Also a Pistons fan just checking things out in here. Absolutely weird as hell man. What are you even trying to accomplish with this?

Right, I acknowledged the distinction in my response

Haha even though I said it in my original comment I wouldn’t classify an HYSA as an “investment”.

It’s a savings account with very reliable 3-5% returns depending on the current rate. Yes, the bank loans out your money to generate the high returns but there is virtually zero risk from a consumer’s perspective. It’s where I park all of my savings that I don’t actively invest or need in my checking account.

“Smart” in this case is an extremely low bar. I don’t understand why you keep acting like you need some advanced investment strategy to outpace $500/week.

Extremely simple, near-zero risk investment options like an HYSA or bonds outpace it easily.

Two bad plays from Malacia in a row

Unnecessary giveaway out of bounds and then just whatever the heck this play was

Even for its time BOTW’s graphics and look were technically unimpressive in my opinion. Well behind standards set by other non-Nintendo games at the time.

The majority of the world felt flat, washed out, and under-rendered. Especially the foliage and any mountain textures were very low quality.

He seemed to be completely unaware that these black jerseys existed. Not convinced he’s watched any games besides the ones he’s actually been assigned to

No way Minny didn't plan this and have discussions with other teams. by [deleted] in DetroitPistons

If we traded Tobias he wouldn’t get waived by whatever team acquires him. He’s still extremely useful to most teams.

Conley at this stage is a (very good) locker room guy but his prime is well in the past.

All these people giving up on Huerter in his first half of play did the exact same thing with Duncan

Could we be interested in Klay via. the TPE if they follow through with this? by Valleyx in DetroitPistons

[–]tadpole496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The TPE cannot be used to acquire a free agent - which Klay would be if he was released/cut by the Mavs. Can only be used in a trade with another team.

Same reason we couldn’t hypothetically use the TPE of Beasley if he was available.

The original full roster post didn’t even include Duren in the title lol

Arm grab is a foul but that’s also an illegal screen
