    He's a poor-shooting guard, not somebody you can build around. They decided to get something for him now and tank rather than continue as a below average team. Wonder if this will be followed by a Pop retirement soon.

    Large part of Intel deciding to build somewhere like that is lower cost of living meaning they don't have to pay the workers as much. They'll pay good salaries for the area, but not as much as they'd have to pay if it was on the West coast. I would expect some upward pressure on prices in the...

    Sure. And a lot also know the Cavs lucked out in 2016 because Lebron cried to the league to get Draymond suspended. Bogut then gets hurt - only 4 games in that series were played with both teams at full strength, and the Warriors were up 3-1.

    Sure, there are a few players where if any became available they'd make a deal - Embiid, Jokic, Giannis. Bradley Beal is not one of them. Poole gives you 80% of what Beale does without having to give anything away, is fraction the cost for the next year and will keep improving. What they will...

    They're not moving Wiseman for a package, not moving anybody for a package. This title solidified that. There was a point in March or so when it became apparent that Wiseman wasn't going to play at all that it looked like they really fucked up. Hadn't moved him for a vet, hadn't even traded...

    Lol fuck that "opportunistic title" bullshit. They were the best team for the first half of the season, period, and then had some big injury issues on the back half. When healthy, they easily had the best body of work between regular season and playoffs and were the best team in the league...

    For sure rates are impacting the higher priced areas, likely not nearly as much in the lower priced areas for all the reasons cited above. A lot of people can plop down $400k cash for a new house as you say. Not a lot of people can afford to plop down $2 million in cash - they need to borrow...

    Horford was behind Curry, sat on his leg, stayed on his leg and knew he was there, then rolled over putting even more weight on it. Not long after he tried to roll Curry's ankle on a 3 which he got the flagrant for. Btw, Horford gets like $7 million extra if the Celtics win the finals, he has...

    AL Horford is a dirty bitch. Two dirty plays in one game on Steph and the 2nd may have ended the series. Curry says he feels the same as he did when thta piece of shit Marcus Dumb dove on his leg 4 months ago, sending Curry to the injured list for weeks.

    Fucking painful. Hate all things Boston sports so much and you can't really lose a game 1 in a worse manner than that. At home, dominating through 3 quarters, the other teams best player doing shit, and you just get annihilated by the oppononets role players in the 4th. Open shot after open shot.

    There's only 3-4% upside for the stock for the rest of the year until it closes. The downside if for some reason the deal doesn't go through is more substantial. Obviously there's some level below 54.20 where it will settle due to all that.

    7.5 / 10 or so, really enjoyed this. I liked the first one, agree the second was very meh, but this movie was my favorite of the three so far, primarily due to it focusing much more on Dumbledore and Grindlewald. Jude Law is great as Dumbledore. Replacing Depp with Mads is obviously a plus...

    If somebody is saving for their first house, I think its better to put some money into 401k, even max it, if company has some form of match. You get more money from your employer, and you can borrow from your 401k for part of your down payment. Some people will say "oh no... don't borrow from...

    Wouldn't look at it that way since those "8-10% inflation" numbers have little correlation with housing prices. Housing prices rose for a decade when inflation was supposed to be super low. Now that real consumer inflation is high and rates are going up it seems most likely that prices are...

    How's that? Not seeing how closing and realtor costs are going to be anywhere close to $400k... But good luck to them getting that price anyways. With rates pushing up over 5% now, getting the numbers people were paying even back in Feb is going to be much tougher.

    Hell, place I moved into 16 months ago would go for ~80% more today. If I had hit the 2 year mark to avoid excess capital gains and was single I'd be all over that to try to turn a quick profit in anticipation of prices dropping. Its hard to imagine the market is not at some local peak right...

    Curry is a decent player on a nice deal but overall deal is pretty good for the Sixers too... IF Harden can get back closer to his Houston game. The rules aren't reverting back, but I think he'll be a much better fit with that team than the Nets. Both teams got better, scary for the East.
