I mean, if he wants to come sign for the minimum you have to do it. The upside is huge compared to little downside.

Jazz arent mean enough to really go full heel.

It's called win rings. If Duncan never got rings, he would have gotten disrespected too because his style is boring to the casual fan. Winning is the only undeniable thing. Durant/Westbrook are exciting players that casual fans like. IT's got nothing to do with PR.

The disrespect is annoying, but it's only going to make winning sweeter. At the end of the day I wouldn't waste too much energy on it as a fan. The NBA media ****ing sucks dick and it's way too regressive in efforts to appeal to the casual fanbase that cares about narratives, drama, and highlights.

Makes sense. Most of the league hates Rudy and think he's overrated. I think Utah's success makes them hate him more, because to them it's unexplainable BS. I mean, he's the super tall goofy guy who can't even score the ball himself. He's the opposite of what they have idolized growing up and it...

You named one player...

He's a terrible fit with Brooklyn. Too many ball-handlers out there. He isn't the rim threat anymore and he's only a mediocre shooter. If you arent going to put the ball in his hands to playmake, what value does he actually have? The Clippers, I would think the bridge has been burned. The...

He's been worse than Niang the last two seasons. I'm sure he hasnt been very motivated, but his legs are shot. He has like one dunk in the past two seasons I think.

I would think Lakers. Does anyone actually want Blake Griffin though?

The refs are Gobert's biggest enemy. He's too emotional towards refs and he really lets it affect his game. He's got too much Demarcus Cousins vibes when he reacts to calls.

Lmao, That was such a back breaker. I thought the Rudy jumper looked good and I was super happy that his jumper baited Howard into taking a 3 (BUT THEN HE MADE IT).

I mean, I still think it's largely stupid, but the point is that I'd rather him do those things than post-up or drive.

First game of the year I really noticed how bad the refs were. That offensive foul they gave Ingles against Simmons vs the no call on Embiid lowering his shoulder to parallel with ground on Gobert

We should be aiming to make workers less exploitable, not more exploitable, so the idea that HS'ers working a job shouldn't get paid a living wage is bogus.

1. I don't think anyone's job at the movie theater is only to sweep popcorn They are doing other task as well 2. Yes, that person should be paid a living wage for their time. If the job isnt worth paying someone a living wage, figure out how to get it done among the workforce you have.

I would use a studio apartment as the standard for figuring out a living wage. Like what's the lower end of the range for studio apartments and use that as the rent figure for a living wage.

Uhh, as long as jobs exist that people have to do, they deserve a living wage. The lowest of low jobs should still pay at living wage. It's not a "band-aid" issue. Our society can't function some of these jobs, no matter how unskilled. Even if you gave everyone great skills training and...

Losing steam right before the break with the Lakers and Clippers both faltering is kind of expected human nature stuff.

If we want him to actually succeed at shooting then you have to run plays. A non-shooter is going to shoot even worse off plays like the Gobert shot last night because it has no rhythm and he is going to be in his head while taking the shot. Jazz need to find a spot on the court Gobert likes...
