Given the ownership doesn’t like to spend a ton I think Booth was kind of forced to go young given that restriction.

maybe but if that is the case they should have negotiated harder with MPJ and Murray. Then they would have had more money to work with for KCP or whoever else. Also Saric for $5m is a bit much.

or they're trying to force Malone to use the young guys.

also I assume they are sticking with the pseudo school theme and bringing in freshmen every year.

The BLS noted that the Boeing strike likely subtracted 44,000 jobs in the manufacturing sector

so I guess not just Boeing directly, but all jobs related to manufacturing of parts etc.

I was with you up until the shift away from multiplayer part. I do not see that happening at all, and I don't even like multiplayer games myself. There's no denying that more multiplayer has been the trend for the last 30 years, spanning multiple (people) generations, and I don't see AI changing that.

This is just a shitty article, acting all surprised that this wasn't a top tier draft class which we already knew. We knew most of the top picks were not scorers, and most of those that were (Sheppard and Dillingham) went to stacked teams like the rockets and wolves, so of course they aren't getting a ton of minutes.

If you look at defensive performance and offensive execution in general (you know, actually watch games rather than count points and minutes), the wizards rookies are killing it.

Coaches across the NBA just aren’t trusting the rooks to do much of anything.

The tanktastic Wizards have been the boldest team in the rookie department. Coach Brian Keefe started the team’s two heralded lottery picks Sarr and Bub Carrington in the season opener against Boston. But even Keefe couldn’t stomach that situation for long. After two blowout losses, Jonas Valančiūnas replaced Carrington in the starting lineup to give Sarr some muscle up front. After three games, Carrington has scored three, 10 and 13 points.

This is completely inaccurate, clearly this person does not actually watch the wizards. The rookies (with bilal and poole) are holding the team together. Yes there were two blowout losses against the world champions and the (undefeated) Cavs, but both games were actually competitive in the first half which is about as much as you can expect from a rebuilding team.

The 3rd game where they started JV and Sarr together started out terribly, and THAT is what Keefe quickly abandoned. As soon as they put Sarr back at center they came back and won that game. And then won the very next game as well, starting ALL THREE rookies.

The movie company partnered with Joya Studio to bring multi-sensory screenings exclusively to Alamo Drafthouse theaters nationwide. The immersive moviegoing experience will take place at advance screenings on Oct. 30, ahead of the film’s Nov. 8 release date in the U.S.

...

The aroma will be activated at Alamo theaters via Joya Studio’s atomization technology, which employs cold-air diffusion to disperse scented molecules as fine, dry air without the use of heat, water or alcohol.

The U.S., France and other allies jointly called Wednesday for an “immediate” 21-day cease-fire to allow for negotiations in the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah that has killed more than 600 people in Lebanon in recent days.

The joint statement, negotiated on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, says the recent fighting is “intolerable and presents an unacceptable risk of a broader regional escalation.”

“We call for an immediate 21-day cease-fire across the Lebanon-Israel border to provide space for diplomacy,” the statement said. “We call on all parties, including the governments of Israel and Lebanon, to endorse the temporary cease-fire immediately.”

Maybe the mod(s) got banned by admins? Doesn't seem to be too active thankfully, but it's probably only a matter of time before moderation will be needed there.

ICE is dead, and none of the developments make it to road cars anyway. Meanwhile, battery/EV tech needs all the development it can get and F1's have been frozen for years.

Make F1 road relevant again, not just aerospace on bubble gum tires. Let teams compete on the tech that actually matters to the motoring world.
