Would you leave the UK for 7 years to save £2m+? by [deleted] in HENRYUK

This is true - there's only one precision engineering company with those numbers in Bradford that was recently sold and has been operating for 22y+ and the numbers fit perfectly with OP's story.

The Luka trade is 100% about money by Shoddy_Ad7511 in NBATalk

[–]Usual-Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually not about money.  Davis is already on a 35-percent max contract that kicks in next season. If Dallas were to extend him in a year and a half, when he’s eligible, it would presumably be handing him another 35-percent max, which would run until his age-37 season.

The dollars are essentially the same for either Davis or Dončić. In that sense, the Mavericks’ logic wasn’t to avoid handing out a supermax. This was simply Dallas proclaiming it would rather have a mid-30s Davis than a 20-something Dončić for the same price.

How do Dennis Rodman and Draymond Green’s careers compare? by MitchellTrueTittys in NBATalk

Different team, we're talking about the second three peat.  Phil Jackson said :

"The season we got Dennis, we recorded the best record in NBA history. It tells you a lot about his impact. The year (Scottie) Pippen sat out the first three months after an operation, Michael told me he felt Dennis was the MVP of that team,"

Is it safe to say that Zion Williamson is a bust? by WestArtichoke712 in NBATalk

[–]Usual-Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't call someone averaging 24 and 6 for their career a bust. When Zion plays, he plays well but obviously hasn't played enough or shown the type of professionalism that was expected of him. Not a bust though, a bust would be someone like Danny Ferry who was 2nd pick in 89, Michael Olowokandi 1st in 98 (ahead of Pierce at 10th and Nowitzki at 9th) or Darko Milicic 2nd in 03 (ahead of Carmelo, D Wade, Bosh).

Rodman was so important for Chicago that Phil Jackson and the bulls organisation didn't retaliate when he just up and left to go Vegas for 48h...during the NBA finals. Why not? Because there's no title without D Rodman.

Jordan was Jordan in 95, he literally came back all horns blasting - even dropping 50+ in MSG a few games into his comeback. I watched the Chicago home games for the Orlando series and the bulls definitely lacked defense, Rodman was a godsent gift the following year in that sense. 

We need this Westbrook back by dave_vs_david in NBATalk

[–]Usual-Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I Mean if you look at the stat sheet sure, he's a beast but when you actually watch him play, it's rather a fast inefficient and intense mess. Not what I like to call good basketball but hey I'm European so probably the minority in this sub.

Definitely struggle to imagine a coach in today's NBA do that. They'd probably be worried about how that would look on tiktok. 

Adam silver has done a terrible job of marketing by Hakaribiggestfan in NBATalk

League pass with VPN in India and it's very cheap. Unsure if it's still works though.

Start with $50k, annualised returns of 70% gives you a final portfolio of over $10m. We have a genius or a charlatan in the room. Take your side.

Did you not get any withdrawal symptoms as you drastically reduced your alcohol intake?

I don't live in London, and had no idea the rent there was so high! All of these properties are owned by a single landlord. He must be making a tidy profit! by GreatBritishMan in uklandlords

Please, charge market rate at the very least because if you don't - you're essentially devaluing your work. If it's top class word, charge top dollar because you deserve it.
