  1. This. Giannis doesn’t want to leave. The Bucks gave him a shot, remained loyal to him, and gave him literally everything he’s wanted short of putting all of his brothers on the roster. I think Giannis also understands the Bucks are screwed next season, but they’ll have some options in 2026 when Dame’s contract is expiring.
  2. I’ll agree with BOB15 here. Bron could have opted out, and signed a 2 year deal like Harden. This would have freed up enough money for them to sign a real center. Other than the look at me aspect, I don’t understand his motivations.
  3. I mean the Bucks aren’t going to do better than Alpi and the Suns+Nets+Mavs picks. The Spurs will refuse to include Lavell in the deal.
  4. The Suns are probably going to sign Chris Paul and they’re working towards super maxing Booker. I’m speechless. The Lakers have to be hunting Ayton right? He should be cheap, he won’t cost anything to acquire, he’s somewhat of a name, and oh yeah he plays center.
  5. I think the Hawks overpaid for Alexander-Walker at 4 years $62 million. Glad we stayed out of that one. That said, they made a good deal for Kennard at 1 year $10 million. Reed better drill 3’s like crazy next season.
  6. So the story on Booker is that he likes the Suns because of the proximity to LA without having to play on one of the LA teams right?
  7. The Capela signing shows me they did some self scouting and figured out they have to hide Alpi on defense. He tries hard and is improving, but he’s still slightly below league average. Thank goodness he’s getting better. I thought he has Sabonis Part II. Finney-Smith is slightly concerning if they’re bringing him in to solve their bench 3 point woes. He shot well above his career average last year, and he’s another below average FT shooter. I don’t think they have enough money to sign another shooter. I’d be careful about dealing Cam. They’re going to need somebody to play SG.
  8. I like all 3 of these guys. Alexander-Walker for upside. Kennard for shooting. Finney-Smith for pretty decent 3 and D.
  9. Knob Creek is really all over the place for me. I’ve liked all of the Longhorn picks. The sweet spot is 14+ years at 120 proof, but those are probably never coming back. i don’t care for KC12. I don’t remember 15 being anything memorable. The new Longhorn pick is pretty good. I’d guess it’s around 9+ years at 100 proof. That said, it’s probably not worth eating at Longhorn Steakhouse to try a pretty good pick.
  10. I hope some of you Houstonians shot your shot this weekend. Chloe Fineman was at the Beyoncé concert.
  11. Whitmore has drawn interest from the Nuggets and Bulls. I’d rather not bail the Nuggets’ dogshit bench out, so please trade him to the East.
  12. I jwas about to post about Finney-Smith. Game Theory is discussing him as already not a member of the Lakers. They don’t think there’s anyway they can keep him.
  13. Game Theory really the Jabari deal. Thinks it has great value if he becomes the 4th best player in the team. Still has value if Jabari is the 6th man. If falls in the rotation, it’s still a very tradeable contract.
  14. Jaw dropping they hit 50 wins already with this offense. Astros Pitching Culture is real.
  15. The perfect Beth episode? For sure the most fleshed out Gene episode.
  16. Best readily available by category under $75? - American Single Malt: Jack Daniel's Oloroso Sherry Cask by a wide, wide margin. - Rye: Sazerac store pick. I love Bulleit 12, but it's come and gone. - Bourbon: Wild Turkey 8
  17. Not an overpay on Jabari, but they didn't get him under slot. This stuff adds up especially when Amen is going to get a rookie supermax. His arrow needs to keep pointing up.
  18. I mean, I’ll buy that. Kid is kind of a dick that talks passive aggressive shit about Ime every time they stick a microphone in his face.
  19. I think I screwed up. Swung by Luling at about 4 today and there was a line at City Market. There was some big carnival in town so I’d imagine people drifted over there. So I said no big deal, Lockhart is like 15 minutes away. We went to Black’s. I just wanted sausage so it was pretty good. Is Black’s the best in Lockhart? I wouldn’t think so.
  20. Watch Napkins, and you might be good.
  21. The best Heaven Hill wheater? I’d say so. I bought 3 just to be sure.
  22. Maybe there’s like 42 percenters now? Not exactly embarrassed of aggy, but it’s the best school they got into. They’re from Greater Houston/Meteoplex and more than willing to take advantage of aggy networking. They talk enough shit about football they’re still embraced by the Old Army regards. Every single year, TexAgs has insane diatribes about how the students aren’t showing up or they don’t know the songs/chants/cult mission statement.
  23. Let’s give Ike his flowers. No idea how this guy is already 48 and hasn’t had a bigger career. - Destroyed in The Studio. - One of the few bright spots in an unremarkable Eastbound season. - Killed in Blockers. - Great sidekick in many films, but most notably Neighbors. Mazel Tov you crazy son of a bitch!
  24. The state has changed a great deal from the 1990s to present. The rural kids that were automatic aggys are gone. Their families moved to the suburbs. A vast majority applied to Texas and didn’t get in. If you don’t believe me, go join a rodeo committee and ask somebody under 30. They still do a good job of indoctrinating them at fish camp, but it’s a not a multi-generational of anywhere but UT thing anymore. That’ll die out with Looch’s dumb ass generation.
