#Athletics had the lowest team payroll in '18 at around $63M. With today's new ballpark announcment, GM David Forst tells me how much that number will go up as well as what positions are priorities this offseason. pic.twitter.com/KIEspX3GDz

"Adaptive re-use plan" is something that the A's are "willing to undertake," Kaval says. Details still to be worked out, in terms of who does what, and who pays for what.

Ryan Gorcey (@RyanGorcey)
Ballpark will be "100 percent privately financed," Kaval says. Pricetag still being evaluated for ballpark, infrastructure. #RootedInOakland

Ryan Gorcey (@RyanGorcey)
No rough date in mind as to when we will find out how much this will cost. There "could be a public-private partnership" on some of the infrastructure, Kaval says. #RootedInOakland


THE A'S BALLPARK STORIES ALWAYS BURY THE LEAD ---MONEY WHO AND HOW?

Americans watched an incredible 48.4 billion minutes of football last week. 32 billion NFL and 16.4 billion CFB. Basically 2.5 hours of football for every man, woman and child in the country.

Without John Fisher being front and Center at the most important announcement in his 13 years of ownership this project will never happen.

Answering some of the most common ballpark questions:

- It’s privately financed
- Can’t face west towards the bay due to sun angles
- Seats 34,000
- Press conference this morning at 10am for more info

-THE A'S "NEW
 STADIUM ---ANYONE CAN DRAW
-WHEN THERE ARE CONCRETE FINANCES LET'S SEE
-THERE ARE HURDLES TO JUMP
-APPROVALS
-THE PLAN FOR THE COLISEUM --SELL THEM THAT LAND?
-OAKLAND HAS NEVER BEEN WILLING TO PLAY BALL
-SO FAR NOT ANY DIFFERENT --LANNEY COLLEGE

--IF ---WHAT COULD THE A'S BE???



WARRIORS:

Anthony Slater (@anthonyVslater)
The Warriors are averaging 40.2 points in the paint, 29th in the NBA, ahead of only the Celtics. More relevant early season stats here theathletic.com/679126/2018/11…


problme is they haven't developed another like him

Yall see KD last night? I swear...I’ve seen em ALL...PLAYED against MOST of em...and I ain never seen a player who scores as EASY as KD duz...The guy is other worldly


-IN APPRECIATION OF KD ---WE DON'T APPRECIATE HIM ENOUGH AROUND HERE.
-HE'S ONE OF THE TOP SOCRERS OF ALL TIME
-HE CAN DEFENDS, PASS, SHOOT, SOCRE IN OR OUT --MAYBE THE MOST AGILE 7 FOOTER EVER
--AND HE'S LIKELY GOING TO LEAVE--BECAUSE HE'S NOT THE GUY
--HE'S MORE THAN A COMPLMENTARY PLAYER AND HE KNOWS IT
-H'E THIN SKINNED AND WANTS TO BE SEEN AS THE MAN
--HE'LL NEVER BE WHAT CURRY IS --BUT HE'S LIKELY A BETTER ALL AROUND PLAYER

Kevin Durant, ladies and gents, with 49 points in win v. Magic after 44 v. Kings.

Historical context from ⁦‪@WarriorsPR‬⁩

Warriors with two straight 40-point games: Last was Klay March 25-27, 2016. Six Warriors all-time: Klay, Curry, Jamison, Purvis, Rick Barry, and Wilt.

Phil Barber (@Skinny_Post)
I asked Kevin Durant if the Warriors, with a three-game win streak and presumably about to get two All-Stars back, are on the verge of returning to their early-season brilliance. He was downright loquacious: pic.twitter.com/dMVBAH0Hjz


GIANTS: SARRIS WROTE --- BUM IS DOWN IN VELOCTIY, LOCATION, ETC

-BUT TRDE ALL PITCHING FOR HITTING --THEN SIGN PITCHING ALL OVER AGAIN

Joel Sherman (@Joelsherman1)
1/Obviously Bumgarner is big name #SFGiants are considering moving, but also would part with LH relievers Will Smith/Tony Watson. Question is with many relievers available in fr agcy would SFG be better off waiting for July trade deadline. Obvious health risk in that.

-I THINK IM CHANGING MY TUNE ON BUM
*HE'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM WITH A TRADE
*HE MAY BE MORE VALUABLE HERE
* I WOULD TRADE PITCHING FOR HITTING THOUGH, IT'S THE ONLY WAY --- RODRIGUEZ, WILL SMITH, WATSON, SUAREZ....
*NOT SENTIMENTAL IN KEEPING BUM --JUST MAY NOT GET ENOUGH
*DEADLINE TIME --CONTENDING TEAMS MAY GIVE UP MORE


NFL:

49ERS---YOU'RE JOHN LYNCH HOW DO U DRAFT DIFFERENTLY NOW?


CFB:

The phone of former Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury has been ringing off the hook from NFL teams, including two that have given him firm offers. College offense has infiltrated the NFL and Kingsbury's superb knowledge of it is in high demand.

Gil Brandt (@Gil_Brandt)
The college phones seem to be working as well. Was told by college HC that USC is now the clear front-runner for Kingsbury. As these things tend to go, stay tuned. But for now, USC in drivers seat with OC opening. twitter.com/Gil_Brandt/sta…
