First and foremost, the OG Pirates of the Caribbean reference was noted and appreciated. Secondly, a small correction: Jrue requested a trade out of New Orleans after the AD fiasco. He just did it in an incredibly understated and respectful manner (because he's a wonderful person). It didn't get much national press, but it was reported throughout local media and is widely acknowledged within the fanbase, but no one begrudges him for it because of how he went about it.

I've tried them all and feel most engaged and at peace (at the moment) at Bluesky. The NBA discourse is really in its infancy, but easy to see how it could come along.

But, as someone said yesterday in the NBA feed, NBA Bluesky will not really blossom until guys like Woj and Shams come over and everyone follows them to keep up on the news. Until then, it will be a handful of us debating how good various NBA dudes are ahead of the season.

It is often presented as kind of a joke that Ish Smith has been on 13 teams in as many years, but this nicely put into perspective what that uncertainty means. Moving sucks, but for most of us we at least have a say in where we end up.

Is the subscriber discord still a thing? (If so could someone share the link?)

It is! I’ll share it again Friday (sorry, don’t have it handy).
