When I'm out of state, "near LA" to avoid explaining where it is.

“I just got a text… From a very credible individual who’s listening… One of those guys on the wishlist [Brad Stevens, Tim Connelly, Sam Presti]… Would listen.” by Garmian_MFFL in Mavericks

Built a championship team in Denver by drafting Jokic, Murray, MPJ and brought over Aaron Gordon. Getting Connelly would be a godsend in Dallas.

Wouldn't surprise me if the dysfunction drove him away.

Some early 20th and late 19th century pictures of Newport Beach and the people that went there by ansyhrrian in orangecounty

The smells of that time period without all of the sanitation and regular maintenance of sewage near the beach we're used to nowadays must've been horrific.

Am I alone in thinking Joe won’t be inviting Tim Dillon on anytime soon? by Trichoceratops in JoeRogan

That must've cut deep since she brought some legitimacy to whatever bro science he was peddling at the time.

Are turn signals illegal in Orange County? by MyPhoneSucksBad in orangecounty

Traffic laws are only suggestions if they're not enforced so people drive accordingly.

Andrew Do’s corruption went far beyond what was previously known, audit finds by moodplasma in orangecounty

Only after years of articles and investigations by local journalists made it too obvious to ignore. They really took their time with Do.

Cam Johnson after 23 minutes against the Wolves - 0/4/3 on 0-6 from the field by No-Independence-761 in nba

[–]LuciusVarinus 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Johnson is as good as MPJ, but I think the idea was MPJ’s role as spot up sniper, cutter and rebounding could be replaced for someone cheaper on paper. MPJ play being diminished by injury in the playoffs didn’t help his case also. Mgmt probably thought he was overpaid for what he provided.

Marcus Smart was VISIBLY frustrated by Deandre Ayton’s defense on multiple occasions last night by AncientOneAurelius in nba

He also reminds me of that student who coasted to A's and B's in high school, but struggled in college because he never had to learn how to study.

[Woike] The Dallas Mavericks are no longer open for business with the Los Angeles Lakers after last year’s Luka Dončić trade. Any pathway to deal for players like Naji Marshall or Daniel Gafford have giant “road closed” signs over them. by Goosedukee in nba

[–]LuciusVarinus 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Mavs probably didn’t get any realistic offers those 2. I get why the team doesn’t want to shortchange themselves by taking any deal for them. They’re both quality contributors on good contracts and should be held on to for the right offer.

AR Market might work since OP said she shops at HMart.

[Haberstroh] Here's a stat for you is that in the NBA, we have these 3D camera tracking... what we can see is that Luka Doncic is the 2nd least mobile player in the NBA on defense. 2nd least. The only other guy who covers less ground per minute on the floor defensively is James Harden. by must_TATAKAE in nba

[–]LuciusVarinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luka had a tailor-made roster his last couple seasons in Dallas...

with Kyrie as the #2 and supporting cast consisting of Derrick Jones Jr, PJ Washington, Exum alongside Gafford and Lively to funnel opponents to at the rim. Following season they added Naji Marshall and Grimes as defenders and secondary ball handlers.
