    I’m not sure I agree a center like Gobert will age very well. If you trade as much as the T Wolves did, you better be getting an All NBA level player, and outside of the truly all-time greats, there aren’t a ton of over 30 All NBA Centers.

    And this is the primary reason I *think* this ultimately ends in a settlement if Elon is willing to play ball (who the fuck knows). The Twitter Board never thought a Musk takeover was best for the business long term, but once financing was committed the immediate price was too good to turn down without being sued to shreds. Do we really think they now want to steer a protracted litigation to force a deal they never wanted in the first place? Unless Twitter was truly committing fraud or damn close to it, I think they should fight Musk as hard as they can in Delaware to see if they can push him to a reasonable settlement. And if he just refuses to settle? Well, I'm a deal lawyer and not a litigator, but I have a feeling Slights, Laster, etc. won't be as enamored with Musk's schtick as the online white bro culture seems to be, which, together with Twitter's strong contractual standing, puts them in a solid strategic position if they can stomach a fight.

    Ha, you have no clue what you are talking about. Best to go fire up another episode of Rogan and sit this one out.

    Catching up on this thread this morning. Years of posting TexAgs screen shots has made you way, way too adept at this game.

    He’s absolutely right that any lawyer would rather be in Twitter’s shoes vs Musk’s from a contractual standpoint, but that’s assuming both sides are equally financially motivated/capable of pursuing litigation to judgment. I hope that’s the case, but not so sure Twitter won’t fish for a settlement to save face and go about their business. Although, having said that, Musk doesn’t seem like a rational person. He might very well push forward with litigation even if Skadden is advising him to settle, just for sport. Great deal/case to be a Skadden partner; terrible deal/case to be a Skadden associate.

    He can’t terminate and pay the break fee period; it’s a reverse break fee triggered by Twitter terminating the agreement as a result of Elon committing a material breach or failing to close when otherwise required (presumably failure of financing). He’s purportedly exercising his customary termination right resulting from a breach by Twitter that would result in a condition failure (failure to comply with covenants in all material respects). There are some other throw away arguments in the letter as well. I suspect he has a losing (albeit plausible on its face) argument and Skadden knows that, but I question whether Twitter had the stomach and resources to fight. In their ideal world, I think they’d like to take a large settlement and keep the company public.

    My wife and I saw this last year, at age 33. I loved it. She thought the female lead was unrealistic/devoid of depth and clearly written by a male writer.

    Kawhi violated Kermit years ago and he (and his team) haven’t been the same since.

    On the one hand, having a team with KAT, Gobert and Russel is just incredibly ripe for an epic let down. On the other hand, Anthony Edwards is awesome and may be a top 10 player in the league within 5 years, so who knows. They do need to ship out Russel asap. Dude is not a winning player and does nothing but steal on ball time from Edwards. Incredible they gave up Wiggins and the Kuminga pick for him.

    That is a great trade for the Celtics. Give up scrubs and a late first round pick absent a total collapse.

    Nahlin is a certified cunt regardless of his sourcing. Gerry is worth the price of admission.

    -90% of poster during the first two years of Strong and first two years of Herman (and probably first two years of Mack reset). I too am excited.

    Idk, those 2015-2016 teams were awesome. Draymond and Klay were both so much better, and Iguadala was a beast. Then they had guys like Barbosa, Livingston and David Lee on the bench. Agree that Wiggins > Barnes

    I’m going to cheat and omit Russell, West, Chamberlain, and Oscar (so basically 70s-2022). MJ, Kareem, LeBron, Magic, Bird, Duncan, Kobe, Steph, Hakeem, Shaq, Durant. Depending on the development of Pool, Kuminga, and Wiseman and how long guys like Dray and Klay can stay competitive, Steph might not be done.
  15. Reynolds Woodcock
    Patriots and/or Spurs, with Curry playing the role of Brady/Duncan. Different permutations of the franchise, with one all time great steadying force.

    Yep, insane. He’s been unreal. That said, this series is going 7. As you say, a long way to go.

    Your mom should have swallowed you, fuck face

    If you watch this game, and all you can do is bitch about refs, just quit watching the NBA.
  20. Reynolds Woodcock
    Hah, what an ending. I thought he didn’t get it off live. Steph was due a clunker, but the Ws need to get something from him points wise in the 4th to have a good shot.
  21. Reynolds Woodcock
    Ugly game so far. Warriors probably feel good to have an 8 point lead with Curry struggling thus far.
  22. Reynolds Woodcock
    Lol, you really need to give up, Skip.
  23. Reynolds Woodcock
    Curry has been outrageous in these finals. He might end up getting the LeBron 2017-18 treatment where an incendiary individual performance is outmatched by a better team, but fuck it’s impressive to watch. He’s doing this against probably the best all around defensive team in the league.
  24. Reynolds Woodcock
    I was listening to the Big Picture yesterday and they did a Top 5 Sandler episode. It’s surprisingly hard. Non negotiable for me are Punch Drunk Love and Billy Madison. Then I’d probably go Uncut Gems, Happy Gilmore and Wedding Singer, but tough leaving off Meyerowitz stores, and 10 year old me is pissed at leaving off Waterboy and Big Daddy.

    I expected BOS to win this series because of their defense. Not because they would match GS shot for shot. What a second half
