@BillyReinhardt Why would it matter if you are 2nd or 3rd, if odds are the same for bottom 3 teams?

Utah is up 30+ on Memphis. Sacramento is up 10+ on Golden State.
If both scores hold, Brooklyn would clinch maximum odds and a top-3 slot in the draft lottery this evening.
From there, the only thing to play for Sunday would be the slight hope of tying Indiana for the second worst record.

Brooklyn loses to Milwaukee. The Nets’ season finale is Sunday in Toronto. If the Nets lose that game — a game Toronto must win to avoid the play-in — they will clinch max odds for the #1 overall pick/top-4 pick in the ‘26 NBA Draft. One more game until BKN’s two-year tank is complete.

You don't need a full Bitcoin to retire by 2030.
If you bought just $1 a day since 2017, you'd have 0.33 Bitcoin today.
That 0.33 Bitcoin could let you retire by April 2030 on $50,000 a year.
How much Bitcoin do YOU need? Full breakdown 👇

What if one decision this Ramadan benefited you for the rest of your life?
Last year, by the grace of Allah, we launched Chaptrs: the world’s first audiobook platform created specifically for Muslims.
Over half a million Muslims are now listening to books, on the go, that actually benefit them.
To celebrate this success, this Ramadan, Chaptrs is opening a special opportunity to become a Founding Member through a lifetime membership.
With a one-time payment, you receive access to all current and all future audiobooks on Chaptrs.
That’s an entire library filled with:
* Self-development for Muslims
* Islamic history
* Seerah
* Even kids audiobooks so the whole family can benefit.
And if you want to go the extra mile this Ramadan, you can turn this into ṣadaqah jāriyah.
After popular demand, there is also an option to “play it forward” and sponsor other people’s memberships. So many people yearn to seek and implement their knowledge, so gain reward for every time they listen and benefit.
There are a limited number of lifetime memberships available.
May Allah place barakah in knowledge that is shared, and reward those who support it.
Link for lifetime access in comments!

Ok folks – back by popular demand… the 2025 Edition of my "Bitcoin 101 cheat sheet"!
Great for beginners, skeptics, family, friends, or handing out anywhere.
This year, I designed to be printed front and back - it’s the cleanest and most complete explainer I’ve ever seen:
- Front = What Bitcoin is, why it matters, how to get started
- Back = Short explainers of mining, halving, difficulty adjustment + answers to critiques and more
I really wanted to capture what makes Bitcoin work - and why it keeps running with no CEO, no company, and no second chance 😉
Comment PDF below and I'll send you the link to the free high-quality PDF
- and no it does not come with free bitcoin - so do not ask

Smitty's Bitcoin Retirement Guide: e-Book Edition 📙
*Only here on X*
The wait is finally over - you're going to want to bookmark this.
- - -
🧵Thread👇
Without detailing the exact instructions on how to use the guide, this time around, I will explain the important changes - and from there, please engage, share, and enjoy!
1) Updated Model: This is a critical solution, and I'll explain why. Rather than using the median (50th quantile) power regression model, as was used in previous versions, Smitty's e-Book uses the 5th quantile. Why? Statistically, theoretically, this ensures that 95% of the time the desired annual withdrawal rate (living/spending costs) will not need to be down-adjusted due to volatility - because by definition, only 5% of the price falls below this 'support' line (see my other models). Therefore, you should only expect to need to down-adjust roughly once in 20 years. This makes this e-Book version more conservative, while maintaining realism and (clearly) attainability of stacking targets (see the various pages).
2) e-Book Format: I'm only posting these to X for now; but since in the past there has been so much positive engagement, I wanted to keep the overall 'brand' while enhancing the stylings so that it feels like an easy mini reader for folks comparing spending/stacking scenarios for retirement. It is also high DPI, now with nice borders, headers/footers and even page numbers. Feel free to print out and make a physical copy, or choose your favorite scenario, laminate and post on the wall.
3) Table addition: I've been meaning to include this change for a while. Not all of us are graphic/visually inclined, and indeed many of us are table/spreadsheet inclined. Therefore, below the graphs, I added easy-to-read look-up tables which exactly map to the Retirement Years and Current Age from the graphs, along with exact color-matching according to Current Age. No more needing to follow lines and line intersections; should also help for the visually impaired.

As always, the key assumptions in the guide to remember:
1*Assumed 7% annual inflation rate going forward (not easy to predict but historical expansion has been pretty close to this).
2*Taxes not accounted for - tax policy is too variable and too liable to change in any given year - please do your own homework for your own situation.
3*You're living to 100 (or at least planning your conservative BTC spend-down plan out to that age).

So, as always, flip through the replies in this thread, and enjoy the new tool!

@brooklynnets85 Would only be for a year and then flip him as an expiry for another star. Anyway, not a fan…
English
@BKN_NETS_HOPE That’s almost too destructive for the Nets to take on. Can’t afford to take on a max contract injured player
English
A few things...
- Whether Nets fans wanna admit it or not the Giannis thing is a real possibility
- I personally prefer to stay away and go the methodical draft route
- The Nets will most likely be on Giannis' list, and I expect smoke around that to escalate soon
- The Nets can beat almost any offer if they truly want to, their quantity of picks is huge compared to other potential suitors which can be used in more ways than sending them straight to MIL, just a matter of how far they want to go (hopefully not very far)... Nets also easy to do a deal with due to cap flexibility
English
@brooklynnets85 True, but dont see worse money than Dame, especially if Giannis is gone and Mil is on full rebuild. But definitely plenty of options.
English
@BKN_NETS_HOPE Or take on a third teams bad money which frees them up to send more assets to MIL that aren’t Nets ones

Williams playing just 85 games over three seasons is the very definition of failure to satisfy a condition.

The Lakers say the trade was rescinded because of the Hornets' failure to satisfy a condition of the trade.
