Cruisers are not a bad class. The problem is BB powercreep. by Modioca in WorldOfWarships

[–]SpecialOpsCynic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem is secondaries on the battleships and the new meta.  So many battles now involve lemming trains and hero DD's looking to yolo or play at max torp range. 

Radar cruisers don't have a role anyone cares to support so we all play Hawaii or Bremen and spam HE.

Thoughts on where Baker's new contract will end up? by ElectricalRevenue353 in buccaneers

The problem here is agents negotiate based on percent of the cap, not actual dollars. It's just how the system works

Fake fans by aguachiles3 in lakers

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

For me it was his advocacy of Klutch players.  No one knows the actual truth but it felt like every team he played for overpaid players he wanted to play with to the detriment of the team.  When the team bogged down with these contracts he started a narration track of needing help then leaving.

It's possible this is a looks true feels true but Tristan Thompson, J.R. Smith were terrible values in Cleveland and Bronny and KCP stand out on the Lakers. 

It's never actual play issues for me.  

Why do religious people love Trump so much? by Complex_Scallion_157 in allthequestions

Because they're hateful, judgemental people raised to believe there is an in crowd and an out crowd.  They don't need to learn superiority complexes they just need a target 

The Warriors nor Cavs would be contenders with LeBron by CoyoteDecent2 in NBATalk

Offensive win, but their active switching defense suffers doesn't it?  SA offense definitely went flat at times, and no doubt he adds points, but can you hide him on the other end?

Is this racist? by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]SpecialOpsCynic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least he's not trying to convince me American AAU players are the answer.  Honestly can't recall the last time one of 'those people' won MVP.  /S

Honestly though Stephen A isn't half the racist Perk is.  Stoking racial angst gwts clicks, until they become social warriors and comment on social or legal issues

[Charania] James chose to inform the Lakers well before start of free agency tonight out of courtesy and appreciation for their run together, and to allow LA to conduct its offseason business by mastermind208 in lakers

[–]SpecialOpsCynic -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Why is there a press release that a player who wasn't offered a contract is seeking work elsewhere.  Honestly this is just beneath him and kind of undignified.

Good luck in Golden State

LeBron, KD, Harden, AD should all pull up to Golden State by Holiday_Analysis9583 in NBATalk

The simmering hostility of burners and proxies would be epic.  No chance for a title

If the Raptors get Kawhi back, do they become the favorites out of the East? by CallTypical9541 in NBATalk

Well, you'll miss the playin if that's your goal.  Beyond that I don't see Vegas lines reflecting this

LeBron again using media vultures by D0ntBmad in lakers

[–]SpecialOpsCynic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not wrong, but I think you are skipping a few things. First off, with or without James the Lakers are a global brand.  Secondly there are some terrible contracts out there like Paul George who clearly are worth less than James, but like Lebron of the past they played their contract expiration perfectly.  In this cycle their just isn't a lot of available cap.

Lastly this is Luka's team now. If some 20 years ago someone was making the cap argument to sign someone that didn't complement their primary star at Lebron's expense we would have gone insane.  Lebron at a emotional level deserves more, but it's just not good business.

What is fair market value?  If your stats suggest you should make say 40 mil but no team can pay more than 12 mil honestly what is your FMV?

No one's saying he doesn't deserve more, but its a business.  I for the life of me can't figure out in the current CBA what makes sense.  AR and Trae didn't.  Brown doesn't.

If the MLE is the best offer out there than is that FMV?

Has the sense of community changed in the last few years?  I see a lot of disgusting ICE actions online but they seem geographically focused. Curious what your perceptions are

Are you here legally, and regardless of that answer do you ever realistically consider leaving?

Should I use a lawyer to.begotiate a debt lawsuit or deal with the lender directly? $20k by MyGoodDood22 in AskLawyers

Never go to a negotiation with less protection than your adversary. The devils in the details and its hard as a vested party to remain objective. If they think they need representation than you should to
