  1. More interesting developments today.

     

    I think, SHORT TERM, Kyrie has much more value in a trade. You could move him for someone like Butler and sign CP3 at a lower contract. Long term, I think that is the worst thing the Cavaliers could do as an organization. The dude is (can be) the future of that franchise, long after Lebron hangs it up.

     

    What are the odds they can trade Love for Butler and pick up Griffin for a 4? Now that would be fun to watch.

    That still leads to who's gonna play the 5 though? I'm a Durant/Bulls fan though so i don't care if the cavs get better lol.

  2. I'm not a Cavs fan and I don't really care at all other than hoping that the Spurs and ________ (essentially, probably, wherever Lebron is) can field competitive squads and keep the league interesting.

    Then as a Spurs fan how do you feel about an older Paul coming in at PG? (a rumor swirling)

  3. Thought this might be a fun discussion - where do the Cavs go from here? I think it goes without saying they are the league's chance of beating the Warriors for the foreseeable future.

     

    Reports suggest they're interested in bringing in another superstar - potentially Carmelo or recent interest in PG13. What do you think their best move is and why?

     

    I don't like Carmelo. As a Nuggets fan personally... Carmelo is an elite talent with a knack for losing wherever he goes. I would love if the Cavs added Paul George, but I'm not sure where he would fit into the lineup . Specifically, how am I putting Lebron, PG, and Love all on the court at a time? Slide one into a 2, or don't play a 5?

     

     

    I don't really see a way Love would still be there in that situation tbh. I think either Love or Kyrie would be a casualty of a PG13 trade. I honestly think a guy like Blake Griffin could be a good off-season pick up if they wanted to go down that road.
  4. Can't tell if all the talk of massive improvement is coming because he is a commit and people want to be high on him or if he really did get leaps and bounds better? If he truly did make that much improvement, it's exciting to think of where he'll be when he reports and then how far he can progress once he starts getting even more fine tuned coaching and strength training.

    His main video on Rivals is pretty nasty. He blew by a couple of dude and just brute forced his way to a sack on another.

     

    Will Farniok did pretty well to tbh but he was real grabby on the ol.

  5.  

    We had this conversation when Randy Gregory got busted.

     

     

    We had this conversation when Stanley Morgan, Jr. got busted.

     

    We'll have this same conversation when the next player gets busted.

     

    Same people making the same arguments, some guys coming out of the woodwork to take potshots at our players, all of it's the same.

     

    Since we're dancing this same dance, again, I'll put my money in the juke box and play a song, too:

     

    Pot should be legal.

     

    Pot is not currently legal (most places).

     

    So don't smoke pot.

    Well, pot should not be legal.

     

    Pot is not currently legal (most places).

     

    So don't smoke pot.

     

    If pot shouldn't be legal, neither should Alcohol. In fact it impairs you worse than weed and serves no medical purpose... Should we go back to the prohibition days then?

    Agreed - so let me take a step back, perhaps this is a dumb question but I need a refresher - why is it that we don't already do that? Single votes are the answer.

    Because neither major party wants to see that. Also no other parties have the funding to prop up a candidate properly atm unfortunately.
    I like the rank-choice vote system passed in Maine last year. Change is difficult but possible.
    I'm not saying I'm not a proponent for a new system just saying change is hard. It may be a lone bright spot that comes out of this debacle of an election and presidency. Let's hope the people are heard that it's not okay for the democrats to prop up one candidate over another rather than making it a true competition. Let's hope that republicans realize that their way of thinking isn't a lasting ideology for the future and that people like Trump are seen as loons now instead of far right etc. But really, let's hope we're not stuck with a crap system for electing people to take care of our country much longer.

  8. I'm not interested in the movie and I would never attend an all women event.

     

    That said it's laughable that anyone is upset by this. In fact I find it unlikely anyone is actually upset; they're just pretending. Anyone who is "upset" is likely also someone who thinks sexism (against women) doesn't really exist. They're also likely the same type of people as those who don't understand why there isn't White history month.

     

     

    NM - you ask why men want to see it. My fiance wants to see it and I'm not sure why so I guess I'll ask him tomorrow. He rarely ever watches movies at all so maybe he really liked the TV show.

    I think he may be alluding to the "hot chick" factor, but imo she's more beautiful than hot and I want to watch it for the strong female lead and really hope it doesn't suck like other female super hero movies did (catwoman, Elektra, etc). Like someone else said, she was one of the better parts of BVS and I actually hope Chris Pine's awful self doesn't ruin it.

  10. Was set to announce on May 30th but delaying now.

     

    Had a Top 4 of Florida State, Georgia, Alabama and Ohio State but says Nebraska is now is in the mix making it a Top 5.

     

    Looking to visit Alabama, Ohio State and Nebraska this summer.

     

    Early enrollee.

    Wow that's a lot of good offers we just jumped ahead of out of nowhere in a top 5 with some huge programs. DWill showing his worth and probably some bookie peer recruiting too.

    Sorry man, we're full.

    Sarcasm or no? Not sure how we could be okay with turning down a top 50 recruit.

    Very serious. lol that's the funny part

    I just don't understand the reasoning for us telling him or Avery no. We will have attrition, we always do. Plus to be honest we need linemen who will make an impact as I'm hesitant on everyone outside of the Davis boys.

    I really like Moore and think he's a great athlete.

     

    But I'm not quite sure I'm buying the times - perhaps their hand-held even though they're reporting them to the 100th.

     

    There were only seven guys at the NFL Combine this year that ran under 4.40, and none of them were taller than 6-0.

    I agree but he does have an offer to run track at Florida state. Kid must have legit speed.

    True. But he'll almost assuredly count against the football scholarship count wherever he goes so there is literally zero down-side to these schools offering him the chance to run track.

     

    Plus, it doesn't appear that he's a true sprinter. 300 Hurdles, Long Jump, Triple Jump and Relays last year at Yoakum.

     

    And the reason I mentioned heights is because taller guys are not usually the fast starters it takes to run a great 40.

     

    So I'm not saying it's impossible. Just that I think it's unlikely even though he is a great athlete.

    Kevin White was 6'5 and ran a 4.3 didnt he?

    Another Prager U video to promote discussion.

     

    Dennis Prager asks and tries to answer the question: Why Isn't Communism as Hated as Nazism?

     

    Think about it - why do people bring up the 'Hitler' card in arguments and not the Stalin, Mao, Lenin card? I haven't thought about this before - but Mr Prager has.

    Because the theory behind Communism isn't nearly as bad or evil as that of the Nazis. Communisms core beliefs were true equality. Equal shares, equal pay etc. Now corruption killed it with horrible leaders. But the premise itself is nowhere as bad IMO.
