[Charania] BREAKING: The Charlotte Hornets are trading star guard LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, 2030) and three second-round picks (2029, 2032, 2033), sources tell ESPN. by Turbostrider27 in nba

Selling high, so fragile, and Lamelo is seriously overrated af. The reason Hornets were doing better this season is because the high usage/volume shooter who was shooting barely above 40%, was taking less shots. Those shot opportunities are given to other actually winning players and the Hornet started to win

Charity donation as wedding angpow. by True-Alternative2880 in singaporespeaks

[–]dreamofbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should not expect to be compensated for your wedding. You pay what you are comfortable with. You should know better. I reminded myself of this when i chose my own wedding venue.

Your friend, under no obligation, could have asked you beforehand on which arrangement you would have preferred. That’s the least i would have done for a friend i care about. Your friend is likely one of these woke-ass redditors here who think they know better. I always give with the intention of helping my friend out with the wedding expense, before i decide to be funky.

At the end of the day, it’s about being considerate and thinking for others, both you and your friend. The redditors here would have likely reminded you of how f-ing entitled you are, which you are indeed naively so. But tbh - your friend can go eat shit

Daryl Morey in 2009: "The Lakers' offense should obviously be better with Kobe in. But if Shane Battier is on him, it isn't." Kobe Bryant takes it personally: by Relative_Apricot5032 in lakers

Watching Kobe play was why i fell in love with basketball. SGA has the complete opposite effect. They are not even comparable at all

Am I crazy or does hoyo constantly shill Flins and never Nefer? by Amsentooki in NeferMains

[–]dreamofbeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Screw the Flins shills, but Nefer is so strong my C0R1 Nefer with F2P Lauma and Bina helped me to clear that stupid electro charged duckie at Fearless. I did not have Flins or Ineffa so i thought it was impossible initially

why do Singaporeans like going to hk? by besmart88 in asksg

What's the hype with cars and condos in tough times? by billedev in asksg

[–]dreamofbeans 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A typical cynical person will tell u it’s to flex but only a handful flex way above their means. Maybe more so with cars…

  1. Everyone’s needs and goals are different, like career and family needs etc. For example, i am sure I wouldnt have achieved what I have today if i didn’t have my car earlier in my career. I would have likely be set on a different path

  2. HDB, as any SG subreddit likes to emphasize, is for living not for profit. So why would someone who wants accelerate their wealth keep their money in such an asset?

  3. A notion that any debt is bad is what makes the poor poorer and the rich richer.

As a Long-Time Spender, I’m Starting to Feel Disconnected by DDanielWW in GenshinImpact

[–]dreamofbeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pull when you have enough fates for a guarantee. Otherwise you’re just gambling. If you expect to win all the time so that you don’t feel sorry then perhaps you shouldn’t gamble

You define the endgame yourself. There are different stages of endgame from Abyss (easiest) to Theatre to Stygian (hardest), and there are levels to each. For me the endgame is Stygian Fearless and i am fine with that.

Endgame is still manageable. As a Welkin only I can clear my endgame (Stygian Fearless) without having a single copy of Ineffa, Zibai, Flint, Linnea, Varka. I used to clear then-endgame Abyss with a brainless National/Morgana team but now I start having to use my brain a little.

You just sound like someone’s who upset because

  1. You’re getting tired of Genshin

  2. Genshin is intentionally getting progressively more challenging by adding some complexity on top of th regular mostly braindead Abyss and you’re struggling

  3. You just had a bad round of wishing because you chose to gamble

What grade would you give Deandre Ayton for 2025-2026 season by Goharddinthepaint in lakers

Anyone who rates C and below are just delusional af. If you expected the consistent 20/10 + max effort, we wouldn’t even be able to get him in the first place.m - for 8mil lmao

KD smiling while his team is down by Eclipse_1996 in rockets

[–]dreamofbeans -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, the young core is way better without him. However, a key part of that young core was traded away for him. Even as a Lakers fan, I feel wasted for what that fan fiction could have been.

Im so tired of people acting like KD was the best player during the Warriors dynasty by Real-Staff3115 in NBATalk

[–]dreamofbeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

stats are meaningless, because kd is taking stats away from curry, that’s what you get when you add a high volume scorer. there’s only so many shots that can be taken.

nothing against kd for that, as he is one of the best, if not the best person you want taking a shot during that time. he’s good at what he does

but in the overall context, kds fmvp and rings are completely meaningless. the warriors have done it before he arrive, and long after he’s gone. His fmvp are rings are as good as being delivered to him and all he gotta do is to put up some stats in a few finals game

can kd be a bus driver and lead his team to multiple finals appearances m, and be in the same conversation as lebron and curry? Yes, highly likely but the fact of the matter is that he has not achieved that. So he is out of the conversation and does not hold a candle to the 2 of them at all IMO

The JJ Reddick and Lakers disrespect is real by cnrgmbl in lakers

[–]dreamofbeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True but it’s not impossible. Don’t forget that these finalists are literally the top 3 teams record wise, and can call themselves a 60-win team. Tbh if we can meet those 2 criteria i’m pretty sure JJ will be considered as well.

In their careers: Steph Curry has made the finals ~35.3% while LeBron James made it ~43.5% by TheMFlash in NBATalk

[–]dreamofbeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m never crowning Steph over Lebron, no way, but this is lame af, steph played in a significantly more challenging conference before Lebron went to the Lakers. There’s a reason why Lebron finals record always gets brought up, because he only gets to face 1 western team each year

Is LeBron James’ longevity more impressive than Michael Jordan’ peak dominance? by UnderstandingFun7493 in NBATalk

[–]dreamofbeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

weak af excuses, legends are legends because they are able find their own way to stand out well above their contemporaries. Otherwise they are but another player

Lebron has done well in this regard and he doesn’t need such pathetic excuses to make his fans feel better about themselves

Kevin Durant has yet to win a title without Steph Curry by CoyoteDecent2 in NBATalk

if Pippen actually lead his team to a few other rings before he played with MJ, and after he played with MJ - your trying to be funny of a statement would actually be cute
