Well it happened. AD traded to LA for Lonzo, Ingram, Hart, and three first round picks including this year’s 4th… via Woj. Still a fun League Pass team with Zion, but probably more like the Kings than the Nuggets record-wise in the West next year.

Good shit Canada. (I called it, Raptors in six 😝)

We get hit a lot. You’ve got two options. Go to the mound or go to first base. But don’t sit there and jabber. Make up your mind. Do one or the other. Right now, we lead the league in getting hit by pitches, and our guys go to first base.

Whelp I broke down and bought a new iPad Pro.

Put in some improvement to the site for live weblogs that I can’t wait to give a spin tomorrow for game six of the NBA Finals. While the event is live, the page will auto-refresh every two minutes. I’m not sure if that’s the right length, but we will see. Along with that, entries will be in order of newest to oldest, from the top down. Together, it allows it to be something you can keep open and passively look at if you so desired. However, after the event, the auto-refresh will be turned off and entries will be flipped, oldest to newest, so that it can be read like a normal post for those who come to it after the fact.

People will bring flowers to your funeral but don’t bring you soup when you sick. That’s what I’m seeing for KD right now. Everybody’s fake acting like they care about KD’s best interest when they don’t. It’s phony to me.

Going to spend some time updating the site to improve live weblogs. While live, it will auto-refresh every five minutes with new posts going to the top. Once it’s over, the auto-refresh will turn off and the order will reverse so it can read chronologically from top to bottom.

Listening to the Bill Simmons Podcast today, and one thing caught my ear: Lonzo Ball for the 7th pick. I don’t hate it for Chicago. That’s only a possibility if Phoenix passes on him for the 6th pick, given they are also looking for a PG. Lakers are looking to stockpile assets for an AD trade and Lonzo seems adamantly against NOLA. For the Bulls, there’s a chance all three PGs (Ja, Garland, Coby) are off the board by 7, and Ja is probably the only sure thing anyways. With Lonzo, you know what you are getting and there’s a good chance hasn’t reached his full potential yet. He plays D, distributes well, and can impact the game without the ball in his hand, which is exactly what’s needed alongside LaVine, Porter, and Lauri. The biggest downside is Lavar…

Raptors going to Gasol early and often is very smart. Cousins, who still doesn’t have the endurance, has become the Warriors second option on offense due to injuries. Attack him as much as you can, wear him out, and lower his offensive efficiency and overall availability.

I’m trying to imagine a world where the Apple Watch completely replaces the iPhone for me, and I think I dig it. My iPhone is basically a glorified iPod for me in the sense it’s main uses are audio: podcasts through Overcast, music through Spotify, books through Audible, and news through the Economist. Reading (as opposed to listening to) news, taking and editing photos, web browsing, and dealing with email are some major things I’d be missing, but that’s okay. Maps through CarPlay is the one big sticking point for me. With that being said, I don’t currently own an Apple Watch because I prefer my dumb watch. But if all of those listening features were to become accessible through a stand alone cellular watch, which if they aren’t already I’m sure they will in the near future, it might be worth it.
