  1. Colonizing Mars is a grift. Exploring Mars is something we should be doing. Colonizing no. To have the power to deal with all the shit you just described and sustain life 140 million miles from the home planet means you have the power to fix the issues on the still currently thousands of times more hospitable home planet. The issue is we as a society would expect actual results for our "fix the earth" money. You can run the Mars colonizing grift for a much longer time, falling back on the "it's really really hard" excuse when you produce no results but have moved billions/trillions of dollars into your pocket.
  2. Lotta rules for a damn short sale. And what market is this where somebody is upside down enough to be doing a short sale? Those are exceedingly rare these days.
  3. My only hope is Luka stays out of shape, pisses off the Lakers, they piss him off he leaves the team to go be on Love Island, gets sent off and comes back to Dallas after meeting Jason Kidd in a bar over a beer. I call it the Jamie Tartt plan
  4. Spunt interviewing Fake Jason Kidd this week needs to be a thing
  5. He would be the most likely candidate, given his recent history, which includes some clashes with Luka. That said, that piece would be so much easier to write if the Mavs had gotten something more substantial in return. In this case, it's gonna have to be full John Gotti style middle of the street assassination type stuff. Like "we have learned that Mavericks leadership were concerned with reports that Luka Doncic strangled puppies to death with his bare hands in his spare time" bad
  6. One of the hardest things in the world to do is to use words and logic to get somebody to admit they have been duped. Why this thread needs to stay pretty active.
  7. Damn that's crazy
  8. IN THE FACE IN THE FAAAAAAACE!!!!!
  9. IN THE FACE IN THE FAAAAAAACE
  10. Way to make up for bollocksing it up earlier Kai
  11. Are you paying attention? Since when does the "break shit to cause a crisis you already have a pre-determined solution for" playbook make any sense? They either get the gambling in Texas they want, or they move the team to Vegas which is something they may want less but is a fine consolation win. The only people who get hurt in that transaction are fans.
  12. That will do kid....that will do
  13. You can't let them sit there have all the possession and bang away....recipe for disaster BUT PARTEY
  14. You diminish fan support by breaking shit and then use that diminished support as the impetus for ramping up the rhetoric about relocating the franchise to Vegas with a "but we might ya know reconsider that decision if you would think about legalizing gambling here and help us re-energize fan interest and support (that we helped kill)"
  15. You diminish fan support by tanking and then use that fact as impetus for ramping up the rhetoric about relocating the franchise to Vegas with a "but we might ya know reconsider that decision if you would think about legalizing gambling here"
  16. Need to get to half or only a matter of time
  17. People wonder why Vegas is insanely successful.
  18. For FUCKS SAKE
  19. Could use a second here soon so we have a chance to survive the inevitable highly questionable red card send off. I'm a bit jaded.
  20. Wait, an almost 8 figure position in Fannie and Freddie? As an individual? When did they take this position pre or post 2008?
  21. Tank the organization, give soft, nonsensical answers for the decision, fan interest, attendance and TV viewership plummets, use that as reason to relocate team to Las Vegas. Now where have I seen this move in action before???? HMMMMM
  22. That was the Vikings end of the Herschel Walker trade...which is what this should have been for the Lakers.
