It's a really fun game with a couple twists along the way.

It's funny because I thought Portland was getting away with a lot on defense, and thought "nahhh it must just be me" then I checked the box score.

I don't know how I became "the draft guy", but oh boy does it involve a deep dive into varying terms and weird quirks of NBA contracts.

What the Blazers CAN offer to the Bucks:

- Cancel the 2028 and 2030 first round pick swaps.
- The Bucks' 2029 first, but only if it's the highest of Bucks/Blazers/Celtics.

The Bucks would mostly control their own picks again.

But that's a very high price. It undoes the Lillard deal.

I know it's technically orange for OKC, but it looks close enough to red on the wide angle to be easily confused.

Nothing new there, sorry. At least this is a sign the team seems to be attempting to expand their over-the-air HD footprint.

The HEVC licensing fee is going up from $0.20 to $0.24, so HP and Dell apparently released an update (UEFI?) that retroactively removes HEVC acceleration from your already-purchased PC. Like, removed at the hardware level, so it won't work with any OS or software.

Did you see the insane HP/Dell HEVC story today?

Oh man, I could spend like a week discussing this in DM. Your eyes would glaze over and you'd beg me to stop.

I can only assume you're a man of culture, which means you follow RSS feeds. :)
