So instead of playing wait and see, jump into the trade market and upgrade your team early to maximize your playoff chances.

This season it probably makes the most sense for eastern conference teams with the playoff race so tight and no fear of a tough COL/DAL in the first round.

Typically teams wait until the trade deadline to evaluate if they are truly in a playoff race and to maximize accrued cap space. However, accrued cap space is less valuable with the new playoff salary cap rules and with the higher salary cap more playoff contenders have excess cap space.

A bit unfair. Danault is a former 50 point elite defensive center and Kampf is a former 25 point good defensive center. There is some risk that Danault's career has in fact fallen off a cliff and unable to be resurrected, but if his career can be resurrected it'll be a good trade for Montreal.

I think he might be just be reading all his posts from the past year.

Carney's leadership is proving to be a problem for Poilievre.

Good point. I was going to just have them on team pages but a tool to quickly switch between teams or directly compare teams would be useful. I am going to incorporate them into pre-game matchup reports as well.

My concern is Carolina is a pretty good team but shows more red than blue when presented like this.

I did try this early on. There are things I like about it but I wasn't sold on it. But it may be growing on me now (I just need to change the red dot to a different color).

My personal opinion is there probably is a role for AI in content creation, for content where every detail being 100% accurate and being truly original doesn't matter.

However the AI industry (and society) absolutely does have to address the concerns of creators having their works of art copied.

What I think Cuban (and others) fail to see is that for the artistic creator, every stroke of the paint brush matters. Every detail matters. While AI may speed up the process, AI may not offer the granularity/subtlety that an artistic creator wants, or the joy they get from the creative journey.

I know it is short form social media, but we can all be better than this. Don't just be angry and yell, contribute to the discussion constructively.
December 15, 2025 at 3:42 PM
Then you have Robert who instead of explaining to Cuban why creators don't think that using AI isn't true creative art, he resorts to personal attacks which may make Robert feel personally powerful but offers nothing of value and just makes everyone hate everyone else more.

The location of 16 isn't uniform across all the metrics. The scale is from the worst team to the best team and the grey dots represent where every team sits within that range with the red dot representing the team of interest. The color bar is for emphasis so i could even use a uniform color bar.

Yes, should be xGA. Thanks.

19 for me. I never had an AOL account. I took a 'Keyboarding' class in grade 9 where they taught you type using typewriters.
