[quote]I’m also just a huge fan of scoots. I think he’ll be an all star more than BI has in the same amount of years BI has been in the league [/quote] That would be a bold move and with BI and Zion's combined injury risk you could probably sell it to the fans as "We can't keep doing the same thi...

There are multiple job openings from contending teams desperate and willing to spend to take that next step. It's a bit of a unique market Monty found himself in, but it also says coach salary inflation is out of control. If Willie isn't the guy we need to know this up coming season or he's going ...

Willie has shown he isn't afraid to bench JV when he doesn't fit the situation, and JV by saying he wants an extension is fine with that. The Pels don't need a unicorn, they need more than 2 centers so Willie has options when JV and Larry alone aren't enough to get the job done....

Naji, Trey, Herb, Jose and Dyson all give me hope that Karlo and EJ will hit the ground running too. Throw in someone like Lively at #14 and the only other move you need is turning Kira/Billy/Temple into a backup PG/Combo guard that’s big enough for Willie to play him with CJ. ...

[quote]Yeah, I bet he will re-sign on a 1-2 year extension at 8-10 million a year[/quote] JV more than anyone on the team, except maybe Jose, seemed to want to do whatever it took to win. I also can see him staying on a cheaper than you'd expect deal. Where else would he go and have as good of ...

Yeah, that was 99% background info most fans already know. Either CC is trying to subtly say he’s heard Nelson is getting fired, or he should have waited until he got actual information on the restructure. ...

The Lakers blatantly tampered with the Pelicans and regularly tampered with other small market teams. People here hold a grudge and want to see them fail because of it. It's not quite to this level, but the hate Pels fans have for the Lakers is kind of similar to the hate Saints fans have for ...

[quote]Get ready to be dependent on universal income[/quote] Getting rid of the need to have human labor as an economic input is not a bad thing. It should be something we are all cheering for to happen. [quote]politicians deciding how much money you will have.[/quote] This is the bad thi...

This article from Bloomberg lists most of the potential bidders on the next TV deal, from ESPN/Disney to Netflix. [quote]This time around, the league is expected to sell its rights to more than two companies. It could carve out games for a streaming service that include international rights or,...

[quote]That's not necessarily true. You might need a vet to come in and make him realize he has to change. Worked for Charles Barkley and countless other players. [/quote] And the Pels have Larry and CJ. You're not going to find a better candidate than CJ. He's the one that got Zion back in th...

[quote] I second guess myself on the outside being livable or not. If it is and people in charge know it is then why stay underground.[/quote] One of the themes of the show seems to be how humans are good at blindly following tradition. Maybe it’s as simple as their bible, the pact, tells them no...

Zion has been called “detached” by JJ directly and I believe a few news breakers, maybe Stan too? Bringing a stranger in to yell at Zion and fat shame him is not going to work. Zion’s maturity is going to have to come from himself and/or his inner circle, who sadly seem like controlling enabler...

[quote]Nic Claxton and Daniel Gafford were both 2nd round[/quote] That’s all I needed to see. I just remember when we were desperate for a center with a pulse in the Demps era we had a hard time finding one. ...

Outside of Jokic has a 2nd round big ever worked out? I remember in the Demps era always needing a center but not having a 1st so 2nd round guys got brought up regularly. I don't remember any of them really sticking, at least not as more than end of rotation players....

[quote]Microsoft warned on Wednesday that Chinese state-sponsored hackers had compromised “critical” U.S. cyber infrastructure across numerous industries with a focus on gathering intelligence. The Chinese hacking group, codenamed “Volt Typhoon,” has operated since mid-2021, Microsoft said in an ...

[quote]considering we havent gotten self driving carts right yet i doubt we see this anytime soon. [/quote] I'm no pilot, but isn't part of why flying is so much safer is because there's so much less chance of being in the vicinity of something to collide with? I would think self flying would be...

[quote]If you showed me this photo without any context, I’d assume it was a military aircraft. Actually, that’s still my assumption.[/quote] I’m not saying it’s not “ours”, but we wouldn’t be having everything that’s going on now if it were military. There are congressional hearings going on...

[quote]how do they know who is outside your household?[/quote] The IP addresses and devices. It would be quite easy for them to see streaming TVs/boxes in different locations. I would imagine they aren’t cracking down on mobile traffic because that would be harder to feel confident it’s outside ...

[quote]I’m not sure we get Cousins with Murray. [/quote] I agree, Murray was not the next Steph. That means we'd have Murray and whatever first we gave up for Cousins which is better in hindsight since DoItBig didn't work out. BUT it also probably means no winning the Zion lottery. The que...

Because the guy in charge is from outside of HBO and it seems like he felt HBO was too premium of a brand and they want a service that everyone will sign up for. I understand why he might feel that way, but it still feels like a dumb move even in that context....
