  1. Happens all the time when I use Uber in New York. I have no idea how these guys grind out a living.
  2. Username checks out. Yeah it caused absolute traffic nightmares. I had to get from Greenway to the Near Northside. That was not a fun Uber ride. Poor bastard spent an hour in traffic taking every back road imaginable for about $35.
  3. Should have stuck it out in Philly. At least he’d be on the East Coast in a large city. George is hurt all the time. He had a lane to ample playing time.
  4. Maybe. Ishbia has repeated over and over again they’ll always attempt to win. The Nets made some deeply bizarre decisions last night. They kept all 4 firsts, drafted 4 players, and kept Cam Johnson. Either they struck out on dozens of trades, or they’re rudderless.
  5. Strong to quite strong opener. Happy to be back in this world with these people.
  6. And the Suns traded for Mark Williams. I’m alarmed by their sudden competence.
  7. Sure but he’s exactly what they needed for that lazy as hell Suns defense.
  8. Yep. They fell ass backwards into Maluach somehow.
  9. The Suns blind squirreling their way into Maluach is going to piss me off.
  10. Haha. Ace fucks around and finds out in Utah.
  11. Poor Jazz. No Flagg is bad enough, but no Kon is a disaster. And it gets worse… Kon and entire family thanking God in the interview. Look like the basketball Brady Bunch. He would have fit like a LEGO in SLC.
  12. Correct. By all accounts, his son Patrick is the de facto owner.
  13. Basically this. Third Apron thinks the Sixers will offer something in $22 million range.
  14. Locked On’s salary cap guy is convinced the Sixers won’t let Grimes leave. We’ll see.
  15. Get in there Rockets. Offer one of the Suns’ picks.
  16. Perfect contract for Fred. A year and about $40 million less than what many of us were expecting. I won’t call not trading Jock a whiff, but I would have liked to trade him. I liked his offensive game, but he was a turnstile on defense. It would be really funny if the Lakers picked up another non rim protector big.
  17. Did the Lakers brass think Steven Adams wouldn’t be a good fit with Luka? They should have tampered the hell out of Adams.
  18. Hilariously bad Simmons’ Celtics takes: - Really didn’t want to trade Holiday or Porzingis because “they meant so much to team off the court.” - Thinks Porzingis can really help the Hawks playing off Trae, and the Celtics will bring him back in 9 months. Completely glosses over his horrific injury history and the long COVID bullshit. Did Porzingis cure cancer in Boston? I have no idea why he is beloved by their fanbase. He’s soft as baby shit and is never available. - Thinks the Holiday trade is “good for both teams.” “Holiday can be a leader on that young team. “ He is declining rapidly, is 35 years old, and is due $100+ over the next 3 years. The Blazers got fleeced. - Celtics should rush Tatum back for the playoffs. “Looking over the roster without Tatum they can win 50 games.” - Celtics shouldn’t trade Jaylen Brown unless they get 200% on the dollar back.” Good fucking luck Bill. - Simmons is super concerned about Horford joining the Lakers. WTF? Why? Horford is 39 and he would joins very old team. Is he worried about LeBron and Horford teaming up to run the LA Bridge scene? Mannix is usually very good and an asshole but he only checked Bill on rushing Tatum back. Just sat there and nodded while Simmons ranted for 90 minutes.
  19. Simmons was talking shit on Tre for not being to finish at the bucket. Who gives a shit if he’s drilling step backs all night?
  20. The Suns keeping 10 and then taking a guard would be some Ishbia on brand shit right there.
  21. Spurrier pandering to a UF alumni magazine. No way gif. If we weren’t on their schedule he wouldn’t have said shit about Texas.
  22. The Locked On Rockets guy thinks they might buy back into the second round to target a rotational player rather than paying the vet minimum. Sounds like Holiday and Landale are gone unless their player options can be packaged in a trade. Tate would have to come back at the vet minimum. He thinks the only reason to pick up FVV’s club option is to go big trade hunting in season.
  23. OU figuring out they’re fucked in high school recruiting this early is unfortunate. I had hoped Nagy would run his head into the wall for 2 more years. I imagine they’ll go head to head with Tech for the top portal mercenaries and lose often. Their only pitch is playing in a better conference/chance at revenge against Texas. I suppose their next move will be confetti gunning offers at track meets.
  24. Please save your money, watch a couple seasons of I Think You Should Leave to tide you over until this is a streamer. It was good, but as others have said it’s like a 100 minute sketch. Not worth $25. Tim kills as a weirdo. The shit he says under his breath is always funny as hell. Mara is great as the too good for Tim wife. Son is also funny. I think Paul Rudd failed to pick a lane as the straight man. It felt like a sequel to his character from I Love You Man. It just didn’t work. Tried to play it down the middle. It’s a funnier character if he’s a sleazy d bag weatherman with a yellow Vette or an aging hippie that likes to slap the bass.
