  1. One of my favorite NBA stories.
  2. The best product tester on Youtube IMO. A one man Consumers Reports. https://www.youtube.com/@ProjectFarm
  3. I understand this trade for Minnesota was based more on finances than talent. But you have one of the best young players in the league whose game is built on getting to the rim. Then you go out and hose your spacing. Toss in the fact Gobert doesn't space the floor either and Ant has to be wondering what is going on. DiVincenzo is deadly from three. But that doesn't change the fact Randle and Gobert will be on the floor together quite a bit.
  4. One DiVincenzo please.
  5. There are reports that Gores has a deal in place to buy 27% of the San Diego Chargers. EDIT: Just remembered they are in LA now.
  6. Daniel is officially out.
  7. But they will probably end up paying Shams even more. I suppose he generates the clicks though.
  8. The one guy who knew a little about basketball.
  9. Eurocup games started yesterday if you are jonesing for some basketball. Not a great league, sort of like the NIT, but it is basketball. Euroleague is for the big boys and that starts the first week of October.
  10. So it sounds like the Killian contract is an exhibit 10 training camp contract. Usually those are just used to bring extra bodies in for training camp. It is league minimum and no amount of money is guaranteed. I believe it also adds some G-League benefits as well. You can assign guys you cut from training cam to your G-League team without having to draft them, or something like that. Looking around, it appears Fred VanVleet was once an exhibit 10 guy. Almost all of these guys end up being cut though.
  11. People are speculating that Derrick Rose is about to retire. He was just released by Memphis.
  12. How do these no-name Youtubers get big name people on their channel? I see Austin Reaves is on a channel called Tequila at the Turn, which has 25K subscribers. How does a nothing channel like that get an NBA player like that? And I get that Reaves isn't a huge name, but he is a starter for one of the most famous sports teams in the world. That is a big name IMO. I understand Good Good or even Grant Horvat getting big names. Both of those channels have huge subscriber numbers. But a starting Laker on a 25K subscriber channel?
  13. Shame that Tark isn't around to run the UNLV collective. Everyone got paid when he was there. I'm guessing the player backed out after the good start. $100K isn't much even for a program like UNLV.
  14. The starting QB on a 3-0 team.
  15. Why didn't have have it 3 months ago? Oh yeah, he was trying to play for Team USA. I would be pretty upset if I was the Clippers.
  16. Face value is $750 for a single Ryder Cup ticket. My dad went to the US Open in the 80's when it was at Oakland Hills, the year Andy North won. I would love to know what those tickets cost.
  17. Now, a private equity firm named Apollo is interested in Intel.
  18. Intel Gains on Report That Qualcomm Made Takeover Approach Sort of interesting. I can't see the Feds allowing this to happen. And I don't understand why Qualcomm would want this to happen. Manufacturing chips is extremely difficult and Intel isn't very good at it. In fact, they currently out source some of their production to TSMC because Intel can't do it. Intel does have some interesting chip technology coming down the pipeline. Early benchmarks for their Lunar Lake chips look good, comparable to Snapdragon and even some of the Apple ARM stuff. But again, those chips were designed by Intel but manufactured by TSMC. Maybe Qualcomm wants to pick the good parts off the carcass and leave all the manufacturing garbage behind.
