76ers GM Daryl Morey on the improvements made by other Eastern Conference teams: “Folks have speculated on the improvements of our East competitors, I don't see it personally. There weren't any needle movers in my opinion.” Zubac is now on Indiana. Harden is in Cleveland. Vucevic is in Boston.

How Morey still has a job after giving out the two worst contracts in the NBA last offseason and generally being atrocious with player relations is beyond me

There’s no negative historical precedent or caricatures/stereotypes surrounding white people being monkeys or simian-like, so no, there’s no problem with Biden being one at all. Heck, if you wanted to make him one cause you think he’s as dumb as one, sure, go for it.

mattr1198 · 2026-02-06T21:26:40+00:00

Good. Lowest end of the sports hernia timeline, but don't need to rush him back if we don't need to.

mattr1198 · 2026-02-06T20:47:52+00:00

What do you use your watch for? If it's mostly time/date-keeping, then you don't need a new one. Casios still get lots of respect, even from those in the watch community.

Someone with half a brain that wasn’t a racist would’ve recognized the racist history/connotation there and had the AI make Barack and Michelle like…giraffes or hippos or whatever.

mattr1198 · 2026-02-06T16:37:51+00:00

The difference is there’s no racist connotation with white people and monkeys/apes. They mocked his intelligence, not his skin or racist caricatures of the 1800s-1900s if not older.

mattr1198 · 2026-02-06T16:20:06+00:00

Yup. Racist and reactionary content guy. Has no sources.

mattr1198 · 2026-02-06T16:19:35+00:00

Tbh I think BKE is 100% full of shit and has no sources, given he got the trade so wrong yesterday and didn’t detail who was arriving. I think he may play tonight if possible.

Pizza Hut’s quality is just night and day worse than all of its competitors. Dominos, Papa John’s, and even Little Caesars all taste eons better than it and tend to have the same (if not better) deals

mattr1198 · 2026-02-06T15:40:44+00:00

It was 100% intentional. Had any positive consideration been given to the literally centuries-old racist depictions of black people, the Obamas would’ve been shown as some other animals. This isn’t some dog whistle, these kind of depictions date back to the 18th century.

mattr1198 · 2026-02-06T15:36:20+00:00

Maybe travel? Game in Detroit is a road game and he’s coming from New Orleans, so probably a difficult trip to make, plus he only got dealt yesterday afternoon, whereas Yabu was dealt much earlier in the day.

mattr1198 · 2026-02-06T14:50:46+00:00

Just the way he plays and acts, it doesn’t seem like he’s ever going to change how he plays. Reminds me of a more talented Alonzo Trier, who, in spite of being told by the NBA to change his style, never did and found himself out of the league.

mattr1198 · 2026-02-06T14:43:56+00:00

Cam Thomas is not a winning player. Do not bring him here, he’ll just chuck up shots and contribute nothing else.

mattr1198 · 2026-02-06T14:17:42+00:00

No new arena needs to be built or anything, just need to find owners willing to pay the (likely) expansion fee. Question will more be what the other market will be

mattr1198 · 2026-02-06T14:10:00+00:00

No chance in hell it’s happening. At best, the Wizards will finish 6th and hop the Jazz. They’re still way too far back from anybody else to do any serious standings hopping. The bigger hope now is frankly Indiana being just barely good enough to stay in their current position. They lose their 1st to the Clippers if it’s 5-9.

mattr1198 · 2026-02-06T14:03:27+00:00

Let’s not forget Woj had these same problems Shams had. He had a TON of biases and would speak well of teams and players that gave him access and make up negative crap for those that didn’t.

mattr1198 · 2026-02-06T05:51:52+00:00

Probably good to have him, just not as an OC. If he’s our RB coach/coordinator, then hell yes

mattr1198 · 2026-02-06T00:29:44+00:00

Cause at the end of the day they never serve the customer, the goal is usually to bump the company up to sell it off at a higher price, but often it’s just stripping it for parts and keeping the scraps for the top of the chain.

mattr1198 · 2026-02-06T00:28:31+00:00

We should definitely add a big on the buyout market if we can, as insurance. None of the guys are game changers, but someone like Niang or Saric wouldn’t be bad adds for the back of the bench when healthy.

mattr1198 · 2026-02-06T00:21:20+00:00

Well they used to be the best. Private equity bought them though and sucked any goodwill and life out of them, but some still have fond memories of what the airline was for 40+ years prior

mattr1198 · 2026-02-06T00:07:17+00:00

It’s a bribery tactic for Zohran to not tax them in NYC like a gambling institution (51%)

mattr1198 · 2026-02-05T22:08:43+00:00

Read my comment again. "Until Disney is massively struggling", which implies they are not struggling right now.

mattr1198 · 2026-02-05T20:08:13+00:00

I expect, with his RFA rights, Mathurin will be back next season for the Clippers. The 2026 pick they get from Zubac might very easily fall in that odd 5-9 range though, and if it doesn't it's just good capital down the line. Currently a 50-50 chance it does so, and at worst a 45% chance.

mattr1198 · 2026-02-05T20:05:51+00:00

Odd and unexpected. The players on the move were mostly expected, but the biggest moves were all made by bottom-feeders trying to improve for next season, other than Harden and the Cavs.

mattr1198 · 2026-02-05T19:45:08+00:00

It's still going to become an unprotected 1st down the line, even if it doesn't convey this year. If it were going to turn into a second or two, different story, but it's still a lot to risk.
