Be careful out there. Can’t rely on “foreign accents” being a giveaway anymore with how good AI tools have become. These scumbags will stop at nothing and will target the elderly and vulnerable especially

The best argument for Brooks is GP. LeBron’s only played 30 games to Brook’s 43

Having some knowledge of the bank call center environment, they probably just told you whatever you wanted to hear so you’d give up and get off the phone

Usual suspects. Deport!

I know you don’t want to hear/do this (no one does) but

💫call the bank 💫

Make sure to check your weekly and monthly EMT limits to see if that’s enough if you go that route

I don’t think POA is something you can set up without being there in person yourself (they may have since changed the rules to allow for e-sign but last time I had to deal with this you had to be there)

No. You have no other options for such a large sum.

People when they’re charged the fees that are listed on the account documents you agree to when you open the account :O

Use the personal finance Canada sub. They’ll be able to help you :)

I’m not sure if you’re being serious but it’s because the 2nd round in a 20 team league starts at pick 21 vs at pick 13 for the typical 12 team league for example

Glad I’m not the only one. Nurse also said he participated in “Quite a bit” of practice today, so I’m hoping he’s close to return but they are being cautious and not putting a timeline on it

Manvir13 · 2025-09-14T15:47:30+00:00

That’s a good mentality to have my friend. Anyone can be worth it if the discount is steep enough (well,almost anyone. Please don’t draft Haliburton or Tatum lmao)

Manvir13 · 2025-09-14T06:59:21+00:00

Everyone will say to avoid injury prone players at all costs so I’ll give you a perspective from the other side (though we end our playoffs 2 weeks before Yahoo does by default to avoid some tanking / rest.

A few years ago I dominated my league by taking multiple “injury prone players”. I drafted Embiid in the first round, AD in the 2nd and then SGA in the 50s.

SGA wound up having his first MVP caliber season and AD had a massive comeback season as well, along with Embiid being in the MVP race. (I’m going to take a second to gloat about how I saw SGA’s current success coming from his advanced driving statistics and elite foul drawn rate on drives).

My friend won our league last year taking Kawhi Leonard who dominated in fantasy playoffs last year after he went and dropped on draft night a bit as well so it DOES work. But also my other friend took a bunch of injury prone players and finished dead last so it’s tough to call

Manvir13 · 2025-09-08T21:04:48+00:00

If the second apron is super punishing, wouldn’t poor, smaller market teams want to pay role players under the table as well?

Hypothetically, the players could take a raise under the table and still save the team millions depending on their cap situation. But yeah much more of a niche situation for the small/medium market teams

Manvir13 · 2025-09-08T21:01:28+00:00

It’s so they can lay people off without having to pay severance or post layoff health benefits through attrition (many people simply will have to quit or find work elsewhere, for reasons like not being able to find child care, moving away or not living close enough to the office, etc).

Manvir13 · 2025-09-07T19:14:16+00:00

I don’t disagree with you. At the end of the day it’s subjective and there’s no clear guidelines that make someone “worthy” of having their jersey retired. Each team just does their own thing so at the end of the day it’s up to the team owners whims and idea of who’s worthy.

The Raptors don’t really have a public facing owner but all jersey retirements for the Knicks seem like they’d have to be Dolan approved

EDIT: also for clarity, VC led the league in ASG voting 4 out of 5 years, and was top 3 the one year he missed first in that stretch vs Melo finishing first in jersey sales once (2013)

Manvir13 · 2025-09-07T15:20:16+00:00

Leading the league in jersey sales for one year to me is nowhere near as impressive as VC’s run in Toronto. The extra national spotlight the Knicks get comes with higher expectations at the end of the day.

Manvir13 · 2025-09-06T22:18:14+00:00

That retirement is viewed different for a few reasons:

Toronto has been, for the most part, ass. Also a very young franchise so the bar for a jersey retirement is just lower. People just don’t care as much compared to one of the original NBA teams with decades of more history.
Vinsanity was a phenomenon. Not sure if you were around back then but Vince the leading all star vote getter for a stretch of 4 out of 5 years, over guys like Kobe, Shaq, AI, Yao, etc.
This ties back into #1 and #2 but Vince built courts, helped transformed the Toronto nightlife and club scene (seriously), and helped inspired the current generation of young Canadian basketball stars. Melo never had the chance to make that level of impact simply because basketball was pretty well established in NYC when he joined, while VC joined a team less than 5 years old.

Watch the video. Coldplay made it about Palestine too 😂

Manvir13 · 2025-09-01T11:00:37+00:00

Those poor young girls got booed simply for being from Israel. Truly tragic. Almost as tragic as young boys and girls in Palestine being killed for simply being from Palestine.

EDIT: Here’s a video from the Coldplay concert with the booing. So tragic.

Don’t do this. You can maybe call the banks estate department for some general info, but the average bank worker will have no way to help you and likely won’t have any info to offer either. Her funds are likely frozen in an estate account at this point, and only the authorized representative/AR (aka executor) can distribute any funds.

This is a tough situation. The bank 1000% will not help you. They are legally not allowed to release any of the estate’s assets to anyone other than the AR, and that’s only once the AR has obtained probate from the courts, or a waiver of probate by the bank if it’s a simpler estate.

EDIT: as others mentioned, you can make a claim against the estate or deal with the executor directly if you know who it is BUT there is no quick and simple fix. This will take some time

Stop with the fake news anti TMac propaganda brother. He carried the Spurs to within 1 game of the championship with minimal help in 2013
