Dumping Thybulle for McDaniels instead of finding a reliable bench two-way wing for a playoff run during Embiids MVP season.
He’s going to try to make a deal at the draft - either bundle picks to try to trade George for a third star more on the timeline or another Melton style trade.

That’s where the Knicks are right now. Certainly good enough not to duck the tax.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

If you can’t explain to voters that funding a lawless paramilitary trampling on the Constitution doesn’t make them safer, find a new line of work.
Torching the global order built on the sacrifices of generations of Americans is neither patriotic or “conservative.” GOP senators who are standing by and letting it happen are rightfully called arsonists, nihilists and cowards.
Article title: Agenda Seeding: How 1960s Black Protests Moved Elites, Public Opinion and Voting Article Abstract How do stigmatized minorities advance agendas when confronted with hostile majorities? Elite theories of influence posit marginal groups exert little power. I propose the concept of agenda seeding to describe how activists use methods like disruption to capture the attention of media and overcome political asymmetries. Further, I hypothesize protest tactics influence how news organizations frame demands. Evaluating black-led protests between 1960 and 1972, I find nonviolent activism, particularly when met with state or vigilante repression, drove media coverage, framing, congressional speech, and public opinion on civil rights. Counties proximate to nonviolent protests saw presidential Democratic vote share increase 1.6–2.5%. Protester-initiated violence, by contrast, helped move news agendas, frames, elite discourse, and public concern toward “social control.” In 1968, using rainfall as an instrument, I find violent protests likely caused a 1.5–7.9% shift among whites toward Republicans and tipped the election. Elites may dominate political communication but hold no monopoly.
I’ve been studying civil rights protests for 20 years. With new mobilization against Trump’s agenda, I’m sharing a thread summarizing my research on how nonviolent & violent actions by 1960s activists and police influenced media, elites, public opinion & voters. 1/ www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
Birds following a very bad script again.
Sending love to the people of Minneapolis.
The research indicates that players don’t return to form from a meniscus repair until the second year. He could look a lot better in a few months.
What made America an exceptional superpower was not its failure to live up to its ideals but just how often it succeeded.
We should bring back Time Life music compilation infomercials. Or any infomercials featuring 70s Stevie Wonder music.
Eagles are apparently better with their starters. Bring on the Niners.
State Farm’s portrayal of Henry VIII is historically inaccurate. Would have slotted in as a linebacker.
Tonight’s version of the Sixers, should it ever find its way to a playoff court, will be a very tough out and a lot of fun to watch.
Crazy Ex Girlfriend co-creator Alina Brosh McKenna. The range of music he composed for that show was extraordinary.
A belated Go Birds to everyone! 🦅
There has been an extra spasm of darkness as we start the festival of light tonight. Yet we must still try to bring light to the darkness.
After weeks of the offense playing way too cautious, they lose tonight playing far too reckless. Good night Birds nation. 🦅

Law schools need to start offering courses in Calvinball, or perhaps a Calvinball clinic.
Sounds about right. Got a listening age of 30 though which is quite amusing.
Paul George is a good basketball player and the Sixers are better with him on the floor.
Maxey with 54 in the Iverson jerseys is a lot of fun.
