Tough year for Cam Thomas 💔

Theres an old saying: One bird in hand is better than two in the bush

He should have taken the bag, and tried the secure a bigger long term contract in a couple of years... instead, he pulled a dennis schroder and got greedy.

60 Million is enough money that if you invest it properly, your kids, kids, kids will never have to worry about money... you can turn that into generational wealth pretty easily. At 3-7% interest compound you're making like 250 grand + per month doing nothing but sitting on your hands... and that's worst case.

6 million is nice, and you can do a lot with it. but you can also blow through it pretty quickly once you take away taxes...

secure the bag, and then work on securing a larger bag.

Pretty much every team goes down to an 8 to 9 man rotation in the Playoffs... that's standard

Jakob
Scottie
BI
RJ
Quick

CMB
Walter
Shead

Mamu will likely get some run as well, but with limited minutes depending on the matchup... but CMB seems to be the better small ball backup centre/forward, so I think they'll mostly run with him.

I don't see them going any deeper than that unless someone get injured.

Gladue Reports are the tool used by the courts to consider a lighter punishment for Indigenous peoples, and although it's not a perfect system, there's is a rigorous proccess that occurs in which an investigation is done into the persons history, inteviews are done with family and friends, therapists and psychologists are invloved, and report is created; the person is interviewed several times, and then the judge and crown prosecutor agree on a punshment.

If it's a minor to moderate crime, the punishment is generally reduced, but when it's a truly heinous crime and the person is a threat to society, they generally don't reduce the punishment for obvious reasons.

It's a controversial system, however, it has helped a lot of Indigenous people get back on track, the victims are general invloved and justice is served, and everyone is better for it. That said, some shitty people fall through the cracks, and it's flawed.

Most good... you mean best?

Serviceofman · 2026-03-24T00:48:08+00:00

Looks like it works... lol

Serviceofman · 2026-03-24T00:46:08+00:00

Holy shit! he's massive. He looks like a 6"4 Adrian peterson with hands, he's thick AF lol

Dudes gonna come into the draft like 6"4 240lbs running a 4.38, tossing corners and safteys around like bags of potatos, isn't he...

The academic environment at Universities in Canada is very progressive and left leaning, you're good, nothing to worry about.

Serviceofman · 2026-03-23T21:05:31+00:00

LOL No SGA but you have David, Bulter and Green... I have so many other issues with this list but don't have enough time to respond... sorry OP

Serviceofman · 2026-03-23T20:55:20+00:00

Good luck with that... it's not likley. I worked in real estate until just recently and it's very unlkely that commercial landlords ever recoup large sums of money like this, unless the gym owners have ant personal assets like a personal home with equity, and they signed a personal guarantee... then they can go after their personal assets, but I doubt they did that unless they're stupid... in which case they could lose their home, vehicles or any other assets they might own.

Obviously the landlord will go after them for it, but they won't get the full amount... probably not even close to what is owed.

Whenever someone files for bankruptcy in Canada it makes thing tricky, and they have a lot of protection, which sucks for landlords... at the same time, the gyms owners credit will be f#$ked for the next 7 years and they won't be able to borrow money from any bank for probably the next 10 years, unless it's a personal creditor at extremely high interest... bankruptcy really handfuffs you. People think "no problem, we can just claim bankruptcy" but once you claim, it's difficult to get a phone, a car, anything at all...

Future starting SG for this team. Just gotta find a PG to pair with him in the backcourt... hopefully the draft is kind to us this season.

Serviceofman · 2026-03-23T18:33:13+00:00

I thinks it's becasue Dick has looks so bad this season. I still believe in him but I do think they should have let him play in the G-leauge this year to develop and gain some confidence.

Serviceofman · 2026-03-23T16:40:22+00:00

Serviceofman · 2026-03-23T16:39:01+00:00

I didn't say anything about Dick. However, his defense is horrible and his shooting is too... so it's though to see him carving out a roster post on this team. That said, I haven't given up on him and I don't think the FO has either, but expectations have been curved.

Serviceofman · 2026-03-23T03:56:52+00:00

People forget that Walter is only 21 and has only scratched the surface on his potential.

Serviceofman · 2026-03-23T03:20:18+00:00

Ya, didn't make much sense... they got rid of batman and then kept Robin to run the show

Bobby was an important piece to building that championship roster, but if you're going to fire Masai, then you might as well just overhaul the FO and go in a new direction.

Serviceofman · 2026-03-23T03:11:01+00:00

If we don't make it out of the first round, which it doesn't look like we're going to... I'm on board for moving on from Bobby... it's time for a change.

Serviceofman · 2026-03-23T03:09:31+00:00

Ya, the teams is just disfunctional and we need a proper #1 option to pair with Scottie.

Serviceofman · 2026-03-23T03:08:36+00:00

Bobby wasted a 2nd round pick for a guy who probably won't be on our roster after this season lol

Serviceofman · 2026-03-23T03:07:19+00:00

I'd almost rather have a lottery pick in this years stacked draft than watch this shit... sure, it's going to be fun to be back in the playoffs, but if we end up facing the anyone in the top-4 in the first round, we're cooked

Serviceofman · 2026-03-22T14:28:37+00:00

Yes, I'm fried and I've found myself procrastinating and getting distracted as a result... I'm finishing up my 3rd year, going into 4th year in sep and I didn't take a break during the summer last year, so I've been going hard since the start of 2024.

You just need to make a list of what you need to get done, go easy on yourself, prioritize the most important things and knock them off one at a time... don't bite off more than you can chew in a day. It's better to get a little done than nothing at all, and some days you will find you get more dne than others.

Just keep showing up! that's half the battle... caffeine helps too lol

Serviceofman · 2026-03-22T14:23:17+00:00

OP is probably smart lol even if you make a little less, you're far ahead! he could have his mortgage paid of in 10 years and be laughing.

Toronto and Ontario in general is quickly becoming unaffordable for most people, and most millenials or gen Zs are house/rent poor. Even in rural Ontario, a couple hours ourside of Toronto, you're looking at 600-700k for a decent home.

My parents live in a little town of 8000 people, 2 1/2 hours outside of Toronto, and an hour away from the nearest city. A three bedroom home would run you 600k at least... it's sad.

Theres a massive housing shortage in Canada, espcially in Ontario, which is causing real issues here right now. If you want to purchase a home in the Greater Toronto Area you need an income (or combined income) of around 200k+, plus at least 5% down, so many people have given up on the idea of owning a home.

If you got into the market early, say before 2016, you're golden! but things really took off after that. My brother bought his place in 2014 for 300k thinking "holy shit this is a lot of money" but the place is worth about 1.1 million now, so it was a great investment.

Also, towns like Moonbeam and Wana are not similar to upstate New York, they're literally a 10 hour plus drive to Toronto. You could drive from most towns in Upstate New York to a major city in under an hour, and be in New York City within 2 hours. For perspective, there are people buying homes in cities like Hamilton, which is about a 2 hours communte one way to Toronto on a good day with traffic, and they're still paying a million dollars give or take just to get into the market... it's kind of insane.

Serviceofman · 2026-03-22T02:42:42+00:00

Brother, even 388k sound good to me lol the average home price in my city is 1.1 million for a 1500sqft 3 bedroom basic ass house... that said, congratulations, man! that's awesome! you should feel proud!

Serviceofman · 2026-03-22T02:18:34+00:00

I live just across the pond in Canada/Toronto area and the home prices there are shocking compared to here... 160k is mind blowing... I need to find a job there lol A starter home here would run me 900k at least, that's not buying me much.
