@RedNinetyFour Reed had better analytics. That's it. He had the best analytics in the draft. The nerds were saying he should've gone FIRST. Eye test matters

Just so curious to know what the internal deliberations truly were that led to Stone taking Reed over Castle. Because any way you slice it, what Castle is doing right now on the big stage is a complete embarrassment for the Rockets and their talent evaluation processes.
And I’m saying this as someone who thinks Reed can become a star in the right setting and still holding out hope that he can eventually become the better player when the dust settles. But that’s shaping up to be an extremely high bar. We just saw Castle close out the Wolves with 32-11-6 with 5 threes, while playing elite defense to send the Spurs to the WCF. Meanwhile, Ime Udoka doesn’t even trust Reed Sheppard to close out meaningless regular season games in January.
Complete failure by the Rockets organization from top to bottom.

The only person on the right I’ve seen acknowledge this fact is Tucker Carlson

President Trump's Iran war is pushing 45 million more people into hunger, particularly Africa, because of rising transport costs. It may turn out that the war will kill more children in Africa, through malnutrition, than in Iran. Thanks to @WFP for fighting to feed the hungry.

Obvious 2 and then I go Kawhi and Bob Mcadoo as our Mount Rushmore? IMO

@LeGunna_Doncic @DOC323123 I should say that Smart can playmake tho. And Dort CANNOT. OKC used to put him in the dunkers spot at times
English
@LeGunna_Doncic @DOC323123 I don't know man. I know he occasionally gets hot, but Dort is who everyone leaves to go double SGA or Williams. Maybe he will be like Smart and become more consistent
English
If I had to guess they decline the Dort team option and trade Joe/and or Wiggins for cheaper players. Then do and opt out and re-sign with Hart
JSM@JSMonYT
The Thunder currently have the highest payroll next season ($250.5M) and are nearly $30M over the 2nd apron, making it likely they salary dump a player(s) If you're the Lakers, would you put your cap space toward absorbing one of these 3 if OKC off-loads them? A. Lu Dort ($18.2M team option) B. Caruso C. Isaiah Hartenstein ($28M team option) Full breakdown here - youtube.com/watch?v=rwKHc2…
English
@LeGunna_Doncic @DOC323123 Not at all. He's slow and can't dribble or shoot. Lakers need athletic players with wing size. Wiggins is intriguing tho
English
@DOC323123 If they decline Dort team option it’s a no brainer for the lakers

Briahna herself has admitted she hasn’t voted for a democrat for president since 2008; so when 2028 comes around that mark 20 years that she hasn’t voted for a democrat yet here she is being a commentator on democratic politics. At what point do you just go away??

Briahna Joy Gray: "I know many, you know, people on the left who would happily vote for Tucker Carlson before AOC. I am frustrated by that dynamic because I, you know, I don't want Tucker Carlson to be President, I also can't see myself damaging my own credibility by telling someone to vote for AOC."

If it wasn’t apparent before, Bri Joy Gray is an absolute psyop. Either she’s a paid operative trying to divide the left and help Republicans electorally, or she’s genuinely just the dumbest fucking person to ever exist.
You aren’t on the “left” if you think a Tucker vs AOC election is a tough decision.
I just know Bernie regrets ever hiring her. Lmao. One of his worst decisions ever!

@JeTbfp @LakerCentral365 @DOC323123 I agree man. Suggs shot Orlando out of that series in the end. Not even close bricks too.
English
@LakerCentral365 @DOC323123 I understand the concept I just don’t know if I’m trusting him to be on the court for us to spend that amount of money
English
Yall have lost your mind if you don’t jump at a chance to get off Vando and Knect for Jalen Suggs
Lemon Pepper Lou@LVstackiN
That's a lot of money for a role player averaging 14ppg. Vando at worst still is a fraction of this cost
English
@DionApollo And kill the offense. I don't want Dort. He's slow, he can't dribble, and he can't shoot well enough. He's not worth what he's paid.
English
Lakers adding Dort with Marcus Smart would level up the Lakers defense and hustle overnight

@_TheSmartAlec1 Ehh depends. Some said Soldier Boy is involved and he's not. Some said Deep gets killed by sea creatures and that doesn't look likely.

@AnthonyIrwinLA I like him! 2 mascots? Silly. Ineligible players traveling? Waste. Late checkouts? Is this what we wanna teach the youngins! El Cheapo got it all figured out. Let the Lakers do those things!

@VoughtCrave It's also dumb cause as the show points out, Homelander can see into his mask
English
Eric Kripke on why they knew early on they wouldn’t be adapting the infamous Black Noir twist:
“In the comics, [Black Noir is] a clone of Homelander this entire time and is actually the one doing all these horrific things. And again, it's a hell of a twist. But it's like, ‘well, wait, the villain I've been following isn't really the villain?’ And mileage varies, and I'm sure fans are mad I'm not going that way, but that felt not as satisfying to me. I'm like, if I'm going to follow this villain, I want this guy to be the villain. So, I was never really into the clone idea."
English
@GMachine99 @ReviveMarc They will cause they aren't paying anyone else. They can always trade one later
English
@ReviveMarc Kessler ? Like I can’t imagine UTA paying him + JJJ n Lauri w Keyonte and the 2nd pic
English
@Rome_Beast @RatioNChill Him and Hayes would be a good balance at center. These ppl hoping into Kessler and Duren are delusional. Their current teams have all the control. Even with Watson to an extent.
English
@RatioNChill don’t get me wrong i think he 1000% can help the right contenders (boston detroit houston etc)
but luka likes to play a certain type of basketball not sure how myles fits into dat
English
myles turner is not washed he’s just in a terrible situation on an overpaid contract
giannis just missed most the season and he had no real creators out there to play off of
as for the lakers i dont see how he fits here at all
Tom@TAizenberg
Myles Turner made sense when we had AD. Not now when he’s washed and we have Luka

Reading this headline you’d think Yale admitted 50 or 100 or 1000 black medical students. It is the grand total of 44 black students compared to 100s of Asian and White students that has caused this furor. Sending hugs to all black students who will suffer abuse.

Breaking News: The Justice Department accused the Yale School of Medicine of discriminating against white and Asian applicants. It's the second time in eight days that the Trump administration had targeted a major medical school over admissions policies. nyti.ms/42B6v20

People legit polarized on this trade that’s interesting…
D.O.C@DOC323123
Lakers fans, would you do Ayton, Knecht, the 31 first top 4 protected, and a 28 swap for a S&T with Duren on a 4/150 contract?
English
@Baldmojito They may go the trades route. Have 3 picks to deal and salaries with Knecht, Vando, LaRavia, maybe Ayton
English
Likely means only way to improve is vet min signings or trades thats about it
Victor Croward@VictorCroward24
@Baldmojito Let’s say we do this. Go over cap re-sign Rui/Luke. MLE to Smart. Hayes vet min. Extend AR. Ayton opts in. So running it back with a more bloated payroll relying on pick 25, vet min adds and smaller trades to get them to next level while paying 42 yr old Bron huge $? 🤮
