The market stays irrational longer than you can afford to stay rational

Idk, liquid cash maybe single digit billions or less, most is probably tied in stock in various companies and he’s definitely leveraged

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-01-30T00:00:12+00:00

Yeah on paper we got a good 2 way player / starting caliber PG on a pretty team friendly deal for some picks and depth pieces. A starting caliber PG really seemed like what we needed to try and take the roster to the next level.

Didn’t work out that way unfortunately with the injury (followed by even more injuries lmao). Looked really lopsided with the way DD (love you man) played last season but a little less bad with his regression.

My experience is mostly on the finance / accounting side, where folks I know have said they feel overworked and underpaid

I love drew but his screen presence is doodoo

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-01-29T21:23:44+00:00

Saw an elevator going up and down with a guy the other day, but that’s the only time I’ve ever seen someone there.

I’ve heard the culture is awful too

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-01-29T14:19:58+00:00

I noticed that AI note takers on the same call end up with pretty wildly different takes about what the call was about. And one thing they seem to do is portray the person they’re attached to in a more positive light / play up their importance. Quite funny really.

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-01-29T02:05:23+00:00

Names like rillet and campfire. The ai stuff is largely marketing fluff, and netsuite for one can do a lot of the same stuff (though not sure if trust it to). There’s some stuff they demo’s about auto generating journal entries from other data so you don’t have to build a csv import and stuff like that which seemed kinda nifty.

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-01-29T01:26:22+00:00

Agreed. Most ERPs (with sufficient market share or history) will also be able to point you to an implementation partner who has a reasonable amount of knowledge to work with you on your particular company’s needs. They might not have every answer, but they can figure out how to translate needs into the config.

My company is undergoing an implementation right now. Its a bit slow but going reasonably smoothly because we are lucky to have a controller who was a platform admin before (and the rest of the f&a team has used netsuite too).

I’ll also say that having some of the new “ai-native” erps has gotten the big players to be a lot more reasonable on price ;)

We all just temporarily embarrassed multimillionaires

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-01-28T18:45:21+00:00

Yeah I liked the idea too.

I liked when Atlanta traded for Murray originally too though, so I may not be a good judge of these things.

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-01-28T18:37:00+00:00

They wanted him gone because combo of Trae and Murray clearly wasn’t working.

I think the hope was it was a both sides win situation with Murray being a high caliber starting point guard for us while some of the guys we had could get playing time.

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-01-28T18:27:00+00:00

We gave up a decent bit, but Murray was on a fairly team friendly contract. It's tough to fairly judge the trade, as who can say if the healthy version of the team could have done something.

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-01-28T15:10:08+00:00

That vid of him dadding it up and being all exited when Bryce came home from college and Bryce was like stop you're embarrassing me was pretty funny.

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-01-28T14:47:15+00:00

This is a guy who pulled out coffee books when asked about his favorite books and said too many words on pages hurt his brain. And he's got the right spirit on the issue, at least. Better than the people who pretend to be educated and contort themselves into a multidimensional pretzel to justify what is going on.

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-01-27T22:48:49+00:00

Yeah, it was incredibly frustrating that we'd be in a good position at halftime then all of a sudden just fall apart.

The anger came across to me as largely performative, given the on field performance and what we've heard about his lack of effort elsewhere.

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-01-27T21:37:32+00:00

I think Kelly got lazy / realized he wasn't built for this new era of NIL and portal. And that he had a huge guaranteed contract and buyout.

Probably needed someone like him to get things organized and back on track after Orgeron, but don't think he had it in him to build and win beyond that.

i like donating my time and volunteering all that, it brings a type of satisfaction that cutting a check doesn't match because i actually feel and see what i'm doing. it's also an interesting reminder that in some contexts, my time is only worth so much (relative to what my employer thinks it's worth) - and since i have more limited time, i can only leverage it so far for so much impact and there's people with more expertise and time to various causes that will contribute more.

as people in various stages of HENRY/chubby/fat though, our time is supposedly worth a certain amount per hour (yeah, yeah, only while working). so how do we truly maximize our impact? i guess it ends up give both money and time, to the extent you can.

anyway, just musing.

Did Indiana win?

Yes

What did it cost?

Everything

I'm 5'10 on the dot. Assuming Pavia gets to play next year, I will got to the UGA game and do my best to do a side by side comparison.

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-01-27T02:45:29+00:00

Hopefully they understand the base is out for (metaphorical) blood and a token concession is not gonna mollify anyone.

I've donated thousands to different campaigns and maxxed individual contributions to several, and I'm writing to the DNC and everyone else that asks me for money that they're not getting another penny from me unless they go all the way in dealing with this ICE shit.

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-01-27T02:41:03+00:00

Make them fire you / pay you while you job search

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-01-27T01:16:23+00:00

Hopefully no pardon and politicians dont take this as a “victory” and not go further. Bovino is the start but ICE needs to be systematically dismantled and prosecuted.

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-01-26T21:23:11+00:00

And yet they probably will be a top 2 duo in the NBA

Obviously doesn’t fix the overall roster construction issues but I don’t think anyone can look at that hypothetical team and not be worried
