  1. Jesus. He hides from the media and the fans for 2 months and THAT’s what he had to say?
  2. If there’s one thing the NBA Governors have demonstrated over and over, it is that they will allow any team to move if their local community doesn’t provide direct financial support for a new arena. That being the case, show me how the Mavericks organization has enough goodwill to get voter support for a giveaway (esp now, in a shakier economy, with higher financing and material costs due to tarriffs), or explain why the Adelsons would pay for one themselves without the additional revenue from a Casino complex. Again, even if setting this situation up wasn’t the objective, they’ve already done the league a huge favor by sending the next historic great to the most important team, which is worth way more than an expansion fee. Why would the league stop them from doing what they want, if the taxpayers won’t pay up and the lege doesn’t give them what they need to make self-funding viable? See above- if the taxpayers won’t support an arena, political pressure on the lege to allow gambling so the Mavs can self fund increases. My bet is that it’s not enough as long as the people who own the Lt gov and senate are still ascendant.
  3. Interesting- walk me through why you are protecting his downside? I’m trying to teach my daughters that we make money investing because we are literally being paid to accept someone’s risk, and therefore to get comfortable with losing sometimes. Do you think your son can learn that with you protecting his downside? Indeed- curious what you get from this approach that you couldn’t get from the many buffered ETFs out there?
  4. And if all that doesn’t work, they bring in THE COMFY CHAIR
  5. Yeah, I know what it is. It describes the region outside of Dallas that is not the City of Dallas. I can’t bring myself to root for another team but I really feel nothing for this organization all of a sudden, and if it leaves Downtown Dallas for Irving that would also feel like betrayal to me. The Mavs have always been a part of city life*. No, they’ve just asserted that they have no plans to move. That doesn’t mean it can’t or won’t happen if they don’t get a stadium deal in “North Texas,” and while anything could happen, at this moment there’s not much taxpayer goodwill to pay for that, and even less for casino gambling. Probably, because Seattle is going to go before Vegas, and that will take a 3-4 years if it was announced today, so would likely be 3-4 years after a move. *Im counting the Moody Coliseum playoff game in 1984 on account of the central location.
  6. Nobody humblebrags like Seb Gorka
  7. Most sure where you saw that, but I would agree. What’s more significant however is the destroyed enterprise value, probably well over $1B. That’s why the conspiracy theories stick- the only way it makes financial sense is in the context of attaching the team to a new arena + casino complex, either in “North Texas” (IOW, not Dallas) but more likely in Vegas. Even if putting that play in motion was not the intent at the time of the trade, it is probably required now to salvage the investment.
  8. No more Nicos
  9. But Brisket‘S Frito Pie party was months ago.
  10. No, my friend. Citizens taking the law into their own hands are the ultimate backstop. The courts are a mutually agreeable alternative only to the extent that they are not captured by a political faction, which in this moment they are. If they can’t return to their role of politically independent arbiters, it’s just a matter of time.
  11. What do you mean? Fillmore Slim looks great!
  12. Verde already in midseason form against Vancouver
  13. I don’t think you understand: they ruined this franchise and hate us, and we want them to take it away. Also, what the fuck is a “North Texas?” Is that where 469 is?
  14. OMG a triple double mamba mentality defense wins championships no hookahs allowed
  15. Maybe he’s hurting his own butt Maybe when Trev is inevitably fired they can bring in Nico Harrison, too
  16. This is like how Doctors blame patients for malpractice claims instead of running butchers out of medicine.
  17. You are literally the only people who can do anything about the actions of people in your profession.
  18. I think he means credited in the GOP political catachism, not by people who think about economic events.
  19. Buy the ticket, take the ride
