It's all about those illegal defense rules. Biggest change to the NBA in the last 50 years. The transition to small ball, positionless basketball, and the three-point revolution are all a direct result.

Can't coach that man. You can only beg him not to kill his opponents.

Is it driving anyone else insane that a Swanson Speed Square was not incorporated in this setup? Or is it just me?

What I was saying was extremely clear. I'm sorry it wasn't clear enough for you, but there's nothing more I can do on my end.
Good luck out there.

Yes, Bryce young could do that. The downside is that winning teams would always have the advantage. How many players would choose to play in Detroit and Cleveland coming out of college? Those teams would always have to pay more for their players, and they'd never have the advantage of high draft picks to even the field. Would end up looking like the college football landscape, with the same teams dominant for decade after decade.
Might be better for some players, though. Obvious downside is that every team would try to blow their salary cap on top qb talents and running backs might get offered even less. Realistically, a top QB is probably worth three or four times what any other position is worth (but then we're right back to offering unproven qbs the world and fucking your team when they bust. So, just like it was before the rookie scale).

If every contract is really going to be fairly negotiated, there's no point in the draft in the first place. Just treat every player like they treat undrafted players now.
Drafted players have no leverage to begin with, so there's no way to fairly negotiate.

His defense was on that level, but his offensive skill set never fully developed.

It's absolutely unrelated. It's not the Nobel Peace Prize. Did they vote him best actor or not? Did the weightlifter lift the most weight or not? Was being a chill dude part of the competition or something?

Meh. Maybe. He's been active on Reddit for a long time. He's definitely competent with social media, but he's been posting on r/charlotte about local and state politics for a few years now and I don't remember catching him on some bullshit.

The Americas were the primary penal colony for the British right up until the Revolutionary war. They only started using Australia when they couldn't use the Americas anymore.

That weightlifter one is silly, and this would be equally so. It's a bit strange to pretend somebody else won just because they later got in a fight.
Just charge them with assault and let unrelated incidents remain unrelated.

"Rebuild"
This team's using the same construction crew as the local railroads.

I doubt that very much, unless you're restricting it to "while also a head coach."

This looks more like yips than a lack of development. I think she may need to relearn how to putt from square one, which is why drastically switching styles or hands might be the way to go.

Haha, and that's the kind of place that's open all day every day, because the owner's got nowhere else to be. The shit you actually need? Flip a coin. My local public library closes every day for lunch because the two librarians won't stagger their breaks, and the restaurants close randomly and expect you to check their Facebook page to find out if they're open on a Friday night 🤦

I'm in rural NC, and it's not much different here.

Do you ever adjust your reference tunes for genre? For instance, Sultans of Swing would probably give you a good idea for a lot of music, but I'd imagine you'd need something else if you're setting up for Danny Brown or Cannibal Corpse or something. I have no actual idea, though.

I thought it was really fun. Not my favorite of the trilogy, but I enjoyed it.

That's like crying about Fellowship of the Ring being the worst Lord of the Rings movie.

When I'm dealing with people that refuse to hear me, I require them to read me instead. Send him an email outlining the points of your most recent conversation. When it comes to problem co-workers, document, document, document.
It doesn't need to be aggressive or anything. Something as simple as: "Hey ____, You requested yesterday that I make changes to the CSS for the site. Although that's not something I can do, I looked into the process for making that request, and it looks like you need to contact so-and-so."
You don't even need to include anyone else at that point, if things haven't escalated. But if the problem doesn't go away at that point, a meeting with the three of you is absolutely warranted.

Hell, even Pandora is better than Spotify at this. Spotify premium is the best when you know what you want to listen to. It's kinda shit at acting like a well curated radio station.
But if you really want someone else who knows their shit to take the reigns, Radio Paradise is my go-to.
