  1. Good thread, tough one to answer. I only feel confident in Tim Duncan not belonging on this list. There's a good argument for Bird. Leaning that way right now.
  2. No Alpi & FVV, and Jalen had an off night. Great overall effort but Ime needs to get these guys more locked in on defense in the 4th quarter. No reason to panic right now.
  3. Why would we even consider bringing back Diggs? Didn't he tear his ACL?
  4. So frustrating to see the talking heads on ESPN ignore this aspect. They snuck up behind their own franchise player and stabbed him in the back.
  5. I watched some of Nico Harrison's PC from yesterday. First time I've seen him speak. Did not get the impression that this guy is some sort of Alpha GM who confidently made this deal. He seemed completely unprepared for reporter questions and lacked any thoughtfulness or understanding of the gravity of the situation.
  6. I'm a Rockets fan. I don't like the Mavs, but this is bullshit and I feel for their fanbase.
  7. I could see Dallas ownership saying to Nico "Trade Luka. Keep it quiet." The secretiveness is the key here. Not letting other teams join the trade talks is clear malpractice. You don't do that as a GM unless ordered to IMO. So Nico has a directive, and contacts to the only GM he knows he can trust, someone he's had a relationship with for many years. I'd guess their plan is to tear it all down and start over after 2026 season. Whether that's to move the team or sell it or whatever, I don't know.
  8. 5 rings and still a lot of aggie energy from Spurs fans on here. Good grief.
  9. Making America Great Again by letting a civilian immigrant run the country.
  10. You're free to interpret that in a way that gets your rocks off, but I stand by it. The Lebron sweepstakes to Miami hurt the NBA. Not blaming him, not even saying he was wrong to leave Cleveland. But it changed everything and IMO basketball fans are the ones that took it on the chin. Fans are loyal and they like loyalty. This Luka situation is different though. The organization abandoned their fanbase. Per reports so far, this deal was apparently done in secret and blindsided everyone involved except for the 2 GMs. It's incredibly disrespectful and unprofessional to everyone else involved, including the fans. This shit will linger.
  11. This situation is so gross and so cynical. It will hurt the NBA in general. Fuck the Dallas GM and their ownership group.
  12. Now hearing rumors that Musk is going to buy the Cowboys, change their name to the ProudBoys, then exit the NFL and turn them into a StarCraft Esports team.
  13. I mean, I wouldn't trade Amen Thompson for what Dallas got in return for Luka.
  14. Which brings into question if not wanting to pay him is the "only realistic conclusion".
  15. Congrats to the DFW area Trumpers that are watching Miriam Adelson destroy the Mavericks in real time.
  16. I just saw this news. Ho. Lee. Shit.
  17. Is the trial set for March 2026 or something like that? Assuming Lively has no other evidence in her back pocket, they have to consider moving to a settlement. Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift are not gonna want the bad press for another full year and you know their PR people want this to go away ASAP. But I'd guess Baldoni's team won't want to settle without a clear, full apology from Lively that exonerates him from any wrongdoing. And a fuckload of money. Gonna be interesting.
  18. Bump. This might be the best worst OP in Surly history.
  19. "That looks like a massive impact. Hope the road is okay."
  20. Also loved that he made sure people knew Silas Bolden is a badass.
  21. Looks like Arch is on a mini press run after his partnership with Red Bull. Here's a more lighthearted interview.
  22. Trump and his administration have blood on their hands. Probably waiting to see if any of the deceased are immigrants before they can high five each other.
