Nets trading Mikal Bridges to Knicks

The Nets were always going to do that. They were a terrible team that had zero playoff aspirations.
Do you view us like the 2024 Nets, who’s best player was Bridges and had zero young prospects outside of Cam Thomas, who no one seemed to want.
They had no Zion, or Fears, or Queen, or even a Murray.

First step of them saying we are giving up and going in a new direction.

Gobert to TWolves

He sucked arse in the playoffs. He and Mitchell didn’t get along.

You see the pattern? These trades signified “we give up and are going in a new direction”.
If we trade Trey, then Herb and Zion need to be next.

Paul George to LAC?

You think they traded him b/c his value was really high and they tried to capitalize on that?

He asked to be traded.

Again, give me a specific example of a team trading away a player of Treys caliber, who didn’t ask to be traded, for the sole purpose of maximizing a return of assets.

There are countries with smaller populations than the US that will have more viewers for their teams due to popularity of the sport.

yeah. sure.

quote:
USA’s opening-game triumph against Paraguay, primetime on Friday night, raked in 19 million viewers, topped up to 26 million when including Spanish-language viewers on Telemundo and Peacock. For their other two group games, that total number did not drop below 23 million. For context, Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration last year drew in 24.6 million viewers across all 15 major US networks. And the New York Knicks’ NBA Finals series win, clinched the day after the US victory over Paraguay, drew in 20.6 million per game across ABC and ESPN.

If the US was playing on the 4th of July it would probably get superbowl type numbers.

Just to give you some frame of reference, the UK had $16M viewers for there game against DR Congo, which was the most ever for a world cup game viewership in the UK.

the size of our houses.
the size of our yards.

The people i used to work with in Portugal couldn't believe that i had a full size soccer goal and an entire penalty area in my backyard, a driveway big enough to shoot 3's on a basketball goal, and a wiffle ball field in my front yard. I didn't even mention to them that i also had 2 large areas in the backyard where i have my vegetables growing. And i live in a neighborhood, not out in the country where people have even more space.

I think most of them would be amazed at our outdoor setups as well, basically having another kitchen outside.

and i think the biggest thing they never really knew about until now is the size and grandeur of our football stadiums. and i think many are surprised at the history of college football and how far back it goes and the size of those stadiums. College football is just as old as English soccer. Most of them don't realize how huge college football is.

Sure hoping to get some fishing in though.

There are a ton of fishing charters out of Leland. It's not that close, about 3 hours away, but that's where a lot of fishing charters are. They go out and catch salmon in Lake Michigan.

I also think there are some a bit closer, but north of the island near Drummond. Only about an hour away. And I'm sure there are some in Cheboygan, which is only about 30-40 minutes away.

s just a simple suggestion. 78 isnt bad especially if you are gone. Thats what I leave mine at when gone. Then 75ish when home and down to 72 at bed.

When we leave the house for a few days and the dogs stay home by themselves I put the house at 74 for them.
78 is not comfortable for anyone.

What team doesn't want their 5 who makes somewhere in the vicinity of $30-40M/yr, and are ok with taking back just expiring contracts, which basically says they aren't interested in winning this year?

Are the Sixers really going to call it quits on Embiid?

So many teams have already made big moves so the pool of teams looking to do something like this has to be rather small.

I'd love to know who the frick they are targeting here. I'm sure it's a 5 who can't shoot to save his life.

Here's who i would think are somewhat remote possibilities, ignoring the fact that most of these players teams aren't interested in taking back expiring contracts only b/c they are still wanting to win now, and i'm not interested in any of them.
Embiid
Porzingis
Sabonis
Jarrett Allen
Myles Turner
Hartenstein
Vucevic

Y’all keep saying that but Kessler is an absolute game changer. Hes the best human rim protecter on the planet in my opinion.

i would have liked to see how that works in the playoffs before giving him that massive contract. Gobert routinely sucks arse in the playoffs. Bad matchups can take a C like Gobert and Kessler completely out of a series.

Cannot believe the Lakers gave up that much to get Kessler, then gave him that ridiculous contract.

Posted by TeddyPadillac on 7/1/26 at 10:38 am to cgrand

Still pumping out shishito's. I was gone for 2 weeks so i had other people picking them and eating them, so I'm good eating them again after not having any for 2 weeks.

What's done well, for the first time ever is my cantaloupe, and man are they delicious. Last 2 years rats would eventually get to them, but with my cat on guard now that's not a problem anymore. Got unlucky with the watermelon i was growing as 3 of them decided to grow inbetween iron fence posts and i didnt' catch it until they were growing around it. Still have 2 small ones growing that i'm waiting to pick.

I did the cantaloupe in a 3 gallon grow bag and it's done really well. Just planted a bunch more cantaloupe and honey dew melon as well as pumpkin for a fall harvest, all in grow bags.

I did some fresh sausage frrom Rouses with cream cheese with wrapped in bacon with my banana peppers and they've been great. I actually have some boudin stuffing in the freezer i could use, so gonna do that this weekend.

my regular cucumber plants have all died, but my pickling cucumber plants are still alive and just started pumping out more cucumbers after a 2 week hiatus.

You probably don’t need euros, but don’t get them anywhere near the airports. Exchange rate is terrible there.

And last year when we were in Europe very few places took Amex, so be sure your credit card is Mastercard or Visa.
