Today was a good day.

@TheCardinalArts Ironically, following their own rules would solve the biggest writing challenge of the series. How does the avatar not win every battle with ease if they have a cheat code avatar state?

One thing I didn't like about TLOK was the Avatar State retcons. The OG was a combination of every previous life boosting the current avatar, and that got thrown out to be Raava juice. If the cycle restarted, Korra shouldn't have an Avatar state. And Pavi's should be weak af lol

@R1ngtail Could you imagine If...

AFC West Top 10 Criteria was impact. So basically drafting all these players today with age not being a factor

@motionswago Angstrom and keep the change. If he can learn to stop gloating, there's nobody he can't just banish to the blender dimension

you've got $1000 build a squad to take on Thragg

@MarkW_E01 Of course you ask. Of course they say no.

Jazz fans: let’s say we land at 4, 5, or 6 after the lottery. Do you call up Denver and see if they want to do a Jokic for Kessler + picks trade?

@RKalland Can you include each horse's age to help distinguish?

@levelsio I'm glad my home is made of paper so it can constantly circulate air with the outside and keep my CO2 low

I still haven't solved the CO2 bedroom challenge You open the window and you wake up from a 6am garbage truck or barking dogs and sunlight You close it, you suffocate in 1200 ppl at 5am I guess you really need some mini tube in your wall with a vent that opens and closed based on internal CO2 but how do I build that?

@touisnotonfire Castlevania..

can someone tell me what this last one is

@Domo8186 The Nuggets aren't just -10, they've never once improved in the lottery. Sometimes they draft at the expected position, but never earlier

@Ben_Tmeyer Again, no way that's accurate. 4th worst team couldn't fall further than 8. With a 45% chance at a top 4, an average of 7.4 wouldn't make sense. Only the top 4 picks are currently lotteried. The rest are ordered by record. Your point isn't necessarily invalid but the math is off

@name2common4ths I’m saying 4th worst team has avg pick of 7.4 in new odds, and 1st worst team has avg pick of 8.1 in new odds

I think the new proposed "3-2-1" nba lottery is good While it is imperfect, it would be a huge improvement over the current format Here are my responses to some of the points criticism people have raised against it 🧵

@Ben_Tmeyer Nope. Worst team had 0% chance to fall past 5, how could the average be 7.4?

"Why are we now punishing bad teams?" It's not like they are losing their draft pick, their odds at a #1 pick only goes down slightly (+2.9%, the same difference between slot-8 & slot-9 in the current odds) and their average pick in the lottery only increases from 7.4 to 8.1

@ItzLamarSZN It's so bad. Let's say, hypothetically, the plan is executed perfectly. No team ever intentionally loses again. Now it's just a massive punishment to actually bad teams. What an incredible oversight

The entire point of a draft is to help bad teams get good players so they can improve. Sometimes, this is the ONLY way bad teams can improve because free agents aren’t choosing DC over LA. So WHY are we punishing the bad teams even more? Adam Silver is KILLING the NBA.

@jsimms1119 No player in the league I wanted to get his ring more than @jsimms1119. Clocked in right when the franchise went into decline and clocked out right as it's starting to get good again. Thanks for coming home to close the book, Broncos Country will never forget you!

What an honor. 10 years to the day…Thank you 🧡🙏🏽

@mauddweeb @gwoyeuromatzyh You should suggest she charge a few cents extra to cover the cost of more expensive ingredients

@gwoyeuromatzyh I have a friend who owns a coffee shop and she only has 3 yachts Tough economy

you literally are though... YOU set the prices. you can simply eat the loss and not have a fifth yacht

A perfect league wouldn't even need a draft lottery. And it doesn't have one. God bless the NFL!

@mcuban This is part of the problem. Traded firsts became so much more valuable, but the rule takes effect in 2027. All those assets traded before we knew what they were worth. The best team in the league getting even better as a result

When you flatten the odds, the number of trades will explode. It was impossible to know who would win the tankathon in the off season, and the leading tankers aren’t trading their picks at the deadline BUT you can have a good idea who isn’t a top 8 team in your conference. And teams will do everything they can to trade for their firsts. Get 2 non playoff firsts in a draft, and you have a good shot of having better odds than the bottom 3 this year. And even 2 picks at 5.4 pct each, makes you the equal of a tankathon 4 or 5 team. The question is what puts you in a position to trade for 1sts? Cap room at the deadline. Teams that were headed to the 2nd apron and needed saving. Give me that future first. Willingness to trade good players. Want my best player. We aren’t going anywhere this season. Give me that future first. I think the games to stay out of the bottom 3 will be fun. I think the protection limits are smart. Don’t want teams in the playin making decisions on draft vs win. But teams still have to figure out how to win and now, grabbing as many picks as possible, is the highest value approach Once you know you have the little c next to your team … can’t make the bottom 3, if it’s before the deadline, you can get aggressive If you don’t have a team you like, you make any trade that gets you a first. Just imagine if you have a good young team. But just not good enough to win a ring. And you believe the best player ever is coming this draft , you literally could trade your future firsts , plus your really good young , valued players and when combined with your own pick, or picks you already had, get 5 firsts that give you, with some luck , a 40.5 pct chance of winning the lottery. Still an almost 60 pct chance you won’t. But it sure would be interesting as it plays out. The good news for the nba, the bottom 3-2-1 is smart. The better news for Shams , the trade rumors are going to be off the charts as teams try to “aggregate up” to get the best odds they can

@TerranovaNoah It makes all trades picks more valuable. OKC must've launched the campaign to make this the rule

Adam Silver when OKC gets the first pick under the new lottery rules

@ShamsCharania The loser of the 7/8 game?!? Why is there an incentive to lose a play-in game, and why doesn't that incentivised loss at least eliminate you from winning a ring?!?!?

The "3-2-1 lottery" proposal, named to represent the number of lottery balls per team, would expand the lottery from 14 to 16 teams. Teams that do not qualify for the playoffs or play-in tournament but stay out of the relegation zone (spots four through 10) would receive three lottery balls each. Teams with a bottom-three record -- the relegation zone -- would have just two lottery balls but have a floor of the 12th pick while the rest of the 13 lottery teams could fall as far as the 16th pick. The 9th and 10th play-in seeds in each conference receive two lottery balls each while the losers of the 7-8 play-in games receive one lottery ball each. In addition, no team would be able to win the top pick in consecutive years or be able to win three consecutive top-five picks. Teams also would not be able to protect picks in the 12 to 15 slots going forward.

@xFlyGod Clearing the air... Yes Clingan is in the area and yes that negates 3 second. This was a general answer to a general question. It's legal in this situation, and that's the risk if you do it in others

@xFlyGod Yes, but wemby isn't an on-ball defender so he's risking a 3 second violation by doing this

Is it legal to help your teammate not get backed down? 🤔
