The only way a team that thinks they can get Giannis trades with the Bucks is if the '31 or '32 FRPs are involved and they think they can just offer them back to us when Giannis is available.

If Giannis is leaving, I actually think you still do this. The Bucks don't have a first in '27 or '29 at all. They have one in '28 that will likely be #29 or #30. I'd rather kickoff the rebuild with 3-4 picks in the next two drafts than be totally in the wilderness until 2031.
January 16, 2026 at 4:37 PM
ie, I'd rather Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, PJ Washington, and Herb Jones instead of *just* Trey Murphy or Darius Garland or Markkanen.

If Giannis is staying, I think we have seen that this roster is not one star away. It's going to take a total overhaul. I think the team is better off next season with 3-4 guys who are worth mid-firsts or seconds instead of one big move that is deserving of the unprotected '31 FRP.
January 16, 2026 at 4:37 PM
I'm coming around to the idea of breaking up the '31 FRP into pieces I think.

Just a few more assistants man. Just add a third row of coaches and it’ll work.

Almost worse, @startribune.com is quoting from it, but removing the unhinged sounding parts. If you’re going to publish it, publish it whole so people see it’s fucking insane!
WHY are news stations reading DHS statements out loud as if they have ANY credibility at all? They literally murdered a woman in cold blood LAST WEEK and are still lying about what happened, even though we can see what happened. That any credibility would be given to their statement is insane

Heat can't even trade a pick until 2029. Best case scenario I think is getting all expiring money back and then selling our cap space in the off-season to get more picks. Best!

God I despise anything Miami can offer.

Jump scare given how this off-season is going for the Loons.

Yeah, I've shifted. It's time. Horst or Edens or whoever needs to put the big boy pants on and trade him to Atlanta or Houston or whatever.

seeing my browser pop up a menu for "mocktails" featuring the Not-So-Hoppy Hammock as a nightstick reins blows on my skull
I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer’s name, badge number, and law enforcement agency.

ICE should be unmasked both physically and digitally.

We also don't hear much about how Doug Christie or Brian Keefe are bad.
January 14, 2026 at 4:29 PM
tbf, the other thing that separates that list is that they either exclusively talk about the Bucks (Nehm) or are some of the best at covering the WHOLE league.

The other piece of this is that the Bucks are bad so there's just no reason to talk about much besides Giannis leaving in nat'l media.
January 14, 2026 at 4:29 PM
The few folks I have heard really go in on Doc's coaching have been Nehm (Athletic), Sam Vecenie (Athletic), Caitlin Cooper (indy), and Hardwood Knocks (indy).
January 14, 2026 at 4:24 PM
Haven't listened yet so they might bring this up, but I don't even think it's that much a conspiracy theory to say that a lot of NBA discourse is driven by ESPN and The Ringer and those are the two places he probably will be working at (god willing) by October.

A tale of two fan bases after that game lol (cc @jonkrawczynski.bsky.social)

Can’t stop laughing at this post on the home improvement subreddit

I don’t know enough to know what specifically is going wrong, but the number of times AJ *starts* a possession on their PF is definitely wrong! Noticed it last game too.

Listening to a great interview with Boxall on @soccerwisehq.bsky.social and I’ll just say his comments on Dayne weren’t exactly effusive with praise lol

“immigration crackdown” when the woman being hauled away in the photo is a US citizen who was driving to a doctors appointment.
As the Trump administration escalates its immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, arrests and aggressive tactics by ICE and the Border Patrol, many seen on viral videos, have intensified the frustration and fear among residents, business owners and immigrant workers. trib.al/zVm2mk5

As I was being tailgated down W. River Parkway by a large SUV with tinted windows, the thought occurred to me that it might help if everyone drives a bit slower. Gives observers more time to identify feds.

We have a 20 MPH speed limit on residential streets, let’s weaponize it
