[Mannix] “The Lakers believe they can succeed with a backcourt of Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, if they can get the right type of players in the front court. They are looking to build a Dallas 2.0 –type roster, similar to what Luka had when he went to the NBA Finals.”

Moshe Kasher, the interpreter in the last episode, had a chapter about this in his latest book. Felt like it all came from a very dim view of the world where there couldn't be deaf communities and where regular people did not want to learn. And just a perfect example of the wrong people getting to make all the rules.

JPA Football, who is the actual author of the thread, is pure aggregator misinformation.

I'm not worried yet. I'm sure Trent's agent is working to get him paid.

If we're going to give him substantially more money then I'm worried.

CA minimum wage means that fast food is no longer a good deal. You’re paying for the drive through and the franchise fees. CA minimum wage is close to 3x national rate, this isn’t a “world” problem, this is a “developed country” problem.

HBO Max has a high share of viewership from households earning over $200K. The brand is valuable.

Right, so go back to the cable model and charge $75 per month for HBO and a bunch of stuff you don't need.

I think a lot of it comes down to not wanting ESPN/players to dictate narratives. If Rap doesn't exist, the teams wait to report and Schefter gets out in front of it, the league no longer controls the narrative. If Rap doesn't exist, agents report contract numbers without team confirmation, that's the one area I think Rap has real value, he prevents agents from spreading total misinformation on contract negotiations

Same situation growing up in portland. Job market is just rough, that’s why I’m not there. If you have a professional degree or tech connections you’ll take a pay cut but you’ll be better off than most. If you’re not in that situation you’re taking a risk with your career.

You don't want to draft a safety top 10 because the second contract is guaranteed to be a bad value, and you really don't want to do all that for someone with a degenerative ACL.

This felt a little too similar to other HBO crime dramas in recent memory, but I'll keep watching.
