I agree you on that point regarding Sansa, she hasn’t been written well, but I think the show is actually inflating her importance beyond what it is in the books or even what they’ve shown in their version. We’re supposed to see her as some sort of major player in the show’s political theater, but she never actually…

You’re unquestionably right about the line of succession, she is ahead of Jon.

Who would have that authority? Dolan himself? Dolan actually has stayed out of basketball affairs the past several years. Maybe he felt burned by Jackson, so he won’t give up full control again.

If they waited too long, than that’s a knock itself. If you take a worse deal a week or two after you could have gotten a better deal, then you fucked up. I also think they could have waited and traded him this summer for more. No sense in arguing it, neither of us are GMs, and it’ll come down to me saying “uh huh”…

Listen, I’ll admit I haven’t seen him play much at all since he left, but I am always wary of giving a player a long term contract based on short-term success, especially since I saw him as an end of the rotation guy on the Knicks a few years ago. He was in the D-League 18 months ago. I was looking at the list of the…

He literally said they had a better offer earlier. It was a remarkably dumb comment, but unless you think he was lying (and why would he be?), that means he didn’t get as much for Cousins as he could have.

While I don’t agree with you (I think they could have waited and gotten more for him), that wasn’t the point I was making. The idiot I was responding to based his reasoning on “the Kings got better and the Pelicans got worse”, which is the opposite of what happened.

Ah, I get you, thanks for the clarification

And today I learned that they only play 7 innings in A ball. Which makes it closer to Little League than the Majors.

Nothing mixes better than vanilla and chocolate...and yet, somehow, racial harmony eludes us...

I gotta say, I really do love that people are taking you seriously. Well done +1

And the Pelicans actually improved after they traded for him! They went from a .40 winning percentage to a .44. Not nearly what people expected, it was still a disappointment. They were also a better team.

The fuck are you talking about? The Kings were 24-33 when he left and went 8-17 after. That’s going from .42 Winning Percentage to a .32. They were quantifiably worse.

I assume it was Mills, but Dolan either signed off on it or gave Mills free reign to do whatever. And both are unfathomably stupid.

They should not be commended because they got back way too little for him. They admitted they got less for him than they could have.

Naturally, they did this a week after signing Tim Hardaway Jr. for over $70 million. Not a week before, a week after.

Someone else said that the NHL considered that one a few years ago. I like it! It seems a little wonky, and it’s not foolproof, but it definitely works towards the ultimate goal.

You make some good points, especially regarding how many people know/believe Jon was resurrected.

He’s got a funny beard and therefore looks Amish.

I want to see the loose leaf paper where the rough draft version of those lyrics were written down. Like, I really want to know what lines for this song were bad enough to be replaced.
