Yeah it’s a bit of a head scratcher. Like if he comes back the year after and is close to his same output they have him on a discount then.
But they’re paying him all of this next season just to take that chance. And if he doesn’t recover well there’s more downside.
Feels mostly a sentimental move
Sad it didn’t workout for him in Milwaukee but glad the Bucks and him were both able to move on relatively well!
He’s on his rookie deal so they’re giving him the Rookie Max Extension. Means he’ll be eligible for a Supermax if he hits the right acolades
He’s said he doesn’t regret it and I definitely get that with it being G7 of the finals but damn does it suck to see this.
Even if he fully recovers (big IF) the team’s trajectory was definitely altered as seen by the Turner move since ownership wasn’t trying to pay the tax after the injury.
I don’t think it will in the short term since Russia needs allies and the West has made it clear they will never be allies with Russia. Russia doesn’t gain anything by splitting with China now or in the short term.
Much longer term it was always bound to happen. Russia only gets critical support around here because it’s going against the West in this specific conflict. It’s still a capitalist country with reactionary views on a lot of things.
That’s going to eventually put it at odds with China and other AES countries unless there’s a change in power in Russia.
Sounds like Kings need to cut some salary for other moves but yeah this one was wild.
The Nuggets have an actual playable backup for Jokic for the first time ever and they didn’t have to give up any picks.
Thanks! Yeah it’s going to be tough to find a better stretch than Turner. Definitely seems a financial move from pacers owners unfortunately
Reported 4 year $113M deal
Yeah that’s my guess, with Hali having a torn Achilles they might just be talking an L next season
It’s wild that after all the years of trade rumors the one time it felt like Turner was going to for sure stay he gets traded lmao.
Really not sure why this went down, waiting for more details and I’m at the aquarium with my in-laws rn
Does anyone have any sources for the different thresholds?
It still doesn’t feel real!
I used to not put any stock in the draft is rigged stuff but having the #1 pick go to teams trading stars to LA twice now, Bulls getting Rose, etc. is all a little sus lol
I get the hesitation since in US politics they often get conflated and I can’t say I’ve followed him very closely but someone else shared this. I know he’s also advocating for city owned grocery stores.
lol can the bucks trade dame for holiday again?
Nowhere in this meme does it say that “both sides are the same”. It’s (correctly) showing how both parties don’t give a shit about the working class.
Republicans are horrible but you can’t expect the Democrats to save or help you from them after we have tons of evidence showing they will also break strikes, pass right wing immigration laws, attack protesters, support genocide, and do almost nothing to stop rising fascism.
Also trying to diminish supplying and funding a genocide to just “a single foreign policy issue” is pretty fucked up and not even accurate. Leftists were willing to overlook hundreds of issues we had with Kamala as a candidate if she could just do the bare fucking minimum of not actively funding and supplying a genocide and she couldn’t even do that.
Really unfortunate. Hope it’s not an Achilles tear
It’s here we had one pinned post for the series.
Reported $10B valuation based on the purchase price.
Teaching a bunch of lies about American exceptionalism and how imperialism is actually good isn’t what I’d call “fact based”
Right like how democrats in nearly all major cities increased police funding and almost none passed any meaningful reform.
But don’t remotely consider universal healthcare
Preserve the status quo which I wouldn’t call a democracy. A democracy enacts the will of the people, democrats don’t even have a democratic primary for their own party.
