Going down the flat earth rabbit hole is a bewildering and ultimately pointless waste of time guys, 95% of people who claim they believe it really don't and are just saying it because it's trendy. You're better off moving on and talking about the Dunk Contest or something.

There really isn't a more fun conversation to be had.

The only conspiracy I'm interested in is the one behind the disappearance of the All Star Weekend fashion show. Why did the psychic vampire Adam Silver decide to cancel it after one time?

Why did the psychic vampire Adam Silver decide to cancel it after one time? I did a little research into this. The infrastructure for getting the fashion show up (including getting Victoria's Secret models) only made sense when there was the overlap with New York Fashion Week. Also the show got lower ratings in that time slot on TNT than when Shaq and Chuck had a footrace the year before

Bleacher Report: Orlando Magic reportedly turned down a trade for DeMarcus Cousins earlier this season @verizon. Ric Bucher: “Multiple league sources said the Magic turned down the chance to deal Nikola Vucevic and either Evan Fournier or draft picks to the Kings”. Also the Pistons considering trading Reggie Jackson for DJ Augustin and Jeff Green. Which means Reggie Jacksons knees are totally hosed forever or at least for long enough to mean they'll still be a borderline 8th seed in the first season in little caesars pizza pyramid

Fast Luck posted:Paul George hesitant on new Pacers contract, wants to 'play on a winning team' Yeah I think he would prefer to stay in Indy, but he's frustrated. He's the only perimeter defender on the entire team and really the only reliable 3pt shooter since Miles is so streaky. Trading the 1st rounder for help is a good idea, since they need to be better next year to convince him to stay. A solid wing defender or good 3pt shooter would do wonders for the team, and there won't be much salary flexibility after this season if they re-sign Teague.

Don't go down the flat earth rabbit hole. I watched a bunch of those videos last year and my YouTube recommendations were toast for months. I can describe the videos down to a T. Usually around 15 minutes in to the videos the rants about a global cabal of Jews starts up.

Yeah the amount of restraint shown before blowing up into other conspiracy theories is always the same. 15-20 minutes every time. You can tell they're trying to hold it back so you'll buy the premise of a flat earth before they get you with the other stuff.

Those videos will have even people who know how ridiculous it is saying. "Yeah your wrong as gently caress about this flat earth thing but I can respect the effort" and then 20 minutes later it's Jews and Chemtrails all the way down.

It's been depressing watching the Pacers get a little worse every year, and I think it's clear that Larry's past his prime in basketball operations. The Pacers best recent years involved getting significant value out of both Lance Stephenson and Roy Hibbert, though, which kind of seems insane at this point. Paul George has been having his worst year, injured one aside, since his first couple, but I wouldn't want to see him go. I especially wouldn't want to see him playing for the loving Celtics.
