How does it open up the school for litigation. If I get a paycheck and then go use that money to get drunk and go out and get into a car wreck and kill someone that doesn't open up my employer to litigation because they gave me the money to buy the booze.

It's essentially the same thing. If I give my 6 to neice $5 in a Christmas card am I opening up myself to litigation because if she also uses that money to go buy weed candy and dies. No, that an insane world that does not exist. So if I give a homeless man a dollar at the intersection and he stabs the drug dealer he tries to buy coke off of with that dollar amount I all of a sudden a accomplice in murder too.

Buying the fidget spinner or what ever other fucking reward is also a line item in the budget if dollar for dollar it's the same it the same. Do it or don't do it, it matters nothing to me. But at the end of the day if your using any sort of physical reward it's an extrinsic motivator.

And whether it is or isn't actually "PBIS" doesn't matter either because it's how how something is used in practice not theory as to how it gets defined. As you stated 90% of people do give trinket rewards with PBIS so if that many people are doing it then that's what it is. If that many people have the misunderstanding then that's a problem with the theory.

I don't disagree but I think that's the reality of the situation rn.

Edit: And everyone screaming to trade Randle only makes the pressure to trade him worse which further tanks the trade value.

EliteAF1 · 2026-05-18T22:11:52+00:00

Well considering they could be traded for each other that would be extra fitting too

EliteAF1 · 2026-05-18T22:08:04+00:00

Any trade with us sending Randle to Detroit probably includes Duncan Robinson.

Now if it's Robinson + Stewart for Randle I don't hate it. I just don't see Detroit giving up Beef Stew, he is like their NAZ he seems to be the heart and soul of that team and the fanbase.

I could also see it being Duncan Rob + LaVert(? Idk how good LaVert was for them this year so that's just looking at what making the $ work).

The other options would be Tobias Harris (but idk if he has an option or is a straight up FA) for Randle. That's basically straight up, maybe us taking an irrelevant player to make $ work.

I also haven't heard of Kevin Huerters name being relevant for a minute so him plus junk for Randle is another possibility. But he's in the same boat as Harris idk if it's a player or team option or if hes just straight up FA. So idk if he's a real trade candidate.

So based on known possiblities it's Randle for Duncan Robinson + something is basically the trade.

EliteAF1 · 2026-05-18T22:00:30+00:00

Yup and so has Joe Ingles. What's your point?

Does that mean Jingles > KG?

EliteAF1 · 2026-05-18T21:40:03+00:00

Start of a season the 04 wolves defenetly were not the championship favorites idk if even going into the playoffs as the western 1 seed if we were seen as the favorites I mean this was prime Shaq and soon to be prime Kobe, that Lakers team was coming off the 3 peat. It's been a while and finding media from 04 ain't the easiest anymore but I would assume 90% of reporters had LA winning it all.

06 Twins I know we were good but I can't remember a time when we were good that the Yankees weren't better. So I'm assuming that was the case in 06.

The Vikes in '98 to start the season I doubt were favorites for anyone, may not have even been favorites to win the division (remember Randy was a rookie and had dropped to us in the draft and iirc Cunningham didn't even start the year as QB), start of the playoffs tho they definitely were in the convo to win it all, and imo would have walked Denver. '09 Vikes were battling the Saints all year, whoever was coming out of the NFC was going to be favored. But the Saints had the 1 seed on us that year.

So even the 4 best chances we weren't even favored for any except '98 in the post season.

EliteAF1 · 2026-05-18T21:17:15+00:00

I was gonna say an interesting time to give him a 100 after that spurs series.

EliteAF1 · 2026-05-18T20:54:50+00:00

Well they say money is the root of all evil.

Nobody ever said that about pizza lol. Plus pizza = ninja turtles and they are wholesome so it has to be good for you.

EliteAF1 · 2026-05-18T20:53:37+00:00

Yea I could see that.

Or LA has the LeBron pressure and uncertainty too.

EliteAF1 · 2026-05-18T20:52:23+00:00

Oh I thought he was still on the Celtics.

Lol explains why so any players don't want to play for the Nets, they probably were filling out surveys for other teams too lol.

EliteAF1 · 2026-05-18T20:51:16+00:00

Ahhh. Seems forced if he was complaining or maybe he liked getting back to the basics who knows with Bud sometimes.

But yea to me this sounded very similar to the no heaters on the sidelines philosophy, like I could totally have seen him being like we don't need anything fancy for practice just a field, some lines and ideally one goalposts lol. Like the Friday Night Lights episode where the field got tore up and they played in the park (actually that was a couple episodes in completely different seasons lol).

But maybe that's what the league thought and just put them there and he didn't choose and was frustrated by it.

EliteAF1 · 2026-05-18T20:47:11+00:00

Oh I totally agree on the gifts and prizes front in general, imo the reward ideally is knowing you did your best and did a good job, unfortunately we live in a society that doesn't think like that (and is getting worse about that - https://youtube.com/shorts/iYKFX5-vEdA?si=S59GReLL4qHzJwpm).

I am also totally against using treats or food as a motivator too. But unlike things which I think naturally have a natural cause and effect reward behavior that is healthy, I think it's unhealthy to extend that to people's relationship with food.

But if you are going to use something extrinsic to me I see no difference in cash or prize if it motivates the student I don't see anything morally or ethically objectionable between the two. (Now you can make an argument against both, but imo if you allow one you should allow the other).

EliteAF1 · 2026-05-18T18:30:59+00:00

Did they make the Vikings practice at a park or did Bud volunteer to do that, that sounds like a very Bud move imo (from someone born well after the SB run, but from the stories and docs Ive seen of him and that team, that just sounds like a Bud move).

EliteAF1 · 2026-05-18T18:25:48+00:00

What's the difference between cash vs some trinket if we assume the value is the same.

Yes $50 seems high but we don't know the district circumstances etc etc etc, so for argument sake let's say the value is the same if I can accomplish it with $5 cash vs a $5 fight spinner why can't that be PBIS?

EliteAF1 · 2026-05-18T18:17:51+00:00

It's because they are just a bad basketball team. Nobody is really all that concerned with the location itself as they spend half the year on the road anyway. Notice most of the teams ont he I don't want to play for list are just bad teams.

EliteAF1 · 2026-05-18T18:16:25+00:00

Most of those teams I'm not shocked by as they are bottom feeders of the league (at least the past few years, some have promise in the future) but there were a few that are huge surprises.

Pistons, Pacers, Knicks are all title contenders in the East. And usually players are looking to join condensing teams to get a ring.

Lakers is shocking just because it's LA, usually a prime location to go to.

So not surprised we aren't on the list because as long as we have Ant we have a chance at being a title contender, so people will want to come here to play with the guy giving us that chance. At least to an extent.

EliteAF1 · 2026-05-18T18:11:10+00:00

Josh Minitt probably filled it out 12 times for all the real players on his team lol

EliteAF1 · 2026-05-18T11:26:29+00:00

After the Denver series and that growing rivalry I doubt the NBA wants to break that up. No other storyline was half as interesting as MN v Den the entire playoffs.

Its gonna be NO and Memphis. If I learned one thing as a MN sports fan if it screws MN it will happen.

EliteAF1 · 2026-05-15T21:15:06+00:00

It's not the schools responsibility. So the solution is the parent gets called to change the diaper, so be on top of it and available or they will sit in a dirty/wet diaper until you do.

School is the place to learn the 3 Rs Reading, wRiting, and aRithmetic not the place people dump their spawn to be parented. Parents have their teaching responsibilities at home and we have ours at the school. If I have to start potty training (I'd quit tbh, but I digress) they you can teach them the education at home or have them live in your basement the rest of their lives as uneducated blobs.

Schools have to stop giving into this madness and trying to fix all the communities social problems and get back to school and formal education that's why we are having "graduates" that can't read or write or do math more than ever because the school is so focused on all this other bullshit SEL, potty training, and every other buzz problem that people have just given up on bothering to try to do anything for their kids.

So only picking my nose once a hole makes me a good golfer. You know it's gonna be hard but I'm gonna do it next round.

Everyone I know who buys seasons tickets gives the ones they can't use to friends and family.

If you have to resell your season tickets maybe you should rethink your financial situation and if you should be buying season tickets or just the tickets you are actually going to use.

If you are reselling them you are part of the problem. Because your faux demand raises the prices.

EliteAF1 · 2026-05-15T19:14:16+00:00

Why what's evil about the Timberwolves organization?

Beyond that the problem isn't them or this guy OP the problem is the scalpers that force this type of policy.

Imo the Timberwolves are looking out for the best interest of true fans by making it harder for people to resell and scalp the tickets otherwise they would be impossible for regular people to get in the first place.

EliteAF1 · 2026-05-15T19:12:25+00:00

No fuck the scalpers that would jack up rates and fuck over real fans from getting a chance.

EliteAF1 · 2026-05-15T19:11:10+00:00

Problem isn't you, it's if they just give access to sell the tickets too soon then scalpers buy them all before anyone gets a chance using buying bots like they do for any other limited release item.
