The Clippers' net earnings are firmly negative and by far the worst in the league, and the annual revenue is on par with small markets like OKC and Milwaukee despite the team being in the giant LA media market.
Time to move 'em to Seattle!

Wembanyama had already taken 403 3-pointers and blocked 176 shots this season. No player in NBA history has ever finished a season with those numbers, and Wembanyama did it before the All-Star break.

**angry confused yelling noises**
Honestly, I don't root for or against the Mavs, it's that whenever I watch a game of theirs I just want to watch a good basketball game, and we got that with Luka on the team. So yeah, even I am making **angry confused yelling noises** over this trade. I guess I need to jump on Bluesky to see if Mark Cuban is talking about this trade.
posted by NoMich at 11:45 AM on February 02, 2025
That game 7 between Atlanta and Minnesota in 1991 is probably the greatest game I've ever seen. I was rooting for the Twins just because of Jack Morris and he pitched all 10 dang innings. Incredible.
The Jack Morris look dominated among white suburban dudes around Detroit in the '80s and early '90s.
posted by NoMich at 05:56 PM on February 01, 2025
TIL that Jack Morris didn't start pitching for real until he got to college. He didn't pitch much at all before then and when he got to college, his coach informed him that he will not be a third baseman, but a full time pitcher. Wild given how kids specialize in single sport these days and their role is determined back in middle school.

They have only something like one week for this tournament, so to avoid stacking games upon games in a compressed time period, they need to narrow the the amount of teams.

Yeah, I'm seeing that sentiment quite a bit, but I'm pretty jazzed for it. I like international play when the best of the best of each country is playing. I understand why more nations cannot be involved in this particular tournament and that's a shame, but it should still be fun.

It absolutely was a good trade for Colorado. Martin Necas has a ton of talent, but maybe Rod Brind'Amour's system wasn't right for him. Speaking for myself, the dude is mostly razzle dazzle with the puck, but he can kinda be a turnover machine at the end of the razzle dazzle plays. But hey, being in a different system may tap into all of his potential.
Jack Drury will be one of those guys that won't get a lot of points, but is excellent everywhere else, and he'll probably be doing it for 20 years.
posted by NoMich at 03:20 PM on January 26, 2025
GM Eric Tulsky is saying how they are already in negotiations with Rantanen's agent, but will probably take a while to hammer out a deal. He's very optimistic right now. Us fans had a feeling something was going to happen because the team was making roster changes almost daily in an effort to free up what little cap space they had.
The Canes do have close to $40 million in cap space starting this summer and I don't think that's taking future cap space increases that will more than likely occur this summer into account.
