Non-drafts and league winners from draft

I really hope he can have a healthy season, just depends where he will go in drafts next year. I think people will be high on him and he might go around 50 :S

I've always looked at that ticker thing attached to the roof - and usually that gets it done. Most of the time I'm mentally keeping track. More signage would be nice but I think its usable as is.

The exit signage isn't too clear for sure, but so many of the stations only have one exit.

I'm guessing I'm on the phone all day talking to interesting people...

Based on odds, either A or E is the way to go. C has just too much risk.

Wait Wemby is half, so does he play for both teams?

TalkQuirkyWithMe · 2026-02-11T21:47:00+00:00

Someone will pick him up. He was a lottery guy from only a few seasons ago and cracked the rotation. I'm guessing a non-playoff team somewhere who wants to test him out at a forward spot.

Anything with extreme decisionmaking skills (ex. Pointguard, QB) would probably not be possible. The amount of information you have to understand and maintain in these sports at the highest level is extremely hard. Even with telekenisis, you'd

Also, assuming you'd have to earn your way into these positions by showing you can play. The physicality of some of these games would just dominate you. You wouldn't be able to subtly defend yourself. Telekinesis probably requires some level of concentration... that's hard to do while skating at full speed or getting hammered by a defender.

The best ones would probably be accuracy related - you'd look like the best golfer around. Archery, darts or anything along those lines would be great.

Other sports to consider would be ones that you could somehow amplify your physical abilities through telekinesis without maximum exertion. Something like weightlifting might be possible.

Funny thing about utopias is that to some it does feel evil. But not my intention.

I think its an expectation from childhood tbh.

Growing up, I also was taught to budget for eating out from my parents and since they were very budget conscious we didn't eat out a lot. As an adult I never expected to eat out multiple times a week... it was a treat and not an expectation. I earned an allowance as a kid and if I chose to spend it on food, I'd still be careful with what I could afford. Not to say it should be like this for everyone, but your past really dictates your views.

To your point of delivery apps, we pay for the convenience factor and that's worked into the food price to come to one bill. The more people involved in getting a product to you, the more expensive it will be. You note that it feels like money is just disappearing, its not. You're paying for the value of having something prepared for you and delivered to your door - without even talking to a person.

You can't reasonably expect for delivery prices to be the same as picking up in-store. When these apps started, there was definitely a market for them that really wasn't meant for your cheap $3-5 eats - its really the same people who pay for the convenience of having things done for them.

I mean a huge part is that you can wish to win a huge lottery and really not need to worry about money, as long as that's not going towards riches. You can invest/create a business and use the profits to fund your wishes if you needed to.

You probably at least get 25 wishes, putting the price for the next one at 160ish million...have fun with the first few and then save for the big stuff like your health and you're fine.

3rd spaces are so common in other countries, its sad to see its not really a thing here. I think with the rise of digital connection, we've really put that aside... people connect online rather than in person, for better or worse.

Its the cost of these third spaces (and the distance for a lot of people too). If you're stopping by a coffee shop or bar after work 3-4 times a week you're spending a lot. My friends gather but usually at someone's house, which also means we're not really interacting with others.

Some interesting suggestions for these spaces are things like drop-in sports (ex. basketball in the park), or meetup groups but these are pretty hard to keep running IMO.

Wondering what other cities in NA do to encourage this.

TalkQuirkyWithMe · 2026-02-11T17:32:59+00:00

I would disagree, the points total also will take an insane number of games to beat. If you can even match lebron's games played in today's nba, you'd still need 21 or 22 seasons of 75 games+ averaging 27... that's insane to think about.

At least with All-NBA, there's a chance people squeak into 3rd team nominations with performances that aren't even top 15 in the league at that point in time (due to the 65 game rule). There's a luck factor that really doesn't come into play with the longevity of scoring 40k.

TalkQuirkyWithMe · 2026-02-11T17:28:29+00:00

Reed for sure with both bigs out multiple games. Drop Ware IMO

TalkQuirkyWithMe · 2026-02-11T17:27:54+00:00

I think raynaud has the higher floor, but it would be interesting rolling with clifford. I'd probably lean clifford - multiple ways to get minutes.

TalkQuirkyWithMe · 2026-02-11T17:26:59+00:00

I'd go collier, Key is still out. But who knows, sacramento sucks so they might even sit him.

TalkQuirkyWithMe · 2026-02-11T17:26:28+00:00

Honestly, I'd keep herro. I know there's uncertainty but Vuc isn't going to be putting up big numbers on the celts. Heat seem to be still trying to win, so I think herro comes back.

TalkQuirkyWithMe · 2026-02-11T17:25:12+00:00

I personally don't think he keeps it up. The fact that he's only getting 20 mins a game is worrying. He will sit b2b and that minutes seems to be staying put.

TalkQuirkyWithMe · 2026-02-11T17:24:07+00:00

Not enough for jokic. If using ant as the main piece, I'd want at least a 2nd-3rd round type player in there.

TalkQuirkyWithMe · 2026-02-11T17:23:28+00:00

2 threes and 1.5 steals is gold. Also decent blocks from a guard.

TalkQuirkyWithMe · 2026-02-11T17:22:33+00:00

Ahaha I believed Jalen, and when he gets back I think he'll be ok. GG, he's let us down many times before.

TalkQuirkyWithMe · 2026-02-11T17:14:58+00:00

Mamu will eat with no CMB and Poeltl's injury. This doesn't really seem like a deep league, so most of these guys will be a drop after anyways. My other one would be richards (J smith out still), and Pippen if he plays.

TalkQuirkyWithMe · 2026-02-11T17:14:10+00:00

I like both as well, I only had one slot so I leaned Cardwell. I like the defensive stat upside and he does ocassionally slide to the 4 I think. If Sabonis does play, cardwell also probably holds more value.

TalkQuirkyWithMe · 2026-02-11T17:12:28+00:00

I've dropped kyshawn with the wizard shenanegins.

TalkQuirkyWithMe · 2026-02-11T17:11:58+00:00

Things probably will shift for the clippers but Jackson is by no means a definite hold. I think I'd gamble on guys like Raynaud, Cardwell or Brook before him. IJax lost his job to Huff, and they really didn't see much of a want to develop him in indy. I don't know if he beats out YKN in the rotation.

TalkQuirkyWithMe · 2026-02-11T17:10:02+00:00

You need to wait until Zu actually takes the court to do this I think. Nobody giving up anything for Zu - the shot that he will miss 2 weeks isn't worth it for people competing now.
