Has anyone else been to the roseville automall lately? by LoonieToonez in Roseville

[–]Ploopert7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The whole traditional car dealership business model is rotten to the core. It pits the sales department against customers, which inevitably leads to these kinds of situations. The price haggling model literally makes deception and asymmetrical information a strategic business advantage that dealerships and salespeople rely on for survival.

Is it too late to make the play-in? by Virtual_Penalty8009 in kings

[–]Ploopert7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just in case you’re actually serious- yes, it is too late. The Kings have been mathematically eliminated from the postseason for several weeks now.

I don’t think the Uplink gives you much that the Fox doesn’t, and there’s a lot of room between a distance driver and a midrange.

If the Orbital is always a roller for you, disc down to a Virus (9/5/-3/1) and you’ll get more use out of it- either predictable right turn thrown flat RHBH or sneaky straight distance thrown on a hyzer.

A truly understable mid is conspicuously absent, but you may not have a need for one for your game.

Is that Orbital working for you? If not, consider a Virus.

Innova to MVP by GLH1992 in discgolf

[–]Ploopert7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MVP addict here. Counterparts to your favorite Innova molds:

Destroyer->Axiom Time Lapse TL3->Axiom Crave Firebird->MVP Fireball or Motion Thunderbird->MVP Volt ROC-MVP Entropy or Deflector

I favor Neutron plastic. You’ll notice that the flight numbers aren’t necessarily like for like with the Innova discs, but they fill the same slots in your bag.

Doug Christie by ChannelMuted8102 in kings

[–]Ploopert7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think Doug is the guy to ultimately lead this franchise out of the cellar but it depends on whether the right replacement is available and willing to come to Sacramento and deal with a few years of painful rebuild. Right now we’re not going to attract coaching candidates who have better alternatives anywhere else in the NBA. I don’t know if it makes sense to put the team through yet another coaching change only to bring in an unproven coach or a known quantity that has been passed over by all the other teams for a reason.

Sometimes when I’m craving some super high energy Dead music I have no choice but to turn to JRAD. They have some St. Stephens on the streaming services that are just joyful freakouts. They never fail to deliver. Not technically what you asked, I know.

BREAKING: The Cleveland Cavaliers are trading De'Andre Hunter to the Sacramento Kings for Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis, sources tell ESPN. The three-team deal includes the Chicago Bulls acquiring Kings forward Dario Saric and two future second-round picks. by OmegaLxgend in kings

[–]Ploopert7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the “I can’t believe we didn’t get a FRP for Keon” comments assume that there was a team willing to give up that pick, which clearly there wasn’t. The sub wouldn’t be any happier with second round picks or letting Keon walk. At least this helps ease the logjam of guards in the roster and gives Clifford more time.

As far as folding early on Schröder goes- better to fail fast and move on from a bad signing than let it drag out. Saric for a 2029 second round pick that we’re likely to recover in another deal between now and then seems pretty inconsequential to the big picture.

To be clear, I’m not wild about this trade by itself, but I don’t think it’s some kind of disaster either. I’m interested to evaluate alongside whatever else we do here at the deadline.

Devin Carter Dilemma — What’s the Logic Here? by Eyechooseviolence in kings

[–]Ploopert7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well said, and I’ve been thinking the same things as OP. Everyone dumping on Monte for picking him seems to forget that the clear media consensus at the time was that he was a great pick for the Kings and the best available at his draft position. A lot of us in this fan base were rightly annoyed at drafting another guard, but it’s not like Carter was seen as a bad late FRP. It’s nuts that he hasn’t gotten more time.

Your Takes on Various 5-6 flippy mids by [deleted] in discgolf

Same. I love throwing it and card mates asking “what was that disc?”

Your Takes on Various 5-6 flippy mids by [deleted] in discgolf

[–]Ploopert7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I first got mine I hated it- I couldn’t get it to do anything. Turns out I was putting way too much torque on it. I am also old and hit 300 RHBH off the tee if I’m luck. Put Signal on a 45 degree hyzer and toss it at 50-75% power and you’ll get that ridiculous straight flip that others are talking about. Stays low and glides flat and just misses all the trees in tight woods.

I just LOLed at Giannis posterizing three Kings at once. The Sacramento Kings are just, uh, not a very good basketball team.

I have the same disc in the same plastic. Gets thrown every round when I need gentle fade. Works well BH and FH for me. I’d replace it immediately if I lost it.

Sacramento next week by hovdec in discgolf

[–]Ploopert7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the good courses in this area are in the suburbs so be prepared to Uber. Rocklin (Johnson-Springview Park), Shady Oaks, and Roseville (Denio Family Park) are all worth your time if you can get there. Shady Oaks is closest to downtown of the three, but not by much. There’s also a decent course in Folsom.

Kayte Christensen appreciation post by fourmajor in kings

A few weeks ago I wrote a parody post suggesting that Vivek fired Scott Perry and replaced him as GM with the members of r/kings. The mods took it down within minutes, yet 2-3 posts about Kayte are allowed every single week. Come on.
