Wondering if the Warriors played Curry to avoid a fine from the league. They are usually way too cautious. But the resting all four All-Stars in San Antonio is why the fine system is in place

Paul George hitting a game-winner to lead the Thunder past a playoff team on the same night Magic Johnson resigns in L.A. while insisting the Lakers are "one guy" away from the Western Conference finals is like an O. Henry story or something. twitter.com/royceyoung/sta…

My gut feeling: Magic Johnson knows that none of the top-tier free agents (Durant, Kawhi, Klay, Kyrie, Butler, etc.) are gonna sign with the Lakers this summer so he's walking away now...

I respect Magic Johnson's personal decision to step down from the Lakers, but I can't believe he did this publicly with no warning to those he worked with. It's ultimately a good day for the Lakers though: Magic is an all-time great player but an all-time lousy front office exec. twitter.com/wojespn/status…

Near as I can tell, smallest paid crowd at PacBell/SBC/AT&T/Oracle was 23,934 on May 11, 2009 against WSH. Randy Johnson’s 298th career win. Drew 2.86 million that year. They won’t fall below 26,000 this year. That’s their season-ticket base. #sfgiants

The Giants announced 28,675 tonight. That is their smallest crowd since May 27, 2010 -- two days before they called up a rookie named Buster Posey.

NBA:
"We would have liked to have had him -- been here longer; sign a long-term deal," Golden State owner and CEO Joe Lacob said back in September.
But the two-time Finals MVP didn't want to commit long-term because he wanted to maintain ultimate flexibility. As a result, that has led to rampant speculation about his future, with the majority of the basketball world believing he will sign with the Knicks this summer.
So, how much is Lacob stressing about KD's future?
"I honestly don't even think about it," Lacob told Tim Kawakami of The Athletic on Sunday. "I don't. Because there's nothing I can do about it. Zero. He has earned the right to be a free agent. He's going to make the choice that feels best for him. And it's our job to, when the season's over, convince him that the right decision is to be a Warrior for life.
"Look, we can pay him the most money. We have a great team. We have great coaching. We have great fans. I don't think anyone can match us, when you take everything into consideration, if that's the way you're thinking about it.
"And he has a chance to win - and let' s hope it goes well this year - a chance to win more championships. I mean, it could be legendary. If he stays here … I don't know that you get this kind of opportunity very often. So I would hope that he thinks that and accepts that and decides he wants to stay."
Lacob is right that KD's decision is out of the Warriors' control. The 10-time All-Star has said that he doesn't need the franchise to re-recruit him in free agency because he already knows what the organization is all about.
If he ultimately decides to leave, it won't be because Golden State did anything wrong or pushed him out the door. It will be because he wants to experience something new and/or different.
Lacob, of course, will be disappointed if Durant signs elsewhere in July. He would like nothing more than to raise another championship banner at Chase Center in October, and then watch KD take the floor in a Warriors uniform.
But if KD goes in a different direction, "I'm not going to be mad at him," Lacob told The Athletic. "Whatever he decides to do, he decides to do. And I'll probably be a Kevin Durant fan no matter what. I'm not going to be emotional about it. There's no point."
