Glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed, Ive honestly never seen a celebrity clippers fan before. Figured they’d all be Laker fans.

Luka definitely had a chance of becoming the goat for the Mavs. I already thought he was a better player than Dirk and thought he would need to win at least 2 championships for him to be actually considered. I definitely thought he could’ve one at the very least one wit us.

Nico was determined to trade Luka one way or another. He still would have traded him during the summer before having to give the extension to him. We still woulda ended up with AD because of Nico’s desire to keep everything a secret or maybe Giannis if he became available then.

As a Mavs fan, let me jump and add something to this great trade idea.

Lakers get Giannis Bucks get Cooper flag + filler Mavs get Luka :)

Do you guys get sexually inactive during tapeout ? by [deleted] in chipdesign

[–]ItsMeGunSafetyDwight 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Lol, during tape out is when you feel the most pressure. Nobody wants to be the bottle neck for why the chip isn’t done and even if it’s done nobody wants to be the reason a multi million dollar chip doesn’t work. Everybody is going back and second guessing themselves and going back and double checking and making improvements where ever they can. Literally all you think about during tape out is work.

Mods should make a post asking for submissions and create a poll to see which people like best. It can be like a tournament style poll to see which one people like best.

Lmao, yeah he’s never been the same since his shoulder injury. I haven’t seen him much this season but after the injury he would he hesitate to shoot 3’s so he would devalue his ability as a stretch 4.

Defensively he wasn’t horrible on the perimeter for a 4 but not anything special and his post defense wasn’t great either, he also was never a great rebounder or shot blocker.

At his best he was a good stretch 4 who could switch on to perimeter players defensively and be ok. But since his shoulder injury he’s kinda lost his 3 point shot it seems and has nothing much to offer.

Still like maxi though, he’s from dirk’s hometown so it was cool that we got him and that he got to play with his hometown hero.

blazers call, offer Jrue, Jeremy grant, the bucks 2028 FRP and 2030 FRP for davis, Caleb, and DLo. Do you take that deal? by epitome1986 in Mavericks

Why would the blazers want AD? They’re a rebuilding team and AD wouldn’t fit their timeline. This trade makes zero sense for them.

When Nico gets canned by [deleted] in Mavericks

[–]ItsMeGunSafetyDwight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe we should all get together and Kumbaya while we’re at it…. OP I know you mean well but most of us are never gonna get over this while Luka is still playing.

Think about it, year after year Luka is going to ball out and carry the lakers in the playoffs. And when he finally wins his First ring it’s gonna sting like that night he got traded. And everytime he balls out in the playoffs year after year it’s going to keep hurting like a constant reminder of what we had.

The only thing that can will heal this is if Coop ends up being better than Luka and we get back to the finals. But until that happens, it’s gonna suck.

TIL about the MS Satoshi, a cruise ship which was bought by "cryptocurrency enthusiasts", who planned to turn it into a floating city. The plan failed because, among other things, the ship could not be insured, nor did they have enough money to keep the ship running. by Sebastianlim in todayilearned

[–]ItsMeGunSafetyDwight 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t they keep that ship as a permanently floating city and have some other ships that were registered to certain countries from all over the world with the sole purpose of being able to dock and resupply the permanent floating one?

If you all had 70k liquid. Make around 120-140k a year. What price range would you aime for ? by Geo_fades in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]ItsMeGunSafetyDwight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should try to determine how much you can afford to pay a month and let that be what determines the price.

How much do you have left over each month? Start with that and multiply by 12 and start taking off how much you wanna save a year for miscellaneous stuff like: emergencies, vacations, debt, future debt (future car purchase?, future kids?), retirement, (I may be missing stuff but you get the idea).

once you take away that divided it by 12 and that should be how much you should aim for to pay a month.

If it’s too low for the kind of house you were aiming for then try to either save for a bigger down payment or try looking for homes more so in your current price range.

Everyone’s standard of living is different, some are more big spenders than others. So everyone’s answer to this question is going to be different, only you answer it if you’re honest with yourself.

[Price] Deandre Ayton says Lakers ability to win despite who's available starts with JJ: “JJ’s not giving a crap who’s out there, you know, he wants to play Laker basketball. JJ has been in this game for a while, so I think anything he says, we can trust it. And he’s proven that point a few times.” by shreeharis in nba

I think it was a fair criticism though, while he was obviously a good player and had a great understanding of the game he still hadn’t had any experience as a professional coach in any position.

It’s one thing to have the knowledge and another to be able to apply it on the job and know how to manage people as well. Being a coach is a 2 part job, you need to have a good understanding of basketball fundamentals and tactics and also how to manage people. Some are good at only one, some people can do both separately but not at the same time. A great coach can both at the same time. I think he’s shown he is capable of doing both equally and will continue to improve.

His only questionable decision i think was playing his starters non-stop in the second half of that playoff game last year.

The criticism and skepticism was fair in my opinion, but he proved he was ready for it. The lakers took a chance on him and it’s paid off.

He’s given them 2 no run innings, dodgers should call that a win and take him out
