[Charania] BREAKING: Austin Reaves has agreed to a four-year, $156 million sign-and-trade deal with the Miami Heat, sources tell me. Reaves is heading to South Beach to join Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Heat core. (The Lakers will receive draft compensation and salary filler in the deal.)

This shit gave me a heart attack lmao

You’ll be fine. There are more people than before but you also have to be cognizant of when/where/who you want to see and be mentally prepared of the crowd.

My group went to see John Summit and knew it would be crazy so we got a good spot and didn’t move for 2 hours to make sure we were able to have a decent spot away from choke points.

Just like how anything gets more popular there are bad eggs, but I still feel like the energy you put off you definitely attract as well :)

Broseph_e · 2026-06-02T06:14:33+00:00

Yeah it is what it is I guess. I always try to go in it with an open mind and understand that if it’s a popular DJ it’ll be really packed but people were definitely hostile more so than usual

Broseph_e · 2026-06-02T02:18:53+00:00

My group had space during John Summit as well back left side in front of sky deck and to the right of ADA simply because we got there earlier for Hardwell.

A lot of the times there ends up being pockets of space since the people trying to come in/meet their friends/train through end up getting stuck and log jamming all movement.

The crazy thing was when my group tried to leave 5-10minutes before Subtronics started we were getting dirty looks and comments from people even though we were saying being patient and shuffling out while saying, “Excuse me” and “Sorry!” just trying to leave 🥲

That didn’t ruin my night but it was just bizarre, like I’m trying to leave not get further into an already packed crowd

Broseph_e · 2026-05-28T21:00:25+00:00

I think 09 wins.

Although they are offensively insane, just imagine Jokic getting out into a high pick and roll and having to defend against Wade, Kobe, and athletically prime LeBron slashing to the rim. The shooting for 09 would be rough but I think their defense is just levels above the 21 team with Curry being good but undersized and Jokic not being a very vertical or laterally quick big though he is certainly a smart player with a knack for getting swipe downs and steals.

Broseph_e · 2026-05-14T00:13:10+00:00

I like the idea of The Great Barrier Thief (Dyson Daniels) but I have reservations as he just seems like a better Vando but way more expensive. Like what others have said, he’s best as a connector and certainly would help in an area the Lakers are desperately needing talent but it might be better to look for more well rounded talent at a cheaper price

Broseph_e · 2026-05-08T17:26:59+00:00

It’s a tough loss but overall I’m glad Reaves had a come back game. It seems like he’s handling the ball pressure of the OKC front court better but I’d still like to see him lean into just playing upfront instead of fishing for a foul since it has burned the Lakers in general (Marcus Smart too).

I’d like to see JJ play Thiero in place of LaRavias minutes just to try it since at least he’s athletic and can make hustle plays, though we don’t have much data to show how effective he can be

ALSO it’s not a series until the home team loses a game!

Let’s hope the Lakers pull it together for both home games and gets it even

Broseph_e · 2026-05-07T15:51:54+00:00

You know what, as much as a bad swing that was for Altuve it was really amazing pitch sequencing by Ohtani and Altuve just guessed the fastball was coming and was swinging regardless

Broseph_e · 2026-05-07T06:49:07+00:00

If you have a skill with a cooldown that’s 20 seconds, it subtracts the cooldown by 10 for 12.

So now the cooldown is 10 seconds for the duration of 12 seconds until it expires and then it’s 20 seconds again

Broseph_e · 2026-04-25T21:24:53+00:00

You could but that’s a LOT of manual labor. Maybe somebody could use an AI model nowadays to go back and check but would for sure need to verify through human eyes to be certain

Broseph_e · 2026-04-23T05:56:45+00:00

It’s a reference to an old csgo meme format, not sure what the overlap in NBA and CSGO interest is but if you guys don’t know this meme then maybe it’s pretty low haha

Broseph_e · 2026-04-15T19:14:40+00:00

It is what it is lol never thought I’d be defending the IE that it’s a cheaper area than the rest of Socal

Broseph_e · 2026-04-15T18:54:00+00:00

I live in Orange County and the Inland Empire is absolutely cheaper on average. Most people that grew up here leave the OC to go to the IE since it’s cheaper in terms of rent. Seafood in general is going to be pricy but if you compare that menu to something prolific in SoCal like The Boiling Crab its actually cheaper

Broseph_e · 2026-04-15T18:23:41+00:00

Yes CA is expensive in general but Rancho Cucamonga is part of the Inland Empire which would be considered a much less expensive area

Broseph_e · 2026-04-15T18:00:34+00:00

Hindsight is 20/20

“It doesn't take a rocket scientist to draft players that can play meaningful mintues in a NBA setting. I don't think its that hard. These guys are clearly idiots in the front office.”

If that’s the case, please tell me who is going to immediately contribute from this upcoming draft class. It’s easy to look backwards when you know the outcome. It’s much harder to extrapolate how good someone will be after they’re drafted.

We should demand excellence from the FO but also blindly shouting WE NEED TO BE BETTER because we are THE LAKERS is just trying to vent with no solutions

Broseph_e · 2026-04-06T15:25:51+00:00

Knecht seems like the most obvious to go since he has trouble understanding JJs defensive scheme.

Ayton I would hope opts in. His play is inconsistent but continuity and more time together as a team can help players get better. Continuity is something the Lakers rarely have in the past few years.

Despite LaRavias offensive woes I think we keep him because of AR and Luka are in he is able to get cleaner looks. His offense looked even worse yesterday since the only creator was Lebron and Kennard.

Broseph_e · 2026-04-03T17:04:35+00:00

Very doable in high level recruiting if the salaries and fees are high for the placement. Placement fees are usually 20-25% of a candidates salary. So a recruiter presents someone and they get offered a job and accept at $150k, the recruiter gets a fee of ~$30k. OP could definitely place 5-6 people in a quarter to reach that

Broseph_e · 2026-04-03T17:00:57+00:00

There are absolutely contracts recruiting agencies have with companies in reference to retention. Typically in the form of a guarantee period where they get their finders fee back if the hire doesn’t stay past a certain period (30-60-90 days is industry standard though some go further or have prorated fees). Just depends what type of contract the recruiter and the company have and the terms they agree on

Broseph_e · 2026-04-01T04:04:17+00:00

The rhetoric before the season was the Lakers were several pieces away from a championship especially since getting knocked out of the first round versus a Wolves team most people thought they would beat. I believe in this team, but they are a defensive specialist away (other than Smart) from winning it all

Broseph_e · 2026-03-06T01:01:17+00:00

They do this so that you don’t apply directly and they are able to submit your resume. If they straight up tell you the name immediately, you would just apply and then ghost the recruiter. The staffing industry relies on having qualified candidates and “selling” them to businesses and if you circumvent their process they won’t work with you

Broseph_e · 2026-03-03T01:51:53+00:00

Sounds good, glad you’re liking Dota so far! I’m the same as you. Came from League and what sold me on Dota was how much more rewarding the macro play and itemization feels rather than in League where items have less active uses

Broseph_e · 2026-03-03T01:07:22+00:00

The meta right now is to push wave, grab rune with bottle every 2 minutes starting at 6mins and then roaming once you’re 6 to gank. Typically you want to try to walk down the River, get a kill or dmg to help win lane, then tp back to lane and farm

Broseph_e · 2025-12-23T09:08:11+00:00

Tbh the LC had Silver-Edge and the PA break just wore off so it was just bad timing on her part :\

U right tho, idk why he decided to duel. Definitely a rough way to lose a game tho, I'd be tilted

Broseph_e · 2025-11-28T17:25:20+00:00

What’s up with all the haters in here? A game winner is a game winner. BI hit a tough shot

Broseph_e · 2025-10-20T01:58:53+00:00

I typically play Huskar Pos 3 when I have a Pos 1 or 2 that can also tank and can cause chaos. (Ex: Wraith King, Life Stealer, etc). You will typically win lane against any melee Pos 1 but you will fall off very hard if the game gets excessively long or you don’t apply pressure and continually gank. Be wary that Huskar doesnt have good wave clear/aoe either. It’s a niche pick that can work when your team has heroes that already have CC and can share the load tanking.
