- Comment on Danny Green has agreed to a 1 year deal with the 76ers 1 year ago:
Yeah I don’t think they’re expecting that he be moving the before as far as minutes played and making an impact on games. I’m sure he’ll see some minutes here and there, but I wouldn’t expect him to be an integral part of the rotation.
I do think the main thought behind this may be more on the bench and locker room front. Danny won a championship under Nick Nurse, and he’s also close with many of the Sixers players.

Sixers could use another center, we could trade Harden for KAT straight up, right?
- Comment on [Pompey] It’s official. The NBA has fined James Harden $100,000 for public comments. 1 year ago:
Yeah this is also one of the bigger fines I’ve seen coming from the league to a player. Biggest I’ve seen is Stoudamire getting fined $250k after he got arrested for the third time for marijuana possession.

He’s basically on Kyrie’s level now. Still a good player as he showed last season, but his trust level is through the floor. Can’t be trusted to perform under pressure, can’t be trusted to play on a contract he just opted into, makes trade demands not requests. And for they kind of money he’s expecting? Who wants that?

- Comment on Small children are well known to be afraid of voids (closets, under the bed) in their sleeping area. Knowing this, why don't we design children's rooms to eliminate them? 1 year ago:
I think fear is an important part of our development, and sanitizing children’s upbringings is rarely the best approach. I love when my child communicates that they’re afraid of something because that gives me an opportunity to guide them through how to encounter and process that fear, and how to continue functioning in life when fear is present (which is always for a lot of people).
Also, for kids who are scared of their closet or under their bed at night, if you remove those triggers I would be surprised if other triggers did not arise. It could easily turn into a never ending game of whack a mole.

The league already investigated the Sixers for this and didn’t find anything. If there was actually any sort of handshake deal, Harden was stomping on that as soon as Christmas Day 2022, not even halfway through the regular season when his camp started leaking that he was wanting to go back to Houston.
If there was a handshake deal, my guess is that it was contingent on playoff success, and Harden started getting cold feet after the really rough start to the season, so he started those leaks to try and leverage a deal early either with the Sixers or the Rockets. Word on the street is Udoka shut that down on Houston’s end, and then no other team wanted him (or didn’t make an offer that he was interested in) so he was essentially forced to opt in to the second year with Philly.
The way I see it, Harden is trying to save face as well as garner the support of other players by trying to put the blame 100% on Morey.
- Comment on [Discussion] What is your favorite original movie of 2022? 1 year ago:
Between Everything Everywhere, Banshees (probably my fave), Bodies3x, and Northman (and others I haven’t seen), 2022 was a truly fantastic year for original movies.
And while it was a franchise movie, Prey was also one of my favorites of the year.
