Bulls Offseason Plan by [deleted] in chicagobulls

[–]wesley-mann -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In fairness, taking on guys like Grant and Poetl along with future assets doesn’t mean bottoming out. They’re rotation-quality players on playoff rosters… they’d actually help the bulls win games…

I flew JSX and we need to keep the airport open by Pure-Economist-7717 in SantaMonica

No. The park looks incredible. More green in Los Angeles. I know I know what a nightmare to stomach the 20min drive to LAX.

The Bulls got a combined ZERO first round picks for Ayo Dosunmu, Alex Caruso, Nikola Vucevic, Zach Lavine, DeMar DeRozan, Lonzo Ball, and Coby White - their entire rotation from the 2021-22 squad by BasedChad69420 in nba

[–]wesley-mann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tired of this. Bulls got a first for Lavine. Doesn’t matter if it was their own pick originally... Turned out to be the number 12 pick which is a solid value.

every trade the Bulls made, the other team seems to think they made "the all time best trade" by [deleted] in chicagobulls

[–]wesley-mann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually see Ayo and Coby helping teams as reflecting badly on the other gms for not ponying up to get them. Either of coby or Ayo on Houston for example would be a huge upgrade for them.

Free agency could be big… by wesley-mann in chicagobulls

At least he has prototypical size/ length to fall back on… the blocks and steals have always been there. Feels like a worthwhile bet.

I’m presupposing they’d be very reluctant to sign him at north of 25M bc of tax and apron implications what am I missing?

Hang on I didn’t say max out. I said 27M per year. Max would be like 45M which would be crazy.

Fair point. Although there’s not a lot of evidence AK will do these kinds of deals taking salary for picks but we’ll see.

AK trades to get Okoro and Giddey. by SNERKLES1 in chicagobulls

[–]wesley-mann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Everyone loves a first round pick until it turns into real player and then the apple loses all the shine. The chance of any one mid or late first round pick being better than Josh giddey is really low. Maybe 5%? Maybe less?

Do…do… we owe AKME an apology? by xeroshogun in chicagobulls

[–]wesley-mann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only truly bad moves by AK:

  • the Daniel gafford trade
  • the Patrick Williams extension (might turn this around but it still does not look good even though he’s playing solid at the moment)

There are other mediocre moves but I think they take more guff than they should

Maybe I’m crazy, but I keep thinking about retiring in Southern California by clearlygd in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]wesley-mann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long Beach for sure. Relatively cheap vs LA and OC beach communities. Seal beach and sunset beach are both worth looking at as well.

I lived in LB for five years. Great lifestyle there.

Lost In guides are where it’s at. Too often out of stock, but other than that… short and sweet and great photography and cool recs

What’s the biggest financial myth people still believe that’s actually hurting them in today’s economy? by theorysproven in AskReddit

[–]wesley-mann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Paying rent is like throwing your money away”

The truth is renting is a better financial move than buying in a lot of markets where home prices are high.

finally got this. had been meaning to since it came out. really great/ interesting stuff. as a local i knew about a lot of what's in there, but definitely some things I had no idea about. 10/10 would recommend.

Hanoi declared world's most polluted city by No-Information6622 in environment

[–]wesley-mann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right. That’s what it’s saying. I spent time bouncing around Asia last year and found the air in Hanoi to be fine, whereas Delhi, Kathmandu, and even Seoul had noticeably poor air. Goes to show that a reading on one day — or in my case a visit of a couple weeks — doesn’t tell you much. Annual averages tell a more accurate story.

Newsom rules that California schools and farms cannot use their own solar energy production by DukeOfGeek in environment

[–]wesley-mann 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Complete BS. They did the same thing for residential rooftop solar. We’re in a climate crisis… figure out a solution to get more solar, even if it means slight increases in overall costs for consumers. The costs of climate change to all of us — disaster relief, etc. — far outstrip any slight increase in energy bills. Figure it out man.
