I'm so lost on all these transactions. I hope we're not keeping Riddnour, who was just traded to Memphis yesterday for fugs sake.

We made this trade because the Barnes deal is guaranteed, Luke isn't, so he'll be released unless he gets moved to OKC for Lamb and cut there.

Remember the report was that we would acquire Lamb via Barnes but Barnes would not be going to OKC. That could mean OKC is moving Lamb for Ridnour since Lamb is a salary dump and they can cut Luke instead.

Not that difficult.

NBA has guaranteed and unguaranteed contracts. Guaranteed means if you cut them it costs you. I believe Barnes hit was about a million dollars. He was guaranteed. Ridnour deal is not so you can cut him for free.

In this scenario, we were never going to keep Barnes but we didn't want to pay to cut him. So we found an unguaranteed contract in Ridnour and swapped with Memphis, who wants to keep Barnes.

Now in OKC the same scenario with Lamb. They need money to pay other guys and don't want to pay to release Lamb. So they will probably get the Ridnour contract and we will swap picks with them because we get the far better player in the deal.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
