NBA@lemmy.world•The Los Angeles Clippers Have Been Stripped of 5 First Round Picks in Kawhi CaseEnglish
101·11 days agoWow really glad they threw the book at Ballmer and the Clippers.
Would have really lost my interest in the league if they had let this slide since it just makes the richest teams have a massive advantage. Really glad they did this.

2·14 days agoProbably shoulda used

No worries I probably follow the game closer than I should lol
I think it’s a smart time to offer a cheap bundle for people who want to try out the card after a buff

23·16 days agoThank you for adding that! ~$3/bbl doesn’t sound great but I’m comparing that to wholesale prices that already have the infrastructure developed so all things considered (especially the military threats) getting the infrastructure and the funds isn’t as bad as it initially sounds.
Still not a great situation but until they or their allies can better fend off the great satan it’s about survival and the communes retaining power.

15·16 days agoReally need to see the details on this agreement cause that is really concerning unless the Venezuelan people get huge benefits.
Optimistically it’ll push the US to invest in production infrastructure which can later be nationalized when the global situation is better but have to see the details.
Are you talking about the variant bundles? They’ve done that for a while I think or at least I’ve noticed it over the last couple of months.

1·18 days agoIt’s mostly going to be how the instances handle federation and other policies, basically the same as .ca and .zip are different.

NBA@lemmy.world•DeMar DeRozan has agreed to sign with the Denver NuggetsEnglish
1·23 days agoYeah only way they can make up for Watson is upgrading like zeke with the pics, otherwise it’s a step back and wasting jokic prime
No problem! I’ll keep posting the OTA and other news just was a bit busy irl so took a break from lemmy for a bit.
Heard draft mode might be coming next week so will definitely post that if it is!
Only thing for Denver would be if they can package these with Zeke to get a solid player.
I hope that’s a this offseason move cause they need depth and you want time to build chemistry but I’m guessing its going to be a trade deadline move.

5·1 month agoAnd the dems couldn’t even allow this, had to throw everything behind another “centrist”.
Saw somewhere else bring up that ballmer was already fined for something like this was Deandre Jordan. Really don’t see how you can just give him another slap on the wrist.
Way too many instances of Kawhi getting paid to do nothing for them to not take picks at least, really may need to suspend Kawhi for a year too at this point.

4·1 month agoSeems like it may end up being a deal to get the tax charges dropped.
Yeah that surprised me but guessing they think the nerfs to mother Askani will hurt the deck he’s in enough.
I honestly don’t know how else to balance him without killing the card other than maybe raising to a 4 cost and adjusting power up a bit.

From my understanding the CBA doesn’t give silver the power to suspend players for this so the contract voiding is really the only thing he could’ve done and I think they went a little light on Kawhi so he doesn’t appeal which leaves Ballmer little options to fight this.
It was light enough that Kawhi even admitted people around him (I.e. his uncle) did this which really seals the clippers fate here.
