If I won the Mega Millions and then Power Ball the next week I would buy the cheapest team on the market and you guys could all be my Co-GM's. We would tank the first couple years though, gotta be OK with that.

And as for how many people in the world could do what James Dolan does....

See, I disagree with this. James Dolan has a unique ability to not just make startlingly bad decisions, but also to interfere with his employees' ability to make good decisions as well. There might only be 5-10 owners and/or CEOs with that truly next level incompetence.

I love that u edited this post too. Like was it even worse seven minutes earlier? How could it have possibly been? Happy Independence Day.


Watching Kenneth Fareid go from Ultimate Champion of Fanty Basketball to How Do We Dump This Guy? has been my saddest part of the nba over the last few years. He was a cool dude too.

The ironic thing is that tech bros tend to look down on peers who aren't perpetually chasing cash and more lucrative offers.

That's not true, they often dumbly brag about all the work they do for free because they're even worse than you think.

Quite a few of them will view you staying at a company for many years as a negative. Like you're just slumming it, especially if you aren't at one of the top tier companies. And the best way to advance is to continually leave companies to chase better offers.

Oh sure, but the opposite also happens, where Google and the like are referred to as a "Retirement Home" and if you're not scrambling and entrepreneuring and doing a new startup then you're a schmuck.

George Hill is a good bridge PG. He can start while Fox figures things out and even play opposite him when he's ready for more. And we still have room for a SF. But that's a year longer than I would have liked
