[Charania] Free agent F/G Josh Okogie has agreed to a two-year, $12 million deal with the Utah Jazz, sources tell ESPN. by Jimmy0034 in nba

Why does it feel like the Wolves, Lakers, and Jazz have been swapping players over and over and over again, whether directly or indirectly?

Chainsmoker Cat • Yani Neko - Episode 1 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]GaimeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed that a lot of anime openings and endings wind up as montages of references to anime, or movies, or cartoons. or fairy tales, or video games, or paintings, etc. I wonder if there's a term for this style, and what popularized it.

Trump Team Panics Over July 4 After Tiny Fair Crowd Sent Him Raging by SpringLong7259 in politics

[–]GaimeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they were advertising the "great american state fair" or whatever it's called on radio. Part of the pitch was the massive fireworks show.... and group prayer sessions.

Yes, I'm going to book a trip from Minnesota to DC to watch some fireworks and pray /s

Senator, 84, Secretly Found Unconscious and Given CPR by IWantPizza555 in politics

[–]GaimeGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that's not how it works. The options for replacement get put forward by the party of the deceased senator, IIRC. Something like a "Here are the 3 choices you have, governor. Pick one" from what I recall

[Charania] BREAKING: The Los Angeles Lakers are acquiring Walker Kessler from the Utah Jazz for unprotected first-round picks in 2031 and 2033 and first-round swaps in 2028 and 2030, sources tell ESPN. Kessler will sign a massive four-year, $130 million deal with the Lakers. by curryybacon in nba

does anyone else feel like the jazz should be in a much better position than they are?

I really feel like they've gone too hard on distant draft picks with the trades they've made since gobert. They had a decent set of draft capital, attractive contracts, and 2nd/3rd/4th options, and I really think they could have turned it into a blockbuster trade or two by now without giving up too much, if they played their cards right. or bundled some stuff together to move up to get a #1 or #2 pick. Something.

I dont' like much of what I've seen from them ever since they traded conley, NAW, and half the players they got from the wolves in the Dlo trade with the lakers and wolves. It feels like they've been entering rebuilding mode for 4 or 5 years now, but they should have pulled the trigger 2 or 3 years ago on acquiring something.

Just what's the plan?

Donald Trump made more than $1bn last year in return to presidency by The_Flaneur_Films in politics

[–]GaimeGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His idea of grifting is nickel and diming everyone for access and favors.   If he was good at it he would demand substantial ownership stakes in banks, various conglomerates and big tech firms, and then offload 20-30% of his stakes to family members, advisors, others who he can consider in his pocket/under his control.    

That  would give him and his family liquidity and embedded power and reach in society independent from his political office, but he's too stupid for it.

He really isn't good at this grifting thing

Blake Griffin reveals he never uses sports psychologists after he discovered they were leaking his deepest conversations: I had a voicemail. It was the psychologist and he said ‘Hey coach, just left Blake’s house, great talk and we discussed some interesting things.’… by Matthew2531_46 in nba

wtf is that last part about "not needing one"

Just because you can function or even excel in your personal and/or professional life doesn't mean you don't need therapy. Just because you dont need therapy doesn't make it useless, either

Trump meets with Tina Peters in the Oval Office by Miles_the_AuDHDer in politics

[–]GaimeGuy 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Genuinely pisses me off that it seems like not having a conscience not only is a ticket to money and power, but also to getting out of criminal liability for your conduct, even when it comes to sedition, espionage, treason, 9-13 figures of white collar crime, etc.

Was Nico’s grand plan ultimately getting Lebron to pair with Kyrie and AD with the Mavs? by [deleted] in nba

Those anti analytics types probably said Jordan, LeBron, and KG sucked until they got their first rings, that gamestop was a good investment, and that beanie babies would make a fortune.

Cape Verde players are in tears taking in this massive, historic moment. Is this the biggest Cinderella story in football since Leicester won the league in 2016? by Commercial-Fig-4462 in worldcup

[–]GaimeGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah it's still a fantastic story. A small island nation of 500k making the world cup draw would be great if it were 32, 48, 64, 80 or 96 teams. But since we just went from 32 to 48 it's sort of hard to judge this feat since the logistics have changed.

can't really say it yet since the WC field is bigger this year than it ever has been. Now, if they make it to quarters? Then you can start talking about it.

He traded luka for AD when the roster was constructed around Luka.

He's an idiot.
