that level of stupidity wouldn't be unlike the Bulls That would be quite stupid by the Bulls. I've completely ignored these reports of him going to BradyTown because it's not likely. Who in their right mind trades Butler within conference?? the one I definitely can't buy is the PG13 rumors. That's asinine. |

that level of stupidity wouldn't be unlike the Bulls While I agree it'll be stupid, and I'm not saying the Bulls should trade him. I just think with the way the ship is sailing in Chicago. All those picks from Boston will tempt you to want to jump and abandon ship. At the end of the day, you're hoping to strike on a Butler level player with one of those picks. You already have that guy why trade him |

From an article I read this morning [emphasis: mine]:
Over the last decade, internet message boards have slowly been dying out and it’s not hard to guess why (when in doubt: blame Facebook and Twitter). Even forums which still have millions of active users are in trouble, as the controversial imageboard 4Chan announced in October that it was under financial strain. Social media giants have invaded forums’ space, at once allowing people a place to share all of their opinions at once, and providing advertisers with mind-bogglingly intricate models by which to make money.
Yet it is precisely what makes message boards so unviable financially that makes them such a great user experience (regardless of the trolls). Both anonymity and the way forums are structured (from oldest to newest posts) create an egalitarian space. Although the hugely successful social network Reddit is arguably a message board, its system of “Upvotes” and “Downvotes” mean certain comments are given precedence. Yes, it could be frustrating when forums became a mess of cyclical arguments and irrelevant ramblings due to their structure, but there was always the sense that everyone had their chance to be seen and heard.
When I ask people who used message boards in the past what they liked about them, one theme recurs: friendship.
“I don't talk to anyone from the board anymore but am Facebook friends with them,” says Pippa Lowthorpe, a 22-year-old who used to frequent Jrock Revolution, a forum about Japanese music. “I was a massive nerd and it was really nice to have this niche interest turn into so many friends.”
Sometimes, these friendships could be life-changing. James, a 26-year-old who used Pokémon role-playing forums between the ages of 11 and 15 says online friendships kept him going “through a particularly rough time”.
“I was getting bullied at school,” he says. “Message boards helped me during a pretty grim moment – it's hard to overstate how much knowing there would be people to talk to helped after spending all day in a place I wasn't liked.”
These friendships were so much stronger because they formed over niche – often very, very niche – interests. Rich Cooper, a 26-year-old who used to run a message board about former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante, also still has friends from his forum days on Facebook. “I made some genuine friends there, people I'd talk to on MSN most days,” he says. “I don't talk to them anymore, but I still know what they're up to, which is weird but nice.”
There is another reason to love message boards, though it might be as niche as the FruscianteFans forum. The internet often feels so ephemeral, with things frequently getting lost in the ether. Message boards are a perfect archive – it’s much easier to see how things played out in real time than it is by looking through old tweets or Facebook statuses. It is also easy to find old views and opinions easily, so much so that I was shocked, last year, when I discovered my old posts on a pro-anorexia forum.link: www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/internet/2017/02/someone-would-always-answer-sad-death-internet-message-board

Nuggets trade Jusuf Nurkic to Trail Blazers for Mason Plumlee
Portland will also receive a protected 2017 first-round pick, and Denver will get a 2018 second-round pick.

What an awful trade for the Nuggets. Mason is playing well lately, but Nurkic's ceiling is a lot higher. And they gave a 1st rounder to Portland. Mason has pretty much peaked in terms of skillset, but he may compliment Jokic's game pretty well. He's an athletic big man who runs the floor |

What an awful trade for the Nuggets. LOL I had to come see your thoughts on this one! I guess in a hoops sense it's addition by subtraction but OMG why are you including a first in this loaded draft to give up a much better player? Lots of these gms are exposing their utter stupidity. Like Orlando ROFL at this guy and he's about to do the same thing with hezonja who without question will be an all star in his career. I mean, Phil Jackson. Smh Maybe Kenny Smith wouldn't be so bad after all ... |
