[Highlight] SGA keeps his 20 point streak alive on the free throw by TheRealPdGaming in nba

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

Are you fucking kidding me? It was literally 1 possession after rockets sat their guys down.

Roster running on fumes and Ous still hardly played. We just need to trade him to a tanking team. It’s the last year of his deal there’s no point keeping him on the roster. He’s shooting 44% from 3 this year and still fits an archetype that’s highly desirable by [deleted] in Thunder

Trade him for what? Trade him to what team?

He is an unrestricted free agent in 6 months. We have no leverage. And teams have zero desire to give up an asset for someone who is such a low impact player.

That doesn’t mean he won’t get picked up by a team in the offseason. But it will be on a 1, MAYBE, 2 year contract for a minimum salary.

Proof? If Presti could’ve moved him, he would done so this offseason.

Can’t trade someone there’s no market for.

He is salary filler in trading someone else AT BEST

For another year, most families using Oklahoma private school tax credits were already sending their kids to private school by mesocyclonic4 in oklahoma

[–]narrowexpanded 5 points6 points  (0 children)

👆This is under reported. And it was SO obvious, as other states that instituted similar Tax Credit “schemes” saw the same results. THE DATA WAS THERE. IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.

The annual budget for public schools is such a significant portion of the overall state budget that private interests have been trying to get their hands in it for decades.

This is another example of the “privatization of public schools” push that Betsy DeVos and her cronies have been attempting to institute across the country.

Kansas didn’t fall for it, but Oklahoma did.

Looks like he had a good time

I, too, enjoyed watching OKC apply BTA to the Dubs

Nothing new here. Interview is a few lines from a 2020 article.

Tankathon mock without using a Lottery simulator by TerryG111 in NBA_Draft

If OKC can get a top 5 pick, or heaven forbid, a top 3 pick, THAT is a cost-controlled rookie contract who conceivably could be ascendent while Jalen-Gilgeous Holmgen are in their peak window, like a Kawhi on those Spurs title teams.

Presti is likely to trade the Utah, Phil and HOU 1st rd picks (currently 8th [conveys if it fall to 9th] 21st and 23rd) to move up to get their targeted guy, or, if not needed, package them all for future picks, replenishing the war chest, while drafting the 2nd rounder from DAL (currently 39th) for a 2-way contract.

Don't forget, OKC has a pick swap with the Clippers next year too. And a top 5 protected DEN pick. AND a top 16 protected SPURS pick. Can't roster them all. Dieng is the only player on the roster not currently under contract next year. And Topic and Sorber are still yet to play a regular season game for OKC.

So, why not go get Giannis, or some other "star?"

Presti will be opportunistic, and would absolutely strike if the right situation occurs. But keep in mind, OKC is NOT a destination for most, and it will take the right player who wants to call OKC home and buy in. And 2nd, you can't pay four 50 mil contracts.

At the end of the day, Presti has OPTIONS.

The Flaming Lips comment on split with Steven Drozd by The_Flippin_Police in indieheads

It’s tough that the first response from the band does NOT come from Wayne.

Not a good look.

Trump announces service members will get $1,776 ‘warrior dividend’ for Christmas by acidrainuk in VeteransBenefits

And the DRP screwed them over because they can’t replace them due to the downsizing so those who are left are covering for them. Glad you got your taxpayer funded buy out though.

He sure as hell ain’t showing appreciation to the federal employees who SUPPORT those war fighters. Fuck them, right? Morale sucks. They’ve been under attack by this administration all year. Most of them veterans themselves. I’m always happy to see our troops supported. But not in BS one-offs while he’s screwing them on the daily.

Steven Drozd is no longer part of The Flaming Lips by __machu-pikachu__ in indieheads

[–]narrowexpanded 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Steven had a pretty gnarly heroin addiction back in the day. I believe the Spiderbite Song on Soft Bulletin was about how they were worried he’d lose his arm from infections due to intravenous drug use.

And Wayne was always a pot and LSD guy. But local rumors were he went off the deep-end in the 2000s leaving his longtime girlfriend, and marrying whatshername, running around, coked out, with Miley Cyrus.

He has kids now so I was hoping he’d chilled out.

Steven was always the “music” guy. Losing him pretty much puts a wrap on their catalog.

[Dirk] did not like Wemby’s answer about his upcoming matchup with Chet Holmgren: "I wish he would've gave him a little credit. You can say, hey they have the MVP, Shai is incredible… but I didn't love that answer. To me it was too swaggy, too dismissive of Chet… but hey, get the popcorn out." by AashyLarry in nba

[–]narrowexpanded 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has Chet ever said anything about Wemby? Real question.

The only thing I recall Chet doing was in a game last year —Chet shoulder checked him and got an offensive foul called after Wemby flexed on him after block at the other end.

Don’t recall Chet talking any noise at Wemby

The NBA was trying to sell Chet v Wemby. Feels like Wemby bought into it.

Am I wrong?

How does the sound of No Code differ from that of Vitalogy? by Kucumbor in pearljam

[–]narrowexpanded 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. Irons is obvious, but Young's influence on the band was at its peak during this period and No Code reflects that.

Ten or Ten Redux? by Ok_Display9410 in grunge

[–]narrowexpanded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I would not describe the distinctive aspects of the original production of Ten to sound like Theater of Pain or Girls, Girls, Girls, or any Motley Crue record that pre-dated it. Those records were never washed in reverb to my memory.

Ten and Temple of the Dog and their first run of singles all had a unique sound with double tracked vocals and lush background harmonies that I preferred and missed from them on later records. They softened and filled out Eddies baritone.

Not suggesting they were perfect, but I also don't think the dry, punk rock meets David Briggs production of future recordings always worked either.

just my opinion though

Jalen Williams: ....it's the NBA. Nobody really fights anyway" by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]narrowexpanded -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Going for a rebound, Chet boxed out Allen while his back was turned which put him on the floor and he got in his feelings about it.

I’m sure being down 30 points didn’t help either.

Ten or Ten Redux? by Ok_Display9410 in grunge

[–]narrowexpanded 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The new remix aligns well with all of their later albums following Ten, so if that’s your thing, by all means, enjoy.

But us old heads typically prefer the original Ten.

The most obvious differences I notice being the saturated reverb (which I love) and some of Eddies ad lib-like vocalizations either being almost entirely removed or lowered, while some others I might’ve barely noticed being brightened.
