There were times when Jaxson was playing poorly and JV was totally gassed where I couldn’t understand why Willie Green didn’t put him in. He’s not a world-beater, but I thought there were specific spots where him not eating up a minute or two didn’t makes sense to me.

Staying on the court, staying with the team, staying out of trouble. That's what I want.

Is that on the beta or just stock Ventura?

Yeah, I think all the moves were expected and solid. I know some people have said letting Hayes walk is a big mistake. He’s got a high upside, but it just didn’t seem to be coming together for him in New Orleans.

I think I agree with all of these takes. I doubt the Pels will bring G.T. back as a player, though. He’s said he thinks he has some ball left in him and maybe he can find a team that would offer him a couple minutes in the rotation per game? I don’t hold out a lot of hope for that either, so I guess there’s a chance he and the Pels agree to a vet minimum deal, but if they want to try to get under the cap, paying $2.8 million for a guy who never sees the floor seems hard to justify.

The moves so far have been:

  • letting Jaxson walk
  • waiving G.T.
  • extending Herb
  • signing E.J. Liddell
  • signing Cody Zeller
  • drafting Jordan Hawkins

Oh, and I guess they extended David Griffin's contract as well.

Let me know if I missed anything, and let me know what y'all think of the moves.

Edit: forgot to add letting Willy walk Edit 2: also failed to mention letting Josh Richardson go

Yeah there was a lot of really pointless arguing in the comments. It got a bit obnoxious.

I’m so used to lurking in the Reddit community that it’ll take some getting used to to start actually posting. I’ll try to step up though.

Because I’m in the Mac ecosystem, I use NetNewsWire on my devices and sync with iCloud. Before that, I used Feedly to sync. Feedly also has a web interface. I’m not sure what the best RSS apps are for Windows and Android are, though.

Here’s an article Wired did on feed readers last year. Many of them are subscription services, but some are freemium. (NetNewsWire is totally free).

One of the best changes I've made to my content consumption habits in the last couple of years has been not relying on following news-ish social media accounts for my news or going to certain websites in hopes that there have been updates, but really diving back into RSS hard. it's such a better way to get most news content.

Season 3 is your reward for having to sit through Shades of Gray.

Leather is an interesting case, though, because regardless of whether or not people buy it, the cows will still be killed for meat (unless there’s a drastic change in food consumption habits).

You could make the argument that, at least in the current landscape, the purchase of leather doesn’t increase animal suffering or suffering due to the many deleterious effects of large scale beef production (deforestation for feed, the carbon output, etc.).

The only way to reduce the suffering created by a cow economy is to hit the main product driving it: beef. There are three times more beef cows than dairy cows in the U.S., so dairy consumption has an effect but it’s dwarfed by beef consumption.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

They’re both gorgeous, although the Siamese looks like it’s got evil intent!
