Marco Rubio is correct. Iran responsible for most of the Middle East problems

Zion needs to be more selfishby
quote:Zion? In what world would you not want to do this?
Would you really trade him for a very late 1st or two? If
I'd get rid of him for nothing if we could, I would have done that when we actually could have and he had zero value.
He's a negative value asset, we are better long term if he's gone whether we get anything in return or not.

quote:Zion clearly has no future here and every day he's on the team is an extra day we can't put the right dudes around Queen to find out what we have in him.
and to be honest he doesn’t need to until Queen becomes more reliable
quote:If true, then they should have cut him when it was possible with the non guaranteed contract.
Well if you believe reports they were shopping him at the deadline and could not get a bag of chips. Griff. could not get anything either.

quote:I don't assign points to a player for having a teammate who is really good, which is essentially what you're doing here... unless you want to try to argue that the Pels would be soooo much better with Dyson over Herb, which no one believes.
Good thing Pels won’t have to worry about that any time soon while DD will likely be starting in the playoffs later this year…
Hell, Dejounte is back and there is also zero argument as to which player is better between Dejounte and Dyson. None.
If the Pels had a healthy Jalen Johnson and the Hawks didn't, I wouldn't magically think all our players are better and Dyson is worse because of team differences.

quote:Exactly like I said, I'm not paying more for a negative value asset.
After next year Herb will be in making close to the same as Dyson.
2027-28: ~$20.8 million.
2028-29: ~$22.5 million.
2029-30: ~$24.2 million (Player Option).
quote:Year 4 and he's not a dude who can be on the floor in the 4th quarter of playoff games. Not remotely close.
So you rather not pay a few million extra for a player that’s just starting to scratch his potential and has already surpassed Herb as a player?
You can certainly argue that we never sniff 4th quarters of playoff games, but it doesn't change the points I made, and getting guys like this that are negative value assets would be one of the many reasons we don't sniff 4th quarters of playoff games.
quote:Not sure how paying for Looney to never play proves your point here.
We paid more for Looney this year than the difference of those three years combined between Herb and DD.
Dyson is a negative value asset. Dyson has shown zero improvement in 4 years in being able to put the ball in the basket and would get played right off the court in any meaningful game we played.

re: Iran War Cost Tracker Since Strikes Began (Live Estimates now $11,416,352,008 and rising)

quote:6 months ago, US intelligence reports said Iran was years away from getting a nuke AND not actively pursuing getting another.
The only fools are the ones who refuse to admit that Iran is working on a nuke
That was before we bombed them in June.
How exactly are they now close to getting a nuke?
Or...did you fall for folks telling you Iran is close to getting a nuke, which we have videos of that being said since the mid 90s....
Sounds like you got duped and fell for it.

Ehhhh I'm still a bit hesitant. Nobody with knowledge of the investigation is talking
Of course they know. The silence IS the answer.

quote:So you meant 2 promising players with potential and not 2 "very good players"
2 of them are rookies. Pretty bad out of context take there Shelly boy. Go back into your hidey hole.
My bad for interpreting that exactly as how you wrote. :cheers:
quote:Out of 66 games, are 3 best players have played 59/57/49, which is really solid health, and your top 3 players drive winning more than the bottom 9-12 combined...
Y'all are insane.
Borrego has coached the majority of this season and this is the healthiest Zion has been... still suck.
21-45

quote:If we get to be fully healthy all season while every other team gets to go through all the normal injuries, and the most likely outcome is play in, that shows you how bad your team is and what a void of talent you have.
Assuming full health and Borrego from the jump, I have no problem believing this team could have won 45 games +/- and be in the play-in or eke out the 6th seed.
What you're saying is given us normal/average injuries, and we're likely not a playoff team.

quote:It's prime tank season.
The have won 11 games in their last 20 games. They won 10 games in their first 46 games.
If we had our 1st round pick, we would have won about 5 of those past 20 game, we'd be tanking too.
quote:Teams are tanking, that's the biggest culprit for what we're seeing now.
I think firing Willie Green very early or before the season and then having Herb and Deonte healthy would have made this a totally different season.

quote:3 very good players who have played the entire season don't have a team record of 21-45.
I think Trey Murphy, Dejounte Murray, Bey, DQ, and Fears are very very good players. I do not give a singular frick if you disagree.
quote:meaning, Israel made Trump do it.
Because circumstances changed
There's no logical argument that circumstances changed to the point of necessitating war, but I'd love to see you try to make that failed argument.
quote:I have no problem, I'm correct here.
That's not a "me" problem, nor is it a "Trump" problem, it's a "you" problem
You seem to think just stringing some words together make things you say true. Pretty fatal flaw for you.

Correct
Every single person saying we've been at war for 47 years, not a one of them were posting this was war months ago when we dropped the bunker bomb.
That side was adamant it was not a war and mocked anyone who suggested it was.
Why do people forget that happened?

quote:Saying "you're wrong" doesn't prove someone is wrong. Bless you your heart for thinking it did.
I did, it doesn't seem you're smart enough to grasp it.
quote:Except nothing changed. Oh wait, something did change... We "obliterated" their ability to get a nuke months ago. So yea, we had to go to war so they don't get nukes. Makes sense!
You can run on not getting into military engagements, not getting into regime change, etc. all you want, but when the reality becomes that an adversary is attacking you through intermediaries you either change your stance or you continue to be attacked.
But we're not at war... But the war started in 1979!
quote:So again, why did Trump run on no regime change wars? You're proving my point without even realizing it.
Iran is a violent adversary, funding groups like Hamas, Hezbollah the Houthis, etc. These groups have in turn attacked US interests, US allies, funded groups which will do so or some combination of any/all of the three.
If everything you said is true, why didn't Trump run and campaign on this?
quote:You failed miserably at your mission.
You're welcome
quote:Exactly what I was thinking.
wouldn’t make a difference. We’d still suck and wed get little in return for their value. Only difference is we’d go for the rebuild much quicker than trying to pretend the Zion era will work. So if anything getting scoot would have been better
Scoot wouldn't have been any better than he is now, but it would have ultimately been better for the Pels.
quote:When we bombed than a few months ago and folks said we were at war, the same side was very adamant that it wasn't a war.
This thread is retarded. The war started 8 days ago.
Now that side is saying it's been a war for 47 years :lol:
