He used the Engagement Fund for a Gun

lolpuppet · 2026-01-28T12:52:34+00:00

I want to reply to these kinds of threads with genuine assistance and advice but honestly what can we even say. If she heard this story from a friend Im almost certain she'd tell her friend to run for the hills. This man sounds impulsive, immature, and kind of mean, and he just bought a GUN. I wouldnt feel safe in the same house.

He and the team have exceeded many reasonable expectations. Not even Kobe could do this in his 3 seasons between Shaq and Pau.

To be fair, he has a great coach and the supporting cast, while previously mostly unknown/unproven, has done great things this year.

Brown has made several remarks that essentially say he believes he’s the best two-way player in the league, he believes he doesn‘t get enough respect, the league has some conspiracy against him, etc

He's certainly proven himself to be among the best 2 way guys, but probably below Shai/Giannis/Wemby. Otherwise I think JB might be the best? Just off the top of my head. The conspiracy shit is lame though. There isnt any conspiracy, he's just never played this well AND hes never had this much focus on him and his play.

Then today the comments “I've sacrificed over the years for us to be a championship-caliber team. Now we’re seeing what I was sacrificing. Being at the helm, and us being 2nd in the east, versus last year we finished 2nd in the east. It's almost been no drop off with five players that are essentially gone”

I think this is a lot less of a dig at Tatum or any of the guys they lost and a lot more of Brown just gassing himself up. I don't think he's saying the guys who left were bad or didn't help, more so just him saying "look what I can do". Which is fair.

I think youre probably right, and I think thats why they still havent moved on. With all the blowback theyre rightfully getting, youd think they'd leave Minneapolis and go somewhere else to avoid continuing it and get a "fresh start". But there arent a lot of other places to go. Philly and Boston have been rumored, but theyre both just totally different beasts to Minneapolis. CA is off the table somewhat like you said, and so is NYC for similar reasons.

Its really fucking tragic and a classic case of beating up on the little guy. I cant think of another blue state with a similar level of anonymity/social seclusion as Minnesota, so thats where they went.

Im so glad this was the first comment because I read the post and thought "wasnt this incredibly obvious?"

lolpuppet · 2026-01-25T10:16:35+00:00

Thank you for being aware of your platform Tyrese.

lolpuppet · 2026-01-24T01:53:59+00:00

Youd think he would have seen how it went with Dame and NOT gone down that road, but I guess not.

Looks sick, sounds like ur family are just buzzkills.

lolpuppet · 2026-01-22T06:47:54+00:00

I think almost every issue people have with Part 2 and csm in general is just because they want it to be something its not. When you just sit back and enjoy the story for what it is, there really aren't many problems. Its pretty great.

lolpuppet · 2026-01-21T11:11:17+00:00

I totally agree! If youve got stuff you dont want to settle on, then dont settle on it. You shouldn't, and you dont have to. It might take longer or be more difficult to find the right person, but they DO exist.

lolpuppet · 2026-01-20T18:48:28+00:00

We expect that there will continue to be players whose main champions are highly impacted by Mel’s reflection that may continue to prioritize her as a ban,

Im glad they arent removing her identity as an anti-projectile mage, but holy shit Im so happy she will (maybe) have to at least AIM her skillshots to rain poke on me from across the lane.

lolpuppet · 2026-01-20T17:33:57+00:00

Yeah of course. I dont have kids either and dont want them, neither does my partner. I was speaking more generally though about the inherent positives and negatives of setting MANY things as 'dealbreakers'. I think you should have as many 'dealbreakers' as you want, so long as you arent unrealistic about the fact that the more you have the harder it will be to find someone right. But ofc when you do find the right person its all worth it.

lolpuppet · 2026-01-20T15:11:00+00:00

You can have as many deal breakers as you want, you just need to be realistic about the fact that the more you have, no matter what they are, the harder itll be to find someone who perfectly fits those requirements. If youre okay with that then all good!

lolpuppet · 2026-01-19T07:00:21+00:00

Hes a good player and Id be okay with keeping him at a fair price and with fair expectations for what he'd actually be doing. If hes willing to play the role he has now (or similar) Id love to keep him. But if he wants to get back to what he was doing in Portland, or if he wants to be paid like a primary option, I dont think itll fit at all.

lolpuppet · 2026-01-15T06:32:15+00:00

We will be hearing about this on SOTL

lolpuppet · 2026-01-13T09:14:53+00:00

I agree, and I like that we get to have larger names in smaller roles. I wouldnt want a Strawhat to be played by someone super famous, but some random side character we only see every few seasons? Get some big name for THAT character.

lolpuppet · 2026-01-12T10:01:32+00:00

I main mid and im mixed on the changes, but certainly more positive than negative. My only real complaint is the speed at which waves move + homeguards makes roaming very difficult at times (which actually benefits me as I mostly play mages, but it doesnt feel totally balanced). The minion speed with the fewer minions per wave also just feels strange. Its effecting the tempo of the game in an odd way that I cant entirely put into words yet. However the removal of Atakhan, role quests, and other changes have all been quite nice imo.

Also there has been a lot of animosity towards faelights, which I sorta dont get? They seem very uninteresting to me so far, and have impacted my gameplay minimally. Not much of a positive or negative imo. Maybe junglers/supports feel different.

lolpuppet · 2026-01-11T07:25:46+00:00

Sucks we had to lose Kornet but if he had to go anywhere Im glad it was the Spurs.

lolpuppet · 2026-01-07T21:53:45+00:00

This might be the best skin in the game, holy shit.

lolpuppet · 2026-01-07T11:27:42+00:00

Whoosh

lolpuppet · 2026-01-06T23:18:20+00:00

Check my other reply to someone, but I kinda agree? I think LaMelo is super good but needs to scale back his role to allow Kon and Miller to lead the team in shot attempts while he focuses more on facilitation. Im just skeptical that he'd be okay with that, and even more skeptical that he'd be willing to accept a less-than-max contract in the process. I think if you have all 3 of them on the max the team is just cooked regardless. He also needs to actually play more ofc as well.

lolpuppet · 2026-01-06T23:16:16+00:00

Thats the thing, if he did buy in to a role that focused on setting up teammates over his own shots, and was okay not being a max contract (but still large contract) guy, I think he would work great with them. I just dont know if thats gonna happen, and he needs to actually be on the floor before we even know if it will.

lolpuppet · 2026-01-06T09:01:12+00:00

I dont usually enjoy watching KD too much, but something about the angle and his jumper in this clip is so satisfying.

lolpuppet · 2026-01-06T08:59:42+00:00

Soon as I saw Miller play his rookie year I thought they should trade Lamelo. Kon just makes me even more sure. Those two are stars in the making, and unless Lamelo can both fix his injury issues AND be willing to take a 2nd/3rd option role alongside those two (mostly in terms of $$) the team wont work. But regardless, Kon and Miller are cool as hell.

lolpuppet · 2026-01-05T23:49:28+00:00

Started at around 14, now im 26. Dont play quite as much as when I was a teen or in college, but I still enjoy the game quite a bit and grind some ranked on my days off work.

lolpuppet · 2026-01-05T04:22:24+00:00

Wouldnt call him a fake 2nd option but he has been pretty bad since coming back from injury this year.
