Might occasionally post on fantasy basketball and football.
How do we evaluate Eze as a pick? Could be on set pieces, and likely to play a lot, esp if Madueke is out? I can get to Eze from Kudus by downgrading a defender, but unsure. Kudus feels safer.

Worked out pretty well I'd say!

Did he at least play well? I didn't watch the game.

Also transferred out Palmer for Gordon yesterday to avoid a price drop. Leeds fixture looked nice. It's been a lovely weekend...

Yes 15 with 5 to play...

Very similar to mine! I like it. I would also be open to taking Fullkrug instead of Thiago, depending on what happens to Wissa.

Look forward to reading it!

What about Füllkrug as a cheaper alternative?

Still on the fence about BB1 in week 1. Might pick Virgil over Gvardiol. Not sure about Solanke given fitness concerns, but I don't see a viable 7,5 alternative (I don't like Wood). Might switch out Malen for Kudus if I take Guiu over Thiago and upgrade to Bowen instead of Solanke. Tinker tinker

You really ought to read Steven Erikson's Malazan series if you think this is what modern fantasy literature is 😉

Roster Filipowski again?

www.nytimes.com/athletic/612... suggests that Lakers should go after Will Magnay to strengthen their C rotation - is he any good, and how likely is it they actually sign him?

After failed Mark Williams trade, what’s next for the Lakers’ big-man plans?
A failed physical torpedoed the Williams trade, which could be a blessing long-term. But it puts LA in a bind for this year's playoffs.

There's a couple of journals (unf not in law) who nowadays publish grant applic (eg journal of trial & error; explorations in econ hist; journal of digital legal hist). I don't see why this practice is not more widespread. Describing the state of the art and making hypotheses is valuable scholarship

Same! I've been thinking about this for years. Not a lot of literature out there

I once asked E-U Petersmann when I ran into him at a conference whether he knew of any GATT cases that relied on pre-1945 doctrinal developments. He said there was one - I have it somewhere but haven't been able to properly investigate :)

To return to Geraldo's initial question, for example, I'm pretty sure Herdegen's handbook Principles of IEL starts with a discussion of the Nicaragua case. It has a few lines around freedom of commerce.

Very insightful discussion. I have done a bit of work on this in my dissertation. It is very hard to delineate "int econ law" or "int trade law" pre-1945. There actually was a fair amount of doctrine around MFN trade agreements around 1900. But it's difficult to separate from PIL doctrine

I am pretty sure the Nicaragua case says a few things about freedom of commerce. I am not sure how well developed this doctrine or idea is, though. Interesting question.
