What a horrible take this is. I'm guessing you've never been in a leadership position. Better yet, you've never played competitive ball. I love it and anyone around the game likely loved it as well. You must have hated Saban or Parcells.

Acosta, the guy Trump added to his cabinet during his first term? That guy? It's right in front of us.

This will be good

It doesn't say what you want, therefore it's BS? You know Newsweek didn't make this up right? They simply reported on it. It's so laughable.

You mean to tell me the state with some of the harshest drug laws, abortion bans, anti-semitic speech bans, forcing bibles into public schools and some of the worst employee protections in the country lacks liberty and freedom? No way! I'm shocked.

In case anyone is confused, the countries with the worst individual freedoms are largely conservative countries. Does anyone even understand what conservatism means? You really think conservatives are the party of freedom? Florida bans books for God's sake. It's wild how few people actually understand this stuff. Texas is even looking at laws to limit highway usage by those seeking out of state abortions. You can't make this ish up.

I see the bigger picture. This is the third act of aggression in the region since 2008. Ukraine, Poland, Estonia, etc. Doesn't matter what country it is. Allowing him to move in Crimea without consequence gave us the Ukraine invasion. He has to be checked at some point, as he has shown that his ambitions will likely lead to future issues moving forward.

Are you aware that the vast majority given to Ukraine is in the form of outdated weaponry and not money? Only 1/3 of what is given is in the form of financial aid. I would love not to send that money, don't get me wrong, but it is a cost I ma willing to eat in the grand scheme of things. Get ready though, cuz Trump and his team will be giving a lot more. If you don't believe me, just go listen to his cabinet picks on the matter.

It doesn't matter. He has way more support than he should in this country, so he has to say things like this. Look at your up and down votes. Now look at the response above yours. It's anecdotal, but it is common on this site and many others. People are quick to jump on Russia propaganda, because the right-wing in this country has done it for years now.

Rogan and others push Russian propaganda at every turn. Just the other day he was condemning Ukraine for attacking Russia--referring to it as an escalation--as if Ukraine shouldn't be able to defend itself or as if Russia is off-limits. Excuse tf out of me. Since when can a country being invaded by another not be proactive in its defense, especially two years into an invasion. Many on this site say Ukraine is our enemy for God's sake. And the morons here regurgitate this nonsense as the little pawns they are. The best Kremlin asset at this stage is our country's right wing. It's insane and may be the biggest threat to America we currently know, but those responsible will never be held accountable.

There's a reason that Putin was found to be financial supporting many right wing talking heads. They are willfuly spreading his message. I'm not saying they were aware they were taking Kremlin money, but they undoubtedly were. Why did the Kremlin see their messaging as valuable to Russia? People need to be real with themselves.

Not Griff--that's for sure. He put this 1990's roster together. He didn't build a modern NBA roster and has drug his feet and cost the team quite a bit. I'm not familiar with a lot of up-and-coming executive types, so giving names isn't possible.

It is officially time to start over. Our big 3 are liabilities and do not blend well. We have 105 million a year either on the bench or are flat out washed (CJ). CJ should be a 6th man at this point, but he has a fringe all-star contract.

You can't get much for any of the three, but you can start over and take whatever is made available to you. BI could be part of the core group longterm, but I'm convinced the offseason left a bad taste in his mouth and he will be looking to sign elsewhere. Perhaps he allows us to sign and trade, but I don't see that happening.

Hopefully, Z can come back and increase his value a bit, allowing the Pels to get something back in return. If not, they really need to consider cutting him and his 40+ mill per year. CJ won't bring in much of anything either, meaning we have some bad investments and made some errors along the way.

Tank and secure a top 5 pick. There are quite a few difference makers at the top of this draft. Clear your books, draft high and build around Herb, Trey, Murray and Missi. You won't be able to lure a top free agent, but if you hit in the draft, the core may not need one. You will have plenty of money to add significant free agent help, though. Then go get you a real coach.

Why do you want to rob people of their culture in a place called the "melting pot?"

Huge get for Shea! These two are great people, great workers and great reporters. They will kill it over there.
