I was so delighted to be able to take my four year old to Antonio's on a visit this summer. My go-to was always the buffalo chicken (or else the ground beef pepperoni)

You wouldn't say it's creating a lot of INTERESTING trades, just glorified salary dumps and players who want out

So far i think this is the wrong way to look at it. Yes, some big names are moving but it's mostly players who are still good but aging and making a lot of money on teams that no longer think they're going to win anything. So it's a very particular kind of trade

I always felt that what some people liked most about The Process was what people like most about being commitment phobes in other parts of their lives, you can always just hope, never settle

through draft picks are a lot lower than they might seem. You can of course build a team that better fits Coop's developmental timeline.

I'd be happy for the Mavs to trade Anthony Davis because he can't stay healthy and there's no way that gets better after he signs his next big contract but a lot of people always wildly overrate what draft picks can do for you, too. The odds that you can build a better team than Coop-AD-Kyrie

Mmhmmm
it's the sports equivalent of how no one wants to just build a successful business that turns a little profit and exists in its lane. you must always be promising something new, bigger and better on the horizon.

But also because I think a lot of them feel that trading it all to win a championship next year wouldn't be worth it compared to positioning yourself to potentially win for ten years even if "potentially" is doing a lot of work.

But the other is that I really think in my lifetime the paradigm teams are going for has shifted, where the ideal isn't adding a mid-career star, it's building something that's probably impossible, a dynasty that last for a decade. Teams want draft picks for financial reasons

All the potential trades, Giannis, Anthony Davis, Ja, Trae Young already traded, JJJ just traded, you know it just goes to show two things. One is just practical, the economic realities of the NBA are such that having an aging, expensive star makes it really hard to get help for said star

The primary voters will decide who the candidate is, that will be either good or bad for the party's fortunes, thank you

One way following politics has changed for me over the last few years is I no longer have any interest in the three dimensional chess of so and so is electable, so and so isn't, which comes from the same place as thinking that Dems lose because I don't post positively enough about them

I mean I always like it when teams try to win and JJJ and Markannen sounds pretty cool

So the Jazz are....trying to win? Weren't they tanking literally this year? Why would you trade 3 first round picks under those cicumstances?

Again it’s fascinating how VAs senators are just taking turns
ice is killing americans and democrats are still voting for trump's nominees
By a vote of 54-40, the #Senate confirmed the nomination of David Clay Fowlkes to be United States District Judge for the Western District of Arkansas.
Dems voting in favor: Durbin, Hassan, Kaine, Shaheen, and Whitehouse.

Again a through line in this administration is that they make the explicit argument that they shouldn’t have to follow laws that impede them

The groundhog saw its shadow today, but why did he also see me naked. Why did he watch me bathe? Why didn’t he say anything?

The replies to post about why your ancestors came here are consistently grim when it comes to us Jewish folk makes you think about how important having a nation that is not horrifyingly brutal to all non-South African white immigrants might be

One of the things that every normal Dem is experiencing during the Trump years is that Trump people wake up every day to try new things to make your life worse and it makes it all the more obvious that the idea that the Dems can't do literally anything they don't have votes for in the Senate sucks
Incrementalists take it on the chin again. This is why they hate Mamdani. He's giving up the game that people in power HAVE POWER and don't solely exist to beg you for $5 every day. He's ruining the Democratic Party by showing voters that they have the power to do stuff instead of crouching in fear
Incredible contrast between this and Keir Starmer running a delivery driver over
