shams said a while ago the suns are exploring all options with CP3, they are not necessarily waiving him.

still, I really don't get this fit with the suns. too many overlapping skills, not enough complementary skills with KD Book and Beal. they need to move CP3 and/or Ayton for depth, not another elite midrange shooter.

On the other hand Beal looks like a much better fit in Miami.

supposedly they're trying to send out Lowry and Oladipo, so it would look like this:

rumor is the heat are looking to trade Lowry, Oladipo, and "multiple picks".

that particular screenshot is from the trade machine at https://fanspo.com/nba/trade-machine. The green numbers are player options. blue is team options.

But normally I just google "[team] payroll" and the first hit is usually basketball reference which is quicker, but does not have the trading feature.

spotrac is another reference that is extremely thorough, but way more data to sift through.

to me lemmy has taken a big dip in activity the last couple days, particularly in the more niche communities. hopefully it grows back over time, but I'm not that optimistic.

100% would be. they wanna go public and cash in, it's only a matter of time.

then they'll come to Lemmy and be just as frustrated with a confusing new architecture, buggy website, and apps in their infancy.

you could have said the same about Kyrie and that worked pretty well. the important thing is CP3 is at least a decent spot up shooter whereas Russ was not.

Also Harden and CP3 were working really well until CP3 hit injuries.

I'm hoping it's Beal for Herro and maybe Robinson or whatever other filler is needed. Probably the most value the wiz could hope for.

The Front Office podcast also said the nets are interested, Simmons plus a buttload of picks would also be nice.

It doesn't help that most instances are named/marketed as being for a specific subset of people. Like French, Canadian, LGBTQ, NSFW, US midwest, etc etc. Lemmy.world is generic enough to appeal to most new users.

you have Lemmy saying, "join anywhere!", but then all the instances are like "only join here if you are X, Y, or Z!". It is understandably confusing for new people.

Another team that’s had Bradley Beal trade talks with the Wizards: The Kings, sources tell me and @sam_amick. It’s believed Beal would consider Sacramento given his no-trade clause, but right now there does not appear a clear pathway for the two sides.

the thing “actually” competing is a genderless vehicle

I don't think this is 100% true though. F1 drivers must be very fit to tolerate ~2 hours of high G forces. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that male drivers can tolerate that easier than female drivers.

firstly, not all Air Force pilots must pull heavy Gs for two hours straight. And it's not just a matter of "tolerating" the Gs, but tolerating them while operating an F1 car as precisely as the other drivers. The more strength and endurance a driver has the easier that will be.

Secondly, there are like 20,000+ Air Force pilots, so there is way more opportunity there. Do you think if they hand picked the 30 best fighter pilots any would be women? Or alternatively, if we looked at the top 20,000 motorsport drivers, maybe there would be 5% women.

lastly, I'm not saying it's ONLY biology, of course there are additional factors involved as well.

thank you for your eloquent explanation and honest engagement with my points. have a nice day.

someone will take beal. it's just a matter of what value, if any, the wiz can get in return.

acosmichippo,
@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

I've heard the opposite recently, like if harden leaves they want to roll with Maxey. So far Miami looks like the most likely destination in terms of prior interest and available salary matching pieces.

anyone upgrade from 6.11.5 yet? will probably just wait til 6.12.1 at least.

also can we please stop it with the trope "oh no, how are we going to survive this jump through space without a suit? ...Oh whaddya know we're just fine." Just give them fucking suits, it's lazy writing to create more suspense for no reason.

someone who also has a bad contract they can swap. bad contracts get traded all the time.
