@SnackPr0tein I’m just happy it’s been used for once, I feel like they are never used. So taking such a low risk swing should not bother people this much.

[Krishna Vedantam @Krishv5198]

@Yeeeerrrrobi For sure, and overall I think the roster has flexibility in-terms of players other teams should want to trade for. In Klay, Gafford, PJ, Naji, etc. Though I think it should be a balance of keeping a few of those guys, and really unless they want to be traded, no need to force it.

[Krishna Vedantam @Krishv5198]

@Yeeeerrrrobi Sorry, maybe I’m not being clear. I don’t worries about this 3-5, and Cam is clearly a great player. My only concern would be if the team tries to go into next season with a similar roster, and Cam is our only addition. I’m just interested to see who the team can get.

[Krishna Vedantam @Krishv5198]

@Yeeeerrrrobi Not a legitimate worry, but seeing how poorly the current roster is at taking/making 3s. It’s just a worry I have, I think ultimately Coop and Cam will be good shooters. But with the current state of NBA play, you really can’t have less than 4 good 3PTs shooters on the court.

It cannot be overstated how much Colin Allred and 40 people on here made this primary seem so much more contentious than it actually was

@garooya The fact that it’s the only Major League spots venue, in the Metroplex, you can take public transit to. The Stars and Mavs leaving the arena is devastating.

very proud of the absurdist coping method i've nurtured in my life, finding black humor from life's constant horror rather than looking away. so i have decided this actually is the funniest shit i've ever seen. like, y'all sure you can cash this one in if it hits? you sure?

all votes cast by people who were not in line by 7 have been ordered to be put to the side.

this is a major major problem, you cannot rule that voters who were given additional access can have that access taken away literally minutes before precincts close.

If i was an NBA coach facing the Mavericks, the top of the scouting report would say "PLEASE TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY THEY TRY HARD"

[Mavs(New)CBA @CBAMavs]

My crazy stat

It can be trite, but comparison really is the thief of joy.

While…comparison is the bread and butter of sports talk.

Don’t get caught offsides. They can’t force you to said bad things about someone else to promote your guy.

[Josh Bowe @Boweman55]

I know cooper's scoring is getting all the headlines right now but his passing has been really good during the stretch. he's seeing the floor very well.

[jack skellington 🎃 @SnackPr0tein]

stupid thought but if men’s and women’s basketball could play as one, Paige Bueckers and Cooper Flagg would be the most perfect complimentary duo of all time
