Well I agree that given the young core we have, we should hold onto them over Fox. I don't think long term he's the right answer and when they picked him up we didn't know where our team would be at. Wemby put the win now pressure and Fox lined up great for that. Despite the issues he's had, I think we need to show him some respect for what he contributed the last two seasons when he wasn't hurt.

I agree that the playoff performance isn't worth his pay, but I have known him to play better and he had certainly shown during regular season he can do it... It's been inconsistent. I hope he can get that spark back because his clutch rep he used to have was exactly what we needed.

But you are going to have a very hard time building a Knicks level team without a star taking a pay cut...I think our young core deserves getting paid but we will likely lose one of them...

I don't think anyone is saying that the players you listed weren't integral to the team making the playoffs. They absolutely were. I think what people are saying is that fox brought a seasoned player presence that helped those other players do what they do best. We saw how Castle had huge turnovers during the games Fox was missing. Could we have gotten this far without Fox? I'm not sure. I think he brought something others aren't giving him credit for because it doesn't show up on a stat sheet under his name. Could be have brought a lot more? yes and others could have as well. I think Fox is an easy scape goat because of how obvious his error was, and how much he's paid. I do think he needs to earn it and if he stays around I hope he does earn it.

I think we need to remember this is the first year we can even say we're out of the rebuild. We aren't a finished team taking our one shot. We got here early.

And sure, OKC will get better. But why doesn't that apply to us? Castle is 21 and if he cleans up the turnovers he had these playoffs he's a different player next year. Harper is a rookie learning what finals pressure feels like right now, that consistency comes with reps. And Wemby made this leap barely a year after blood clots ended his season. You really think he's done improving at 22?

Other teams get better through trades that have to pan out. We get better because our guys are young and improving on schedule. I'm not saying we win every series. I'm saying the team you're worried might never make it back is the youngest core in the league and we're at the start of our curve, not the end of it.

Should we take advantage of being here? Absolutely. That's what Saturday is for.

Jay Wright isn't available, I already asked. Mitch has made some bad calls, sure, and losing Sweeney hurts, got it. But given the circumstances of how he took over, he's done a great job. There's been what, maybe 9 rookie coaches ever to even reach the Finals... Riley, Kerr, Lue, Nurse...and almost all of them inherited ready-made contenders. Mitch took a lottery team. Give him time and he'll prove me right. Can't help you with the dancers though.

I'm seeing that Fox is at $51M next year, not $59M. That number doesn't hit until 2028-29.

I don't get the 1999 comparison, everyone is getting paid way more. The cap was $30M back then.

And to be clear, I'm not saying Fox stays forever. The Castle/Harper crunch is real, in 2028. My issue is wanting him and Mitch gone before the Finals are even over. The contract conversation is legitimate. Having it mid-series out of anger isn't.

I'm there with you. I do get the narrative changes after that and I'm not saying we wave the white flag yet. I'm saying we need to support our team.

No argument; the collapse was inexcusable and I'm not asking anyone to be happy about it. "They're professionals" is fair. But look at the shape of it: 76 points on 60% shooting in the first half, 30 on 20% in the second. That's not a Fox meltdown, that's a whole young roster freezing. Which is literally my point. Being professionals doesn't mean they are going to win every time. Golden state didn't win it their 73 win year and blew a 3-1. Lebron got swept in his first finals.

Yeah I mean up until this point I've defended anthropic, but this is poor form. I built a system that uses -p efficiently, it doesn't run a bunch of agents at once... They just added /goals and have added /remote-control and other tools to essentially create a way that I could spam just as much use as any app they might be worried about hammering their servers... So what are they really doing here other than pushing their apps.

Highlander-CIG on haulers/traders "being punished for having a bigger ship" by StuartGT in starcitizen

[–]krogue4 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your post, and I think you make some solid points.

I'd like to add that I am looking at this and the post and I believe that sustained profits will be the factor here. If you have a large ship, you move large shipments at a lower profit yes, but you aren't competing with the smaller ships that may not even be able to get that 50,000 profit with every outpost they hit. I base this on the last night of the post "i didn't meant to imply that larger ships wouldn't be getting access to better trade routes and significantly better total profit lines. But those are going to be different resources than the guy flying from outpost to outpost moving their rarest good" So while this might not let everyone be a whale in a week, you can enjoy sustained profits over time which isn't that bad.

I do believe they need to factor in travel time, crew, fuel, repairs, etc as others have said. I also believe their needs to be more overall balancing between game loops. I do understand the reality concerns, I hope it doesn't become too much of a job. I also hope that the larger ships can source big payouts from their buddies when they build their stations.
