While the contact calls for the maximum $99.7 million, no amount of money will ever be worth knowing what a truly fruitful career he could have had over the next five seasons.

“Amar’e is a smart man, and he knew perfectly well prior to signing this deal how quickly his career will go down the shitter,” said agent, Happy Walters. “We had bites from the Lakers, Heat, and other franchises who know how to win and make the most of their stars, but sometimes players don’t see winning or continuing to be a functional professional player as necessities.”

According to sources, Amar’e is already planning an off-season workout that will focus on developing bad chemistry with his teammates and coaches, making outlandish comments during post-game press conferences, and averaging all-time lows statistically.

Roberts Jr., Supreme Court JusticesIn political news, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of instituting a new, controversial "Grenade-Launching Cross Bows" clause in the Second Amendment this week in a 5-to-4 decision. The "District of Columbia v. Wrinklesworth," which started initially as a drunken dare between Hubert Wrinklesworth and a few friends, has now become a full-blown Supreme Court decision, and a prime example of the "dangerous beauty of American democracy."

"I'd like to think that our forefathers would be proud of our decision to allow everyday citizens access to the grenade-launching cross bows they undoubtedly need to protect themselves," said Supreme Court Justice, John G. Roberts Jr. "When we founded this country, Americans had fewer dangers to deal with. Now, people face the likes of terrorism, border-crossing-job-stealers, and super-hot teenage Vampires. I wouldn't be fulfilling my duty as a Supreme Court Justice if I didn't seriously consider the necessity of freely arming citizens with a dual anti-personnel/Medieval warfare weapons. Mark my words, this new clause is just the first of many volatile steps in the excessive armament for Domestic safety."

According to sources, in just two days since the decision, 5,000 Americans have already been "successfully brought to justice."

Public Doesn't Seem to Care About Exxon Mobil's Harboring of Human Organs

While the oil giant has been stealing and re-selling organs to China that could have been savings hundreds of human lives, people seem “pretty chill about it” since it will not have the same ecological affect as, say, an oil spill.

“Yeah, I read about [the harboring of human organs], but then again, I didn’t see any pictures of oil-soaked pelicans in the article, so I’m cool with this disaster,” said 29 year-old IT guy, Pete Miles. “I mean, I see why it’s so terrible, but it just doesn’t hit home as hard as thinking about oil-polluted waters. Maybe if there were pictures of kidney-deprived humans covered in oil, it would appear more tragic to me.”

According to sources, Exxon Mobil will not be punished for their actions since they were adamant about “not hurting animals during [their] completely illegal human organ harboring business.”
