I hate the way the NBA handles trades and the draft. Just announce them. Teams making picks for other teams is unnecessary. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 18, 18:44 1
- It' crazy that they're still doing this. -- nm - David Nov 18, 18:51

I want to discuss the Knife. I'm still scared of it. I want to make Hasselback potatoes. I also have a strict rule, no alcohol before using the Knife. - loosilu Nov 18, 18:21 6
- theory is you are less likely to cut yourself with a sharp knife as you don't need as much pressure... -- nm - ⌚👻🦃🏈 Nov 18, 18:46
- Do not taunt happy fun knife. -- nm - Qale Nov 18, 18:24
- I'm making Hasselback potatoes right now, actually. - ReluctantCornucopia Nov 18, 18:23 3
  - I mean Matt Hasselbeck was a good QB but I’m not sure he was potatoes named after him good. - spamlet Nov 18, 18:28 2
    - *laughing at your IM* - ReluctantCornucopia Nov 18, 18:37
    - ~ Don't you worry, it's gonna be alright, 'cause we're having Hasselhoff potatoes for dinner tonight ~ -- nm - Max Nov 18, 18:33

I like Obi Toppin as a player but I always worry about kids going to play in their home city. Hopefully that's not an issue for him. - Krusty Nov 18, 18:02 7
- I would have taken him at 6 if our guy hadn’t been there. He’s dynamic. -- nm - David Nov 18, 18:06 6
  - He's exciting and I enjoyed seeing him play. But the Knicks just love forwards and he's 22 so on the old side for a draft pick. - Krusty Nov 18, 18:09 5
    - Dayton was 29-2. It's like when Kawhi Leonard elevated San Diego State. -- nm - David Nov 18, 18:33
    - That’s hysterical to me that 22 is a bad thing. Duncan, Jordan, Olajuwon, David Robinson, Shaq...all were Juniors or older. - Will Hunting Nov 18, 18:21 1
      - In the last 20 years guys drafted at 22 or later haven't done all that great. I'm not saying it will be an issue for him but it is - Krusty Nov 18, 18:25
    - I hope he becomes your new favorite Jedi -- nm - crash davis Nov 18, 18:18 1
      - I really root for Brooklyn but I want the Knicks to do well and I'm always happy when a NY team is winning. -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 18:25
Among Us for about an hour? RC is in a bad mood evidently -- nm - crash davis Nov 18, 18:01 6
- Can't play tonight. :-( -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 18:12 5
  - Don't worry -- I'll be in a bad mood tomorrow night and Friday night, too. And most of the next few days. - ReluctantCornucopia Nov 18, 18:20 4
    - Well I will be happy to play tomorrow or Friday but I really hope you find something that makes you feel better and gets you into a better mood -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 18:27
    - That's good. - Green Bean Cuzzinrole Nov 18, 18:25 1

- why not. nothing else new is coming out soon -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 18, 17:43
Texas is in 2nd place for overall deaths. No one really thinks it would overtake New York. But if we’re taking on one-to-two hundred a day... -- nm - Qale Nov 18, 17:31 2
- I hope it doesn't happen because Texas would need a lot more deaths per day than what they have right now. - Krusty Nov 18, 17:48 1
  - Check back again in about 70 days I guess. :( -- nm - Qale Nov 18, 18:25

What I'm curious about now is if Rudy gets his 20K a day. I sort of hope he does. - crash davis Nov 18, 17:25 4
- he's not smart enough to ask for it up front, and we know how good Donny is at paying bills. -- nm - mafic Nov 18, 17:39
- I, too, would like 20K a day. - ty97 Nov 18, 17:27 2
  - I could buy a sailboat a week at that rate -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 18:11
