Decided to try something new on a basswood oval I got on clearance. Tree burned by hand. Colors are Minwax water based color series wood stain, no paint was used. I’ve done gradients with paint on canvas before but never tried it on wood or with wood stain. I think it turned out pretty well for a first attempt. I haven’t...
My ideal timeline would be a full tear down and rebuild with Scottie being at the center of that. Trading for Dame eliminates that direction.
I don’t believe we are good enough with Dame to contend and a second move would require sending Siakam/OG which based on current belief are rated to high by the raptors hurting their return or are not valued high enough by teams around the league. Both which hurt the team and don’t really add enough positive value in versus value going out.
But I agree, currently there is no one timeline but two which is messing everything up.
You’re completely right from an asset management perspective. I’m just commenting on the human element. If Morey promised and reneged, I can understand why he’s pissed and wants to be traded.
You’re completely right, they are screwed either way. I just think with their new stadium opening soon and the higher tax thresholds, they are going to play a little hardball.
I thought I’d miss the void that r/nba left but this has grown (and keeps growing) as a community. Been trying to do my part by being much more active than I was on Reddit.

One of the GOATs. Busta and Luda never got the respect they deserved due to them being “clowns” in their videos. Glad Busta is getting the recognition he deserves.
Cursive is making a comeback. Relegated in 2006 to an optional piece of learning in Ontario elementary schools, cursive writing is set to return as a mandatory part of the curriculum starting in September.
I think the bigger issue is having teachers who don’t want to teach cursive teach it. Growing up when I learned it, you could tell the teacher didn’t care for it and spent minimal time assisting with not just learning but learning correctly. If the teacher doesn’t care, why would the students?
This episode felt very lacklustre. It missed on the tech mark (barely anything tech related) and the horror element wasn’t fully committed to. Walking the line of tech and horror has not been working this season and Black Mirror needs to commit to one or the other.
