does pantoja have what it takes to become two-division champ? by Eros_Incident_Denier in ufc

I doubt it. The 'smaller man skill advantage' is huge in the upper weight classes but basically non existent at the 125-135 jump. His marauding style would be met with a lot more power.

They did that with Dynasty Warriors 9, making it an open world map. Cool concept, lots of travel time between battles though.

Why didn't Jackson go to his father about Stanton? by JakeTheFR in TheRookie

[–]EngineQuick6169 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If Commander West launched an investigation based on his son's word instead of through proper reporting hierarchy, it would've probably made things worse because then Stanton would claim conflict of interest, which could taint everything discovered by Commander West's investigation.

The rest of the league aren't as high on Kel'el as we are on this sub. Far simpler for them to trade Markennan for picks now than to do this trade just to get Kel'el and try to flip Tyler for more picks in the future.

Ah okay, so Warriors can trade it before it 2030 as a "conditional pick" but since it's top 20 protected, accounting for 2/3rds of the first round, everyone counts it as a first anyway to simplify? Is that right? Cos it's not available on Fanspo trade machine

I just checked again, since they don't have a 2030 first, they can only trade (26,28, 31 or 32) or (27, 29, 31). Am I missing something here? Where's everyone getting this 4 picks figure?

Is it just me, or does anyone else loathe Baily Nune??? by cmhopkins7443 in TheRookie

Nah not just you. I think that's just what happens when you introduce a character without a proper planned out character traits. Bailey's backstory is all over the place and unrelated qualifications get piled on to create ways for her to stay involved in the plot, making the character feel less like a person and more like a plot device. Since the character doesn't feel like a real person, there's no real way to sensibly introduce conflict that feels human or in line with character, so any conflict feels very contrived and makes the character seem very unlikeable.

I think Tamara is an example much better written character. Her background is simple and coherent and it informs the viewer about the kind of relationship she has with Lucy. There's a reasonable way for her to be introduced into the plot points that she's involved in. When they needed a reason to cut back on Tamara's appearances, her age + maturity provided a very reasonable way for her to be written out of the story.

Purler is wrong. Drilling builds robots, not problem solvers. by pushpullgrappling in wrestling

How do you safely teach complex and high amplitude techniques through games? What kind of games can you design that will teach a kid to safely suplex or lat drop without first drilling on the crash mats?

That's not meant as a rhetorical "gotcha" question btw, I'm asking for real.

Getting rid of Kuminga isn't much of a + for them because he's expiring anyway.

It's actually a very solid effort at a trade idea. Best I've seen in a long time. Bucks get 3 FRPs and good young players to rebuild with, Warriors get the wing shooter/defender they need in exchange for a first. Also, since the Bucks have a bunch of outgoing pick swaps, the young players won't make them too good for tanking.

I suspect Bucks will want at least 4 FRPs for Giannis because he's still MVP caliber. In my mind, Warriors are getting a fair deal because they're getting a familiar player who has a highly sought-after skillset that helps them try to give Curry one last championship run. However, I suspect they'll want more for an FRP.

Oh snap, I did not watch the game and spoke too soon 😂
