It would take at least a decade to rebuild that. And probably 5 years to even get to the point where we could launch satellites

SpaceX is the entirety of the US space program. For roughly 3-5 years, they’re the only entity to deliver a US based payload into space

That’s how the founders would’ve handled it!

Spotrac indicates that you can’t renounce cap holds anymore - you’re stuck with it until the player signs a contract somewhere

The way the series was officiated 1) had no impact on the outcome and 2) favored the Wolves, if anything

Yeah but so would calling an illegal screen or an offensive foul for using the off arm.

You can term it “narrative” but when you lost a playoff series by getting killed on the boards and then traded a decade of draft capital for one guy to fix that problem - which the team pretty much said - he has to fix it

Also some of those things can’t matter when you dealt 4.5 first rounders for the guy. You have to deploy him in a way that makes him effective, and if he can only be effective playing one way, then he’s just not good enough

This is precisely the point of having a Rudy Gobert!

Their goal is to reduce the number of Americans that go to college
comment in response to

They don’t want college to be affordable, they want it to be a thing only the kids of oligarchs can access to create a new aristocracy. American elites - including the founders - never objected to aristocracy, only that they weren’t in one

Rudy was holding him back with his arm. You don’t just get to stick your arm out to stop a guy from getting past you. Wolves fans slowly turning into classless, ignorant babies with the constant whining

There’s no reason to put Kendrick Perkins on TV

They’ll pay the three guys and have a constant stream of 3-5 year players by leveraging RFA, plus they’ll be able to spin some off into more picks, etc. - they’ve done a really good job of structuring the whole thing (thanks Kawhi!)

I’m sure they’ll struggle to surround him with affordable talent averaging 2.3 first round picks per year for the rest of the decade

He is pretty much always (last night obviously excepted) the best player on the floor in the highest stakes games and plays like 44 minutes in every home playoff game at altitude. Seems to me like he tries pretty hard.

There are some guys with contracts that are not fully guaranteed that they could waive, too

Plus there’s no way they set up repeater tax for multiple years. If they’re over the 2nd apron next year, their pick goes to 30 automatically. They’re dumping most of their rotation this summer, quick one season tank, retool around a returned Tatum.

The Wolves will be under the apron but might have to find some salary. The Celtics need to make sure the one chance they have for a high pick (they own their 2026 pick) gets realized. And they need to duck the tax.

I’m sure they’ll try to play Flagg at wing with AD/Lively as bigs. Defense wins championships and all that

Also the fact that CPT codes are copyrighted is insane

Thankfully the way role players perform in blowouts isn’t that relevant

Basically ruined Haliburton for over a season

In principle but no player in history has been in better shape than Steph. Still: Wolves in 5

Speeding is far more harmful to society than shoplifting. And when we say “shoplifting” we’re not talking about a stickup, which is armed robbery and much much more rare

If it’s any consolation, Khris would’ve been injured and not playing anyway

I’m basically certain that Kraft personally arranged for it, because he’s a massive piece of shit

Never has a team had a more “1,2,3 Cancun” game
comment in response to
post
Because he’s always been paired with a true C. Lineups this series
Randle with Gobert -2.9 net
Randle no Gobert +20.3 net
He needs the paint uncontested and a guy to target with his bullyball
comment in response to

And yet he still made 2 amazing defensive plays and would’ve had a 3rd if it wasn’t for that meddling Hawkeye cam

Except that 6/8 game 1s were played at a slower pace than the last place team in pace during the regular season because the game slows down in the playoffs, you see…

What he means is “we intend to get rid of car ownership and make it, like everything else, a subscription model in which you can never NOT have a payment due to us monthly”
