  - I didn't, but that all lines up with my thinking. Also, he knows what happens to Nate, he just doesn't want to get hounded about it. :) -- nm - Inigo Oct 11, 09:46 1
    - That was my wife's read on the whole thing :) -- nm - oblique Oct 11, 09:48
Supposedly, Ben Simmons and 76ers in talks for him to return to the team. - Diva Oct 11, 09:12 7
- Agree that the fans aren’t going to love him being back—he is an all-NBA 1st team defensive player, so he does bring value - flavorize Oct 11, 09:28 2
  - He makes too much for a guy who is flat out useless on one end of the floor. - Daryl Morey Oct 11, 09:35
  - "aren’t going to love " is an understatement - decline Oct 11, 09:29

Will, but it's the same idea as the Canseco noggin home run - Reagen Oct 11, 08:44 1
- It’s different. Canseco was a rule that it never hit the ground. This rule says any ball that hits the field and then hits a player then out of play - Will Hunting Oct 11, 09:14
DTL: I'm not seeing a ton of height in this class. That's bad when you need to replace 3 guys taller than 6'8" -- nm - spamlet Oct 11, 08:42 3
- And this season (and Tripwire) starts with a disappointment. -- nm - spamlet Oct 11, 09:25 1

- Collectable NFTs (POAPs) are intriguing, but they're also a pain - at least the few I've encountered thus far. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 11, 08:39
- Not at this point. There is real utility in NFTs but not in how they are being used currently. For example: Topps NFTs vs. digital apes - oblique Oct 11, 08:34

      - They may have already required those docs to get/renew your license. -- nm - spamlet Oct 11, 08:39 2
        
        Yup, it’s just a matter of what documentation they have on file from when you originally got your license. -- nm - znufrii Oct 11, 08:41 1
        
        Ah. They were analog when ty97 got his license. - Spawn Oct 11, 08:43
    - Same here. J has to go in at some point though because her documents on file are still under her maiden name. -- nm* - znufrii Oct 11, 08:34
  - Real ID. I did not get that. I have a passport -- nm - oblique Oct 11, 08:19 5
    - And you can just use your passport for domestic flights IINM. So you don't *need* a Real Id if you have a passport I guess. -- nm - ty97 Oct 11, 08:20 4
      - Yes. We've done it that way multiple times. -- nm - oblique Oct 11, 08:21 3
