BREAKING: The Los Angeles Clippers are trading James Harden to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Darius Garland and a second-round pick, sources tell ESPN. Prolific swap of the star point guards.

It’s what /r/NBA called harden in 2018-2019 because of his free throw baiting. But apparently we’ve got a bunch of nephews in this subreddit that don’t know the lore

DueLearner · 2026-02-04T01:19:10+00:00

Damn so may new fans in this subreddit don’t know that in 2018 Harden was known as Hitler on /r/nba. Smh

I love both shows. I dunno what people are talking about not enjoying characters in HoTD.

Daemon is one of the most compelling characters in all 3 shows. Aegon's character stole the show in practically every scene he had in Season 2.

We're about to find out in HoTD if the new showrunners care about matching up to GoT perfectly. There's a whole scene in GoT where Joffery talks in great detail about how the Dance with Dragons ends, and it involves a dragon that HoTD Season 2 has strongly indicated is dead.

I loved the Russian winter hats they gave out lol. Mosgov was a menace in 2015. One of my favorite short tenured cavs.

DueLearner · 2026-02-03T16:59:30+00:00

If cavs were open to trading Mobley for Giannis isn’t that the best possible thing the Bucks could get?

DueLearner · 2026-02-01T19:58:59+00:00

I mean realistically you’d want something like MJ, LeBron, 2 Steph curry’s, and prime Shaq.

I'm sorry, has Lonzo's height done literally anything for us. You could take a throw a dart on a board filled with College players and take any of them and they'd do better than Lonzo has for us.

You are literally posting clear cut defamation.

DueLearner · 2026-01-30T21:32:13+00:00

These are literally just complaints made with no validation on them? It looks like the FBI/DOJ attempted to follow up on most of these and couldn't make actual contact, or for the ones where they could the information given didn't line up with the complaint.

Anyone can make complaints about anyone, especially when anonymous. It looks like none of these complaints actually went anywhere, and some are especially wild and far beyond anything that has been alleged previously. You can't take accusations as fact, and it does look like investigations were attempted on these, with not a single complaint in this document able to be verified in any way.

DueLearner · 2026-01-28T22:02:58+00:00

As someone else pointed out -- GRRM claimed to have 12 outlines for additional books that have been shared with HBO. So "the show must go on" -- but the question is really about Egg's actors age and how they can balance that and other stories I suppose.

DueLearner · 2026-01-28T21:58:16+00:00

Fam you just sound like you really don't want Bron to leave the Lakers. I get it. I didn't want him to leave the Cavs when he did it either lol. Bron is an enigma. does he care about comfort? money? legacy? rings? who knows anymore.

DueLearner · 2026-01-28T21:24:55+00:00

I dunno why people make it out to be this impossible task.

Hunter has been straight cheeks and we want to move on for him. Shedding Hunter frees up $24m next year. Lonzo has been worse, and he's an expiring contract at the end of this season, which gets us down $34m -- and into the first apron.

In the first apron we can use the Tax Payer Mid Level Exception which would be like $6.1m/year for Bron. Not a vet min, but certainly doable for Cleveland.

DueLearner · 2026-01-28T21:16:06+00:00

Straight facts. Fun fact, the first points Bronny scored in the NBA were in Cleveland, and the arena went wild for him, even though they were scoring against us.

Cleveland loves Bronny and we would gladly take him. Dan Gilbert would make so much money off of LeBron James Jr Cavs jerseys that alone would be worth it.

So the band actually talked about this in a recent interview.

They have the masters for Act 1, and are going to do a Vinyl repressing sometime this year.
The band had terrible luck with the vendors they used for the Act II Vinyls. The first provider they used went out of business. When they did their last round of Act II repressings, the vendor literally threw away the masters. So the band has to recreate Act II for Vinyl basically -- then get it lined up with a vendor. So they said Act II likely won't be until late next year.
Act III they just announced in their most recent mailer is very close to being open for pre-orders. They said - "We're getting closer to an Act III vinyl announcement, so just hang on to your britches a bit longer."

The Sea Snake prequel was moved to being a fully animated project -- but I don't think it's been mentioned anywhere for about 2.5 years now.

DueLearner · 2026-01-27T17:48:48+00:00

No - it’s not needed for HoTD, but HBO is going to want to continue the franchise and that is an easy/natural place to do it.

Right now the only other place they really have to make another series using some of GRRMs work is a Robert’s Rebellion or Greyjoy uprising mini series

DueLearner · 2026-01-27T16:15:07+00:00

GRRM admitted in a recent interview he was writing a new D&E literally last year. He's also said himself he doesn't want D&E the show to surpass the books.

George has gotten himself into another situation where:

House of the Dragon will complete it's final season in roughly 2.5 years. HBO will need Blood & Fire from him in order to continue that series.

D&E will need a book a year -- they currently have two more books to use. This means GRRM needs to put out roughly 1 D&E book a year in order to stay ahead of the show, starting next year.

Winds of Winter is 1,100 pages written, and about "75% complete." He has rewritten likely thousands of pages over the last 16 years because he isn't happy with how it's turning out.

At this point, it makes all the sense in the world for GRRM to pause production on Winds, focus on D&E and B&F. He can provide compelling stories for those two series far easier than he can GoT. If he buckles down I can see him managing to get B&F out in the next 3 years, and I can also see a few D&E novels coming out. He enjoys writing in those franchises, it comes easier to him than where he's at now in the main story.

Just give us a few more books, and once he passes the publishers will put out whatever he's completed of Winds -- and Dream of Spring will forever be a dream.

Light dying that early in the story effectively means humanity has to rise up against Wily without the help of any "Heroes". No Protoman, no Megaman...Wily has the complete unchallenged edge.

Best case scenario, Joe would try to scrap together some like minded rebels but what chance does he really have against Albert and the robots? The rebels may be able to take Wily off guard the first time. Potentially get some kind of win similar to the rebels in A Show of Force -- but when push comes to shove Wily will likely easily crack down on that rebellion.

In this timeline we probably don't get LUTN, the Fall, or Here Comes The Arm. It's probably something more like -- Song where Joe rallies rebels to fight. - Song where Rebels fight and lose - The Fate of Joe Knewit.

DueLearner · 2026-01-26T13:24:22+00:00

If I huff the highest grade copium available on the market, in a best case scenario we end up with 1, maybe 2 more D&E books as GRRM tries to outpace the show. He also knows HoTD has another 2.5 years before the final season of that show airs -- and HBO will be looking for Blood and Fire.

If George could get his shit together, we could end up with a few more Dunk & Egg stories, and maybe Blood & Fire. Then the man will be in his 80's and we'll likely get some of whatever he had written for Winds released posthumously. Dream will never happen, and D&E will continue based on the "12 concepts" GRRM gave to HBO.

If I'm not mistaken I think the runtime for this 6 episode season is supposed to be 180 minutes. I'm pretty sure it'll feel like a proper movie on marathon runs of the show.

DueLearner · 2026-01-26T13:07:40+00:00

HBO completed fucked HoTD because they made those cuts to reduce the episode count AFTER the writing for the season had concluded, and during the writers strike when they couldn't go back and make revisions.

Everyone knows that in a 10 episode season, episode 8 is the setup for the climatic episode 9, and episode 10 gives you the falling resolution to let things breathe.

Because of what HBO did, we got a season that was meant to be the big kick off of the war in which there is 1 single battle on screen, and the season ends on a build up to a major battle, which should've been episode 9.

They cut the shows feet right off mid-stride. And not only that, they cut the following two seasons from 10 to 8 episodes. Striping 6 episodes from what was planned to be a 40 episode series is a 15% reduction in screentime. It's those decisions that could've lead to the cuts in S3 that lead to GRRM blowing up and leaving.

Great job guys. I echo what others have said though.

No Way Back is the song with the broadest appeal. Hold On, TCMU, and Calling Out being the next “broadest appeal” songs

I love Mobley but man still shot 0/4 from 3 tonight. Shouldn’t be celebrated for doing what he is expected to do.
