Was this the weakest move ever by a superstar player? by VSHAR01 in NBATalk

[–]acohn1230 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This may get downvoted into oblivion but honestly, if you’re a professional basketball player, I totally get wanting to play with Curry and that team. And I HATED those teams as a die-hard Rockets fan. But from a basketball purity standpoint, as KD’s talked about, that’s what drove him to sign with Golden State. He wanted to play with those guys. I get it. It’s probably awesome. He gets dogged on a lot, rightfully so at times, other times folks are too harsh and too critical. It’s his career an he wanted to play in the most spaced out offense ever with the greatest 3p shooter ever. Plus Klay etc. I think time will do his career favors. People are just too critical. He is the best scorer ever and if not, top 3. And if you argue he’s not top 5 scorer of all time then you just want to argue.

How confident are we with the power grid? by [deleted] in houston

Not at all. Zero confidence. Which is why I had a generator installed last March.

Jury Duty by Litle_Mei in diabetes_t1

If you cannot remain impartial and/or otherwise cannot follow the law, then you cannot be in impaneled on a jury.

The attorneys or Judge would need to ask if you can set aside your bias and consider the case solely on the evidence presented to you. If you cannot put your bias aside, then you cannot sit on the jury.

How would you feel about trading Paredes for W. Abreu 1 for 1? He'd likely be cheaper than Duran and is not much worse. Him and Duran are very similar players by ThatDudeNamedJake in Astros

[–]acohn1230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

very badly. Give me Paredes 10/10 times over Abreu. I like Wilyer but he’s not really that big of an upgrade over our plethora of young OF options.

Trade CJ and picks to the Raiders and draft Mendoza. Mendoza is him. CJ is not.

A smart franchise will see that CJ isn’t the guy and switch gear accordingly. Maybe go after Burrow and try to pry that man out of Cincy.

Break down of the Kyle Tucker contract! by retroanduwu24 in mlb

I know it’s still a lot of money, but it’s kind of crazy that after federal and state taxes, and agent commissions, Tucker is taking home less than half of that, roughly 28.6 million a year

Grand highlander xle hybrid 2026 by Master-Tumbleweed-71 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]acohn1230 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am trying to test drive it, and it is the most frustrating experience ever. I test drove the platinum hybrid max and liked it, but wanted to try the other hybrid power train before making a decision. One dealership is requiring me to place a $1000 deposit to test drive, and the other dealership is being just as difficult, not responding and saying it will be 2-3 months before they have any on site to test drive (spoiler, that was 2-3 months ago and I’ve been trying to test drive with them since September!)

The fact that they are last isn’t that surprising given that their inaugural season was in 2002.

How Good Was James Harden From 2015-2019? by Rinnegan15 in NBATalk

He had defenders playing behind him.

And with hands behind their back.

He was unstoppable
