While I doubt he is a franchise changing player, I am intrigued by Labissiere. If he could be got on the cheap, or reasonably cheap, I think he might be worthwhile taking a flyer on. He has some nice games now and then, and it is Sacramento he is playing for after all, a team not necessarily...

Yes, there's that. But but both teams have to believe they are benefiting from the trade, but for the proposed trades that are asymmetrical (which includes a non-trivial portion of them), one can question whether the proposer ever stops to consider whether and why the trade partner would...

Neither Kemba Walker nor DeAndre Jordan are worth a high first round pick. The reasons they wouldn't give away their top asset (and possibly most valued acquirable asset in the league) is that they understand how the market works and how the market values assets, and they are not going to give...

Honestly, I wonder whether people proposing some of these deals ever ask themselves why other team would ever want to make the proposed deal. By and large, people don't get into an NBA FO because they are gullible, easily fooled dolts (with some possible exceptions--yes, I'm looking at you...

In today's NBA, high draft picks are the most precious of assets. Cleveland isn't moving Brooklyn's pick for anything short of Steph Curry or James Harden; in other words, it ain't going to happen, or it is highly unlikely to happen. Why would the Cavs give up their draft pick for a free agent...

LOL, drama queen much? If this is your standard for judging a person's character, well then . . . Of ALL of the possible things people might do that legitimately qualify them as being a piece of human garbage loser (do I really need to point out to you why we don't call people 'retards'...

Sadly, I have come to the conclusion that acquiring Rubio was a mistake, and we are better off with him off the floor, particularly when combined with Favors and/or Gobert. He needs to start coming off the bench and only playing when he's surrounded by floor spacers. His poor shooting, again...

To me Hayward is like a girlfriend who has dumped me. I respect her right to choose someone else, I don't wish her ill and feel badly if something happens to her, and I hope she finds happiness in life. But damned if I feel any connection to her anymore, and neither do I give much of a sh**...

Don't forget that in Deron's rookie season Sloan stubbornly refused to feature him and played scrubs like Milt Palacio over him. Deron didn't begin flourishing until the end of his rookie season, when Miller finally forced Sloan to play him, and then his second year.

Your perference for religious right over Trump is about to get sorely tested if/when Roy Moore (a certifiable Christian nationalist kook) and more like him are elected to the Senate. But, I agree.

Over my head on this one. My only contribution is to ask: What does the science say? I'm not talking about a handful of alarmists scientists or pro scientists but rather the scientific consensus. On matters of science, shouldn't science actually be the primary factor on which we form opinions...

Hatch has had literally dozens of opportunities over the last several years to take a determined, moral stand against Trump's pandering to the White Nationalist, including bringing them into the White House, yet he's said nothing, done nothing. While it's good he's finally speaking up, this...

The most enjoyable part of this thread is watching our resident village idiot DutchJazzer twist himself into knots trying to find a way to 'white wash' this.

The LDS doctrine on tithing is, IMHO, a form of spiritual blackmail. It plays on feelings of guilt, false promises of reward, both heavenly and temporal, and threats of punishment extract money from people many who can't afford it. While Colton's experience worked out, he also had a...

My point is that we remember things that happened recently more than things that happened in the past, and the most distant the past, the less we remember, particularly if we were not alive or were not conscious of such things at that time. The argument seems to be that politically inspired...

The problem is that this is recency bias that lacks any historial context. You may well be correct, but I'd bet there were similarly 'political inspired' (if that what is was) violence in the good ol' days of yore.

Applauding the shooting? I very much doubt it. Plus, the fact that you refer to CNN as "liberal social media" already tells me that you lack credibility.

I understand why people often so desperately want to attach a meta explanation to individual acts. Perhaps, however, the simplest, best explanation is that this was just a single act by a mentally unhinged individual and it's no one's fault but his or whatever mental illness he happens to have...

Ok, I'm not sure about this. What precisely have progressives done that has been more harmful to working types more than, say, the unrelenting campaign within the Right to weaken labor unions (granted the causes for the demise of labor unions are more complex than this, but it's not the...
