2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

Isnt there another year on that Conley contract?

Yeah, I think he has a player option.

@bksballer89 .

Yeah, no way will he turn this down.....

Conley has a player option for the 2020-21 season worth a whopping $34.5 million. Opting out would require him having to accept a significant pay cut in terms of annual salary; however, Conley will be 32 years old at that point and it's possible he may want to lock in one last long-term deal. Still, the smart money says he opts in and happily collects his $34+ million.

Ok who do we got in this horse competition tonight? I’ve seen it said Trae Young is in but he said no dunks allowed lol.

Finally some live sports. What time does it start?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Does this mean you made it through your last day and are in your final quarantine?

Yup!!

Just had lunch with my Family.

The Hotel I'm in has this huge outdoor patio that they use for parties, weddings etc...

And, they let guests reserve it for 4 hour blocks to spend time with their family, while continuing to social distance.

I could go home and just stay in the basement. But, after being away this long, it would be stupid to even risk it.

Okay here are my picks. Disclaimer- I'm one of the worst gamblers in the country. So most or all of my picks will be wrong.


-Billups over Trea (old school beats new school)

-Catchings over Conley (and the loss will define his career)

-Pierce over LaVine (no dunking hurts Zach, Pierce wins when he cheats & uses a wheelchair)

-CP3 over Quigley (for no other reason than I have no idea who the hell Quigley is)

Could be wrong, but I believe it's usually around 61,000 for the flu. We're at 31,869 for this according to the site I just looked at. So, depending on how quickly this goes away, we may not hit the flu deaths either.

But yeah, figured it'd be starting up over there. They'll argue over forever over anything.

They're at 50+ pages over Zooky getting bounced. lol

I think in US flu is 20-30k per year (maybe 40k). worldwide might be 80k

 

[dtgold88]

He can try.

Doesn't seem like the kinda kid to cause a row in the community.

But, if he openly says he wants out?

To avoid the shit show, they might do it.

Ffs Paul George was under lock and key.

He still got what he wanted.

Guess anything is possible, but if he is still on a rookie deal he is pretty much stuck there for at least 3-4 years and probably longer.

Yeah, I just looked on the CDC website. They didn't give an average that I saw, but it looks like, from 2010-11 to 2017-18 it ranges from a low of 12,000 in 2011-12 to a high of 61,000 in 2017-18. Most years looked to be between 20,000 and 40,000.

So, we'll most likely break 40,000 but I doubt we'll get to 60,000. In fact, we may not even hit the 2nd worst year in that time frame which was 51,000 in 2014-15.

This is the start of good news

Targetting end date of labor day

Man we could end up with the best sports summer ever lol

 

[trojanfan12]

If he hires Rich Paul, that's all we need to know where this is headed.

Spida to the Lakers!!

As mentioned maybe a week or 2 ago, agreed with someone who said he could see the death totals being around 65,000. Economy comes back, Trump claims a win and wins election.

makes me believe even if there never was a coronavirus if the media wanted to they could have made a huge deal over seasonal flu deaths and caused a pandemic.

and, yes, I get coronavirus not same as flu before someone thinks I don't.

They might, but only if it serves the Jazz.

Mitchell is 2 years away from restricted free agency. Big difference between asking out at this point and a year or 2 before UFA.

The only time I can recall that working is Porzingas. And he actually did have leverage because he threatened to go play overseas. Can’t see Spida doing that.

We're talking 65,000 in like six weeks though. Not an entire calendar year. Not to mention that isn't accounting for the actual flu

I am going to pick the exact opposite of that.

Quigley might be the best shooter in the field.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Excellent numbers today at Worldometer.

The trend the last few days has been exactly what we were hoping for

Shhhhhhhh........Positivity is frowned upon.

yeah...cannot recall a star leaving his current team after his rookie deal under the current CBA. I guess he could sign a 1 year deal (that would be matched) and go after that season. don't think anyone has though.

Lol I'm all for good numbers but Sundays have been low and it's Easter

Now if on Tuesday/Wednesday it's 1400 we are headed in the right direction
