Thank you. That makes a lot of sense. I forgot he took a team-friendly deal last year.

Aw, good ol Hunter. Just hanging around in the tourist areas, looking to backslide on his recovery, hoping to score some blow in the tourist areas of the WH.

"Both sides!" amirite?

I like it. I guess PJ would be coming off the bench to solidify the D after we jump out to big leads??

They stayed home during midterms. If people were as angry as you and I they would vote in every election. I sure do.

"Perhaps the most notable finding with respect to voter turnout is that 2022 turnout rates were nearly as high as the record-setting 2018 midterm turnout rates. Yet unlike the previous midterm elections, the groups with the highest Democratic voting margins—in particular, young people, Black Americans, women, and white female college graduates—did not show greater turnout increases than other groups, and often displayed lower turnout rates than in the 2018 midterms." https://www.brookings.edu/articles/new-voter-turnout-data-from-2022-shows-some-surprises-including-lower-turnout-for-youth-women-and-black-americans-in-some-states/

WTF are you on about. This is from yesterday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lcupq5cg__4. His speech & coherence are better than most Americans.

Can anyone post the relevant bit? I got halfway into the article before the paywall came up. Does it go into any depth about what Harden wants or how Morey mishandled things? Or is this just a tweet masquerading as an article.

Rules for thee, warping of the Constitution and Qualified Immunity for me.

Really, really glad they are keeping him. I think the coaching change will be great for his development and we'll see him play more at the 4 and not be restricted to back-up duties when Embiid comes out.

As a Sixer fan all I can say is I knew they'd do this to us.

Keeping him as of now will push them over the luxury tax.

At this point I'd be surprised if they match. Surely they put a number on his value and then they signed Beverly & Bamba. I can't imagine they exceed the luxury tax for Paul. So either they have bigger deal in the works that will free up salary or they were willing to let him walk.

This roster is looking worse and worse every day.

Oh fuck. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/37978331/76ers-free-agent-paul-reed-jr-signs-jazz-offer-sheet

"The manufacturers attempted to avoid liability by claiming it is selling parts, not guns. But the gun kits they sell can be assembled in minutes by virtually anyone," said Mayor Jim Kenny during a news conference on Wednesday. The city has seen a 300% increase in the number of ghost guns used in crimes over the last four years. In 2019, 95 were used. In 2020, that number increased to 250. In 2021, it doubled to 571. In 2022, the number of ghost guns used in a crime surged to 575. So far in 2023, 292 have been used in crimes including the mass shooting on Monday in Kingsessing.

Serial #'s can still be tracked back to the person that bought it, at least its a lead. Ghost guns don't even offer that.

The 2 sides settled & details were not released. But the point is, he sat out with the very real possibility of not making any money.

Yesterday I was wondering if this was some kind of smokescreen - it just doesn't make sense at face value. But even then I can't figure out how this would potentially benefit Portland or the receiving team. Then today, more chatter about him sitting out, maybe its real, after all.

I think they are going to be the 1st team in 19 years to win the East back-to-back.
