If bought out Wade is considering Miami and the Lakers in addition to Cleveland.
http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/barry-jackson/article171193157.html

"Though ESPN reported that LeBron James� camp expects Dwyane Wade to end up with Cleveland if he reaches a buyout with the Bulls, a Wade associate has been telling people that Miami and Los Angeles are also appealing destinations for Wade.
Chicago media has reported recently that no Bulls buyout talks have happened yet with Wade, and it�s unclear when they will happen.
We would never profess to know what Wade is thinking; only Wade - for whom we have great respect - and those closest to him know that.
So we�re not attempting to mind-read Wade. But the person who mentioned Miami and L.A. to me was the same person who first alerted me to my scoop a few years ago that Wade�s negotiations with the Heat were not going well - the first time that information ever surfaced (and a year later, the sides divorced).
So food for thought.
As WINZ-940�s Andy Slater reported, Wade�s children are encrolled in a South Florida school this year, and the Heat certainly would consider a return."

I wish I had watched. Apparently Team USA was down 20 in the 2nd half and came back to win 81-76.

FIBA also released the All-AmeriCup First Team:

Marshall Plumlee always makes me laugh. I remember when he believed he had 0 chance at making the NBA. He talked about his main desire after Duke was joining the military. As soon as he heard teams might consider signing him, he never mentioned wanting to join the military again.

I was looking at the team USA roster and his picture was the true sad puffy eyed JVG. It's good to have him back coaching and screaming at some d-league guy who makes $26k a year to box out.

Him and Jordan are the top 2. I don't care what anyone says.

Wilt's Achilles' heel was his FT%. Basically 50%. If he'd had an average FT% he would've completely broken up the Celtics 1960s dynasty.

Brogeoisie posted:

outside of like 3 albums really ages us, drat

Ludwig van Beethoven - Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 is almost 200 years old. And the lyrics are even older.

Henchman of Santa posted:

Who picked Rocka Rolla of all possible Priest albums?

That was me. Their first five albums are hilariously underrated in the genre due to never getting radio play.

If the poll was held today I might go with an iamamiwhoami or Tove Lo one.

oh I Guess I didn't even vote. I was wondering about the lack of Thugga, although who tf knows what my favorite album really was in 2015. Barter 6 or The Score or Miseducation of Lauryn Hill or maybe Niggy Tardust. my brain's too full of holes and there's too much music so I might just be a N/A

meanwhile I missed King Joffrey proving that RC Buford and I are both the best GMs here.

Also to whomever picked Meat Is Murder, why did you choose the worst Smiths album and the only one that isn't a classic? That's weird man. There's like two good songs on that one.

I picked it, I really like that album, afterward seeing Loveless on the board I was a little regretful i didn't put another point on that but Meat is Murder is cool

Basically Headmaster Ritual is a badass opener, That Joke Isn't Funny Anympre is one of my all-time favorite songs which probably was a big factor, Well I Wonder is obviously really good. And my version of it has How Soon is Now as well. That's a lot of great songs! And the ones that are more forgettable are still prime jangle pop poo poo (the s/t is as well but doesnt have any amazing change of pace songs), whereas The Queen is Dead obviously has There is a Light and I Know It's Over and how do you beat that but the songs that don't massively own I don't enjoy as much on the whole.
