2024-2025 Houston Rockets thread - Prepare for Liftoff 🚀 [Now Featuring Kevin Durant]
If KD goes to the Spurs he’ll have a career year and sign a team friendly extension. If KD comes to Houston, he’ll probably blow out his Achilles in February right after signing a 3 year supermax extension.

IMO, the tragedy of Anakin’s fall is more powerful from the perspective on Mandalore than what we see in ROTS. Fuckin’ Maul, once again, tells the Jedi exactly what’s going to happen. Ahsoka refuses to believe it until she feels it happen and has the “oh fuck” realization immediately followed by Order 66. I understand Maul’s wanting to piss on Palpatine’s plan to flip Anakin, but he should’ve been smarter to think he could defeat Anakin and Kenobi by himself (when he couldn’t beat Kenobi alone previously and then got beat by Ahsoka). He might more effectively fucked Palpatine by dropping a dime on him to the Jedi sooner, get his revenge on the sith, and still run his pirate game in the Outer Rim. *All this shit you’d know what I was talking about if you’d stoop to “watching a cartoon”*

Israel vs everyone war thread
The Red Wedding removed Starks from power in the North and eliminated the primary front of the war with the Lannisters, gave Winterfell to the Boltons, set up Sansa's marriage to Ramsey, caused Arya to go East and get trained by the faceless men, and later Arya's murder of all Frey men. It did some shit.

2024-2025 Houston Rockets thread - Prepare for Liftoff 🚀 [Now Featuring Kevin Durant]
I found the answer about FVV after I made the last post (can't trade a player with a player/team option until it is exercised). KD turns 37 in September, so the extension will really be for his 38/39 seasons. I wouldn't give him $60+ per year for that. Either treat it as a one year rental (and pay accordingly in the trade) or get him to extend for a more reasonable salary based on age/injury risk. For salary matching purposes, Houston's 2025 base salaries are: Sengun - $33.9 Jalen - $33.3 Brooks - $22.1 Jabari - $12.4 Reed - $9.6 Landale - $8 Eason - $5.7 They could re-sign and trade FVV (don't know why FVV would agree to that). If they decline FVV and don't re-sign/extend him, it puts them under the cap where they could sign another free agent and/or re-sign Steven Adams, then pull a trade for KD or someone else.

I've seen realistic sports writers put a fair value on KD based on his age, injury risk, and only one year left on his contract, but there are more who think Houston should give way too much. ESPN mocked 5 trade proposals yesterday and had Houston giving up #10, the 2027 PHX pick, Reed, Cam, Brooks, and Londale. The other offers they pitched seem like less capital than what they have Houston giving up. Minnesota offers Gobert plus spares, Spurs offer Devin Vassell, Harrison Barnes, and #14 pick, and Knicks offer OG Anunoby, Mitchell Robinson. I don't think I'd give up Reed + multiple good assets; maybe tell them to pick two from Cam and the two first rounders plus salary filler. Can FVV be traded prior to declining the team option to serve as filler...like include him, then PHX declines the option, then FVV is a free agent (and could re-sign with Houston)? Or Jalen + Brooks? https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/44108357/kevin-durant-trade-proposals-four-deals-suns-star

2025 LA Civilian and National Guard Conflict
I wasn't cherry picking. They were in photos in two articles I read off Drudge yesterday. I was curious what Party for Socialism and Liberation had to do with all these printed signs at all the protests, then read their website. Photos like these: In Pflugerville:

2025 LA Civilian and National Guard Conflict
I don't know why I was surprised to look up the group named on the bottom of the printed posters and find the protests in all these cities are organized by the Party for Socialism and Liberation whose goal is to completely topple capitalism.

If that's the best offer PHX gets, it's possible. He'd be walking on a team with Wemby, Castle, Fox, CP3, and the #2 pick (Harper?). Not a bad crew to roll with.

- Have you ever been in a movie?
I was interviewed in a documentary, but that's not a movie and did not qualify for SAG card status. In high school, I was in a gallery crowd while filming Tin Cup, but I don't think any of the shots or angles where our group stood were used in the final cut.

I believe I understand your viewpoint on most issues in 2025. I've shared on other FDA and UHC related threads that I have a good deal of experience getting medical devices cleared by FDA. It is very frustrating and not efficient. A typical FDA review panel assigned to a new product submission is composed of a manager (usually 5-10 years experience but looking to escape to pharma/med device as a VP of Regulatory), a couple senior reviewers (30-65 yo lifers that got hired by FDA out of school and never left for whatever reason), and a couple junior scientists (the new hires with <5 years experience). Rarely do any of them have industry experience or perspective. They lean hard on testing precedent when it's outdated, but also apply new (more difficult to pass) standards on new products. What's worse is they keep products on the market that were previously approved under old standards and permit companies with old products to piggy back approvals of their products under the old standards. The FDA reviewers consider themselves thoughtful scientists, and often ask for additional studies, experiments, and data that are irrelevant to the product approval or indicated uses. In almost every product submission, there has been a negotiation on sample size and time duration because the FDA has no concern over a product's need on the market or the R&D expenses required for their additional asks. Brisket and thunderlounge took my post as naively supporting big pharma, when the current system favors big pharma over the startups and small companies. - Have you ever been in a movie?
