Don't know whether this is interesting or not. But I'm back at work now after a paternity leave for my recent baby, and it's amazing how much AI has completely changed our workplace. We use AI for almost 100% of our coding now, almost never directly writing or touching code. We mostly just review or ...

The new deal doesn’t bother me so much, but I agree on the cost to acquire him. You don’t send 2 1sts for someone who starts half a season.

This coming 2026-27 season he may not start at all. Or maybe not until the very last few weeks/month of the season.

Don't know how much stock to put in this article about how the Warriors are trying to pursue a trade for Booker. I'm not opposed to trading Booker in the right scenario, but I can't imagine that the Warriors would have the right assets to make it worthwhile. Not very excited about a few picks and ...

I like Mark Williams in theory. But our expenditure of assets to acquire him, plus the cap space we are now using on his new deal, are looking pretty unwise already.

That's wild; Williams goes down as the ink is barely dry on his extension. At least it doesn't seem directly related to his previous injuries and hopefully isn't a sign that his wheels are busted long-term. But I suspect he'll miss a good chunk of the season recovering. This will give Maluach an ...

I don't have an NYT account. Kawhi's deal is sketchy, but is it a crime? What crime would it be, fraud? Is it illegal to get an "endorsement" deal and get paid to do basically nothing? Aren't there a lot of people (you see this in nepotism and political circles) who are employed as "consultants" at ...

I'm just wondering who your favorite player (that you've seen play for them) might be from each team (realizing that there will be some teams that you skip because you're indifferent to them or just plain hate them) -


OK, this is fun. Here's my attempt:

Atlanta - Dominique Wilkins
Boston ...

Seeing as how I haven't ever hung out with any of you bums in person, I don't know how I could narrow it down to just 2. I want to have a big get-together one of these days where several of us could meet up and hang out. But I'm not down in AZ that often, and when I am, it's usually in Tucson. Maybe ...

If Villain karate chops an opponent this season, I'll buy his jersey.

It’s crazy to me that Robert Horry is saying not to sleep on the Suns.

Maybe his reasoning is, "I don't play for this Suns team, so they won't throw in the towel."

@Mori Chu , now that you've had a little more time with your Steam Machine, how's it been?


The kids and work limit my gaming time more than I'd like. But nevertheless the Steam Machine has been a real joy. It is simple, plays well, performs well for any game I want to play (I'm not throwing the ...

My suggestion is we agree to set aside the trans/Sophie thread of discussion at this point. Seems like folks have generally had a chance to say their 2 cents and state their views, and we don't totally agree on it, and while I don't want to censor or delete posts, I also don't want the board to get ...

Ben Simmons signs with the Kings.

The NBA has issued a ruling in the Clippers / Kawhi case. I'm reading that they are stripping the team of five future 1st round picks and fining them $30m, and suspending Ballmer and Lawrence Frank. It sounds like Kawhi himself is not being very heavily punished, only being given a $700k fine. Wow ...

I think they're stating an objection to Sophie's politics and recent statements on various issues.


I know what they are doing and it’s ridiculous.


I don't think it is ridiculous, regardless of whether one agrees or disagrees with Cunningham. If you don't like somebody's views and don't ...

Just for fun: Bleacher Report just gave their rankings for the best NBA player at every age. Did they get any wrong? (They have Donovan Mitchell as the league's best 29-year-old, beating out Devin Booker. boo!) Here's the list:

19. Cooper Flagg
20. Dylan Harper
21. Kon Knueppel
22. Victor ...

Thanks for these, Bone. Nice to have some sizzle on slow news days like this.

I will definitely try RDR2 again on Steam Machine. (Will need to tell it to install and let it sit overnight; the thing is like 111 gb, oof.) I had that sense that you described, that it would get better after I got out of the first few rigid tutorial hours, but I never could quite get there.

It ...
