The other thing is that then not knowing obvious national current events is a sign of them not doing their job. Your job is to be informed, not ignorant of things going on.
Stephanopolous finally doing what every journalist should be doing when they tell these obvious lies. Look how it put this idiot back on his heels so all he could do was say the most idiotic crap.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you support the pardon of the former Honduran president?

Here's my opinion: Teams are likely to tank toward the end of year, and he Pelicans are going to get Murray back. This is probably a top 10 pick, but if you can trade it like it's a top 4 pick right now, they should probably do it.
Usual caveat of depending on the rest of the deal, of course.

"Personally, I think [the Pelicans/Bucks superpick] is just too valuable to cede in any trade given how young the Hawks’ core is and the growing likelihood of adding a transcendent talent."
Maybe the Hawks feel differently, but PTH has one asset they'd prefer not to give up in any Giannis trade:

Well Rand, if you have the video ...
Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released.
“And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

One of the funniest things would be OKC saying fuck you to everyone and sending Hartenstein, Wiggins/Joe, Wallace, and a truckload of picks to MIL to get Giannis. Might not be enough of a headliner without one of the Big 3, but they have a compelling offer to make.
Wrote about Giannis. It looks like the next couple months will depend on just how badly he wants to join the Knicks and just how cautious NY will be if so www.teamziller.com/giannis-ante...

I feel like an Anthony Davis for Trae/LaMelo/Morant makes sense on a variety of levels for all teams involved, but Davis' age might f that up

I don't think this is terrible or anything, but the Hawks are basically just trying to launch their aging window forward like 8 years. And they're still ... not good enough?
Alright Hawks fans: if Milwaukee wants Risacher, Johnson, the New Orleans pick, their own '27 pick, and Kennard for the salary match .... are you doing it to get Giannis?

I'll be honest. We do this for my kid all the time, though i get that's different from an adult. But still, seems fine if you pay for it.

Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.
