2024 Jazzfanz current draft seeding

Depends on your definition of a reward. See in your case, you'd have your own date!

I’ve never had the urge to have children actually.. lol..

I value my freedom too much to spend nearly 20 years being responsible to little people.

I’m on the opposite end of that spectrum. We had our kids while we were super young, and I’d do anything for them. My whole life I’ve had to sacrifice what I wanted for what they needed and I honestly wouldn’t change a thing. My wife and I are working now to build generational health, wealth and wellness so our kids, and their kids, and their kids have an easier go of things than we did.

Be part of the solution, not part of the problem. Well done.

I personally prefer not to have the positions since the NBA is increasingly positionless, but it's not a huge deal and at least it looks nice and from what I can tell names are spelled correctly.

You could do it as:

Guard:
Wing:
Big:

It's not fully positionless - there are very few who would go from G to B (Magic being, as in most things, an exception), for example, but, yeah, it's definitely not as tied down as it used to be.

Oh.

Really? Isn’t having kids rewarding?

Interestingly, studies show that while people SAY that having kids brings them the most happiness, joy, etc, when you ask them their happiest moments, it is invariably times when they got to get away from their kids for a while.

Yeah I guess there are 2 types of people in this world.. lol.. kids people and non-kids people..

My aunty on my dad side LOVES children. . She’s also a teacher.

It’s a real pity though cos she couldn’t have kids

I’m sure it’s nice to have a break but I’m guessing it’s fleeting as I’m not sure any of them would trade their kids to have that feeling more often.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

I’ll say there are times I wished I had kids, but then there are also times I see some restrictions from my bros, lives because of their kids and I take a sigh of relief, but I do wonder what I’m missing out on not having kids and how it enriches ones life. But it is what it is and I wouldn’t trade in what I have.

Thunder vs. Clippers
Raptors vs. Magic
Rockets vs. Bulls

Raising kids is tough. Way tougher for me than teaching high school kids. And I’m in an urban district which is about 80% Dominican.

I love my children. They’re special to me. All in G&T (I realize it doesn’t mean **** at their ages) so hopefully they’ll get money for college haha. Good kids. All very sensitive. That said, we have raised them far more spoiled than I would like (looking at my wife) and that’s one of the toughest parts of parenting for me. Being on the same page. I see too many signs of them being spoiled little *****. And it really bothers me. I address it obviously, talk to them. But they’re young.

Youth sports also make life holy hell. Not just the time (and money) spent on them or the choreographing of all the driving and carpooling, but the dynamics of relationships between families/parents of those on the teams and such. It’s just weird to me. We get invited to parties and I very often don’t want to go. I’m likely just a judgmental prick but I don’t want to hang around at someone’s house whose owners lie and gossip. Not my thing. No room for that toxicity in my life. Or at other get togethers where one mom who hosts is a Board of Ed mom who just bitches and complains about everything. The school system sucks (it doesn’t), the soccer coach sucks, etc. No time for that. Or perhaps worse yet, hang around bro dudes with their wealthy dicks swinging about. It could be a slight insecurity on my part but it’s just not me. Dudes drive Bentleys and the like. Make millions. Etc. Basically I just wanna be left alone, raise my kids, make love to my wife, and provide for them with the very occasional hangout. But it’s like people want to hang out 3 out of 4 weekends. Hell, when we do get a babysitter, I also don’t want to hang out with these people. I want to go out alone with my wife. Or other couples who we’re close with. So that’s just weird to me that these people want to hang out so often. Like, don’t they have college friends or work friends who they’re close with? Idk. Maybe it’s me.
