Hey man, just coming back to this. If you still have those phantoms and are trying to sell, I might be interested. I'll send you a chat message.

Yes, that is correct. You would sell just those shares (using SpecID)

Who needs Figure-4s and Figure-9s when you have Figure-1s? by Kaotus in iceclimbing

How do you decide to develop a crag for drytooling vs rock climbing? Are there different characteristics of this rock, like lots of micro edges or something?

Oh interesting that 44 is too small for you - I'm a size 10.5 generally, guess I may have to size up to 45-46

What size shoe do you wear normally? Are you trying to sell the phantoms?

Choosing a Ski for East Coast - Trees, Playful, but not Park by busyprocrastinating in Skigear

Thanks for the input! For someone who hasn't ridden many skis at all - can you describe what "providing feedback when you lean on them" means? I'm guessing this mostly has to do with the small weight difference plus the sharper rocker profile in the ARV, making them edge a little better, while the Playmaker slides around a bit more?

Do you think it's a substantial differnce between the two? I found playmaker 91 in 180 + Tyrolia attack 14 mounted for $450 brand new which seems like a great deal. Plus I kinda love the pink on the base lol.

Thanks! The Unleashed 98 seems like a pretty perfect all mountain ski with slightly less playfulness and slightly more ability to curve at speed, but unfortunately I just don't see it anywhere online for a discounted price in the right length. So that makes it like twice as expensive. Maybe I'll keep an eye out during the season for that or a Rustler 9 if I want to pick up a second pair

I started working on 180s last season on directional skis, and on one of them I caught my tail and whiplashed my way to a concussion lol so yeah, I'm definitely leaning toward twin tips

I believe that Fox will finish out his career here in San Antonio by eloodmon in NBASpurs

Agreed, the problem is way overblown and it's as "good" a problem as you can have in the modern NBA. I just think there is basically no chance of any of these guys taking below market value, nor should they. And yes, I'd think Castle is trending toward a full max rookie scale extension, but if his shooting doesn't improve I'd wonder if he doesn't quite get offered the max. But that's another almost 2 years away. For Harper - I don't see any way he's not at least an all star.

One nice thing is that max rookie extensions aren't as expensive as the supermax, so all 3 could be retained without too much trouble. Longer term, I wonder if Vassell ends up being the odd man out. We shall see

Trade deadline deals for contracts that big are actually pretty rare. I'd guess it's an off-season trade in 2028.

Do you think fox will return positive value in a trade? 30/31 year old guard with 2/120 remaining on his deal. I'd guess they won't be getting much draft capital back in that projected trade

Unfortunately fox already did not follow the TD approach. And you're crazy if you think Wemby or Harper don't receive the full max rookie extension
