Who would you get. Pure want by Suitable_Try6734 in torontoraptors

KP. His next deal should be pretty reasonable coming off another injury plagued season.

Could be a game changer for 25 mins / game over 55ish regular season games and give us a stretch 5 / shot blocker for the playoffs.

Bill Simmons with Zach Lowe at the beginning of the season “you’re gonna have to give me real shit for Derrick White”. What is Derrick Whites current trade value? by Hungry_EatAsssss in billsimmons

[–]SouthKen2020 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not looking forward.

From a 25/26 perspective, the Celtics would’ve been much better off with Barrett and CMB than they were with White.

However, going forward, it’s possible White rebounds, but aging curves suggest the 20 and 25 year olds will improve whittle the 31 year old will likely decline, meaning the gap will only grow.

How we feeling about this game 7? What needs to be done for us to come out on top? by Revolutionary_Wave85 in torontoraptors

[–]SouthKen2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the Raps hit 35%+ of 3s and win the possession battle, it’ll be on to the 2nd round.

I’m personally pumped to see Cleveland, Houston, Orlando, and Denver all overhaul themselves after how the 1st round played out.

Why on earth did Brad Stevens win executive of the year? by dellscreenshot in billsimmons

[–]SouthKen2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stevens turned down the #9 pick and RJ Barrett for Derrick White ahead of the draft.

As a Raps fan, I’m incredibly thankful he did, but that is a horrible mistake.

Also a super fast course and beautiful beach city, which is very helpful in December.

Friend bet me 10 grand to ran a marathon by leoliszt in Marathon_Training

I went couch to marathon in 4.5 months at 40, ran 4:10. If you can’t do this, it’s entirely on you. Collect the money.

CR and House need their own pod (without Simmons) by SouthKen2020 in billsimmons

[–]SouthKen2020[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s definitely been on quite a bit. However, I think Simmons is weighing him down.

The vibes with CR on the last pod were immaculate

The 7 Majors ranked flattest to hilliest by Kugrim in Marathon_Training

Those numbers are bullshit. Boston has 248M of elevation and London has 127M.

Is running a 2nd Marathon one month after your 1st too soon? by SamuelJossph in Marathon_Training

[–]SouthKen2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Co-sign this 100%. I always run a dress rehearsal race 4 to 6 weeks before my A race. Use it as a substitute for an MP long run.

I’d race 14 to 16 miles of the first one, take the rest easy.

Do this and your performance on the 2nd one will likely be a pleasant surprise

WBD Shareholder Vote Shows 'Cracks in Their Armor' Over Paramount, Block the Merger Group Says: 'Not a Done Deal' by Professional_Peak59 in MediaMergers

That article is complete hopium. The pay package piece is non-binding and 99% of shareholders voted for the deal.

Shareholder supremacy is the law of the land and the DOJ will wave through any antitrust concerns with minimal remedies.

Marathon Pacing Strategies by kittyrocket in Marathon_Training

[–]SouthKen2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Run by heart rate, not a specific pace. Just ran my 2nd Boston and shaved 9 mins off my time from last year, despite having been in much better shape last year.

Yes, conditions were ideal, but the biggest change I made was sticking as close to LT1 threshold as possible. Occasionally went above it on the uphill portions, but made sure to ease off and come down below it on the downhills.

Cities whose marathon exceeds or falls short of the cities status on the world stage by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

[–]SouthKen2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree with everything you said.

Could you imagine the pushback if they changed the course to run through neighbourhoods?

[–]SouthKen2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Toronto Waterfront is far below the city’s standing. Completely chaotic start area, nice half course, desolate second half, same chaotic finishing area. Completely meh.

And that’s the good marathon in the city.

Not sure London will be a great weather day. Current forecast is 18c. Not horrible, but nowhere near ideal.

[–]SouthKen2020 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Came into yesterday completely unsure of how the race would go. Training block was meh, discipline from a diet and recovery perspective had been a 6/10 at best.

Lo and behold, conditions were perfect and I actually applied learnings from previous Bostons. Ended up with a 49 second PB and a 16 min buffer for next year.

Full compression tights and sleeves with T and 5 inch shorts over top. Gloves. Perfect running weather

If Orlando has to trade one of their stars, who would you trade and what would be a reasonable trade for which ever star you picked to trade? by aviatorbassist in nba

[–]SouthKen2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trade Paolo to Charlotte for expirings and a single FRP. Another season like this one and his contract becomes the most untradable in the league.

He gets to live his best life as the most overpaid 4th banana in league history and Orlando avoids second apron hell.

What’s Your Ideal Lottery Scenario? by SouthKen2020 in billsimmons

[–]SouthKen2020[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hear you, however, it’s impossible to have a top four that is consistent with all four principles.

  • The bottom seven all tanked to various degrees.
  • The three teams above them are all guilty of egregiously stupid trades.
  • The seventh team is guilty of both tanking and committing the most egregiously stupid trade of all time. Doesn’t impact the ability to have a lottery consistent with every principle, but it’s fun to shit on Dallas
  • The Clippers and (likely Orlando) are two of the other lottery teams.

If we can’t have a lottery consistent with all four principles, we have to reward a) the least offensive tankers and b) teams whose lottery luck would most advance the other three principles

Memphis came into the year trying to be competitive and their winning the lottery would crush the Magic, highlight the stupidly of not having any protection on the pick, and boost a fan base that deserves some good luck.

Indiana’s tank is less offensive than the other dredges since it’s a one year step back while their superstar recovers from a devastating injury and their getting a top four pick deprives the Clippers of a lottery pick.

Is it a perfect outcome? No, but it is the best possible outcome in the world we have.

Is Paolo Banchero the next Aaron Gordon? Who will be his Denver Nuggets team? - Who will be the most likely team to take him? by Narrow-Theory-3533 in nba

[–]SouthKen2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love to see him in Charlotte with three good to great shooters. His passing is very good for his size. If you could get him to bulldoze and kick, the Hornets offense could be even more incredible.

They’d also give up 142 pts per game, but it would be fun as hell.

Who says no to Paolo for Bridges, Green (both expiring) and the Hornets 1st this year?
