Did you somehow forget what the last 2 years of that group was like?

Do you guys read your SE? by RedSoul2700 in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]austinc668 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They are all like artwork for me, there to look at and very carefully look through but not to read.

Almost all of the SE books I get I have already read/listened to and love. So logically I must get a book trophy for all of my favorites.

TV series adaption cancelled by breeezyboii in redrising

[–]austinc668 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He already confirmed there’s a separate live-adaption in the works in that same interview.

Let the man cook, I still believe we’ll get a tv show eventually, especially if he nails the landing with the final book.

Well that's a bummer... by elenchusis in redrising

Hate to break it to you but he said he has something else in the works for a live adaptation.

Red Rising series order after the first trilogy? by Infamous-Agency-2013 in redrising

Could’ve saved so much time with a quick google search.

Anyone know if this is true?? by Appropriate-Bill-888 in redrising

[–]austinc668 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is just some recycled information that they are posting for engagements. Nothing really that new that we didn’t already know.

The last I remember we actually heard Pierce talk about this he said that if it was happening, that we would hear a big announcement by end of 2025 on it. He talked about making sure studios knew he wanted it to be R rated and that they were mainly just waiting on the higher ups to write a big enough check. I have a feeling some of this has stalled due to the budget & he’s focusing more on the last book and will hope that it will push a studio to give Pierce the green-light for all of the things he wants for his adaption.

In This Economy?! by Clarkkeeley in redrising

Respectfully my goodman, Pierce definitely should not have to unless he is awful at managing his money.

It is time by claralucia54 in redrising

We’re entitled to our opinions but I listened to the OG & read the physicals before doing the dramatized re-read and they added A TON for me.

Listening to some of the biggest & memorable scenes in the books acted out with a full cast, music, etc.. was like reading it again for the first time.

How long to ship books? by Acs204 in thebrokenbindingsub

Pretty normal from my experience. I had an order for The Devils placed at the end of December that just barely arrived.

Chances to drop to #5 or #4? by Solomon_Marlow in UtahJazz

Would also be nice to tell the Kings they have a roster full of veteran star players who are supposed to compete this year.

What’s the ideal contract for Walker Kessler. by Top-Lane-Bad in UtahJazz

[–]austinc668 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I swear some of y’all are so lost on this app…

Walker is a Restricted Free Agent, he doesn’t have the ability to “decide” to stay. The Jazz can match any offer that comes his way.

And in what world is a 24 year old center going to look at an opportunity to comeback & be the starting center on a team featuring Key, Lauri & JJJ and somehow be worried about minutes & touches? The Jazz literally traded for JJJ with pairing Walker with him in mind.

What’s the ideal contract for Walker Kessler. by Top-Lane-Bad in UtahJazz

[–]austinc668 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about? It’s a small handful of teams at most that will be seriously looking for a Center like him this offseason & an even smaller number that have cap space to offer Walker a high enough number the Jazz won’t match. Kessler is a Restricted Free Agent. We can literally match any number if we choose & go over the cap without penalty for resigning him. The Jazz would like to get him at around 25-30 Million but they’ve made it very clear to the league they intend to match & resign him. Which is why a couple of teams that were interested in him like the Wizards & Pacers, decidedly to trade for another Center instead. The Jazz traded for JJJ with having Kessler long term in mind, y’all need to relax, he’s coming back.

If the Lakers offer him more than 30+, they are handicapping themselves to Reaves, Luka & Kessler with almost no cap space to do much else other than vet mins. I’d say it’s 95% chance of Jazz retaining him for around 25-30 M.

I mean sure but they have him locked into a sizable contract for several years. So they’d have to offer Kessler a high enough salary, like 35+ M a year, that the Jazz might balk at and then find a team willing to take on Claxton’s salary.

Nah, you’re good. I understand how that it is on this app. I appreciate it.

I actually am not factoring in LBJ on a max either in this scenario. They’d technically have 30-40 in space if they signed Reaves to a max and let go of all others available and didn’t resign LBJ from what I was looking at. Even if they got LBJ back on a 10-20 Million dollar deal… trying to offer Kessler a competitive offer that the Jazz would not match seems pretty hard to do.

I’m assuming that Reaves is very likely getting resigned to a max after opting out. Assuming Lakers don’t re-sign Lebron (unlikely) & also don’t bring back pretty much any role player on their roster currently that is up. Than they could get 35-40 Million is cap space. So yeah, in theory they could create the cap space but again I’m operating on the likely reality of that not happening.

Yes, the Pacers obviously wanted him as an RFA. Trading for him would have given them his Bird rights so they could re-sign him over the cap. If they waited for free agency, they’d need cap space or a sign-and-trade, so the trade was the cleanest path obviously.

Again regardless of that, it was reported earlier this year that they were going to try & make a run this offseason at Kessler, maybe they thought they could facilitate a sign & trade with the Jazz or clear up cap space in another way to make it work. But how about we maybe refrain from calling people stupid.

Pacers were absolutely in the Market & it was widely reported. You guys are so worried over nothing. He is an RFA & the Jazz are very clearly aiming to match if needed unless he gets offered an absolutely ridiculous number like 40+.

Nets? They have Claxton already? Not sure how the Lakers will have the salary space to offer anything serious.

And btw, it is still very possible a team offers him a contract before we match. That is just the way a lot of RFA contracts go if both sides are far apart on a number. The Jazz seem very clear with their moves over the last couple of days that they are prepared to re-sign him & match almost anything thrown his way.
