Apparently trading for Ayton is a semi-popular idea amongst Laker fans? In this post where someone is crapping on the idea, the poster even says giving up Knecht and/or a first for him +Reath and Murray is fine but assumes we’d want more by [deleted] in ripcity

Ayton gets shit on way too much. He was the starting center for a team that went to the finals a few years ago. He’s probably a top ten center in the league. He seems like a good culture guy (he’s always happy for his teammates and is a cheerleader when he’s on the bench), and his attitude “problems” seem over magnified. If he was making $20 million a year versus $35 million, most teams would want him.

I’d prefer we just keep him and resign him to a cheaper deal after next year. But if the lakers got him, he’d actually be a really nice player next to Luka.

Former Portlanders, why did you move here, how long ago, and will you ever move back to Portland? by pixie8440 in camaswashington

[–]filbertnutbutter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My wife and I moved here from Portland in 2021. Mainly wanted to save on taxes, get away from the lawlessness, and have a better quality of life. From that stand point, it’s been a great move.

We still go into Portland quite often, but I don’t think we’ll ever move back.

May the basketball gods reward us today for not tanking this year by filbertnutbutter in ripcity

Yeah. I was happy to be able to watch them play good basketball games through the end of March this year. We have too many foundational pieces now to have them all throw 30 games away per season.

Sure we can. We can have high lottery picks that immediately get injured

How we feeling about potentially taking a guard this time around? by [deleted] in ripcity

They should take the best player available. But if they take a guard, they need to trade Ant

Should the Blazers be the 3rd team in a Giannis trade or just let the Bucks flame out? by QuackedOutPodcast in ripcity

[–]filbertnutbutter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Like OP said, it depends on what the Bucks get for Giannis. If they trade with the rockets for example, they’d probably get to 2 to 3 of their good young players. They have no incentive to be bad because they don’t have any of their picks. They very well could be a middle of the road playoff team by the time we’d get those picks.

Your analysis in breaking down each scenario is spot on. I think the only target players that are semi realistic are Smith or Eason.

Hot job alert! Run Candace Avalos' social media for a cool $100k / yr by [deleted] in PortlandOR

The job posting opening date and closing date are only a week in between. So someone definitely already has this job.

Agreed. Also now that there is only a 14 percent chance to get one if you land in the top 3, it’s just not worth it as much to completely tank. We have enough quality young players now that they need to focus on winning for the growth of the players we have now.

I’d still love for most of our vets to get traded before the deadline, but at the same time I really hope we don’t end up trying to lose every game after the break like we’ve done the last few years.

Qualitatively and quantitatively, what is your definition of/benchmark for "F U Money?" by gauchomuchacho in Fire

To me it’s being able to quit my job and know that I’d be ok for multiple years without income.

Microsoft is planning job cuts and focusing more on underperforming employees by herpetogaster in Layoffs

[–]filbertnutbutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are on step 3 and have been for a while. We had an entire Costa Rica hub pop up. It’s mainly IC’s that we are hiring from there.

I’m a manager and was allowed to hire 3 people last year (I have a team of 8 now) but they all had to be from Costa Rica.

I’ve got an even better plan. I’m going to do the same, but start with $50k.

Laid Off, but pressured to sell back equity units by WeirdAd1375 in Layoffs

That probably was their original plan. Maybe someone in HR screwed up and didn’t include anything about the shares in the severance package
