I have not watched any Trek product since the terrible, G-dawful, so-called "Star Trek" (2009


I showed to this thread too late, because I was going to say “in before Ace Midnight shows up to talk about he hasn’t watched Star Trek since the reboot movie”…

It’s almost as inevitable as death and taxes…

This is where "intent" matters


If we are to take “logic” into account…which is sure what this rule had in mind…all potential pass attempts would be “intended” to throw the ball forwards.

The call on the field, which is subjective to an official’s ruling, was that it was a fumble. But of course, the QB didn’t intend to fumble, so it was later ruled an incomplete pass.

The NFL rules committee can’t get out of their own way with some of these rule determinations…

They should have just left the ruling on the field as is, but since they always have to over complicate reviews….they went by the letter of their rule(which should not have been in place originally).

It was a complete clusterfrick and they know it. The only way to save face is to just refer to the poorly planned rule they had.

one thing I want clarified is the frame of reference of "hand moving forward"...in what dimension or frame of perspective is "forward' defined.


His hand was definitely moving forward….just in the opposite direction. The “intent to throw the ball past the line of scrimmage” thing is fine….but we fricked his shite up and turned his arm angle around…..

He then completed a perfect spiral backwards…it wasn’t an out of control pass attempt, he threw the ball backwards. His arm still went forwards, just in the opposite direction….which in any case is a lateral.

The "backwards pass after a hit" rule? No


The problem here is that he successfully completed the pass attempt while getting hit….

His arm angle threw the ball backwards. It wasn’t like the ball uncontrollably flew backwards after he was hit. It was a clear spiral that left his hand after the hit, and his arm angle was throwing the pass backwards.
Yes, not the full $15mil, more like $11-13mil

I doubt we were spending that on anyone that would make a difference though.
This is not correct.

We are still under the tax.

Therefore, we have access to the Non-Taxpayer MLE.
You can see yourself out sir….

Should have known you would show up to a Star Trek thread clutching your pearls….
I’m sure that’s what they told teams that asked during the draft. So far, they haven’t been said to be actively shopping him though.

To be fair, Jake Madison did say he believes TM3 will be traded this offseason. What he goes for will give us more of an idea about where the team future is headed towards.
They have a big trade exception from the Randle trade, but it’s not enough to absorb Lamello.

I would imagine it would have to be Gobert and draft capital.
We can’t get a Center to save our lives without giving up 2 firsts…

DM5 really has been a game changer since his return.

You’re a good soldier….and I appreciate it.

If Jose was going to leave or price himself out of our reach, then it makes sense to get what you can get. 2 2nds seems right.


This….

Also, we need those 2nds to potentially move off of Poole and Murray’s contracts.
We are dangerously close to the tax line with this trade…I’m assuming we are going to make a couple more moves to help shed some salary for picks.

It's not what they intended, but I'd take the Mavs future, built around Flagg, over the Lakers


While I would agree for this year. Lebron is what is holding back the Lakers with Luka. I would prefer to build around Luka(sans Lebron), than I would Flagg. The Lakers can make some pretty decent upgrades once Lebron is out.

Or Portland drafting a random big after they just picked one last year.


Definitely going to shop Ayton

Reportedly, Bailey wants a place where he will start almost immediately and where he has a chance to be a focal point on offense


Well….that’s not here.

Has to be a smoke screen by his agent to get a team to move up for him….possibly trade up a spot or two where we are?…
Kevin probably gave them an ultimatum. Get me better players or trade me. Only problem is they can’t get better players because of their top loaded roster lol
