@PolymarketHoops Does that whole number hit the cap though since we drafted him and would be extending him?

After making the All-NBA team, Jalen Duren is now eligible to sign a five-year max deal with the Pistons worth $287.1M: 26-27: $49.5M 27-28: $53.5M 28-29: $57.4M 29-30: $61.4M 30-31: $65.3M That’s 30% of the cap 🤯

@DoeJumars I don’t think that whole number hits the cap though since we drafted him and are extending him

even if he turns out to be 20% of the cap...that sounds crazy to me. Seeing as we won't be getting more high picks to get good players on cheap deals. This basically means 1. Cade must stay healthy or you're a trash team, 2. You NEED him to be a #3 on offense at WORST. No thanks

@lmkifiwin I think it showed what we already knew. Most athletes at the Olympics aren’t clean

DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT JUST HAPPENED AT THE ENHANCED GAMES.. Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr. spent millions to create a steroid Olympics. They promised to "redefine human limits" and put up $25M in prize money. After 5 hours in Las Vegas, here’s the scoreboard: - 1 world record (not recognized by anyone) - Thor Björnsson failed his 515kg deadlift (managed only 475kg) - olympic sprinter Fred Kerley missed the 100m WR by 0.4s - without even taking drugs - the only "record" came from a Greek swimmer who finished 5th at Paris 2024. He wore a supersuit banned since 2009 and beat the clean record by just 0.07s the whole pitch was that drugs would shatter the limits of clean sport. instead they proved the gap between juiced and clean is now 7 hundredths of a second - in a suit banned 17 years ago. the only thing they actually proved was how good the clean athletes already are. You think the Enhanced Games exposed anything or just embarrassed themselves?

@GroschMark @colbygordon_ @VerdeCityLimits We are canceling. Section 313 it has been fun and I will still go to many games but I don’t need season tickets.

@colbygordon_ @VerdeCityLimits Yeah and even "shittier" for season ticket holders who will get yet another 7%+ cost adjustment

Austin FC forward Brandon Vazquez following the 3-0 loss to St. Louis that puts the club 14th in the West entering the World Cup break: "We're in a shitty moment."

@MsKristinCasey @Austin_Police Yeah. Move to the burbs or west of mopac

@Austin_Ag_1 @Austin_Police A full night's sleep is the literal foundation of good health. I'm a snowflake for trying to optimize my health in my 50s?

Pedimos a los miembros de la comunidad que se mantengan alerta y reporten cualquier actividad sospechosa. Ayúdenos a mantener nuestras calles seguras.

@MattATX81 @Austin_Police Tech optimism is tough. The things you listed do suck, Austin is still safer than most major US cities and is the safest of Texas’ four big cities. Big cities will always have more issues because they have more people. Below are the most violent cities regardless of size.

I'm not really a conservative. I'm also not a luddite. I'm just more tech optimistic. If it's "big government" to utilize tech that helps maintain public safety then so be it. Small town conservatives don't need Flock,etc. It's places like Austin where good people are forced to suffer fools taking over intersections, going on GTA style shooting sprees, and torching their public art that need it.

@GRANTTAYLOR1133 @Austin_Police I didn’t say it was harmless or that they shouldn’t face a consequence. They shouldn’t be shot….. honestly, you know they shouldn’t be shot

@Austin_Ag_1 @Austin_Police No FUCK THEM ! If they want to act lawless , let law take care of business. I know you think this harmless behavior, but it is not . Your little exercise in FU , deserves a FU 2. We are tired of you fucking punks shitting on our society. F U ! Honestly,

@zattroof @Austin_Police @johnnyk20001 They are getting flamed by trolls and bots…. Not regular citizens.

@Austin_Police @johnnyk20001 Why post this if you're going to get rightfully flamed by the citizenry?

@GRANTTAYLOR1133 @Austin_Police Shoot them? Geez. Communist

@Austin_Police Arrest all of them , shoot the resisters.FUCK THEM , TAKE BACK OUR CITY !!!

@MattATX81 @Austin_Police Conservatives wanting big government surveillance is wild

@Austin_Police But no we can't have license plate readers or flock cameras because people are worried about.... privacy in public spaces... and the risk of it being used to target... get this... illegal immigrants.

@MsKristinCasey @Austin_Police Snowflake

@Austin_Police If you're so concerned about illegal & unsafe drivers, please contact me to hear about the YEARS of insanity going on Friday & Saturday nights on Riverside Drive between S. 1st St and Lamar. Wakes up everyone who lives or stays in a hotel here, scares our pets, drives us nuts!

@kyanited @AngieCrid @LyleShelton Why would someone need privacy to wash hands.

@AngieCrid @LyleShelton Do the cubicles have a sink, too? Because that would be the only way to truly preserve privacy and dignity for women.

Just landed in the 🏳️‍🌈 utopia of Melbourne. No thinking person believes this is safe for girls and women. Send the weak and woke politicians who gave us this madness a message. Vote 🗳️ 1 Family First.

@rbullard @JTLonsdale A libertarian? Nah. You aren’t that

@JTLonsdale Amen. I'm in Travis county but not Austin. We (the Austin suburbs) are tired of the Austin city leadership, particularly the DA, soft on crime, out of control homelessness and progressive policy agendas. Enough. Time for the state to act.

For decades, we let progressives ruin great cities like Austin. We have a choice: do we blame voters and throw up our hands? Or do we use the TX Constitution to take more power from corrupt large cities, protect our kids, and clean up the mess? I'm going to choose the latter.

@elonmusk @JTLonsdale @Cernovich Conservatives supporting big government surveillance is wild….

@JTLonsdale @Cernovich One way or another, we need safe cities

@JackCraver Conservatives supporting big government surveillance is wild….

Surveillance tech investors made Austin great but now the hippies are ruining it.

@AustinChronicle Buncha NIMBYs. Old farts restricting advancement is why we are so far behind with other highways in Austin.

@KDorney122 @CaryCheshireTX @LindaG_RN @SecJaneNelson Liar. Racist. Bigot. Snowflake.

I think this is voter intimidation. There is no way I’d go in a mosque. I don’t believe it’s safe, I know I’m not allowed there as a rule. I believe it also violates my religious rights. And I have also never seen a church used for voting. I don’t think that is appropriate either.

BREAKING: TX Republican voters in Fort Bend County have alerted me that their county has set up a voting center at the Maryam Islamic Center which is advertised as "the biggest mosque in Houston." Why did @SecJaneNelson approve this!? #txlege

@CaryCheshireTX @SecJaneNelson Churches are commonly used as voting centers. Why is this a problem?

@BGOnTheScene Why are conservatives such snowflakes?

“If I lived in Texas, these mosques, they don’t need your approval. Burn ‘em to the f***ing ground” Jake Lang said in Texas on Tuesday during a Frisco City Council meeting
