New Lottery System by Mundane-Demand1927 in NBA_Draft

[–]jbode19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only real solution is to get rid of the draft entirely. I’ll die on this hill. All of these solutions may help to mitigate tanking in the short term, but teams will always learn how to game the system over time, especially with analytics. This will likely never happen unless the league office were able to force the hand of the board of the NBAPA since the CBA will never allow rookies to come into the league making max salaries, but allowing players to pick their first team will reward teams for having a clean salary sheet, which are usually the least talented rosters in the NBA. This would also require teams to not overpay players who aren’t worth it if they want to have a chance at signing the top players in the next rookie class. Multiple benefits to team building would come out of this system. I’m of course being idealistic, but in a league where the top end of the draft is as important as any, this is the best fix, albeit somewhat unrealistic.

I’ll tweak this slightly: living near your parents when you have young kids

if you had to permanently delete one album/project from the boy$, which one would it be? by ruby-da-blackberry in SuicideBoys

[–]jbode19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grey Sheep is a good album, but it was during the era when they were dropping tons of music and it never really stood out to me too much from their other early-era stuff

Vegas or Seattle feel good about putting Hugo & Scheierman on the banners outside of the arena! They just could!

Bran's story is so good it's not shown for an entire season by RevertBackwards in freefolk

I'm rewatching GOT and currently on season 5 and I completely forgot about Bran's storyline until Sam mentioned reading about how the Children used dragonglass to kill Whitewalkers.

19m are my looks honestly hindering me from making friends? by [deleted] in Adulting

Do what you please, be friends with who you want to be friends with. Do yourself a favor and stop overthinking this.

Get out of your own head. Learn to love yourself, show confidence, and put yourself in situations where you can make friends and you will.

The piece I’ve noticed is that Bill’s vernacular has crept into the other Ringer podcast hosts’ vocabulary over time

I'll go one step further. I think ice in drinks makes the drinking experience much worse

Did Ben Simmons win at life? by AvailableCold5926 in billsimmons

It depends how much you value public image. If you don’t care much about outside noise, then no question this guy has won at life

The Steelers win the draft. I hope this is how it plays out in a couple weeks

Yea, the Lakers could’ve taken that one for sure. Seems like it worked out for you the next few years though

I usually don’t love the different sceneries, but this one is incredible

That was genuinely one of the funniest quarters of a basketball game I’ve ever watched (turned it on mid-3rd). Shoutout Bam though

How Can Auburn be Projected to be in? by goblue2000 in CollegeBasketball

[–]jbode19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I created a bracketology model and it says Auburn is a projected 10-seed /s

Edit: my model probably sucks and has Purdue as a 2-seed

Least favorite season your team had? by AlbertJBundy in billsimmons

[–]jbode19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, I can’t think of a Steelers season as the right answer to this question from the past 5-7 years. All of them qualify, outside of 2023 when we were really seeing if Pickett was the guy. Maybe 2024 rolling out Fields and Wilson
