    NBA 2022-23 Season Thread - Wembanyama Tank-A-Thon Is On!

    Why would you be shocked if they don't make waves this summer? They'll still be over the cap, with a bunch of overpaid role players, and no real assets to deal. The only way they could trade for Siakam is if they do one of those 3 firsts + 4 swaps trades.

    NBA 2022-23 Season Thread - Wembanyama Tank-A-Thon Is On!

    Agree that its been good for the team. Disagree that they "should be bad" without Curry. Highlight again that the primary reason this team won the title last year was defense, Curry was #2. Without Curry, the defense should still be good, and there's still enough offensive talent between...

    All this Mavericks world posting reminded me that Cuban picked a Quant and his alleged sexual predator assistant over the guy that got both Dirk and Luka for his franchise. Wonder what happened to that lawsuit, settled behind the scenes? Too early to feel sorry for Luka. He signed his...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    I think this trash had to be as far off the Silmarilion as possible so they wouldn't get sued. Maybe they intentionally picked writers who had never read it so there was no chance of being influenced by it, hah. Someday a good Silmarilion adaptation will be brought to screen. Would be nice...

    The articles and delay themselves should give Microsoft more ammo anyways. Tbh Sony should have just held the event and claimed none of the exclusives, not even all them combined!, will equal the impact of CoD. Instead they delay the event, everybody seems to be taking exclusives as the reason...

    The basslines in Nutshell are so impactful. Without the bass, nutshell would just be a good song. The unique basslines give it this otherworldly vibe and tone that turns a good song into a masterpiece imo.

    No. But if beings somehow had FTL travel (which as far as we currently know is also impossible, barring some sort of wormhole phenomena ?), they could travel backwards in time on their way here after seeing the event long after it happened.

    The decision will have nothing to do with selling consoles, and everything to do with how many PS fanboys you can get to sub to game Pass, be it for console or PC. They want to grow that recurring revenue stream, period. If I were them I'd consider just having a exclusive window for pc /...

    They were always going to have to take a lot of creative license to have enough story. I have no problem with them using major characters to fill the gaps, as long as it all fits together well.

    I do feel bad for Nets fans. Two days ago they were still among the favorites for a title next year. Now not only are they going to lose Durant, probably Kyrie - the Rockets also have all their picks through 2027 in one way or another (a few are pick swaps). They have nothing to look forward...

    I wouldn't want him back tbh. The title we just won was so much more satisfying because he wasn't here. We've been there, done that on the KD thing. It was fun because of the bi#*h way Lebron won in '16, but at this point we've been there, done that. I'm more interested in watching to see...

    I can't give Durant shit for this. His problem was leaving a championship team to throw in with a flat earther. Dumb decision, but at his core he just wants to hoop and try to win games. Since he signed his max deal: #1 Kyrie refused to get vaccinated, showed he doesn't give a shit about...

    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.

    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.
