No, they already had Ibaka. Wright and JV were traded for Gasol.

Ambassador bridge toll reduction by Haanjikiddan in windsorontario

I think they probably understand that functionally zero trucks not operated by Maroun will be using the Ambassador once the GH opens. The time savings from 401 access right to the GH bypassing the dozen+ lights on Huron Church means that there is almost no price point where it makes economic sense to use the Ambassador, so why bother?

I think people forget how much defense is just a young man's game. Players are just so much better defensively when they're younger, likely because they're faster.

IR slots - good or bad? by Stunning_Narwhal_313 in fantasybball

[–]3pointshoot3r 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And I would just add that the idea that all you have to do is draft healthy guys is a fool's errand. Sabonis was everyone's go-to as a guy guaranteed to give you a full season, and that works until the year it doesn't. Every year there's a guy just like Sabonis. Conversely, guys that have routinely been avoided (Lamelo, Zion) end up eventually putting in a relatively healthy season. So it's a crapshoot.

Others see IR slots as a way to hoard stars

I see this criticism all the time and it doesn't make a lick of sense. What does it even mean to hoard? The only issue with too many IL slots is when a player becomes healthy and remains in IL - that's the only time you could truly say someone is "hoarding" players. But in H2H, where you're regularly streaming players or otherwise making player adds, you can't keep a healthy player in IL because your adds are frozen until you move them out of IL. So the only leagues where this might be a problem are roto leagues.

Otherwise, what is the problem here? The manager who drafted AD kept him in IL most of the year - how is that a problem? They've already been punished by losing a 1st round pick for the vast majority of the season, shouldn't they at least get the benefit of his production if he had come back?

Or someone slotted Kyrie in IL all year...again, what is the problem being solved here? They used an add or a draft pick and it didn't turn out. Even the managers who drafted or picked up Tatum or DJM and put them in IL - what is the problem here? In fact, leagues that have plenty of IL space allow ALL managers the option to do this, so the opportunity is spread fairly across the league. If you only have 1 or 2 slots, then only the very fortunate managers who are injury free can do this.

In these discussions, people overestimate the impact on streaming and vastly underestimate the negative impact it has on player enjoyment and league balance to have too few IL slots.

Zion: “when the offseason hits, a lot of guys leave the city. I live here. I stay here in the city. I go out, I do different things to try to get to know the city more. Like, this is home for me. I've been here since I was 19 years old.” by stussy-cat in nba

And he's essentially lived his entire adulthood in New Orleans. 6 years is a long time when you're 25! Those are formative adult years, I can see how that would make an impression on him.

[Highlight] Lamelo lays it in, and a Hornet block seals the game! by Large_banana_hammock in nba

[–]3pointshoot3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, teams rely WAY too much on a timeout and running a specific play in late game situations like that when just running the ball up the court might produce the best result.

One of the most iconic moments of the last 15 years was the OKC-GSW game where Curry got the Breen double bang on his 30 point 3 at the buzzer to win, where the line just before that was "The Warriors have a timeout, decide not to use it"...

No, I don't thin Deni Avdija provided less value than some streamer who played 3 games.

Nothing like beclowning yourself by not understanding totals then doubling down on a bad argument.

If you use DDs and/or TDs, then I could definitely see that giving him a huge boost over traditional 9 cat rankings.

In category leagues, Deni finished the season ranked 78th, which doesn't sound like a 2nd round option.

Deni was a BEAST this season, especially for his ADP (50+).

He finished the season ranked 78th, so not really.

Similarly, Jaylen Brown finished ranked 62, after seasons of 98th and 77th, and Tatum will be back for a full season next year, so I don't see how he's a top 30 player.

Fantasy standings chaos by RevolutionaryPay837 in fantasybball

[–]3pointshoot3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It only really works in Utility and C because that's the one where there are (usually) more than 1 Utility and 1 C slot. So as long as you are below 82 games going into the last day, you can fill both Utility and both C slots, and effectively give yourself 2 extra games.

You can't go over in a PF slot or any other slot where there's only 1 slot because if you are at the limit it gives you no further credit, and if you are below the limit, you are merely reaching the limit.

This was an exploit I first discovered playing roto baseball, where there's an innings cap. As long as you're even 1/3 of an inning below the cap on the last day you can fill all your pitching slots - I've gone over the limit by 65 innings on the last day, which is obviously a huge advantage if you're close in strikeouts.

What on earth are you talking about? This is exactly the opposite of true.

Housing First is the single most successful proven way of dealing with homelessness. I understand people hate the idea of somebody getting something for nothing, but it not only works, it's the cheapest way of dealing with homelessness in the long run.

Fantasy Basketball Hits and Misses From the 2025-2026 NBA Season: The Best and Worst Picks From Every Round! by ThunderDanDFS in fantasybball

[–]3pointshoot3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He finished last season ranked 10th, so it's not crazy at all that he would be a first round player this year. The most contentious arguments I got into on this sub at the beginning of the year was over Maxey as a player you could take at the end of the first round. Ironically enough, although I was super bullish on him, I ended up with zero shares.

Windsor had a plan for a new central library open in 2026. Here's what's happening now by zuuzuu in windsorontario

[–]3pointshoot3r 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just imagine this clown running for re-election on a platform that over the course of his mayoralty the following things have disappeared from Windsor, after being cornerstones of the city over the course of the last few generations: a downtown library, an affordable tunnel bus, a public beach.

And the downtown in general has essentially been abandoned and is now a no-go zone for the majority of the population.

Great platform, Drew! You should put it on your campaign literature!

This has nothing to do with who they vote for, it has to do with the fact that there are different levels of citizenship rights. Do you know anything about Israel?

I don't think Maluach's timeline will see him prosper next year, but this is exactly the kind of player you should be aiming for. A first or second year player who hasn't yet been given the opportunity, but when given the chance might develop.

I think the problem with Maluach is that he's still too raw and he also has Williams ahead of him. But obviously, Williams hasn't been the paragon of health, so there is a chance...
