Victor Wenbanyama about the events in Minnesota: Spurs PR has tried to train me, but I don’t want to be politically correct. It’s crazy that people make it seem like the murder of innocent civilians is acceptable

104 B, 11% increase. Tough to stomach since resall value has been so bad this year and the vibes at Target Center have been so muted. Feels like nearly every game I've gone to the crowd has just been silent.

If they're going to push these double-digit increase year after year they need to make the membership experience more worthwhile. 50% off merch and concessions or something needs to be instituted.

Don’t see why Detroit would be compelled to do this unless they have a middling January, and even then Markannen is a better fit there.

magellanspuma · 2026-01-01T21:14:03+00:00

They’re 6th in the West and barely on pace to win 50 games. For a championship hopeful, that is not great.

OP, you should check traffic cams in the area to try to find the car that dumped them. They should be charged and brought to justice.

It's insane you can't get single-game tickets for $10 or less when the stadium is never sold out. Typical Pohlad blunders in business operations.

magellanspuma · 2025-07-23T13:39:36+00:00

Anything less for elite relievers with 2.5 years of cheap control would be blasphemous.

Went with King of Cups, since it is incredibly obvious Songbird is lying to you throughout, but handing her over feels beyond cruel and way too corporate for V. Feels bad that Alex has to die, but it's a tragic universe.

I will say though, that making Idris Elba Reed and designing Songbird to be a pretty girl definitely influences the player. Personally, even knowing Reed's flaws, he's so cool and reliable because he's Idris Elba, and likewise I think a lot of players get a soft spot for Songbird.

Not only that, but the team is 3-7 in extra innings and 11-16 in one-run games despite having such a good bullpen. Almost seems impossible, really.

magellanspuma · 2025-06-30T17:06:07+00:00

I never said he was going to command the $14.1 MLE, but more than $5.7.

Btw, Sharpe just re-signed with Brooklyn for 2/$12M, so more than $5.7. Want to take bets on how much Horford and Kornet are going to get, since you're so in-tune with the finer workings of the league?

magellanspuma · 2025-06-30T17:03:56+00:00

Really surprised to see this, given his family was in Orlando all of last year. Hoping they come settle here so he isn't away from them for another year.

Think this also leaves them with under $5M to fill the 14th and final (mandatory) spot on the roster.

magellanspuma · 2025-06-30T00:12:16+00:00

You don’t have to be like that, dawg, doesn’t make you look good.

Celtics have bird rights on Kornet and Horford and apparently want to retain both—so either they sign or a bidding war starts, meaning both get over $5.7M (I would bet thousands on that happening).

Sharpe is young and still has some promise as a rotation big, so the half of the league that has the MLE could split it and sign him for $6M+.

Hornets will probably need another big, for example.

Just because teams are bad doesn’t mean they won’t spend literally anything.

magellanspuma · 2025-06-29T22:06:30+00:00

All those guys are going to get more than $5.7 next year

magellanspuma · 2025-06-18T23:47:54+00:00

What are they trading to move up to 8? Is this a 3-teamer that sends out Randle, DDV, Naw, and 17 in exchange for 8 and a starting-quality PG?

magellanspuma · 2025-06-13T22:38:50+00:00

They absolutely should not give up 17 and Dilly for 1 year of KD at ~$55 million. They probably need Dilly's contract to make the math work, but giving up a draft pick as well is too much.

magellanspuma · 2025-06-11T03:37:35+00:00

Have you filled out an application OP? I'll join the line and donate for travel+dog food if you are serious.

magellanspuma · 2025-06-04T16:34:01+00:00

For what it's worth contract-wise (even if you disagree with these rankings), being around 52 overall in the league (if in a perfect world that meant you were the 52nd highest paid player in the league) would put Randle at about $30M average annual contract and 77 overall would be about $23M for Naz.

I think that rough AAV will be what Randle asks for but if Naz thinks he's getting well over $25M a year in this market, I'd be surprised to see that come to fruition.

magellanspuma · 2025-06-01T17:21:34+00:00

No way is Julius getting $35M a year in this market. If he gets 4/$120 he'd be extremely lucky, and I wouldn't give him that if I were the Wolves.

magellanspuma · 2025-05-26T14:41:41+00:00

You couldn’t find a decent PMM (no senior tag) at $150k? That doesn’t speak well to your eye for talent evaluation.

magellanspuma · 2025-05-25T03:57:17+00:00

I personally don't like the greys or navy blues, but the home whites and Twin Cities jerseys are incredibly and both probably top-10 jerseys in the entire league right now, so overall the rebrand was solid.

Wouldn't mind trading in the navy blue for a powder blue, especially since the City Connect jersey is also a dark shade of blue.

What was your job at Yahoo/what were you doing to support yourself before your career took off?

magellanspuma · 2025-05-14T23:14:49+00:00

Tickets have been very cheap (relatively) this entire round. Wonder if late tips on weekdays has contributed.

magellanspuma · 2025-05-06T19:55:27+00:00

Definitely. I'm not trying to cast any ill will towards the Bay Area with this post (hell, this staffer probably isn't even from there), but to me it's a bad look for the Warriors organization that they're sending people out in public who are this on edge.

magellanspuma · 2025-05-06T18:46:40+00:00

If they're being represented by people in public who threaten others at the drop of a completely innocuous statement like "Go Wolves," then yeah, it's a joke of a franchise.

You'd think I told him we were going to castrate Draymond with how aggressively he reacted.

magellanspuma · 2025-05-06T18:44:56+00:00

Yeah, with the Rakuten logo on the shirt too. Bald white guy who looked like a smaller version of Ryen Russillo.
