teams foul anyway, because they have to, as it's the only strategy available.
On the playground, we'd never do this. "Play to 15, win by two" is common. Variations on predetermining the winning score are even more common. "Play by 2s, play by 1s or make-it-take-it" are other keep-the-game-moving strategies.
At the TBT Jamboree, the game clock was turned off after the under four-minute stoppage of the second half. A "winning score" was determined by adding seven points to the leading team's total. Play on until somebody wins.
Calling the games on ESPN3, I couldn't help but smile. With minor exceptions, the players intuitively kept playing as they had their whole lives. No stall ball, generally unrushed offense and -- best of all -- a far greater chance for the trailing team to mount a comeback.
Instead of stopping the clock, getting stops was the priority. In consecutive contests, despite a seven-point deficit when the untimed portion of the game -- dubbed the "Elam ending" -- began, the trailing team came back to tie or take the lead, winning once and losing another on a walk-off breakaway dunk.
There are no buzzer-beaters in the strictest sense of the term (as there are no buzzers to beat). The better analogy would be that every contest is the equivalent of an extra-inning baseball game won by the home team. The game always ends with a walk-off score of some kind, be it a basket or a free throw (regarding the latter, defensive teams learn quickly not to foul if they are a single possession away from defeat).
In several instances, when both teams were within a single possession of the target score, a version of sudden-death basketball was created. The intensity on both offense and defense belied the casual nature of summer basketball. It's not hard to imagine the overwhelming intensity participants and spectators would experience in an elimination setting (think overtime in Game 7 of an NHL playoff series).
Yes, buzzer-beaters would fade into YouTube memories. According to Elam's study, however, they occurred only 21 times in the 2,200-game sample (and only six of those were buzzer-beaters in which the lead changed). Are we willing to trade that for every game ending with the ball going through the basket? Isn't more genuine "basket ball" better than less?
It's worth a closer look. The designated hitter was a gimmick once, too.

With all this trade talk about the mess that is called the Knicks and Anthony this place is awfully quiet!
I think everyone is expecting a funeral for the Knicks. Daryl Morey is about to prison rape Steve Mills and the Knicks. Somehow I see the knicks getting back older players with more years left on their deals than Melo. Mills involved in a possible 4 way trade will not work out for the Knicks. I would be willing to bet Mills doesn't even know who they get back until he reads it in the paper the next morning.

Marvin Bagley III mulls reclassifying, playing in college this year; Duke, USC, Zona in play
Bagley has long been 2018's No. 1 prospect; if he plays this season, it would be huge
NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. -- Marvin Bagley III, the top-rated prospect in the Class of 2018, is exploring the possibility of reclassifying and enrolling in time to play college basketball this season, a source confirmed to CBS Sports on Friday.
A source insisted no decision has been finalized. But it does appear to be academically possible, the source said.
"You should probably ask CBS Sports; it seems like they know more than I know," Bagley's father, Marvin Bagley Jr., said to FanRagSports.com late Friday when asked if reclassifying s a possibility. "That's my answer -- ask CBS Sports."
Bagley told reporters here at the Nike Peach Jam on Thursday that he plans to officially visit Duke next week -- then Arizona and USC in some order. If the 6-foot-10 forward were able to graduate from high school in time, get cleared academically and play in college this season, he would change the landscape of the sport drastically in the sense that Duke, Arizona and even USC could have a reasonable claim to the preseason No. 1 ranking by adding Bagley. Additionally, Bagley would immediately move to the top of most 2018 NBA mock drafts -- ahead of Michael Porter Jr., DeAndre Ayton and everybody else.
Jerry Meyer of 247 Sports wrote earlier Friday that it's possible Bagley will reclassify while adding that his recruitment "has the feel of a Duke and USC showdown." The Arizona native who attends high school in California drew the biggest crowds at Peach Jam this week while dunking relentlessly, making jumpers and further establishing himself as the world's best high school prospect. He had 30 points and 16 rebounds in a win Friday night but was not made available to the media afterward.
I know cleveland got some parts, but I see them going back to medoicrity after this year.

Cleveland got Crowder and Brooklyns unprotected 1. If Thomas signs a non max deal then I think Cleveland won. If Thomas still insists on a max then horrible trade.

But it's not a lose either, and that was the objective. It had to get done before the year started. Kyrie was such a prick that he didn't talk to ANYONE during long stretches of the playoffs. He had to be moved. Plus an unprotected #1 is pretty good.
One bright side is that IT has never had a good player mentor really. Now he'll play with Lebron. He can only get better, so long as his hip is okay.

Lebron possible leaving is a separate thing. They had to dump Kyrie and seeing as everyone knew that I thought Cleveland did well. Yes, if Lebron leaves they will no longer be a title contending team, but this secures this year and they got back 2 nice building pieces should Lebron bail again.

Look: Andre Roberson called out by waiter for leaving bad tip
https://www.thescore.com/general/news/1330141A waiter who served Andre Roberson on Wednesday night called out the Oklahoma City Thunder forward on Twitter for leaving a bad tip.
According to TMZ Sports, Roberson and 12 of his friends hit up Chupacabra Cantina in Austin, Texas, for drinks after he signed a new three-year, $30-million deal with the Thunder, racking up a $487.13 tab and leaving a $13.97 tip. Suffice to say, the waiter wasn't happy.
Roberson responded to the tweet, claiming the waiter didn't deserve a tip because "there was no service."
Here is the write up and a good angle :

And here is another angle :
Is it time for a different way to end basketball games?
It seemed like a gimmick at first. Eliminate the clock at the end of a basketball game and you eliminate the best part of basketball: the buzzer-beater. Who would consider such a thing?

Not only that, he can't add. $487.13 + 13.97 = $501.10

In a situation where Cleveland had little leverage, I think they got a pretty good haul.
