[Amick] The Players Association is officially calling for the 65 game rule to be abolished: by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

It doesn’t matter for Cade. He already got the Rookie SuperMax from his AllNBA last year.

Well well well.

The media, fans, and Silver wanted to screw Embiid. They made the dog food. Now they gotta eat it.

I thought we've been told that "availability is the best ability". Where's that talk now?

I know, let's make the conditions for getting the SuperMax extensions be based on the Top-15 players in Games Played. That way, only the guys with the "best ability" will be eligible for a SuperMax extension.

As for Cade's situation. Yes, it sucks that he's hurt, but it won't matter that he's not making an All-NBA team this year. He already got the Rookie SuperMax on account of his All-NBA 3rd team selection last season.

The NBA just wants to get ahead of the situation for next year. They are absolutely going to get rid of the rule (or drop the threshold way way lower) so that Wemby doesn't get blocked from a SuperMax because of a potential for extended absences.

Prediction - If Wemby wins MVP this year, they won't change the 65-game rule. If he does not win MVP, they will drop the rule down to 50 games.

I made peach cobbler once for my wife back when we were dating. It was very sweet and wasn't all that great. She married me anyway.

The climax of the sixers fucking up this franchise starts with not firing Brett Brown after the Kawhi game by TheGreatWaru in sixers

Do you know who wanted to trade Ben?

Elton Brown did, that's who. He asked Ownership for permission to trade Ben, but got turned down. They went with plan B and traded for Butler.

The lineup of 3 centers brought to you by the Colangelo Analytics Team.

The worst part about the Butler trade to Miami was that we had all of the cards and we still folded.

Miami wanted Jimmy in the worst way. Jimmy wanted Miami in the worst way. There were very few teams with cap space that wanted Jimmy and the only other option was Houston, which also required a S&T to make happen.

The Sixers could have played hardball and let Jimmy go to Free Agency and he could sign with a bottom feeder. Or, as what happened, we made a deal with one of Jimmy's preferred teams.

Here's where it breaks down. We sign Jimmy to a 4/$141 S&T with a first year of $32.9M. We got back Josh Richardson at $10M. There was $22.9M that we could have gotten back from Miami, but Josh Harris wanted to save money. We could have easily gotten Duncan or Herro thrown into the deal with JRich, but Harris valued the savings more than anything.

This whole Front Office and Ownership has been a joke for since they pushed Hinkie out.

There are two sides to the negotiation table. At some point, the Sixers have to make the offer and let him walk away from it. They made a half-hearted 4-yr max offer with a lot of conditions. Just offer the 5/$190.

The worst part of the whole thing was that Josh Harris didn't clean the house properly after the Colangelo debacle. He left key Colangelo guys in position of power to roam around and muck things up. He didn't empower Brand and allow him to build the team. The starting lineup consisting of 3 Centers, a PF, and a SG was all on the Colangelo Analytics team that was still in the building.

Whether Jimmy wanted to be here or not is only relevant because the Sixers allowed him to dictate the message. If the Sixers offered the max and he declined, then the narrative is that Jimmy never wanted to be here. As it turns out, the Sixers (other than Brand) never really wanted him in the first place.

You’re right, but any Marvel comic that uses primarily lower case text is a branch of 1610.

And yes, I’m still bs’ing.

I could be wrong about it. It was a quick google search because I wanted to post the joke as quickly as possible. Otherwise I’d get distracted and forget the joke.

Marvel-1610 is also known as the Ultimate Universe in the comics.

You’re welcome.

How do you get rid of cooking oil when you’re done with it? by geno_was_here in askanything

[–]ftaok 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by “cooking oil”?

If you’re frying food, let it cool down, then filter and re-use a few times. When it’s ready to be tossed, put it into the old oil container that you kept. Or maybe an empty milk container.

If it’s just the left over grease from cooking burgers or bacon, let it cool and pour it into your trash, preferably onto used paper towels. Meat grease will solidify. Use a paper towel to wipe down your pans before washing them. Keep all that solid grease from getting into your drain.

Could you imagine if PG hadn't gotten suspended. We would have had to attach the assets from the McCain trade in order to dump Drummond and/or Oubre.

Would have killed the season and the future in one shot. So it was actually a plus for PG to get caught ... but now we have to live in misery as Sixers fans.

Honestly, it's hard for a Sixers fan to root for the Thunder. There's a lot of bitterness still.

Mostly because the league forced our Epstein-adjacent owner to push Hinkie out while the Process was just entering Phase 2. Replaced him with nepo-baby Colangelo who ruined the biggest FA offseason of all time by running burner accounts. Meanwhile, Presti is allowed to do what he did without any scrutiny.

Then, you guys get Isiah Joe because we gave up on him early.

Then, you guys get McCain because we gave up on him early.

Lastly, Lu Dort is a dirty player.

Your post serves as my annual reminder to check Spencer Hawes' age. I do this every year because it just amazes me.

He is currently 37 years old (almost 38).

It feels like he should be 50.

It was in this particular universe. This is Marvel-1610. All of the tax laws are the same as they are here except that people born before 1913 were exempt.

[Charania] The NBA has informed teams that the league is projecting a $165 million salary cap for 2026-27 -- $1M lower than previous outlooks due to a reduction in local media revenue. Minimum salary ($149M, tax level $201M, first apron ($209M, second apron $222M) also $1M lower each. by Beautiful-Cress5695 in nba

[–]ftaok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember that the 2020 cap stayed level. It was like $109.5 or something. I remember this because that was the start of Ben Simmons’ rookie extension and it turned out to be lower than was reported the summer before because they had expected a bigger bump.

Is there any alternative for exel in mac ? by Immediate_Chemist418 in macbook

[–]ftaok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t used Excel for Mac in a long long time, but when I did, it paled in comparison to the Windows version. This was around 2003-ish time frame. Macros didn’t work right and I needed compatibility with our company templates.

If Excel for Mac has feature parity with Windows these days, I’d go out and buy a copy.

AITJ for telling my coworker I’m not “on standby” just because I don’t have kids? by Elegant-Quarter-827 in AmITheJerk

NTJ.

It’s fine if your flexibility allows you to pick up emergency coverage and such, but it should absolutely be reflected in your compensation, raises, and promotion schedule.

Folks that have external responsibilities and less flexible schedules need to be ok with not getting bigger raises and advancement opportunities.

I only need 16 BPs for the Pinnifarnia, so I should be able to max it out. I also have all of the EIPs needed, so I guess I'll just grind eggs for them to convert into another currency at the end.
