Jackpotting Around - Trick or Treat

As someone who hasnt been impressed with Keyonte over the years, he has been much better so far this season..... He still has times where he complains to the ref for calls over getting back on defense though.

Man I didn't even get into my Almond Joy love. @Elizah Huge likely would have lost it on me if he found out I love them.

100 Grand is *** though.

Keyonte is like one of those big everlasting gobstoppers. We've been licking that **** for 2 years and now we are near the core where it taste good.

I love 100 grand. Only really see it at Halloween. Gobstoppers are trash. That's gross and sticky. Pass.

I will use your concept tho... he's a carmel apple sucker. Takes a minute... has some rough edges that will cut your tongue up a bit... but nice treat.
 
Listened last night - good one, guys. The “I’d eat one but just one” is the best description of white chocolate I’ve ever heard.

Ainge was on DJ/PK or one of those radio channels today that you all should listen to - they ask him a couple times about Kessler and his response is… weird.
 
I’m just spitballing, but is it possible that Walker just isn’t interested in remaining in Utah (maybe a decision he came to over the summer) and all this weirdness is the result of both camps agreeing to keep this on the dl until we work out a trade?

Take a listen to his media day interview again. He sounded incredibly sincere to me that he wants to be here.

But the caramel apple sucker is the best at the start. The end sucks because it sticks to your teeth.
 
So what is everyones favorite candy? Mine is caramello candy bar.

For the most part I only like candy that is chocolate based (snickers, kit kat, milky way, reeses peanut butter cup, nestle crunch, etc) and I almost never like anything that lacks chocolate. I dont like twizzlers, sprees, starbursts, nerds, etc etc etc. But the one exception are those nerd clusters. Those things are amazing. They probably land in my top 3 which is crazy because they have no chocolate.

For one of my previous jobs I spent some time in Switzerland and eating Swiss chocolate kind of ruined me, specifically my favorite is Cailler Chocolate. Nothing in the U.S. comes close. Caramello is one of my favorites though. I like Twix, Snickers, Peanut Butter M&Ms, and milky ways as well.

I'm definitely more of a chocolate candy fan and my wife is more of a non chocolate candy fan. Her favorite are high chews.

As far as Halloween candy, or in other words candy I only eat around Halloween, the lime and lemon tootsie rolls comes to mind. My kids don't like them so I get to eat whatever they don't want.

Never heard of high chews. Gonna have to look into that.

Chocolate: Snickers and Mounds

Fruity/Sweety: Chamoy gummies
 
Take 5 is the best "mainstream" chocolate bar imho. Pretzel, Carmel, peanut, peanut butter, salty, yum. Tough to find outside of Halloween. Smiths sells it now but not so much the rest of the year

Swedish fish are still my favorites though. Especially when they are dry.
 
Lauri love is my favorite thing to read right now because I heard all sorts of complaints about how we messed up by not trading him, how no one will want to trade for him due to his contract, how he is one of the worst contracts in the league all last year so starting out with that was good.

Maybe go back and listen to your pod about Lauri trades now. I think that pod would be very different now or in 2 months. For those reasons, Lauri is still the biggest take 5 treat for me.

Also, value is a fickle thing.

Swedish Fish are a good gummy. Not too gummy, nice firmness, and solid taste without being overly sweet.

Brother from another.....you get it.

Mine are also caramello and nerd clusters. Crazy! I will get a bag of those caramello individually wrapped singles from Sam's or Costco and it will be gone in 3 days. Those are the candies I always take to the movies with me, caramello and nerd clusters. Craziest is I do not care for basic milk chocolate and I will not eat caramel, except in the caramello which must be made with crack or something.

But I also really like basic licorice, even black licorice, with Wiley Wallaby my favorite. They make small ones like Nibs in small packets again perfect for the movies.

I am also very fond of dark chocolate in every form imaginable. Especially Ghirardelli squares, dark chocolate raspberry. These don't last at my house either. Those and any form of chocolate truffle. Yep.

Nah... that ain't it. I have almost no doubt we could have gotten a deal somewhere between 25-30m. Issue is they didn't try... so they don't really know. Even if you think you know, go ahead and let the market fall into place and as you do have meetings with him.

They are not sure on Walker still. You can go listen to the end of the pod that Sarah Todd did. There is some indication there too. He likely cools off from three, but if he plays like this the rest of the season he will push towards $40M. I think there is a reasonable chance he is moved but will be hard to rationalize his value with the return if he keeps playing this well.

I genuinely think management really messed this one up and am not afraid to call it out plainly.

Would you say that this is a page out of the KOC playbook of "not bidding against yourself" that worked out so well with Millsap, Matthews, and by extension in his first off-season in control with DL and Hayward?

100%. I compared it directly to Hayward and DL. Flexibility is the new "keep the powder dry". Think I said it sounds great until you are dead on the battlefield with a lot of dry powder.

The Dante Exum trade value paradox also applies here. Maybe the plan was to move him and his increased level of play makes that value a touch higher... but he's playing better so you want to keep him.

I feel like this story ends with us paying an amount above the amount we were uncomfortable with this summer. I genuinely believe something in the 25-27M range was VERY doable. I think hitting the free market while also showing some increased value... I won't be shocked at 35+ and think there is a chance a team comes with max deal (basically).

So we used our flexibility to paint ourselves into a corner... but it will all be worth it when we sign Austin Reaves to a max. He's been looking to get out of LA for a while (sarcasm for those that don't pick up on that type of thing).
