We have so many of them that someone is almost certainly going to ball out. Hell, it's probably going to be two or three guys this year.

This is probably the biggest thing. The Jazz have like 10 players who are either good or young enough that they may well become good in a couple of years. There aren't too many players on the team who have peaked at mediocrity.

Yeah, I'm not sure how a tank is going to work here. We've got one player who's a bona-fide stud in Lauri. Sexton is probably closer to that category than many here would like to admit. Clarkson is Clarkson, but when he's locked in, he's deadly. Collins is a solid starter in this league. We...

Do these Rockets jerk*ffs also somehow play in the Aussie league?

Is this like how Kansas City is actually in Missouri?

He's been day-to-day the last 7 years.

They're not going to allow the team to fall apart specifically because they don't want us to get premium picks. That's the problem with trades for a bunch of future FRPs.

COVID. COVID. COVID. How many times does this need to be said? You can't just ignore the worst global pandemic in a century and pretend it had no effect on immigration, economy, inflation...everything. Including the very league that caused this forum to exist. The Lakers and their Mickey...

I'm not necessarily proposing some sort of a violent seizure of all guns, but at the very least, further proliferation of guns can be limited. I often think about this gun issue the way we've seen the tobacco over the past 60 years or so. It's a public health issue. People are dying...

That's a cop out, though. Mental health issues and availability of guns are not related. It's not like Canada or the UK have amazing mental health support systems or no wealth gap. You gotta think that the fact that the US is absolutely awash in guns is a significant factor in much, much...

I was a couple of weeks short of my 16th birthday when the Columbine school shooting happened. It was an important event during my formative years. I remember all the hand-wringing and blame-seeking by seemingly everyone in the society. I remember spending the next day at school not actually...

Remember that any kind of security system like that is one step behind the people trying to break it. I did not realized that one had to pay for video games(on a PC, to be clear) until I was 12. My father stole Dish Network for almost a decade(in Canada, no less). Once a security system is...

But this isn't how the market works at all. Nor did the government create the initial issue. For one, the market may not simply drive wages up, but rather force those companies to leave. In a globalized economy, those factories and plants don't need to be in Springfield. They don't even...

Because of who and what they vote for. And because of what you can see happening all around you, including in Springfield. Look at who won the county, and all those surrounding rural counties in 2020. There was no conspiracy to bring thousands of Haitians to Springfield, Ohio. There was no...

Who said anything about retired? And you seriously need me to go google examples of Trump promising to revive manufacturing, mining, etc? Come on, let's not insult each other's intelligence here. You know exactly what I'm talking about. You may not agree, but you know I'm not talking about...

They don't want the jobs in question. Minimum wage in Ohio is $10.45. I'd be hard pressed to believe that any of the jobs Haitians are currently holding pay much more than that. Look, we can discuss supply and demand and the question of how high minimum wage can be and all those other...

Except those people don't want to work these jobs. They all want magical, fantasy factory and mining jobs from 50 years ago.

Big freaking deal. I went from 200 pounds 7 years ago to 250 earlier this year. Wasn't even that hard.

It's even funnier when the whole thing is translated to Canadian politics. We did not use to have debates because our system is very different. Our head of state is technically an inbred old guy in England and his representative here is appointed. The prime minister is simply the leader of...

Isn't is silly when you think about how so much of a political campaign today is just pointless fluff with no real connection to what a politician is supposed to do? It's all just become a reality show of sorts, which perhaps explains to some degree Trump's success. There are debates like...
