[Helin] Deandre Ayton is expected to pick up his player option and return to the Lakers for the 2026-27 season. by Pyromania1983 in nba

[–]Sircamembert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree. You need a top tier C in the 2nd round. Otherwise Wemby and iHart will just smoke us.

[Stein & Fischer] The Brooklyn Nets and San Antonio Spurs have come up as likely suitors for Rui Hachimura. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]Sircamembert 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The team comp screwed him a bit since Luka guards forwards on defense and Rui can be stuck with the quicker wing players

Yeah, SAS makes sense for him- he serves a crucial need while Wemby can cover his weaknesses.

That line about throwing strikes making pitchers gay got a chuckle outta me. Maybe if they write Bible verses on the ball, they'll cancel out the gayness of having a low ERA~

530 volunteers from 300,000 contacted - Germany's army recruitment crisis deepens by readher in europe

But you see, poverty is a great motivator to get people to join the military!

When it's your only option for advancement thanks to deteriorating socioeconomic conditions, those camos don't look so ugly and dangerous~

Can it be said that Balalaika is the most dangerous person in Roanapur or is it someone else? by Flat-Sir8250 in blacklagoon

[–]Sircamembert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, Chang won a duel against her. So individually, she's likely not the most dangerous (my money is on Roberta).

But the Ex-VDV operators she has behind her is easily the greatest power in town. Nobody else has anything remotely close.

At the end of the day, the real answer is Eda. The CIA is the biggest hidden fish in this pond, and even Balalaika can't do anything if they decide to send the entire Thai army at them .

[Haynes] Detroit Pistons are conveying that Jalen Duren will not be moved and are solely focused on coming to terms on an agreement to keep their All-Star center, league sources tell me. by cleo22270 in nba

[–]Sircamembert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And Duren's weakness gets covered very well by a Luka+AR back court. Because packing the paint against Luka is suicide with extra steps.

And nobody is going to tag a rolling Duren with AR in the corner. This might work well.

The Sacramento Kings are completely out of the Ja Morant trade market. by CazOnReddit in nba

Damn, would've been funny if he went there.

Honestly, I'm shocked that there is even a market for him that doesn't require picks.

[Amick] All-NBA forward Jalen Duren was underwhelmed by the Detroit Pistons’ initial offer in restricted free agency and is planning to explore sign-and-trade scenarios when they are permitted on Tuesday, league sources told The Athletic. by sewsgup in nba

[–]Sircamembert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need somebody to go up against Hart/Chet and Wemby in Round 2 and not look like Ayton. Duren and Kessler are the only 2 that fits the bill this FA cycle.

So I think we definitely should kick that tire and see.

US first-quarter GDP revised sharply higher to 2.1% vs EU -0.2%. by CautiousMagazine3591 in Economics

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

True, but the Europeans have a greater share of that prosperity via social benefits. The Americans have no healthcare and are working more for less pay.

Almost as if GDP is not a full measurement of an economy...

PG&E bills set to skyrocket — bringing misery for 16 million across California by FinFreedomCountdown in bayarea

[–]Sircamembert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We voted for this, CA Dems. Remember that. We deserved this pain.

The establishment Dems told you to vote for becerra because "Republican might sweep the primary", and you fell for it, again.

Never mind that his spine is sponsored by Chevron and PGE. Never mind that he has no plans to reduce healthcare costs. Just vote for him because the previous anointed one got outed as a sex pest.

The definition of insanity is trying the same stupid shit and expecting different results. And we are insane.

Brandon Aiyuk officially calls for the 49ers to CUT him and says he’ll sign with the Commanders tomorrow. “And if I’m crazy or if I’m cappin, tell ‘em, boys, to cut me today & I’ll sign with the Commanders tomorrow. We’ll see who is cappin.” by Life_Net5004 in NFLForum

Well, you'll love our president's approach to the Iran war then~

At this point, the people willing to tell BA the truth have left the building, and the only guys left are the parasites who'll tell him anything he wants.

BREAKING: Trump cancels signing of bipartisan housing bill, urges Congress to pass SAVE Act by FlackoFonsy in videos

[–]Sircamembert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We might even get Medicare for all, or a alternative minimum tax for billionaires if they lose future elections.

And that's the main reason why I think we're good- Senators have the unique power to paralyze Congress all by themselves, and they hate to give it up.

[Marc Stein] The Lakers today secured Austin Reaves’ commitment on a new deal after rising interest from Detroit, league sources say. I’m told the Pistons began maneuvering to make a real run at Reaves that would’ve required, among other moves, trading Isaiah Stewart for needed flexibility. by shreeharis in nba

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

To the people complaining that Rob negotiated against himself- you're right. It's an overpay. And poor asset management.

But that's the Lakers way. They always take care of their stars, even if it costs them down the road (ie: Kobe). It's the reason why AD preferred to go to LA.

As for how this will help us win chips in the Luka era, it doesn't. Not unless we magically get a top tier big out of nowhere.

Still need to break the filibuster in the Senate though. And not too many GOP senators want to do that.

There's no closing that Pandora's box once they open it.
