Were you the kid in school who made sure to remind the teacher that there was homework to turn in?
Oh good fuck, nothing is more infuriating, with real work in your 30's! We have "smart goals" to do every year, and there are actual fuckers that remind the boss of this horseshit! :arrow:
My favorite is the meeting to discuss an upcoming meeting, and about two people in the room even care about that meeting. Very efficient.
This phenomena has actually became the norm for me recently. I'd made jokes about it for years, but with new management, it's a reality.
The Celtics trade Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and Brooklyn's 2018 first round pick to the Cavs for Kyrie Irving.
Keeping in mind the Cavs HAD to trade Kyrie with the way things had gone down, I honestly think the Cavs robbed the Celtics in this trade. I can't believe the Celtics, who have been hoarding these Nets' draft picks and turning down deals for stars for years, cashed in on Kyrie. Seems crazy to me.
The end result I see: Cavs very slightly worse this year but better positioned for a rebuild in the future, Celtics very slightly better this year but less assets to cash in for great players in the future. I think it's a savvy move for the Cavs, I don't really get it from the Celtics' perspective. That Nets pick could easily be #1 overall...
If you're the Cavs, do you try to flip that Brooklyn pick for another piece who can help you compete this year? Or hold onto it in case LeBron leaves and everything goes to shit next summer? Kind of a tough spot, no?
Some dude on Twitter said to him "Man, I respect the hell outta you, but give me one legitimate reason for leaving OKC other than getting a championship".
Durant responded in the 3rd person with "He didn't like the organization or playing for Billy Donovan. His roster wasn't that good, it was just him and Russ. Imagine taking Russ off that team, see how bad they were. KD can't win a championship with those cats".
Everyone now suspects that KD has a secret twitter account posing in disguise and defending himself on twitter to negative comments. I believe it. lol.
Kristine Leahy first came up with that theory. That's a sharp blonde!
