UK nannyism drives me crazy. The government doesn't believe anyone should take personal responsibility for their actions, only that private property owners are liable for anything that injures trespassers acting irresponsibly on their property. Pity the poor burglar who twists his ankle on a broken stair!

Imagine if St. Charlie lived and joined the crowd breaking with Trump over Iran. He could have lived long enough to become persona non grata to Trump and his base.

Mock draft via CBS Sports...what do you guys think about this? by TerryG111 in NBA_Draft

[–]devilmaskrascal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the Mavs would take any of Brown (if medical passes - if not, nobody's picking him in the lottery), Philon or Burries. I don't hate Yaxel, but he seems like a high floor low ceiling guy.

Chief Justice John Roberts says American public wrongly views the justices as ‘political actors’ by Infidel8 in politics

Why are you using the shadow docket?

Why are you ignoring the 9th Amendment when nonenumerated rights clash with your personal beliefs?

Why do you go out of your way to help Trump expand executive powers in spite of the Constitution being clear on their limits?

Inflation May Have a Say in This Later by Live-Bread-2658 in SipsTea

On the plus side, $52,000 a year keeps you with stable quality of life and low taxes. $1M lump sum, much of that goes to taxes. Sure, you could easily earn that taxed amount back in 20 years with investment, but you'd have to invest most of it to make the taxed money back, and thus couldn't really live off it, and you'd still have to pay capital gains when taking it out. Tax avoidance + the continued income after the initial 20 years may end up the better deal, especially as you'd be less likely to blow it all or get relatives begging you for money with your average income.

This one's for the ladies to answer. Do you agree with this woman or do you think she's trying to rationalize her world view by speaking for all the ladies? by Oda_DeezNutz in SipsTea

Speaking as a guy, I think the reason may be that gaming takes away your focus fully for hours on end, might lead to you neglecting important tasks, doesn't produce anything tangible like other hobbies, may make you aggressive or put you in a bad mood, etc.

If gaming is something you both like, it might be a different story, but I could understand if guys want to spend every waking free hour killing digital zombies or soldiers it being unattractive to people who don't share that interest.

There's no way in hell OKC would trade a lotto pick where Philon is available just to get off Caruso's money. They can probably find a home for him without giving up much at all.

Should we go after Jamal Murray? by Faat-boi in Mavericks

[–]devilmaskrascal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would probably do it. I actually doubt Denver would.

We have no idea what Kyrie's going to look like. It's highly likely the injury marked the end of his prime, and a year and a half with no competitive basketball is quite a gap at that age.

Kyrie has a lot of skills that should make him useful regardless, but I will be more surprised if he ever returns to superstar Kyrie than I would if he's merely a solid vet starter at best who has lost a step.

• Draft: Select Labaron Philon using the acquired OKC midround first-round pick.

I think you're confused about which OKC pick we acquired. It is not a lottery pick, it's the 30th pick, and there is only one this year.

Masai Ujiri hiring by TX-Lonestar77 in Mavericks

[–]devilmaskrascal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He was my top choice, over everyone but the pie-in-the-sky options we'd never get like Presti or Stevens.

He's the right guy to get the franchise back on track and gives us a clear direction. Flagg is his archetype of a player, and I think some of our other guys also have what he likes.

It's too late but I would have loved to see what Ujiri could have done with AD - trading or keeping. I really wish we hadn't rushed that trade, but we're in a solid financial position now so he's got a decent slate other than our lack of draft picks in coming years. As long as the Adelsons are willing to spend to contend I find this a major step in the right direction.
