  1. I wasn't super pumped in the signing but that does make it seem like a big get in that context. Thanks for that perspective.
  2. Yeah and one of the biggest differences with Shadeur is that he is already older. He's 22 years old. I don't think you are gonna see Deion running the kids life.
  3. I'm not trying to say that he didn't fug them up at that time. No doubt he did ans long before that too. But at least for Lamelo and LiAngelo, they seem to be fairly well adjusted and not head cases. I am not sure I buy into this theory he ruined their lives. No doubt his insanity was a net detriment, even in the long run.
  4. I mean, they are grown adults. Two of them with a ton of money. Their father is only capable of "ruining" them if they let him. Every person has the choice when you become an adult to cut that umbilical cord. I don't really see obvious signs that is an issue with Lonzo or Lamelo.
  5. Yes. They have slowly built a monopoly that USED to be illegal to own but our wonderful legislative branch opted to take the money and run many years back. It's incredibly fuged and they literally have unsavory intent in building the empire they have.
  6. Yeah, that is some Fitterer garbage with that trade. Terrible.
  7. I hope Sinclair dramatically collapses. The local news monopoly is super fuged up and I don’t think the average viewer is aware of it.
  8. I think that will end up being overblown. That isn't something I would put a lot of thought into as a GM. If he is level headed as a person, I don't care much about Primetime. If not, that's a different story. The one thing you have will to contend with is that the media is going to hound Deion for clickbait quotes about his son. So that circus might get tiresome but that isn't likely to impact the locker room unless Shadeur lets it.
  9. Sanders is definitely a good prospect, I think the actual argument is whether he is a great prospect.
  10. Lonzo had a lower ceiling than Lamelo and the middle brother had the lowest ceiling. It all ended up likely the way it would end up anyway. Lonzo will have a good career as a journeyman and be financially set. Lamelo could become a star player eventually.
  11. It will be their stores(they will get Google for this too with Play) and the software they natively install. That's what they got Microsoft for a while back.
  12. The RSN situation was dramatically flubbed by Bally.
  13. Do you mean over the air radio or paid radio/streaming services? Also, I am not sure I would call that a 1 to 1 comparison with subscription cable/TV.
  14. It's a more free way to communicate and it gives everyone a chance to be a voice. So, in truth it is very much closer to anarchy than anything else, hence what you see. It's a double edged sword. You are less likely to be brainwashed by the common narrative a few large companies are pushing, but you are much more likely to be impacted by some unmedicated nutcase that now has a platform and is sucking people into their black hole of mental instability. I say it is indeed a net negative but the paradigm shifted because of the greed of the companies controlling media. They didn't listen to the consumers so now they will fade into a position of far less relevance than before.
  15. You do realize that not every player views the world the way you do, right? These are ultimately business decisions. Otherwise, why on earth would anyone want to go to Green Bay, Wisconsin or Jacksonville, FL?
  16. In fairness, this was the case with the Ball kids and outside the media making it a circus it had very little impact on their NBA careers. TBH, this is a media creation and nothing else. If they are difficult to deal with has players(which those enter the league every cycle) it will be known and they will drop accordingly. Also, take with a grain of salt that it's Deion talkikg for two legal adults that may or may not share his views on this.
  17. We just need to stay hot and healthy. I think this is our year.
  18. I hope the Leafs run through the Atlantic. Would love to see them in the playoffs
  19. Every time Weekes does our games he makes a Glenwood Ave. reference.
  20. That generation can't see what is coming because they can't fathom it. Despite the fact that social media advertising revenue is insanely higher than TV ad revenue. But....the status quo will always remain. Riiiight.
  21. Remember when housing prices were going to go up forever?
