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?

 

The MPJ trade got them below the tax line enough to pull it off.

 

Nuggets get:

-Can Johnson

Nets get:

  • Michael Porter Jr.
  • Unprotected 2032 First Rounder

If you ever want to see an Elk close up I would definitely recommend visiting Estes Park during Rutt (spelling?) season.

Lived in Denver for a couple years and my wife and I would always drive up there to see them!

Glad to see the Elk showing solidarity!

If you have a degree you could do online tutoring.

I did it on the side a few years ago to help save for my wedding and while it doesn’t pay the greatest unless it’s for high demand subjects, you do get to set your hours and it’s pretty chill.

Feel like this is way more important than the spend.

U.S. depletes 15-20% of THAAD defending Israel from Iran.

Some back of the napkin math based on the article:

$800M at ~$15M each is ~53 interceptors. If that’s 15% of the global stockpile that means the total was around 353 and they’re down to about 300 and the article mentions Lockheed Martin can only produce 50-60/year.

It took Iran only a week to use up a years worth of interceptors. Not to mention the cost difference between the interceptors and the missiles fired at it.

This is not going to be an effective defense against any sort of prolonged engagement with a country like China or Russia.

Yeah I was expecting Loki to be the first kid until they revealed the name. Figured he had a rough upbringing but not having your mom literally throw you off a mountain the day you were born bad.

Will be interesting to see how Harald gets tied up with the world government.
