I like Dame and feel like if he had gone about this better he would’ve came out with minimal hate but waiting until after the grant deal, only wanting to be dealt to Miami, and now threatening to sit out is a bit much.

Like he’s earned a bit of choice in wanting to go to a contender with all he’s done for Portland but if you force yourself out this kind of way you burn up your goodwill pretty quick

Yeah it was the one platform they were optimistic about.

Think they were right on the short term issues but we’re already starting to see apps developed and make the signup easier for less tech savvy people so I think we’ll see more and more come.

Also helps that Twitter and Reddit did their changes around the same time so more people are willing to move since others are as well.

Think Monty is still a huge outlier. Decent coach, maybe top 1/3 in the league even but to be near pop is crazy.

Feels a bit high but he was a part of the ring and they can’t replace him if he leaves so not bad. Hoping for a Nuggets v Bucks final!

Don’t think that’s quite enough but think your on the right track with OKC being the 3rd team. They’re already having the issue of having too many picks and herro matches the timeline they have so it makes sense for them to be involved.

Mark Jackson better be next. Literally would rather just not have announcers when he’s on.

Same but can’t blame the guy for getting the bag. Think he’s only made like $15M for his whole career so far so hard to turn down 3x that for 2 years.

Years ago it was what /r/NBADiscussion was at it's best. More in depth analysis and people actually caring about the game along with cool things like the 3 point shooting challenge, the playoff mascot art, etc. Now it's 95% the drama, don't get me wrong trade season is fun but it feels like most of that sub doesn't even like to watch basketball.

I agree unmatched is a really fun option. There’s even a digital version that was recently released which is an easy way to try it out to see if you’d want to get the physical sets. Think there’s fan created rules online for a 3 person match if you don’t have 4.

Damn 2/5 weeks back after this month long break are breaks :( though knowing oda they’ll be straight fire and worth it

Think Bruce brown was a great pickup to go with Hali, will definitely miss him on the nuggets. Think they make the playoffs baring any injuries and Hali has potential to make all nba in the coming years

Edit: Spelling

Definitely needed, really feel like they shouldn’t lose it at all if they keep winning. I know others disagree but I don’t care if it makes the game a bit longer I’d rather get the calls right.

Unless the minimum agents they get are good good I still would give Nuggets the edge. Booker was shooting absurdly lights out in their 2 wins this year. KD wasn't himself having to come right back from injury and didn't get a lot of time with the team so I expect he'll do better and booker will improve but the Nuggets likely get better as well. Nuggets are all just entering their prime and the core (besides Bruce) is under contract for another 2 years at least and Bruce even hinted at returning at the parade. Unless the suns get insane value back for Ayton I just think the Suns don't have the defense or good enough 5-8 to offset that.

I’d be down to moderate. Love the nuggets and talking basketball so would be willing to put the work in!

RIP was on Reddit for over 10 years and Apollo was a big reason why. Sad to see what it’s become now but excited for Lemmy to take off

We've got the core (besides Bruce) for at least another 2 years. As long as everyone stays healthy I see this team having dynasty potential in part due to how solid there defense is. Team is just entering their prime too so I expect to see them to improve as well.

I think it’s pretty clear at this point the only actual solution is going to be expanding the court or otherwise removing these illegitimate judges. Until that happens things will continue to get worse as this country spirals.

At least it’s a team option for the 2nd year for brown so pretty low risk if it doesn’t work out too!

35% in a week is pretty good. I feel like from here we’ll see steady growth and continue building and when Reddit inevitably kills oldreddit we’ll get a big influx and be ready for it.
