  1. If they play Denver is a series, the losing teams in the games might have in the 130's.
  2. They're not making a run this year at all. The Luka trade was all about the future and they're set up very well. This current roster is horrible on defense. Like maybe worst in the league or at least among all of the playoff teams. The Williams trade would have helped but they probably dodged a bullet there, to be honest. He's just never healthy for one reason or another.
  3. Right, OKC is probably 1.5 seasons out, but they won't be able to keep the band together, either. Nobody can under this CBA. I think that's the case with every good team. I'm not an expert on the CBA aprons but I do know the days of 3 max guys are over. Stars can still get as much as they were getting before but the max is higher. Long term winning likely means 2 or 3 guys taking below max (still in the $40-$50M range, mind you) and then supplementing them with other players. Will guys forego a max money deal to do that? We'll see. My guess is some will and some won't. You'll still have guys like Dame that take a max deal and then complain they can't win. As for OKC, they'll keep their core 3-4. (Hartenstein might be included in that. He's a perfect mix for them.) SGA will get the most and Jalen and Chet will get a little less. I can definitely see SGA taking less to keep better players. All that dude cares about is basketball and winning to the point he's boring. I could never see him schlepping away on some 40 win team just for more money. Past those 4, they have a really good and young roster on some very team favorable contracts. They'll likely keep a few of them but they're all great trade assets combined with the 95 draft picks they have in the next few years. My guess is they trade most of those guys at some point and eventually replace everyone with high draft picks. They young player they have with the biggest upside is probably Cason Wallace. Dude is a legit elite wing defender, defends 3 positions, good but still improving shooter. He'll never get the points on this OKC team but he could easily be a borderline All Star on a lesser team. It'll be interesting to see what they do with him.
  4. They weren't really established, though. It'll be a good case study in a company that kind of got lucky with good timing on a consumer trend. Western wear is in style every 10-15 years or so and they got the timing right.
  5. And the worst part is that there is a >0% chance that Walters is the next governor.
  6. More Tecovas:
  7. I guess this goes here. Big shock to me here is that Kid Rock is only 54? He looks like hammered shit: Page Six spies spotted Kid Rock and Rep. Lauren Boebert getting into a cab together in Washington, DC, at 2:30 a.m. as the parties celebrating the beginning of Donald Trump’s second term wound down. https://pagesix.com/2025/02/11/celebrity-news/rep-lauren-boebert-spotted-getting-into-cab-with-kid-rock-at-2-30-a-m/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=pagesix
  8. Yeah, why not keep Pascal? They play the same position, have about the same states and both miss about 1/3 of the games with injuries. But yes, a third of these teams are stunningly bad and these deals aren't hindsight, either. Ingram got totally worked by Dort in last years playoffs, hasn't played since December or something and Toronto trades for him and gives him a big new contract.
  9. Well, duh. Lioness Season One was pretty good and not cartel obsessed at all but Season Two Episode One was right back to the wheelhouse.
  10. That is an insult to actual whores and I'll have none of it. Likely this. The idea that a sitting Congresswoman was kidnapped and raped and/or trafficked and we never heard about it is completely insane.
  11. Dallas Mavericks star Anthony Davis is expected to miss multiple weeks with a left adductor strain, sources tell ESPN. His absence could stretch to a month. https://x.com/ShamsCharania/status/1888776138878513639
