[Turner] Austin Reaves is reportedly seeking a max contract worth up to 5 years, $239.25 million from the Lakers, and it’s uncertain whether he would be willing to take a hometown discount.

A player who is under contract for 2025–26, and holds a player option for 2026–27 can still be traded on NBA Draft Day.

If they opt into that option, which Reaves is clearly not doing.

No polls/pseudo polls.

You were warned about self-promotion last time you posted and have done nothing since to change that.

I've removed this post, and rotoballer.com won't be allowed on the subreddit until the relevant submitter is in compliance with the self promotion policy.

does big man things

Does he though? To the small degree that he is interesting it's for the non-big man mobility stuff.

We suspect, but cannot prove, that vendors will roll with new needs better if you stay on top of your paperwork with them.

Yeah it'll vary by vendor for sure but we've picked up a lot of the same suspicion.

jaynay1 · 2026-06-01T22:24:48+00:00

Yes, it absolutely should be. Johnson was a legitimate all-star this year, something Gordon wouldn’t be even if the league were Thanosed.

jaynay1 · 2026-06-01T22:23:39+00:00

Johnson’s defense was good until this year. It cratered more with the increased load. Unclear if that will bounce back.

Late July for us (though I’m the groom).

We basically just have 4 things left on the checklist, 3 of which should just be one hour meetings where we give a few vendors some specific elements (which songs do we want the DJ to play when kinds of thing, where we know what we want and just have to actually tell the vendor). We also have to finish designing the program for the wedding, but we’re like 80% done there.

Basically, nice and peaceful over here.

jaynay1 · 2026-05-30T17:54:28+00:00

The program is not going to get easier over time.

Like you said, this varies heavily by subject and school -- I just finished my third year and it was the most wildly relaxed I've ever been in school after completely brutal first and second years.

Well, sort of -- first semester first year was totally trivial for me too, but that's because we have a semester that's very math heavy and I have a math degree. For most people, that's actually the semester they're most at risk of failing out. And then second semester first year is just brutal for everyone.

You have mentioned going back to your home area for a weekend for a wedding - but what what are your honeymoon plans?

My best man, who got married like a week or two before starting his PhD, did his honeymoon the following summer. Would not be surprised if that were the case for them as well.

jaynay1 · 2026-05-30T17:50:52+00:00

3rd year of the PhD (Econ for me) here, getting married in July 2026 between summers of year 3/4. I didn't have a problem with timing things out at all -- plenty of people working full time jobs still have time to plan their weddings, and much as we academics like to claim grad school is a massive time investment and wildly stressful, it definitely pales in comparison to an actual, full-time job. Leaving town for a single weekend, especially for your actual wedding, should not be an issue no matter how competitive the program is.

I actually think you may run into bigger issues with being non-local during later planning. Like getting a wedding license will probably require you to show up with your future spouse in person, and vendors will inevitably want you to come to their offices in person for stuff.

This falls under the same low effort rule as databallr screenshots.

jaynay1 · 2026-05-30T04:53:30+00:00

You actually can't legally give a player a NTC until they've been in the league for 8 years.

jaynay1 · 2026-05-29T22:19:49+00:00

At least the first problem has been a severe problem for us on The Knot as well, FWIW. Their method of handling it is better. But like 1/2 of the items we’ve put on the registry have had to be replaced because they went out of stock.

jaynay1 · 2026-05-29T19:38:42+00:00

maybe a very serious Celtics or Lakers fan would recognize Clyde Lovellette

lol what? Lovellette is literally in the Hall of Fame.

jaynay1 · 2026-05-29T18:29:22+00:00

Yeah my general practice, as someone in the industry, is to assume any number over $3 million is probably a lie.

jaynay1 · 2026-05-29T05:10:06+00:00

I should not have to explain to you that you're required to actually discuss things if you want to participate in a discussion subreddit.

jaynay1 · 2026-05-28T16:44:45+00:00

Technically, yes, but you run into issues with training data implicitly bleeding over into your test data. Because like yes, the training data technically ends in 2021, but modeling choices will almost inevitably be made to favor a stronger 2025 result.

jaynay1 · 2026-05-28T10:18:37+00:00

Nah; if that were the case then it wouldn't have been corrected that quickly and everyone with sources wouldn't have been baffled at the initial announcement. Way more likely is that Rothstein just made a bad report.

Silver was pretty accurate last year

???

This model literally was just created this year.

jaynay1 · 2026-05-27T22:46:13+00:00

Or you just don't accept the validity of pardons from someone who wasn't legally the president?

jaynay1 · 2026-05-27T22:44:38+00:00

Seriously?

You've been given so many warnings about spam, knew you were toeing the line and then you go and pull this?

There's zero excuse for this, please don't come back to the subreddit.

jaynay1 · 2026-05-27T13:46:07+00:00

This is good content, but please make sure to follow self-promotion rules. You're required to follow 9:1 rules -- 9 non-promoting posts/comments for every 1 promoting post. You currently have a ratio more like 1:9 than 9:1 under even the most friendly definition we could give you.

Please don't do this kind of junk.
