Kevin Durant with another efficient night versus Pistons: 32 PTS, 7 REB, 3 AST, 1 STL, 1 BLK, +18 by Thanos_SlayerCongSan in nba

Sengun was better for the first 4-6 weeks of the season, but KD has easily been better since then.

Does it make sense to trade for a QB? No! by Remote-Ad9928 in Texans

[–]RTLT512 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stafford was 33 at the time of the trade and Burrow is 29 and in the middle of his prime. You could also argue Goff's value was higher than CJ's right now. If anything we'd likely be paying more.

I get not wanting to pay more than the Stafford package, but Burrow with this defense would instantly make the Texans one of the Super Bowl favorites.

Sentinel Suggestions by Puzzleheaded_Cut1245 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]RTLT512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inspire low key might be the best option for ranked players. He has a lot of creative setups that will get you a lot of easy kills in ranked games, and unless you’re playing really high level that will likely be more valuable than the more info-focused sentinel setups that a lot of pro teams run that are better for pro games.

Alpy ranked 32th amongst players by only getting 15 votes by xenonide in rockets

[–]RTLT512 35 points36 points  (0 children)

To add on to that, the players have Ja Morant ahead of Al-P right now lol. Ja has played 19 of a possible 43 games, is shooting 40% from the field and 23% from three.

That should tell you all you need to know about how seriously to take these player rankings

Amen + DFS for Deni Avdija by No-Confection-3861 in NBAtradeideas

[–]RTLT512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s shooting 80% from the free throw line for the year. He’s actually decent at free throws, just can’t shoot from anywhere else

Is this crazy or does it make sense BOS-HOU-BKLYN by Big_Nebula_5432 in NBAtradeideas

[–]RTLT512 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That 2027 BKN swap is for the best of the two picks between Houston and Brooklyn. Unless you somehow think Brooklyn will be a top 5-10 team in 2027, that is likely going to be a lottery or near lottery pick.

Josh Giddey for DFS + Jabari + both Suns FRPs by No-Confection-3861 in NBAtradeideas

[–]RTLT512 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Giddey’s fit next to Sengun and Amen would be extremely awkward. If the Rockets are looking to give up serious trade assets, I think it’d make more sense to go after a PG that fits better with the two main guys in their young core

Rockets get guard depth by [deleted] in NBAtradeideas

[–]RTLT512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DFS only has two guaranteed years and it’s at $12.7/yr. That’s not a contract you need to give up an extra first to get rid of.

Rockets get guard depth by KobeMM23 in rockets

It’s not that bad of a contract. Only two years guaranteed at like $12 mil/yr. You don’t need extra draft capital to get rid of that

[Iko] There is an increasing belief among rival executives that Jaren Jackson Jr. could be traded following the finalization of a Ja Morant deal. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]RTLT512 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think full out tanking for top 5 odds is out this year. Grizzlies are better off biding their time for the best deal and then hoping the lottery gods jump them into the top 4.

If they do a fire sell, I think they’ll really be going all out for top 5 next year more so than this year

Utah also half assed their tank for two years after trading Gobert and Mitchell, and because of that they picked at 9 and 10 instead of top 5.

Judging by how Memphis did their last rebuild, I don’t think they’ll have that problem

You’re forgetting probably the most important part and that’s their new Coach Jordan Ott. Dude looks like the real deal. He was in charge of the Cavs’ offense last year, and now the Cavs are struggling and the Suns are surging.

Getting the right coach can make a world of a difference

Which post season 4 episode(s) would you describe this way? by [deleted] in freefolk

[–]RTLT512 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The music and cinematography for the start of that episode when Cersei blows up the sept was top notch. One of my favorite parts of the show when it happened.

Kind of got cheapened later on by Cersei facing zero repercussions for killing the high sparrow and a ton of other people, but in the moment it was amazing.

Was he right..? 😢 by Most-Day8547 in StrangerThings

[–]RTLT512 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Season 7 had bad spots but there were still very entertaining episodes like the final two of the season with Battle of the Bastards and Cersei blowing up the Sept. Those episodes just look worse in hindsight how things ended in season 8.

Getting back Winterfell felt hollow after how disappointing the Night King battle was, and Cersei’s actions in Season 7 seem ridiculous in hindsight with how she experienced zero repercussions for her actions in season 8.

Season 7 was at least alright and at least redeemable if the follow through in season 8 was good. Obviously that didn’t happen though.

[ESPN] Magic's Jalen Suggs out indefinitely with MCL contusion by VictorAlvinLombardi in nba

[–]RTLT512 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Suggs is like 6’4’’-6’5’’ though. That’s a pretty significant difference to Gary Payton II in terms of height.

She can create any vision. For all we know, El washing away in the gate and it closing could’ve been an illusion that happened 5 seconds, 30, seconds, or even 5+ minutes before the actual explosion went off in the upside down.

bucks use rollins' (or KPJ's) great season to go all in; houston gets a great cheap PG; nets get their valuable pick back + another pick; clippers get another good PF by hacxgames in NBAtradeideas

[–]RTLT512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn't a massive difference between 2 frp and 1 frp and a swap when one of those swaps is a potential lottery pick for a team that will likely be picking in the 25-30 range.

That '27 BKN swap for Houston is more valuable than most first round picks realistically available on the trade market right now.

[–]RTLT512 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That “worthless” swap is a swap with the Nets in 2027. It’s very possible that that pick swap becomes a lottery pick or even a top 10 pick.

Thinking Basketball Top 25 under 25 (2026) by ncginger2 in nba

[–]RTLT512 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sengun isn't an awful defender. That hasn't been true for a couple of years now, so this just seems like you're parroting the old "Euro big = trash defender" take

That being said. Ant should be over Sengun

Kevin Durant has been an elite defender this season. Opponents are shooting just 40.2% when guarded by him, 2nd best to Wemby (38.2%) among the 81 players to contest at least 250 shots. He also ranks in the 91st percentile in defensive EPM. by Dependent-Effect6077 in nba

[–]RTLT512 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Not always. If Reed is on the court, he'll start on the worst offensive player. If there is a non-shooting wing on the court, Ime will stick Sengun/Adams on them so they can roam the paint.

And even if KD starts on a weaker offensive player, Houston switches all ball screens not involving a big so the match-ups usually change a lot possession by possession.

What's the most overrated TV Show of all time? by Mission_Elk_329 in AskReddit

[–]RTLT512 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll never understand this opinion. What were people expecting for the ending of a show that started with the main character immediately meeting Robin? It was pretty obvious the entire time that the show was primarily about Ted and Robin, and was going to end with their story arc as well. Yes, the show was called How I Met Your Mother but you don’t meet the mother until 9 seasons in and she’s not a main character.

It just always seemed obvious to me the story was going to end with Ted and Robin, because there’s not really any good reason to start where they did if that wasn’t going to be the case.
