TrippyFocus@lemmy.mlOPMto NBA@lemmy.world•Pacers confirm Haliburton won't play next seasonEnglish6·4 days agoHe’s said he doesn’t regret it and I definitely get that with it being G7 of the finals but damn does it suck to see this.
Even if he fully recovers (big IF) the team’s trajectory was definitely altered as seen by the Turner move since ownership wasn’t trying to pay the tax after the injury.
TrippyFocus@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Entwined Fates: Russia, China, and the Unravelling of Western Delusions4·4 days agoI don’t think it will in the short term since Russia needs allies and the West has made it clear they will never be allies with Russia. Russia doesn’t gain anything by splitting with China now or in the short term.
Much longer term it was always bound to happen. Russia only gets critical support around here because it’s going against the West in this specific conflict. It’s still a capitalist country with reactionary views on a lot of things.
That’s going to eventually put it at odds with China and other AES countries unless there’s a change in power in Russia.
TrippyFocus@lemmy.mlOPMto NBA@lemmy.world•The Sacramento Kings are trading Jonas Valanciunas to the Nuggets for SaricEnglish2·10 days agoSounds like Kings need to cut some salary for other moves but yeah this one was wild.
The Nuggets have an actual playable backup for Jokic for the first time ever and they didn’t have to give up any picks.
Thanks! Yeah it’s going to be tough to find a better stretch than Turner. Definitely seems a financial move from pacers owners unfortunately
Reported 4 year $113M deal
Yeah that’s my guess, with Hali having a torn Achilles they might just be talking an L next season
It’s wild that after all the years of trade rumors the one time it felt like Turner was going to for sure stay he gets traded lmao.
Really not sure why this went down, waiting for more details and I’m at the aquarium with my in-laws rn
TrippyFocus@lemmy.mlto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Elk joins the picket line in Estes Park, CO14·13 days agoIf you ever want to see an Elk close up I would definitely recommend visiting Estes Park during Rutt (spelling?) season.
Lived in Denver for a couple years and my wife and I would always drive up there to see them!
Glad to see the Elk showing solidarity!
TrippyFocus@lemmy.mlOPMto NBA@lemmy.world•The Dallas Mavericks Select Cooper Flagg with the #1 Pick of the 2025 NBA DraftEnglish4·16 days agoIt still doesn’t feel real!
I used to not put any stock in the draft is rigged stuff but having the #1 pick go to teams trading stars to LA twice now, Bulls getting Rose, etc. is all a little sus lol
TrippyFocus@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•In Zohran Mamdani’s Win, Socialism Beat the Status Quo861·16 days agoI get the hesitation since in US politics they often get conflated and I can’t say I’ve followed him very closely but someone else shared this. I know he’s also advocating for city owned grocery stores.
TrippyFocus@lemmy.mlMto NBA@lemmy.world•BREAKING: The Boston Celtics have traded Jrue Holiday to the... - ESPNEnglish4·17 days agolol can the bucks trade dame for holiday again?
Nowhere in this meme does it say that “both sides are the same”. It’s (correctly) showing how both parties don’t give a shit about the working class.
Republicans are horrible but you can’t expect the Democrats to save or help you from them after we have tons of evidence showing they will also break strikes, pass right wing immigration laws, attack protesters, support genocide, and do almost nothing to stop rising fascism.
Also trying to diminish supplying and funding a genocide to just “a single foreign policy issue” is pretty fucked up and not even accurate. Leftists were willing to overlook hundreds of issues we had with Kamala as a candidate if she could just do the bare fucking minimum of not actively funding and supplying a genocide and she couldn’t even do that.

TrippyFocus@lemmy.mlOPMto NBA@lemmy.world•Haliburton's no-look pass sets up ferocious Siakam posterEnglish4·21 days agoIt’s here we had one pinned post for the series.
Reported $10B valuation based on the purchase price.

TrippyFocus@lemmy.mlOPto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Inside Trump’s New Gaza Ceasefire Proposal4·1 month agoYeah I doubt this goes through especially after the reports that the US agreed to different terms already and then is changing it again.
As others have said no one source should have blanket trust.
Understanding the bias the source may have by looking up who owns/funds it and understanding how that might skew what you’re reading is important.
For news based on studies I usually will try to directly to the study which should list the methodology which will help show how well done it was.
If I have time later I’ll put together a list of ones I use and what I’ve seen as their biases.
