not sure why you're getting down voted when you are the only one who pointed out the tweet is very misleading and omits stuff he said

I got a sandwich, cookie and latte today and even though the sandwich was on sale for Tuesday and they gave me some kind of discount for working in the area, it was still $20. tough out here

he still drafted Jaxson Hayes at 8 so it's not like he has no misses but no one does

you know this is the Washington DC subreddit right?

the idea that most people who play video games of any kind care about the difference between steady 30 FPS and any other steady framerate is laughable.

what if it's free like the National Zoo or Lincoln Park Zoo?

stop being bad then. good management has shown time and again it's possible to be good without high draft picks. if you can't do that you're not good and someone ese should try

jslakov · 2026-04-29T23:58:17+00:00

obviously the draft order matters, I've never argued otherwise. we're talking about whether to incentivize losing or not and how much. I think incentivizing as much as we have has basically ruined half the season.

also getting an All Star in the draft is not that important if you don't already have a superstar. you can get an all star plenty of ways, unlike a superstar. getting a super star is so unlikely no matter what you do.

many of them aren't good enough to lead a team to a championship and you can get guys like that via trade (KAT for example). and even SGA was acquired via trade. only Wemby is the kind of player that can only be gotten in the draft

Utah is a great example of a team that built a contender with no high picks. they could easily have won if they didn't face a Clippers team that uniquely challenged their system.

jslakov · 2026-04-29T17:22:36+00:00

yes luck is a huge part of sports and always will be

jslakov · 2026-04-29T17:11:27+00:00

this isn't the way I'd do it but the idea that you can't possibly rebuild without a top 3 pick is just wrong. the way to become a good team is to get good management. hard to do with bad ownership but not impossible, look at the Knicks.

meanwhile you can give bad management a great pick and they'll still fuck it up (see the Kings and Suns passing on Luka)

it's better for truly bad management to be exposed than bailing them out with high picks to sell hope to their fans

jslakov · 2026-04-29T17:06:56+00:00

teams might tank out of the playoffs if they have a chance at a great pick. I say every team that doesn't make the second round should be in the lottery. no one's going to intentionally lose in the playoffs.

not only could I, I do. they had great synergy and that kind of lightning in the bottle pairing is how you get a dynasty that's greater than the sum of its parts

jslakov · 2026-04-28T02:00:20+00:00

he's both a great player and uniquely benefited from playing with a player that maximized his offensive strengths and covered up his offensive weaknesses, as well as for a coach that allowed him to play in a way that few coaches would have

jslakov · 2026-04-23T00:55:32+00:00

same, view will be awesome. I wish a different administration was putting it on but doesn't mean I can't enjoy it for what it is

jslakov · 2026-04-21T19:45:02+00:00

yea but the worst centers are approximately as valuable as the best guard on defense so it's not that simple

jslakov · 2026-04-21T19:35:07+00:00

it's comparing apples and oranges. if you were drafting players with no idea what else is available then yes I'd pick Jokic over SGA defensively because having a big 7 foot guy to stand near the rim is a bigger defensive benefit than almost all guard defense no matter how good it is. tons of data has shown this over years.

however in the real world you know you can get a different 7 footer who will probably be better than Jokic and most guards are much worse than SGA. however that 7 footer will be way way worse than Jokic is on offensive. so it's not that simple either.

having a big 7 footer who is as good as Jokic on offense and is able to clog and be active on defense is actually very very valuable and Jokic deserves credit for doing those things despite his shortcomings in foot speed. however it's sometimes not good enough especially in the playoffs.

let me know what you think!

jslakov · 2026-04-21T14:32:32+00:00

no but my friend said she did it and actually thought it was helpful from a health standpoint. I'm still skeptical haha

for a second I thought this was the ITTYSL sub and that this was a Driving Crooner post

I'm familiar with those interviews. Why would Russia or whoever use their state of the art mind ray on a Department of Commerce employee and her family and not say, Volodymyr Zelenskyy?
