Of course he never requested a trade. But he did have Rich Paul let people know that he would be quite happy to play for another team.
Since he's stuck with the Pelicans for the rest of the season, though, he's now decided to fire himself up. He needs motivation to play well, and he knows it. Fake it till it's true.

Playing strong defense as a young rookie big is really hard. There's so many different actions they have to account for as the last line of defense and people sometimes people think confusion and processing is laziness and poor motor. It's rare for a big to come into the league and hold their own in year 1. Queen isn't the exception.
I'm not saying Queen will ever be an elite defender or even an anchor, but there's many examples of bigs who develop into competent defenders with age and experience. I've seen enough flashes of this from Queen this season to believe he can be competent with consistency and time.
It's not like his defense has been consistently bad. He's been surprisingly good, for example, at defending opposing bigs on post-ups. He'll ultimately be a good defender.

This has been an underrated aspect of recent success. Moving to the bench has really helped Jeremiah.

Remember back when we had months of certain posters proudly proclaiming that Trump would end the war within 24 hours? Usually with some kind of "Suck it, you cuck neocon warmonger Ukraine bros" added on the end?
He just hates us and the Pels. I don't know why people keep responding to all the trolling.
Michael Kofman is out with a big overview of the war and where it stands. It's very much worth reading.

We had liked the thought of Madeira in Portugal but not sure now that it has been discovered.
The Azores are still basically undiscovered, despite being incredible. In 2018, Delta started flying to Ponta Delgada, but they had to discontinue the route due to underperformance. It's stunning to me that more Americans don't go to those Portuguese islands.

Yeah, they don't have parades that go down city streets like we do. The parades are in a giant stadium with a ticket to get in. The parades are not really a party — that's what the big block parties are for.
re: Is nicotine good for you?

Nicotine suppresses appetite, and the increased heart rate burns more calories. Lots of women used to smoke to keep their figure. Hence, the whole Virginia Slims marketing.

Vegas and Seattle will both be in the West. That means the East would have 2 fewer teams. So the Twolves and Us/Memphis would have to move to even it out.
Math, dude. You are forgetting to subtract the one team from the West that is moving to the East.

Not weird at all once you realize he's been healthy for a while now.
He wanted a trade but had no market, so now he has no choice but to play to try to build value.
Exactly. He was holding out to try to force a trade, but he's such a negative asset right now that we couldn't dump him without paying an unacceptable price. Holding out longer now would damage his reputation and future earnings.
He was probably healthy enough to play a month ago.

Its going to be totally nuts when someone like Shallan is straight up white.

re: Murray rejoins the team and practices

Maybe Murray plays SG off the bench but I doubt it.
Yes, I think that he will play a fair number of minutes with Fears also on the court (just like Fears and Jose played some minutes together), but the true Point Zion minutes will be limited. Zion can initiate the action even when we have a PG on the floor.

This definitely helps me forgive Dumars for the Jose trade.
With Dejounte coming back and taking up a big chunk of guard minutes, Jose was going to get forced out of the rotation
To put it bluntly, we have to play Dejounte to hope that he can rebuilt some trade value. We have to play Fears to develop him.
Jose is a better basketball player today than Jeremiah Fears, and it's always problematic to sit a superior talent to play weaker players. Trading Jose removes a possible source of locker-room discontent.

re: Loire Valley as a Day Trip From Paris
Posted by GOP_Tiger on 2/7/26 at 12:04 pm to geauxpurple
I mean, I think it's doable. But the Loire Valley was my favorite part of France, and I would say that three days would be the proper amount of time to see it. Chambord and Chenonceau are the essentials, but I really enjoyed the much older castle of Chinon (and the town).
Definitely try to spend the night in the region if you can.

Bey is a starter on nearly every team in the association.
No. I don't believe this. He's borderline and can start in stretches. But he's too inconsistent to be an every game starter.
That was true at the beginning of the season, but there's nothing inconsistent about him now. He's gotten much better as the season has progressed, which makes sense for a 26-year-old man who hadn't played basketball in 18 months.
re: tOfficial Thank you Jose Thread

I'm truly sad about it. It's not just about the impact that Jose had on winning basketball games, though that was significant. Jose made watching a game in the SKC a fun experience, regardless of what else happened that night. It's just not going to be as fun anymore.
