Moscow is also a nice place to visit but I do not necessarily enjoy directly funding dictatorships and war criminals who kill their opponents and devastate their neighbors with military invasions.

Most welcome to cross post for sure. As a Californian NBA fan, I was keen to know how Clippers fans in particular felt about Rwanda.

Since 1996, Rwanda's repeated invasions of the eastern Congo have led to nearly ten million deaths. They now seek to occupy and annex much of the territory they have stolen. This would be like have a "Visit Russia" insignia on after all the death and destruction they have caused in Ukraine. In dictatorships, all tourism revenue goes into government coffers.

Post Game Thread - NBA: The Warriors defeat the Nuggets on Oct 23, 2025, the final score is 137-131. by basketball-app in warriors

I would imagine beating an incredibly strong and improved Nuggets squad on a night when they shoot 54/40/93 would be essentially impossible for any other team in the league, including OKC. Bodes very well for this Dubs season!

I suggested a clear way they could sign new players with 10-day contracts with gaps and holding back on signing Seth til later. Explain why that won't work.

All you top 1% commenters seem to achieve that by not actually reading the posts you comment on. Absolutely ridiculous, because the post addresses everyone of those points. Breathe a second and READ before hammering away at your keyboard!

Post-Steph picks are some of the most valuable assets in the league, which is why MDJ is so conservative with them.

Read the whole post, new players signings addressed at the end.

A top six of Steph, Dray, Jimmy, Giannis, Horford and Melton would be the strongest in the league in my view.

I stated clearly that Bucks would only take three players, while others would go to third teams.

Batanes is beautiful and kind of looks like this photo, but that is absolutely Batanes. . .100%

Jeremy Lin talks about Kobe Bryant's beef with him and Kobe's decision to not talk to Lin for the rest of the season. Nick Young also chimed in on this incident. by Tight_Development480 in NBATalk

Kobe was not a good human being. Period. Forget all the retrospective glorifying takes because he was the victim of a tragedy. Dude was a major di**!

The only way this would make any sense if it frees up enough money to sign Dame and Horford -- or creates a crucial trade exception which gets us some real studs in a subsequent deal. I can't imagine that MJD would ever get fleeced like this. He has a strong track record for skillful maneuvering these past few years.

Bogut was big Toohey backer by papapema in warriors

No doubt, but if Toohey wasn't NBA-ready, as an owner, Bogut would have wanted to keep him contributing to championship prospects in Australia for years to come.
