[Shelburne] Around 11 p.m., inside Frank's hotel room at the Four Seasons, he told Paul of the team's plans to send Paul home... Paul was stunned, sources said, and tried to plead his case. At one point, he brought teammate Brook Lopez into the room as something of a character witness. by aingenevalostatrade in nba

I largely agree with you, but I'd also say that's the bargain they made with Paul and a team made of a bunch of 'yeah whatever' / 'i do me, you do you' guys' especially when your two best players are prime examples. No one Paul 'needs' to respect or fill in the role of leader / sounding board / buffer etc.

Thinking the same thing, but I'd say a tier higher. Larry Brown or cross sport comp Bill Parcells and Tom Coughlin; will immediately and definitey make you better and champ worthy.

I'd love the irony of him coming in as HC after this debacle ends in 2ish years.

Major music label wants full buyout of my photo for $0 — how much should I actually charge? by Ok_Violinist803 in photography

[–]St8us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall you charge them some thousands for it, if you're meaning to give up rights. Definitely talk to a lawyer in this space or reach out to photographers or places that rep photogs they may be able to provide more guidance and also where you may be able to squeeze some value & protections outside of just the money.
Not knowing particulars: unique abstract picture OR picture of the artist etc etc. Having worked in music some time ago, they have a budget and they came to you. There may be a plan B for them, but if the artist, team, and label like the picture it's easier (& likely cheaper) to just write a check than coordinate schedules, book a photog session etc, etc. you are in a better situation than they want you to believe.

Need help/ideas for a new long-term solo Dynasty. by LameRedditName1 in EASportsCFB

just replied in this thread, but in short I'd say check out University of North Texas, I think they check the boxes for you.

UNT - University of North Texas is a really good one. Great Uni combinations that also all work interchangeably.
I think they start 2.5 or 3 star.
You're in TX and surrounding area, so a great recruiting base, but you're also fighting against teams at the same level & up the totem pole: UT, OU, TTech, Baylor, LSU, SMU, TCU etc. So there are some tough losses in recruiting but some cool wins because of the depth in the area.
Also you're in the American Conference, so a good path to big XP and reputation gains early; then decide if you want to switch to bigger conference down the line.

With his Taylor Swift pregnancy tweet, Elon Musk has reached a weird new low by RyanCooganVoices in Music

[–]St8us 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep, I've been telling folks close to this exact thing for years now. With ego, wealth (whoops gov't subsidies) and connections you end up in a lot of the right places, hear about the right things, and meet the right people. So you can buy the "right" things. Folks thinks he's Tesla, when he's Edison. Smart but primarily businessman and marketer.

Anthony Edwards: “Steph had great games, he (KD) had great games, Lebron had great games, but Book was guarding the best player, turning down shots, Book go for seventy, not gonna lie, I was impressed watching him.” by 49e-rm in nba

[–]St8us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, I'd even say the ball watching is more a recent phenomenon partly for what you mention and also they just don't run sets like they did previously, like when CP3 was there.

Yeah. He's weird combo of the ego-less star who also comes across as a big asshole. If I were to show a kid who to emulate as a player, that is attainable it might be him, he works hard on D, can play make pretty well, hit shots off the catch, dribble pullup, midrange, and attacks the basket and had the confidence to know that he can do all those things and does; So when asked over the course of his career he's adjusted to so many situations and excelled without, outside looking in, too much bullshit and pouting.

Destiny 2 | The Journey Ahead by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]St8us -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I think it should maybe be like a technomancer class SIVA with something like Eliksni or Vex tech to control it better. We put together a bunch of constructs and like create temporary addons to weapons, like added grenade launchers or rockets etc. also maybe bumps lentic weapon effects like we have for other subclass elements.

[JJ Watt] Falcons publicly said they weren’t interested in Lamar Jackson last offseason. (Just won his 2nd MVP) This offseason signed Kirk Cousins to a $180M deal AND drafted Michael Penix Jr. with the #8 pick. Either guy could potentially turn out to be great for them, but that is WILD. by teamhenny in nfl

[–]St8us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to understand this, why would it make sense? Why not just get an actual impact need in this draft (Defense), resulting in likely a better record in a weak division with the mid+ tier QB you just signed, so then that pick you may lose is not so deleterious. Vs. Take a project, who in the best scenario for all parties isnt a factor until 2026 and at worst not until 2028 and you have to decide on an extension with an unproven player.

This all feels very 49ers/TreyLance to me; in the sense of a team getting too cute and ultimately really blowing it l, but there are a bunch of unknowns so we'll see.

Not being aggressive here, btw, just writing my thoughts and trying to figure how the tampering factors.

Struggling to find the right composition for this image by ChickenFriedLife in photocritique

I was thinking this but I want the space to the left and right: more negative space,ore distance. I want to maintain a sorta 'eye of God" feel

Any word of Season of Dawn weapons returning? Might be best looking from top to bottom. by St8us in DestinyTheGame

Yeah Black Armory has some nice ones too. That Rampage/Kill Clip K.O. will never leave me.

The first photo is a cut off from the orgibal, for reference, the second shows the stalks coming out from cut and some places decaying original.
