“Sure, it is good to get value for Noel before he becomes a free agent, but they didn’t get much value.”

Huh, I guess I didn’t realize The Process involves taking people at the top of the draft, spending their entire rookie contract losing, and then trading them for a far worse pick because otherwise they’ll just leave…

Fair, “all-in” wasn’t the best description there. To rephrase, Cubes is trying his damndest to make the Mavs the 8th best team in the West. Which I can understand given they are trying to support Nowitzki, but I also think it’s a little hard to get excited about a team who isn’t fully invested in a rebuild but also…

It’s not all-in, though. Even if the Mavericks make the playoffs, they’re likely to still have like the 14th worst record in the league, and keep their pick too (for at least one season).

Cubes is going all in for the ability to lose in the first round of the playoffs. You should feel...indifferent?

As a super casual Mavs fan, can someone tell me how to feel about this?

If Bogut gets bought out by the 76ers is he going to end up back in Golden State?

Ex cop here.

What the entire fuck did I just watch???? That is a child he is manhandling over nothing!! And then he pulls his gun put because people are rightfully trying to get him off the kid?? And shoots it?????? I’m fucking livid! Administrative leave my ass he should be in jail!

Cuz like, you grew up around people who had a vague sense of being not-Democrats. That’s literally all it takes.

Because once upon a time, not that long ago, actually, as recent as the 1980 when I registered to vote for the first time, the Republican party’s primary chalice was fiscal responsibility and state’s rights, not hate. So I am a registered republican even though I haven’t voted for a republican for a national election…

Probably the same as most people... his parents were.

So he doesn’t hate refugees or gay people, why was he a republican?

Sure, they are being vetted. But are they being EXTREMELY vetted?

How do people like this (and this age) call themselves “lifelong” Republicans? What values are today’s Republicans espousing that someone like this associates himself with? And are the subtleties between those positions and that of the Democrats enough to override the clear disagreement he would have on the values…

Feeding Thanksgiving dinner to refugees? That’s totally against the spirit of the holiday! IT’S FOR AMERICANS!!!

This still makes me laugh

JUST LIKE ME ON MY COMMUTE

Certainly not! And, of course, while they disagreed with Obama politically, they recognized he had legitimately won the election and never supported Republican efforts to obstruct his agenda, because that would be hypocritical in light of their current complaints that Democrats are obstructing Donald Trump.
