2ND ROBBIE LAWOLOR FIGHT:
A rematch with former champion Robbie Lawler took place on July 11, 2015 at UFC 189.[37] MacDonald lost the fight via TKO in the fifth round. The damage MacDonald took to his face during the fight combined with his near finishes lead to his moniker "The Red King".[38] The back and forth action earned both participants Fight of the Night honors.[39] The fight was considered an instant classic by fans and media alike with UFC President Dana White hailing it as one of the best welterweight fights in the promotion's history.[40]
MacDonald next faced Stephen Thompson on June 18, 2016 at UFC Fight Night 89.[41] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[42]

MacDonald faced Bellator MMA welterweight champion Douglas Lima at Bellator 192 on January 20, 2018.[45] He won the back-and-forth fight by unanimous decision (48-47, 49-45, 49-46).[46] He sustained an injury with a big swelling on the shin of his left leg, midway through the fight.[47][48]

Dallas could create as much as $26M in cap space, which would include declining $5M option on Dirk and re-signing him to lower number, per @BobbyMarks42. Mavericks could be players for UFA's DeMarcus Cousins and DeAndre Jordan, and RFA's Julius Randle, Clint Capela, Aaron Gordon. twitter.com/ZachLowe_NBA/s…

SEAN MARKS GOOD BREAKDOWN OF WARRIORS OFF-SEAOSN:
Anthony Slater (@anthonyVslater) | |
Interesting free agent option for the Warriors if he can't find money elsewhere: Seth Curry. Fills a bench shooting need, recent injury history diminishes value in a market short on cash + I think he might have a GSW family link.
|
CHEAP GUYS: JAMAL CRAWFORD, GERALD GREEN, JOE HARRIS, RODNEY HOOD (RFA),
OWN GUYS: MCGEE, MCCAW, LOONEY, NERLENS NOEL, KYLE O'QUINN,
WOULD THEY TAKE LESS: JJ REDDICK, DWIGHT HOWARD,
Golden State Warriors

Offseason focus
- The structure of a new Kevin Durant contract: Short- or long-term?
- Building the bench: Six free agents (not including KD)
- The budget approved by ownership: Cost of the luxury tax
- Block out distractions: Klay Thompson (free agenct in 2019) and Draymond Green (2020) are unlikely to agree to extensions
Exception
- Tax: $5.3 million
Cap-space breakdown
- For the third consecutive year, Golden State will be a tax team.
- Signing Durant to a max contract and filling out the bench with minimum contracts would have the payroll at $147 million and a luxury tax bill of $60 million.
- Using the $5.3 million tax midlevel would add another $17 million to their tax bill. The tax bill could rise if they elect to bring back restricted free agent Patrick McCaw on a contract greater than the minimum exception.
Team needs
- Starting: C
- Backup: PF
Free-agent status
- Kevin Durant | Early Bird (player option)
- Nick Young | Non-Bird
- Zaza Pachulia | Early Bird
- JaVale McGee | Early Bird
- Kevon Looney | Fourth-year restriction
- Patrick McCaw | Restricted early Bird
- David West | Early Bird

GREEN CNN INTERVIEW: -0--TO ME ISN'T THE BEST WAY TO HAVE YOUR VOICE BE HEARD ON CHANGE IS TO GO DIRECTLY TO THE TOP?
TELL TRUMP HOW YOU FEEL.....
Green was then asked if the team would make the same decision to not visit the White House should they win the NBA Finals again next year.
"I know we would make the same decision and not go," Green said. "It's not about not seeing Donald Trump or anything else that goes with it but more so about what we stand for. In order to affect change, you have to stand for something...
"Our goal is to affect some change and use our platform to do that, which is why we chose not to go to the White House, because it would just be the status quo if we did."
