Yeah, they’re kind of stuck. If Dallas trade AD for his actual market value then the Luka trade just looks so much worse. But trading him is the right choice and the longer they wait the worse the return will be.
- Comment on Antony Davis to Undergo Hand Surgery; Out Several Months 2 weeks ago:
There’s always a market for the right price. This isn’t a Trae Young situation, Davis is undeniably a top ten talent… when he actually plays.
- Comment on Antony Davis to Undergo Hand Surgery; Out Several Months 2 weeks ago:
I guess AD is staying in Dallas this year lol
- Comment on State of the NBA Trade Market 2 weeks ago:
I think Trae Young is seen as a losing player that basically has a net negative impact on a team, at least at his current salary. The other players mentioned are seen as additions that will improve your chances of winning.

It’s no one’s fault but they have no more moves to make.
I disagree with you here. The Bucks have consistently put a sub par team around Giannis for his entire career. Giannis had to put up one of the greatest nba finals performances of all time to win that one title.

- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 months ago:
Yeah, that all sounds reasonable.
Personally, I think Valve should price the SM as low as possible since they might have a real chance of replacing Xbox in the console market. Maybe they’ll lower prices after they have proof of demand like with the Steam Deck OLED?

$1000 would totally be dead on arrival. Framework sells there far superior PC for $1200

- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 months ago:
Valve was very clear that it would be priced as a PC and not a console
Valve hasn’t been clear about the price at all though. That could simple mean it won’t be sold at a loss like console have historically been.
Tom from Moore’s Law estimated the cost to build the steam machine at $425 and the steam deck at around $300. If the Steam Machine is sold for the save $100 profit that’s a total of $525.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 months ago:
The Gabe box is more laptop-esque than PC really. The Steam Machine GPU is closer to a 7600m as both use (28cu) vs the desktop 7600(32cu).
Afaik the CPU is only 2 full zen4 cores and 4 zen4c, which would also save on cost. But, honestly I don’t remember where I read that so don’t take the CPU part as fact. If I find the source I’ll link it later
- Comment on Mavericks expected to fire GM Harrison 2 months ago:
I think either the owner wanted to trade Luka because they don’t understand that NBA players aren’t normal employees. Or there’s some frozen envelope level shit going on here.
You gotta be a real dumb s.o.b to make that trade for basketball reasons lol
- Comment on Mavericks expected to fire GM Harrison 2 months ago:
I’m sure skinny Luka having a historic start this season isn’t helping lol.

This seems like a really dumb take to me. Gambling had been a problem for the NBA (and sports in general) for years before the gambling ads.

- Comment on Presenting the Oklahoma City New Arena 6 months ago:
The team was going to move to OKC no matter what. The move had nothing to do with getting a new arena or not.
My opinion is that money would be better spent going to fund schools considering Oklahoma is ranked 49th out of all 50 states. But this looks cool to I guess lol.

I always felt the criticisms of Bronny was overblown. Kid almost died like a year ago, there’s got to be some rehab after that, mentally and/or physically.

Great move for Miami.
Solid move for the Clippers.
🫡 Good luck in next year’s draft lottery Utah.
- Comment on Ayton to sign 2-year deal with Lakers 6 months ago:
The defense held up fine last season with essentially the same team. The problem was more about depth, you can’t just play 5-6 guys in the playoffs and expect the team to hold up.
