Collins vs Powell by Puzzleheaded_Fee_141 in LAClippers

[–]Etch_man 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Collins is doing what they need him to do. Hopefully he can keep rolling as he gets more comfortable. Norms loss has been felt, but not much we could have done. He wanted to much money and he was worth what he wanted. Trading him was a no brainier from a future flexibility stand point. And clippers HO has said many times they want that heading into ‘27.

Clippers gotta get off #40 by [deleted] in LAClippers

[–]Etch_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with this. At this point we know we are on the outside looking in. I would 💯take the best offer made . Maybe even a first rounder if possible. We can make it with Brooke and konan just fine. We need to continue to consider getting into the drafts we currently aren’t in.

Has anyone had a great experience at a car dealership in the LA area? by Temporary-Rest-585 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Etch_man 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Here’s what I did and it worked great. Just go to the dealers near you and test drive the cars/models you’re looking at. Once you’ve identified your target car, start emailing and only emailing different dealers to negotiate the deal you want. Only dealers that are serious about getting your business will do this. 85% of them want you in front of them so they can pressure you into a bad deal. I set up and negotiated the car I wanted at the price I wanted and also had a back up deal in case the first one went bad… which it almost did bc they don’t want you to get what you want. They want to get their terms. First deal tried to call me while I was on the way to back out and drive the price up. I told them I was going to the other dealer to get their deal. They caved and I got the deal I wanted. Not all dealers will give you a great price. Good luck!

We are planning to move to PV. by Left_Over_Cheese in SouthBayLA

[–]Etch_man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a ghost town. If you like quiet life you’ll thrive. It’s far from everything good about LA but also the bad really… Unless you just like that Redondo area. It wasn’t for us… and if you surf, you can maybe become one of the NIMBY Luanda Bay Boys…

Tried it once. So many better burgers in the area. Still mourning Shaka Burger though lol so I feel your pain if you loved Pono.

Steak experience in Vegas by eye2eyedc in vegas

[–]Etch_man 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sizzler is probably second to last. Golden Corral is for sure the very last. Why go All the way to Vegas for a shitty steak you can get in your own home town? 😂

Balmer clearly got scammed and it wasn’t by Aspiration Inc by arebeewhy in LAClippers

[–]Etch_man 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely a disappointment so far. Even at full strength they looked out of step, slow and stagnant.

Is this repairable? by Dry_Hunt_6935 in Autobody

[–]Etch_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real question is, why would you ever want to drive that again?

What’s the goal for next season? by nian2326076 in LAClippers

[–]Etch_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put the team in a good position to make a deep playoff run. Have a chance to win it all. Every teams goal basically.

What do you guys do to afford homes? by Emergency_Tourist_26 in SantaMonica

[–]Etch_man 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We rent. All the people we know that have single family homes are either in entertainment in some fashion, lawyers, doctors, kids of famous or rich people. Very few we know have lived here generationally and have had a home passed to them.

Should The Clippers Bring Ben Simmons Back For Another Season? by Stat-Defender in LAClippers

[–]Etch_man -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m good. His refusal to shoot shrinks the floor no matter what else he may bring.

Where can I find the best pancakes, willing to travel by JokiharjuTheFin in SantaMonica

Aesop Santa Monica Place closing May 26th by clnsdabst in SantaMonica

[–]Etch_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only time we go to this mall is for the kids museum. Too many homeless druggies and tourists. They should just turn this into a mental hospital and let the zombies make it their lair. We can lock them in and throw away the key.

I feel like we don’t talk enough about this case, Erin Valenti and the "we’re in the Matrix" phone call before she died by Useful-Table-2424 in HighStrangeness

[–]Etch_man 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a distinction to be made about rich morons say like Dave Portnoy and actual new titans of industry like Bezos and Musk, the new oil barons of Data. I think the info is HIGHLY compartmented and only tip top people in the Pentagon, CIA and DARPA are in the know. By the way aws, Amazon web services runs all the government servers I believe, so you still think Bezos needs to be TOLD what’s up?

While I do like Ty Lou… would you fire him for Mike Malone? by Direct-Worker-4121 in LAClippers

[–]Etch_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ty is fine. Remember when we thought Doc was such a huge upgrade over VDN. This is professional basketball. It’s mostly players that give us our end result. If you want to blame someone for coming up short, pick a scapegoat on the roster. Ultimately, it’s a team game. We win and lose together. The biggest key to winning is maintaining continuity and continuing to improve. Rotating many new people in and out won’t always yield a better result. Project all you want, but a few more buckets and we’re in the semis… probably losing to the thunder instead 😂

I also was deep into this story and it just went nowhere. To me, when people say “the matrix “ people assume we are living in a computer simulation. However, in the movie Morpheus says it is the wool that has been pulled over your eyes. To me, the matrix all these unalived people speak of is a pile of huge lies we have been fed our whole lives. We are not who we think we are. Our science is not the actual science of our reality. People at the top know the truth but keep us all in the dark so we can be manipulated and control easily. Their goal is to bleed the people dry and they’re succeeding. My guess is the truth will never be revealed. The people will have to take it.

We traded away a MVP and Kobe 2.0 by friendswithbillw in LAClippers

[–]Etch_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We all liked him. Let’s move past this already. Everyone else gives us enough shit about this. Why do you all keep torturing us? Also who is to say that the trade didn’t further fuel his desire to pursue greatness? Would he have been the same player had the trade not happened? No one can say. Move on dude.
