    If we are conditioning tariffs on Mexico, we should make them clean up their Tijuana sewage mess. Most of it goes into the river up to San Diego making the water toxic to swim in and the air to breathe. Biden gave them millions to fix it and it all disappeared with none being used to fix their...

    Solving For Tanking, We're smart, let's figure it out

    Make any team not over the cap for more than one day in the prior season eligible for the lottery. If you are in the luxury tax you lose your draft pick which would be added in as a lottery pick for all other eligible teams. Will incentivize teams to make smart contracts, and cause the...

    Trades for/out of #1

    Jazz are not getting #1. Watch one of the low odd teams that could net the highest ratings (Spurs, Miami, or more likely Dallas as a thank you for putting Luka in LA). League #s are down and they want as high as ratings going into the new tv deals. Would not be surprised in the least.

    As you wish. This is the classic version I heard as a kid: There once was a man from Nantucket, Who kept all his dreams in a bucket. But then came a dame, He'd heard not her name, Who smiled and said, “Sir, let’s up-chuck it.” She danced in the night with a wink, With moves that would make...

    Cody Williams Hype and Appreciation Thread

    Exum has shown he can play when he is not broken, which sadly is most of the time. He has looked good with Dallas. Cody has not shown anything close to what Exum did when healthy. The only hope is Jalen Williams spent more time in college and also had a very slow start in the NBA so we can...

    The NBA’s Great Illusion-By TGS The ball goes up, the crowd goes wild, A game so pure—or just beguiled? Superstars shine, their moves so slick, But somehow fouls and lottery balls are oddly picked. A phantom whistle, a late-game call, Momentum shifts—was that a stall? A storybook ending, a...

    Agreed. Hope the Jazz figure out a way to lose out the rest of the way.

    As much as I want them to get Flagg, the worst seed never seems gets #1. Jazz have a 47% chance of getting the 5th seed with the worst record. Dallas will probably get it.

    The biggest concern with tanking is the allowance of bad habits a tank affords. To a large extent I am fine with passing turnovers and missed shots, as young guys are figuring it out, but the consistent missed rotations on D drive me crazy.

    Agreed. The first step would be an analysis of actual savings and where the mandatory programs would be sent to and who would oversee them. All I have heard is pie in the sky.

    Because the programs will still need to be operated (loans, etc.) I doubt there will be a lot in savings other than some admin costs, but that could still be 5% or more. I have no issue closing departments if they can still be run properly through other departments.
