Westbrook Retires (www.espn.com)
*Proposes to increase marginal tax rate by 1% - WaPo: "Literally Stalin" in c/news@hexbear.net

And the dems couldn’t even allow this, had to throw everything behind another “centrist”.

Another Clippers-Kawhi side deal in c/nba@lemmy.world
[–] TrippyFocus@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

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.

Seems like it may end up being a deal to get the tax charges dropped.

July 16th OTA in c/marvelsnap@lemmy.ml

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.

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the delay on getting this up, got a bit busy with work and family. Below are the main options I saw mentioned in the other post as well as a brief overview of the instance. 

I’ll create a comment for each option to vote on and feel free to add any instance if you want to include it. 

I think we can plan to make the move prior to the season start just to give the offseason for voting but I’m open to changing that if others feel differently! 

Lemmy.zip

There were a couple recommendations for this one since it stays federated with most instances which I think would be good for a sports community. 

Lemmy.ca

Similarly there were recommendations for this one since it’s stable and pretty open. I know a couple members of the mod team are on this one as well which I think helps with mod log notifications which thankfully we haven’t had to worry about too much so far. 

Piefed.zip or Piefed.ca

Piefed is different from Lemmy but they both communicate with each other so people don’t have to worry about creating new accounts. 

Piefed can apparently do community flairs so we could do team flairs which would be a nice addition. Think polls is also a feature.

There has been some drama with Piefeds creator though. I’m not technical enough to know how much that would impact specific instances but just figured I’d make people aware.

Sorry been busy with work and family. I’ll make a new post shortly that puts up options to have the community vote.

Probably give it the offseason for voting and we can move before the new season if that sounds good with everyone.

The Celtics are trading Brown to the 76ers in c/nba@lemmy.world
[–] TrippyFocus@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Was he really that mad that they felt they had to trade him for this?

Edit: To think they could have had Giannis if they just included Hugo and now they got Paul George lol

Lakers Trade for Walker Kessler in c/nba@lemmy.world
[–] TrippyFocus@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah the fit is good and I looked at the available centers after commenting and realized there’s not many options available that are a good fit so it’s a bit more understandable.

Really all in on this core with the PO and trade kicker though.

Lakers Trade for Walker Kessler in c/nba@lemmy.world
[–] TrippyFocus@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Kessler's $130M deal includes a player option in the fourth season, plus a full trade kicker

Feel like this is an asset overpay for Kessler especially with that contract structure.

Spider-Man Brand New Day Season (lemmy.ml)
 

Which cards are everyone excited about?

Looks like the season pass card (Spider-Man BND) is going to be one of the best 1 drops on the game.

Boomerang is the first bounce card in awhile.

Tombstone should be good with muse/weapon X decks.
