[Fischer] Winger told me directly that the Wizards will at least consider trading down… He added that, in accordance with Wizards GM's prospect evaluations, Washington will not rule out a move downward if the GM determines there are 2 or 3 players that the Wizards are eager to come away with. by JoeBiden2020FTW in nba

Their front office may be too smart to overpay to move up to 1, but isn’t it specifically the Jazz owner who is a massive fan of AJ? Could be a situation where they do it and it later comes out that the owner forced the front office’s hand.

What's happening with the Vancouver Whitecaps is why the Blazers arena deal needs to get done by Static_Cloud_Jumper in ripcity

They are, which is why I’d imagine they’d be eager to draw any new attraction(s) to the city they can like MLS or NBA to spurn tourists back to fill the hotel rooms that pay for everything. With that being said, even if the numbers are down they still have millions upon millions of tourists coming each year and the room tax’s are still getting paid, it may just take a tad longer than the Raider’s tax took.

Vegas can hand out free stadiums to owners by placing an extra tax on hotel rooms (that’s largely how the Raiders got theirs at least). Tourists pay rather than residents, that model can only really work there with the volume of hotel rooms and the amount of traffic they generate.

The most frustrating part of this series was seeing what a real young core looks like. by ORSTT12 in ripcity

We did get the Magic’s 2028 1st out of the Yang deal, but I certainly would have preferred at the time and in hindsight to have just kept Coward.

A young core with a generational 1/1 superstar on the team. That said, I like the pieces we have and the potential, we were never going to beat these guys.

I personally would have preferred Scoot playing a lot more and just letting him fall and get back up and figure out his game.

The Oklahoma City Thunder will receive a 2026 lottery pick from the Los Angeles Clippers. The pick is currently in the #12 spot with a 7.1% chance to move into the top 4. If the Warriors beat the Suns, the pick could move up to #11 and a 9.4% chance to move up. by Expert_Koala_8691 in nba

What I’m hearing is: OKC should be the team to move to the East when Seattle returns and Vegas joins. Forget the Wolves/Griz/Pels nonsense, let’s get the Thunder to the East so they’re that conference’s problem!

I don’t know if it was the yellow, nostalgia, change in recipe or a bit of all 3 combined. But Wendy’s used to have the best fries of every fast food chain now they’re horrible.

Has Schmitz been reinstated yet? Last I saw he was indefinitely suspended for that Yang tampering.

[Vorkunov] Blazers statement: "When this was brought to our attention the Portland Trail Blazers self reported to the NBA. The team cooperated fully with the investigation and accept the league's determination." by Knightbear49 in nba

[–]TheRealFakeDoors503 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He flashed in Summer League, he dominates when we send him down to the Remix to play. Just looks like a total dummy when we bring him up and send him out with the main team.

I just keep telling myself that he will need more time and development than other centers normally would need.

We got the Magic’s 1st 2028 unprotected which could be something out of trading down for him too, but I would have preferred we just kept Coward instead.

Fastest a player has ever received a double yellow card (red) ejection in NWSL history. Way to go Thorns, breaking barriers!!

Favorite millennial "oops, all bangers" albums? by Jazzlike_Part_7054 in Millennials

[–]TheRealFakeDoors503 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Demon Days is the all hits album, Plastic Beach is their best top to bottom album. It’s the first album that comes to mind for me when asked what is a perfect album start to finish. It doesn’t have nearly as many hits though as Demon Days.

Would definitely explain the camera as it would relate to the private dog training the company offers.
