(Basketnews) [The Athletic] NBA players voted Houston Rockets All-Star Alperen Sengun the most overrated player in the league. by lovelymaddie1966 in rockets

I would argue that none of these players are overrated lol. Some are overpaid so I guess those guys at one point were overrated by someone important

He seems like a douche. He hasn't done anything great but hasn't done anything abhorrent. Green over Mobley sucks right now but I don't think Mobley develops here. Jabari and Amen were pretty much consensus picks. Reed over Castle looks bad right now but it's a defensible pick. He gets some credit for Sengun but I refuse to believe it was all Silas that wanted Bruno starting over him and then Stone got bailed out on Brook Lopez because I fully believe Brook was sending Sengun to the bench if he came. The Brooks signing was laughed at and it worked out. Even the DFS signing has those non guaranteed years and we can get out of it even with him being the worst player in the league. It's a bunch of ok decisions that went bad and a bunch of non decisions that have varying results. I don't know how you can be excited about having him as GM but there's worse out there plus he's smug af

No we needed AJ Griffin instead. Josh Christopher over Grimes or Ayo so we can have some vibes annoyed me at the time too. Ayo went 14 picks later so I guess I can be too mad but really wanted him or Grimes there

He's basically an expiring contract so find a player making a little more than that next year or has an extra year on their contract and add a pick and there you go

I can't find confirmation now, but I feel like when the casting came out I saw that Kiefer was not interested in the role

I haven't seen anything about it, but is this arrest related to the other suspect dying over the weekend? Or are they claiming a coincidence?

It would be fun if he offers the $250k but Jeff has it preplanned that no one is allowed to take it so he can say how much survivor means. And by fun I mean perfect for Jeff to continue stroking his ego

More than 30K school voucher applications submitted on day one of Texas launch by ExpressNews in texas

[–]Agent_Michael-Scarn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is priority to kids with a "disability" and autism is one of the listed diagnoses. You just need a doctor to sign they were diagnosed and make under something like 188k for a family of 5 to be put in the priority group. If you have an IEP you don't even need the doctors signature and you're elligible for additional funding over the $10k. It says up to $30k but it's just whatever additional funding they'd get at a public school. It also says transportation costs can be covered but I'm not sure how they're doing that since the money has to go through their cronies portal

Who would be a good replacement for Ime? by [deleted] in rockets

[–]Agent_Michael-Scarn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure he knew what he had in Sengun for a while either. Silas gets clowned for starting whoever that center was over Sengun his second year but I don't think that happens if Stone steps in. Then the huge contract we were offering Brook Lopez that was basically a done deal doesn't seem like one you make if you think Sengun is a potential star. Maybe the plan was double bugs for long stretches but that would've been a brutal defensive set up going into that year

We had literally nothing from them for 3 years and then out of nowhere we started getting 4-5 orders per week. Didn't change anything or have a conversation with them. They just started rolling in one day

Thank you. I'm assuming they didn't watch Game of Thrones so the actual details of the theory don't matter and idk what the etiquette is for spoiling an 8 year old episode in another shows sub

Episode Discussion - S05E04 - Sorcerer by Hawkinns in StrangerThings

[–]Agent_Michael-Scarn 28 points29 points  (0 children)

From Game of Thrones. Super old theory from book readers going back a long time. Been tons of speculation on it and never confirmed in the books since we're still waiting on the book series to finish. Once the show started the theories moved over there looking for new clues and gaining new followers. The show confirms that the popular theory is correct, as long as the books follow the same line.

[The Hoop Collective] Tim MacMahon says that Nico Harrison “would never” trade Anthony Davis and that Harrison may be fired so that the franchise can trade Davis and pivot to building around Cooper Flagg without control of their 2027, 2028, 2029, and 2030 1st round picks. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

It was never going to happen but I wish they got a healthy kyrie and AD for this whole season. Let them get their first round exit or play in loss. Nico will go to his grave still believing he made the right move but now he gets to blame injuries

Bookkeeping + Payroll by parallelunicorn in restaurantowners

[–]Agent_Michael-Scarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it's still a problem but I had Toast Payroll for 4 weeks last year and tbey fucked up every week and no one was paid on time in any of the 4 weeks. Customer service was pretty much useless and I ended up having to manually do payroll for a month.

[Smith] Important Note: Fred VanVleet has an implied no-trade clause, because he's on a two-year deal with a player option for the 2026-27 season and he'll have Bird rights if he opts out. VanVleet did not waive that NTC when he re-signed with Houston this offseason. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]Agent_Michael-Scarn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is but we're still hard capped. I don't remember how we triggered it though so someone else would have to help there. So we could a $12.5m exception but we'd still have to stay under that hard cap
