Related unrelated but I’m so glad I dealt with my relationship with money
Life was so great in my early years of childhood, all of a sudden things went left and economy became tight.
I had to move from private school to public.
My family Wey Dey always Cho before,
All of sudden, we were cutting down on so many expenses.
Something In me changed.
I became a hoarder.
I’m only happy when I have money
I become sad when I’m slightly broke and was a cranky roommate.
I knew my joy shouldn’t be tied to money
I read a bible passage one day and it changed my life
“Money can develop wings and fly”
That triggered something in me
I would intentionally give out some of my things just to learn how to abaze and abound.
Said all these to say.
This girl might not be wicked
It may be a trauma response she needs to look into
I don’t want to know how much I love you or care about you, if you don’t wish me happy birthday or you wished me in a way I don’t like, that’s the same way I will wish you too!!!
I’m very petty when it comes to my birthday.
Rob Pelinka is the perfect example of being damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
Yesterday, @Lakers fans were saying he was asleep at the wheel, that he wasn’t aggressive enough, and that the front office had no plan. Less than 24 hours later, the #Lakers reportedly land Walker Kessler, Collin Sexton, Quentin Grimes, and Sandro Mamukelashvili in a flurry of moves that completely reshape the roster around Luka Dončić.
Was the price for Walker Kessler steep? Absolutely. But here’s the reality: when you identify a 24-year-old rim protector who runs the floor, rebounds, blocks shots, and fits perfectly next to Luka, you don’t get him at a discount. Utah had all the leverage, and Pelinka knew that if Kessler was his guy, it was going to cost premium assets. That’s the price of solving your biggest roster need.
The bigger picture matters. This wasn’t about winning the transaction. It was about building a roster that actually fits. Kessler gives Luka the vertical lob threat and defensive anchor he’s at his best with. Sexton brings downhill scoring and toughness. Grimes adds two-way versatility on the wing. Mamukelashvili gives the Lakers another skilled frontcourt player with size and shooting.
Fans wanted urgency. Pelinka showed urgency.
You can debate the cost, but you can’t debate the intent. The Lakers identified their weaknesses and attacked them immediately. That’s what a President of Basketball Operations is supposed to do. Now it’s on the players and coaching staff to make it work.
