The fuck do you think that has to do with literally anything I was talking about. JFC, you’re fucking dumb as hell

In what sense? Businesses remain firmly anti-tariff

I hate people who put things other than large bags in overhead bins: I hate you with every fiber of my being

I would 100% try it

Counts as an immediate cap hit

The latter issue could be addressed by having regular-season seeding count for more (e.g. byes).

Teams in the NFL, MLB, and NHL all go through rebuilding years where they suck, aiming to be competitive in the future. It’s not at all unique to the NBA. It’s rational and normal

If they had given him a $30 million signing bonus instead of guaranteeing $30 million salary, it would HUGELY BENEFIT THE RAVENS. To the tune of $30 million that counts against the RAIDERS’ cap instead of their own.

It’s EXACTLY what I said originally. Maybe try literacy.

Again, I’m talking about the TOTAL cap impact of the contract, not a single year.

What the fuck are you blathering about?

Which is why there is a cap benefit in general to trading for players on big contracts that got big signing bonuses

Crosby got a bunch of guaranteed salary rather a big signing bonus, so Baltimore doesn’t get that benefit

Not sure why this is such a difficult concept

Missing the point. They can restructure like anyone can, but an advantage of most trades that don’t involve an immediate new contract is that the total cap impact (not just for one year) is lower because the signing bonus counts for the other team. Crosby’s deal is weird and doesn’t really do that

Glad to see none of the institutions where I trained/work on this list. The ones that are are appalling, though

Any system that favors the worst teams is going to encourage tanking, no matter how small you make the marginal advantage

I’m honestly not sure I see it as a problem. Rebuilding teams are a thing in all of the big pro team sports. Doesn’t seem like an existential crisis

I’m kind of shocked that it was two
1sts with the first one being a top 15 pick. AND they don’t even get the typical trade benefit with guys that have multiple years left on their deal of having a lower-than-normal cap hit because the signing bonus doesn’t count

I find a lot of the “well he obviously must have known” stuff dubious.

People get dumb tattoos that they don’t know the meaning of all the time because it looks cool or with friends or whatever. Random Chinese characters, etc

Every time Dems have a bad cycle, there’s a whole cottage industry about how they need to move to the right, when really they just need to be Not Republicans whenever Republicans inevitably shit the bed

Long and storied movie career. He was in Highlander: Endgame back in 2000 when he was still in a tag team with Christian

Fun fact: Adam Baldwin is the most famous person I’ve gotten in a Twitter fight with.

Turns out that the reason he was so good at playing Jayne, a stupid paranoid asshole, is that he is in fact a stupid paranoid asshole in real life (and hardcore antivax).

He is the second stupidest person in the Senate, behind only Tuberville

I’m just going to say that trading AJ Brown would be very stupid unless you can get a comparable player back. There’s no reason to trade him for the sake of trading him

“Trump fires Kristi Noem…”

Oh, that’s good. She’s awful.

“…and replaces her with the second stupidest person in the Senate”

🤦🏻‍♂️

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

But the justice overseeing the circuit would also be random, no? What stops people from just continually rolling the dice until they get a favorable random panel to grant cert?

Also, a constitutional questions: could it be undone by a future Congress without running afoul of Article 3’s “shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour”? If everybody is a SCOTUS Justice now, it seems there isn’t any mechanism to go back to a smaller court without unconstitutional demotions

Interesting idea. If it’s random, what prevents some group from repeatedly bringing similar cases until they randomly get a panel with the right number of Rao/Kacsmaryk/Bove/Alito/Thomas types they want?

A very foreseeable problem and an excellent reason the tariffs should have been enjoined long before this

This man knows what he’s talking about, @bruceshark.bsky.social

This is actually potentially relevant when both have hotly contested Senate primaries

I’m unfamiliar with this “closing tabs” concept 🧐
