Fair enough. I just see that there is obviously a market among fringe playoff contenders to get a young center, something that the 76ers have a lot of. But, you are probably right that the glut of young centers likely undermined them in actually turning them into something they can use because even if they have 3 of…

Right, but it is kind of the same thing that has plagued the Celtics and why up until now they haven’t been able to trade their war chest into anything tangibly great. Everyone in the league knew they were interested in turning those assets into a big player, so they demanded everything for those picks. Instead of…

To a certain degree. There is no reason why the 76ers had to move Nerlens right now, none. If teams think you are in a weak position then just hold on to him until next season, what do you have to lose by waiting? A cap hit on a team that isn’t anywhere near the luxury tax. What are you losing by selling in a…

+1 for this paragraph:

But that is the problem, they see it as cleaning up after Hinkie. Hinkie’s mess was drafting too many players at the same position and not having a cohesive team. As a result the 76ers front office undervalues the big men on their rosters. The problem is that almost every single trade so far has been for a big man.…

At this point they don’t even have anywhere near the assets it would take to get a superstar player

Right, but trading Nerlens for lint isn’t a great long-term solution. As I said, I think Hinkie was a moron and drafting three centers was stupid no matter how great you thought they all were.

See, it is idiotic shit like this that makes everyone want to praise Hinkie as a genius. He was smart enough to know that teams trading for a current asset tend to devalue future assets, and teams that are tanking tend to overvalue future assets. To exploit this he had the very basic plan of getting as many future…

You should feel fan-fucking-tastic.

It depends on how wide of a net you are trying to cast. If you are asking if any of their policies actually help the majority of people, the answer is no, but a lot of poor and uneducated people think they do. If you are asking if their policies help anyone, the answer is yes, their donors.

I have nothing to offer other than Seo seems like a really bad person.

But a parent’s right to rear their child as they see fit would just be another constitutional challenge. The problem with these laws isn’t the legality of them (as almost all of them, this one included) are obviously unconstitutional. The problem is the damage that is done in the meantime.

It is literally their jobs to pass laws. The problem isn’t that they don’t have expertise in a given area, it is that they refuse to listen to experts when crafting the laws.

I keep waiting for that to either get a port or become BC as it is only one of two AC games I haven’t played (the other being Revelations) and the only one that I haven’t played that I want to play.

Or, you could, you know, read what is in the article (hint look at the image):

Poor baby. You should definitely protest against him and the rest of the DNC for the next four years in response.

Both Isaiah and Horford should defer to Melo in a lot of situations, he is a great iso scorer. Tbh, I just remember last year in the playoffs where teams just essentially played 5-on-1 to defend Isaiah. Not even the best players ever could consistently win with that level of defensive scrutiny, let alone a player who…

Playing this game made me want to give Fire Emblem a shot. So I did and played the hell out of Awakening. I am now in a quandary where I can’t get the other 3DS games cheap enough to warrant a purchase for me but Heroes isn’t deep enough. Oh well.

The most appalling tweet to me was:

It is like they looked at their rivals to the north, and were like, “We need to copy that Silicon Valley mindset!” Only, they were referring to the shitty Kings hiring Vlade and not to the Warriors building an amazing team from the ground up.
