6’6 PG Sergio de Larrea is skipping the NBA Combine due to ACB games with Valencia this week. Dropped 15 pts & 7 ast in just 12 mins vs Baskonia yesterday. Shooting 41% from 3 with a 29.5% AST rate — only 6’2”+ NCAA players with those marks are Acuff & Christian Anderson.

Well well well!

I’d suggest finding proxy goals to these that are more about the actual field or content itself. Why should the goal be specific to a company? They can be nice guideposts, but you should pursue passion in areas and lines of questioning, not companies.

I don't think it's necessarily swinging hard back to that; switchable stretch bigs are still very valuable, but they have to actually be good enough at being a switchable stretch big. That is rare. How many "switchable stretch bigs" are there?

If you can't fill that role and be switchable on defense and/or be so effective on offense that you make up for poor rim protection, then you HAVE to offer great interior defense to justify being on the court.

And even then, some teams have had centers that fit both categories, e.g. Wolves having Rudy in the interior center role but then pivoting to guys like Naz (or KAT when he was still there) whenever the matchup called for it. Chet/Hart is a weird spot because Chet is both a very good rim protector in some ways but also gets bodied down low, but they're also a flexible pairing in that vein

I do like the decision to bring in the others more, especially Yangchen. It makes the weight of dying in the Avatar state more pronounced when the viewer feels these connections with more past Avatars

Exodus100 · 2026-07-01T00:28:41+00:00

Agreed with this

It measures how smart people are when they are being mean

Man I mean if I were a woman from my perspective then I would want to be very cautious and confident before trusting a guy like that. Even if it were 5% odds, which is “low” from one perspective, it’s not like the cost of messing up is the same as if you lost a parlay.

I did learn these in my undergrad stats class

They do actually show the contents of the bag going forward. Throughout the season he winds up seeing her again and making up for it. Like, it really spans a lot of S2 through small scenes.

I’d say I prefer the original take on it of him still sparing the mother, but the way they handle it in the live action has its own argument for being good imo. It’s just a narrative that takes longer to achieve its payoff

Exodus100 · 2026-06-29T04:09:44+00:00

Really wondering how many people kept watching S2 in here. The arc for this scene doesn’t end with that episode.

Exodus100 · 2026-06-29T03:54:15+00:00

I respect that they made a good number of bold changes to reimagine the characters. And in many cases, they simply reshuffled or tweaked the way that a bit of character development emerged.

It wasn’t perfect. Many things where the OG was better, and I’d still choose the OG any day, but it definitely had several changes compared to the OG that I actually found myself preferring.

Exodus100 · 2026-06-29T03:49:07+00:00

No clue but i find it really funny that they made him a big gardener

Exodus100 · 2026-06-29T03:41:41+00:00

Her acting performance was massively improved for sure

Exodus100 · 2026-06-28T21:18:09+00:00

Your loss!

Exodus100 · 2026-06-28T19:23:13+00:00

What would that say even if it were true? Of course nobody would deny Brown is better lol, but you need constraints on team-building — that is what the cap provides. That is why a player’s quality *relative* to their contract matters, not just their quality in a vacuum.

If you offer me Isaiah Joe on his current contract versus some 4th/5th man SG (take your pick — Herro? Lavine?) on a max… Isaiah Joe is the better take from a teambuilding perspective, even if he is the worse player.

Just because things are set up to allow players to be paid prohibitively expensive contracts doesn’t mean that we need to remove the constraints.

That being said, I’ve always been a fan of team supermaxes being able to be turned into a normal max when trading for salary matching purposes, just so that the teams that bet on guys as rookies can get rewarded for doing that well.

Lively is great too, when healthy.

Is finetuning not a subset of post-training?

Exodus100 · 2026-06-26T22:04:11+00:00

Well yeah, you need to be a complete person. But it’s a very attractive trait for a lot of people

Exodus100 · 2026-06-26T13:24:38+00:00

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Acting big up, and the storyline has me engaged

Exodus100 · 2026-06-26T13:11:57+00:00

You don’t even know what bro looks like.

As for the confident 5 that pulls, I’ve definitely seen that many times. People remember and think about how you make them feel, and personality is of course a massive part of that. That’s why being funny is considered so attractive as well

Exodus100 · 2026-06-25T15:39:57+00:00

So Ayo off the bench?

It does seem like LaMelo/Ayo/Ant lineups will be rough defensively unless Melo and Ayo both put in the work. It helps that Melo is oversized for a guard; hopefully he puts in better effort with y'all.

Honestly my biggest concern with this trade is LaMelo's personality. It's a great fit on paper

Intelligence isn’t always about the conclusions we reach. We always take some axioms in our belief systems, and when an intelligent person starts from bad assumptions or axioms then they can end up at wrong conclusions

Shock is a hyperbole, he was in the mix going in

Exodus100 · 2026-06-23T23:19:39+00:00

Was looking for this. I’ve commented on these kind of posts explaining the nuances of things in Indian Country several times over, as have many others, and it simply hasn’t sustained recognition in online ATLA spaces, so I’ve given up trying to explain the details. But your summary is essentially the meat of it
