SpaceX insiders will get to sell shares earlier than usual after the IPO

Because of the luxury tax. Denver would be more than $20 million over it, which means for every dollar they pay Watson they would be hit with a luxury tax of $3.25 for every dollar they pay Watson. So that $25 million you pay him next year becomes $100 million. If they are in the tax 3 out of 4 years, the penalties become much larger. It's why Boston dumped Holiday, Porzingis, and Horford. Their $280 million salary for the season was going to become $550-$600 million after luxury tax payments.

Trying to overpower Victor with size is the wrong approach. The key to beating him is shooting, not physical play. Look at what happened to SGA this series. He shot 65% in the paint in round one, 50% in round two, and just 35% in the conference finals. That drop tells the whole story. SGA's entire game is built around attacking the basket, and Wembanyama is basically his kryptonite — a 7-foot-4 shot-blocker who takes away everything SGA does best. If I'm a WCF GM building a team, I never draft a kid like Mara. Victor will murder a slow lumbering guy like Mara on the perimeter. I would go out and get shooting, shooting, and then after that I go get some shooting. I mean you can't have ten Duncan Robinson's running around. You have to look for guys that shoot and do other things as well. But loading up on size is not something I would do to beat San Antonio. Unless that size can shoot.

Good for them. We need more people willing to do stuff like this. A Danish pension fund has blacklisted SpaceX, calling it grossly overvalued with catastrophic governance

It isn't even necessarily about whom the better player is. The 1st/2nd/3rd pick makes $15/$13/$12 million next year when Chet will make $41 million. The OKC payroll will be about $260 million with Chet, so that puts them into the 2nd apron and well into the luxury tax for the first time. They need to cut salary. But I don't see anyway Washington, Utah, or Memphis trades their pick for Chet. I do think Utah could be interested in JDub though.

I have to say, AI really shines when it comes to troubleshooting. When they installed our fiber a few months ago I bought a new router. It completely broke both of the Debian servers I run. Sat down with Claude and started pasting error messages, and it was fixed in an hour or two. It rewrote entire config files and everything. I'm sure I would have eventually fixed it using Google. But it would have taken a lot longer and the frustration levels would have been higher.

Bill Simmons doesn't know ****, per me

It was an addon I use called Privacy Badger. It was blocking twitter.com. Once I allowed it they started to render again. I used Claude to troubleshoot it. Worked well.
-
I'm also using Firefox. Just checked using Chrome and they render fine. So it must be a Firefox issue.
-
Are tweets not rendering for everyone else or is that just me?

Game #3 ticket prices at MSG.

OKC has entered the Giannis trade talks.

They robbed him on MVP.
-
The chance to tell everyone how right I was for the next 5 years? I'm going to need to see a physician in 4 hours.

The last 10 posts are why you don't pay Jalen Duren. Can't score in the post. Cant shoot the three. So people want him to spend time on a bad idea of learning the mid-range. $25 million, take it or leave it.
-
Like last year when we all said OKC was building a dynasty?
-
The Spurs lost 60 games in 2023-24 and are going to the Finals.
-
The classic down 6 with over 40 seconds left and OKC can only shoot 3's. One of my biggest pet peeves in today's game.
-
It isn't silly. Developmental time is limited. Using it on a terrible skill is a waste of time and pretty stupid. I'm all for him improving his offensive game. But it has to be the three point shot. Or here is a crazy idea for a big man. Maybe learn a ****ing post move. Where is his up and under? Drop step? Baby hook?
-
Well, in 4 years he's shooting 35% from the midrange. Like I said, all day.
-
With a minute left in the 3rd quarter, the Thunder starters not named SGA have a combined 14 points.
