Used to write about the TPups on various sites for a brief spell. Now I just angrily shake my fist at the sky over the Wolves letting Jordan McLaughlin go. Retired cap nerd 75% baskethoops talk 25% politics May post an occasional west coast swing video

The elected Dems are such cowards man. I’ve joked that they likely have a collective humiliation kink and that’s the only way things make sense but man…it’s so obnoxious and discouraging seeing how little they care to fight unless it’s performative for the press.

It’s pretty bonkers that Bills Gates of all people has come out with so many reservations about AI. Really cool that he’s vocal about it though.

There’s a chance that DeMar understands he’s in the back end of his career and knows the fit is…meh with the starters and opts for a 6MOY campaign, fully bought into the role. The chance is 1% but it’d make the signing 10 times better.

I’m glad Denver heard Jaden McDaniels dunk all over them for not being able to play defense and proceeded to get rid of Watson to bring in DeRozan.

Dude, it’d suck so much to be a Nuggets fan. Their cheap owner ruining a potential dynasty run to save money and then further dismantling the team yearly would be so sad to watch.

Feels like the schedule makers thought Minnesota may need some grace to come together to start the season. A *gigantic* home stretch and minimal national TV games early on should help them a lot.

Fetterman is such a moron, good lord.* *he’s probably not actually a moron just morally bankrupt and bought off so he’s playing a role. Just doing so as obviously and stupidly as possible. So I guess he may be a moron?

Assuming Minnesota starts a wing instead of a true PF, I wonder if they try to pre-switch for any Rudy actions and mostly switch everything with everyone else. Keeps Rudy in or near the paint as much as possible.

If Bron is trying to turn his next season into a documentary, what better supporting cast is there than Melo, Ant, Jaden, Rudy, and Bones? Rudy in an unintentional Toby from The Office role would be so hilarious.

News outlets that covered the US-Saudi nuclear deal without mentioning that Jared Kushner, Trump’s top foreign policy advisor, is getting paid by the Saudi government: WSJ NYT AP Reuters CNN NBC ABC CBS The Guardian Semafor Washington Post Fox News New York Post BBC Newsweek MS NOW

A nuclear deal for the Saudis. A media blackout for Kushner’s corruption.

On Wednesday, the Trump administration signed a 30-year nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia that paves the way for the kingdom to enrich its own uranium.

Dallas remains an all too logical Josh Green trade partner. Flagg, Risacher, Washington, Johnson, Martin, Aldama, and Marshall should all be vying for forward minutes, not to mention the wings who could creep into SF minutes like Christie and Klay if he’s kept.

I wonder who sees the most improvement on their weaker side of basketball, Ant getting a less taxing offensive role and being able to expend more on defense; Rudy getting a passer’s passer and expanding his offense, or Melo being in a legitimate winning environment and having to buy in on defense.
