Bob Myers is one of the most overrated GMs of all time in my book. -Drafted Draymond? No, that was Schlenk's work -Traded for Iguodala? No, Iguodala wanted to go to GS because of what Jackson built and the influence of Jerry West -Traded Monta for Bogut? Actually, they nearly traded Curry - Bucks turned it down due to Curry's ankle issues -Signed KD? Everyone knows it was the players who did the convincing After this period, Myers' work is pure clown stuff. 2016: Damion Jones 2018: Jacob Evans 2019: Paschall/Poole (Dunleavy's idea) 2020: Wiseman 2021: Kuminga/Moody 2022: Gui Santos (on Barbosa's advice) What is it that Myers himself did other than be absolutely horrible with draft picks (so clueless, he had to rely on Draymond's awful advice), ride the success created by others, believe KD was better than Curry and drafted like it, and wouldn't convince Lacob to draft for the now with a prime Curry after winning a title he didn't even see coming. Myers was a fraud.

@cblezbets Nope

I have this team at 500:1 to win it all. Is that good?

@benwfreeman1 @luanalopeslara @mansourtarek_ @Kalshi Congrats!

BIG NEWS: I’m joining the Kalshi team! My main goal is going to be growing Kalshi’s political / election markets in terms of visibility, volume, and influence, and showing the world why these markets are so important. This means that I have given up trading on Kalshi. While I loved being a trader and loved giving away “alpha” to my followers, I can no longer do so due to Kalshi’s policies. It was a hard tradeoff for sure. From my days of interning at the White House, starting my own election prediction Youtube channel, to starting trading on Kalshi’s election markets in October 2024, politics, and specifically predicting elections has always been my passion. Since starting tweeting in October 2025, I wanted to show a new audience of why I believe in the power of election prediction markets. I’ve 20x’ed my followers since starting then, and have had a blast doing it along the way with y’all. Now, my goal is to drive liquidity to these markets and make them a bigger part of the cultural zeitgeist and political landscape. Having very liquid, high volume political prediction markets makes our political system better. More accurate forecasts benefit traders and non-traders alike, and growth in political prediction markets translates into higher participation and interest in our political system, which is good for democracy. These markets are built on rationality and probabilistic thinking, which is desperately needed in today’s corrupted information environment. These markets can be incredibly useful for campaigns, political commentators, casual political viewers, fundraisers / bundlers, investors wanting to hedge political risk, investors wanting political exposure, small dollar campaign donors, academics, and everyone in between. Political prediction markets are for everyone. I’m really excited to be a part of the team that mainstreams these markets. Feel free to reach out to me, if you have any ideas on how to grow Kalshi’s political / election markets! Thank you, all!

@AceyRothstein @RealSKeshel Sorry you have to find out like this but Dems have recently and relatively recently held each of the NC seats and won the state at the presidential level.

@RealSKeshel I just don’t see it. We’ve been doing blue Carolina forever. Registration trends have Rs still growing in the state. And, not that you said it did, but anyone talking about Cooper approvals, means zero transferring to Senate. Bullock had 60% approval.

This is just political malpractice at this point, and embarrassing that people would buy a margin this wide. Whatley’s campaign should sue. With turnout equal to 2022, this pollster is alleging a margin of 700,000 votes. Absolutely stupid, and Nexus should be run out of business for this and the other fake trash they’ve been putting out everywhere. And for the record, I consider NC the most likely Senate seat for Dems to flip - but not anywhere near this margin.

@MuseZack Love a good Santa Maria rub but I promise you we are eating very delicious meats cooked every which way all up and down california

For Californians feeling left out of the barbecue bragging, a reminder that on the Central Coast we developed our own Santa Maria-style barbecue (seasoned tri-tip over oak) dating back to the mid-19th Century and it's pretty damn good.

@RudyHavenstein TDS always referred to the deranged people that treated T as a serious person instead of a dangerous lunatic.

After having joked about TDS for 9 years, I now find myself at a Keith Olbermann-level loathing of Trump 2.0 and his obsequious acolytes. Truly an amoral man. If you disagree, that’s fine with me. I’m used to people disagreeing with me.

@GaetenD Can I visit and check it out

This has been the unforeseen expense around my home theater system. I’ve bought almost 200 4k UHD movies since September. It makes a huge difference and if you have OLED+Dolby Atmos, it looks and sounds as good as the theater.

@GeorgeResch @mikealfred A then get married and have kids. Pretty easy

@mikealfred Who the hell would choose A

Imagine you had to choose your life at age 40: Option A: Single. No kids. $50M net worth. 850 credit score. Private jet. Option B: Married. 2 kids. $3M net worth. Drive a Toyota. 10 BTC in cold storage. 500 credit score. Fly Southwest. Be honest, which life are you choosing?

@WokeMitt Well on January 3 there's a fresh Congress and he isn't speaker

Call me a pessimist if you want, but I cannot imagine any scenario in which Mike Johnson peacefully hands over the gavel to a Democratic Speaker next January.

@TADStrange89 @KevP62 @musharbash_b If you take the job seriously you also travel throughout maine

@carnitastaco @KevP62 @musharbash_b Huh? You travel between two spots. Maine and DC

I really don't get this. Mills could easily have retired at the end of her governorship with a fine legacy. Even now, she could withdraw from the race, frame it as "passing the baton," and be remembered fondly for that. Instead, she insists on waging this knock-down, drag-out campaign for yet another office at 78-years-old — and with visibly flagging support to boot. Why? Just why?

@TADStrange89 @KevP62 @musharbash_b To be fair, the relevant question is which of them will be better at winning the seat, they're both going to be extremely similar if elected

@KevP62 @musharbash_b @carnitastaco Because I'm willing to let a two term governor who might be operating at 90-95% capacity be Senator? Compared to people who are willing to let an ex mercenary with no legislative experience and a Nazi tattoo be one?

@AmericanNumbers Woah since when are you so much higher on pistons than Celtics?

Nope. Because it's sequential. And Experience matters.

@TADStrange89 @KevP62 @musharbash_b Lol this is probably true. But still demands the question of why you'd prefer to live out your remaining years there instead of at vacation homes with friends and family.

@KevP62 @musharbash_b @carnitastaco Like you gotta be able to call balls and strikes but an 80 year old is safer on the Senate floor than their own home

@TADStrange89 @KevP62 @musharbash_b It kind of is, random hours, lots of travel, lots of people to please. And running for office is definitely demanding.

@KevP62 @musharbash_b @carnitastaco The Senate is not highly demanding lol

@ToneGully You can't coach attitude and temperament

Kuminga will be just fine. I don’t care what JK does this season. My focus on JK is next year. Once he adjust his game to Hawks ball he will be just fine. He isn’t healthy and I can’t wait til he gets a full offseason. IMO Quin and JK are trying to figure out his role on the fly.

@RipKoreem_ The 9 time champion coach probably isn't a moron

I’m not kidding this is the worst player in the nba and twitter an the media acted like the warriors committed murder

@CynicalPublius Current us leadership would instantly accept the jcpoa if it was reoffered

Barack Obama deliberately sought to make Iran a nuclear power. Consider what his intentions were in doing so.

@alaynatreene @Phoenix_Ranger2 Guess what? There's an easy way to open the Strait of Hormuz that won't get anyone killed. Stop bombing Iran and agree to leave the military bases in the Middle East. They are toast anyway. The US is safer without bases in the Middle East. It's been a huge point of contention.
