In volatile markets, clarity is leverage.
I work with growth-stage and Web3 founders at the moments
when financial decisions carry real consequences —
preparing to raise, managing runway, navigating a transaction.
25 years across institutional capital markets.
Merrill Lynch. Citigroup. Daiwa. Macquarie.
Now Three Vectors Capital and Weild & Co.
I've sat on both sides of these conversations.
That's the perspective I bring.

I think that would get ugly, too, because both teams would keep an attacker near the opposing goal, and just try to scoop of long, uncontrolled passes in one on one situations. A lot of the fluidity of hockey would disappear. Note also that the same basic principal is why basketball has a 3 second rule to keep big men from just camping under the basket.
@Kharmdierks@RealManSports Also, the critical need to hold defenders back severely limits their ability to join an attack … so most possessions devolve into 7 or 8 v 11 in the box.
@Tjonesonthenba@DLocke09 is Can Boozers only real weakness that he doesn’t jump explosively? I never thought Larry Bird could jump either … love to hear your thoughts.
@Jube02@mandalawyerin They wouldn’t. The twist this year is that the US (and Mex and Can) was in pot 1 because they are hosts. Normally the US would be in pot 2 or 3.
@EverythingRebs Avid fan for 40 years …this is the best us team I’ve ever seen. Group is a bit easier than average, as how they determine the groups is always helpful to hosts.
Cam might come off bench for two years, then emerge in the well documented year 3 jump just as one of the existing bigs likely needs to move on for salary reasons.
@DLocke09 I’m sold. Cam Boozer top of my board. DP downside is chronic physical or mental health, questionable leadership. AJ shooting is suspect, and why wasn’t he the go to guy in late game situations?
@Tjonesonthenba Thanks, Tony. Your message here is short and sweet, and smack on point: mgt hasn’t decided yet either.
I actually think this will still be a difficult decision, but I’ll be thrilled by any of the three. No lose situation overall.
