has both Carlyle (wow) and MgBako as late first rounders. CBS.
I figured Rice would figure in higher than Carlyle.

Might as well get this set up now. Let's keep all the debate related discussion in one thread.

How about we get off to a good start: Martha is a babe.

Shooter, you crack me up. You post this overly dramatic gem in the Only Good Things thread.

This thread is now my sole reason for coming to this forum. The forum is deleted from my bookmarks.... it's become far too toxic, with insults, threats of violence, just outright nastiness. I bookmarked this thread and will try to ignore the rest of the forum. No guarantee of success though.

Here's a smattering of your comments just this week that would make you a "fellow toxin" which you want to avoid.

Would it be even better without so many morons like you? Certainly.

It gets worse, since Trumpers are having kids at record rates. Why? Because they use condoms by placing them on a broomstick, as they were taught in health class. They don't really work like that.

Too much high fructose corn syrup could be bad for brain cells. For McMurt, who is already struggling in the brain cell category, he might want to taper off. Plus the carbonation might contribute to his notorious flatulence that drives off the chicks even more than the gravy seal gut.

I don't sympathize with either extreme, as an independent. But I think you'd have to admit that the Trumpers, with Cheeto dust stuck in their fat rolls, provide a sight and an odor to particularly avoid.

Trump is a coward. Full stop.

So the Supreme Court has struck down a Portage, IN bribery conviction of the mayor. The defendant's team had argued he received a gratuity, not a bribe. That seems an incredibly fine hair to split. How on earth could anyone know the difference between a gratuity and a bribe? Is anything paid after the fact now legal?

I get it but that’s a bummer. States, counties, and munis all over the country were counting on it and it took moving mountains to get the settlement in the first place

It would seem with their deep roster that they may trade away a couple for future picks. Two of last years picks didn't see much action (Walker & Tshiebwe), in fact they hardly saw the court. Sheppard showed some promise though.

Right now they have the 6th, 19th, and 20th picks of round 2. They had no 1st rounder last night, as it went in the Siakam trade (well worthwhile).

I am thinking they go big, with resigning Obi Toppin being uncertain, they need a PF or a PF/C to eventually give backup minutes.

Interestingly, Filipowski has slid and is still on the board. 6'11" and offensively skilled but not a rim protector and probably a PF-only. I wouldn't mind him, defender Adem Bona, or undersized leaper Jonathan Mogbo. The Pacers don't need PGs at all or I'd take a flyer on Shead, but a few wings available are Furphy and McCullar from Kansas, Christie from Minnesota, Reeves from Kensucky, and my personal favorite Nikola Djurisić from Serbia, 6'7" sweet shooter with hops and only 20. Long term potential.

Thoughts on where they should go?

A out-of-control spender: Trump approved $8.4 trillion of new 10-year borrowing during his term — nearly twice as much as President Joe Biden has so far in office,

Heavily relies on bad "research"

Not only does Trump want to extend his 2017 tax cuts — a move that the Congressional Budget Office warns would cost nearly $5 trillion — but the former president recently told CEOs during a closed-door meeting that he’d like to cut the corporate tax rate even further.

He's for raising tariffs on China and all other trading partners — a move that Moody’s Analytics predicted would kill jobs and worsen inflation.

Moody’s Analytics cautioned that if Republicans sweep into power in November, a toxic mix of higher tariffs, fewer immigrants and tax cut-fueled stimulus would cause inflation to reaccelerate, unemployment to climb above 5% and the US economy to stumble into a recession.

By contrast, Moody’s found that if Biden wins and there is a divided Congress, the Fed will start cutting interest rates, inflation will go back to normal and the US economy will avoid a recession.

I don't watch the news much, so maybe this has all been covered before.

Here are two collections of clips of Trump speaking in the past. One from 1980, one later in 1988. In both, you have to wade through the goofball partisan presenters and hits on Biden.

A few observations:

1. There have to be dozens of these types of videos. Trump was interviewed by big names for for 40 years before running for President.

2. It's funny how many of these interviewers seemed to think he should run for President in the 80s.

3. He has been consistent in his reading of foreign policy and trade. Don't think that necessarily makes him right, but those policies authentically are what he thinks will work.

4. Didn't know MAGA Australians were a thing.

"In the fall of 2017, Barack Obama attended a fundraiser in Wilmington, Delaware for the Beau Biden Foundation where Hunter was seen hand-in-hand with his brother’s widow — whom he allegedly cheated on Buhle with. Michelle did not attend alongside her husband and the former president privately described the Biden family dynamics at the fundraiser as “weird shit,” according to a person aware of his comments."

I agree, Barack - that is some weird shit.

The guys at Sleepers were talking about Hoosier Hysterics today, so I had to listen to it. I recommend you do the same.

I predict that DJT is going to run away with this one. If for no other reason than I believe the rules are going to result in, at least, the PERCEPTION of a lot stronger performance.

Reasoning: As I understand it, the rules include that there is no audience and that mics can be muted so we don't have the train wreck of interruptions and over-talking that have been the hallmark of other DJT "debates." Personally, I'd love to hear an actual debate where the candidates are able to punch-counterpunch like an actual debate, but those times are long gone.

Conventional wisdom would say that this will benefit Biden because he won't have to fight the interruptions and can get out his canned responses.

I think the conventional wisdom is flat wrong. To be sure, we the viewers won't be hearing Trump's interruptions and interjections. But I have absolutely ZERO confidence that he won't be making them. Therefore, I expect him to be a monster distraction to Biden and expect him to trip Biden up significantly, but on TV, it'll look like Biden is just doddering because we won't be able to hear what Trump is saying. The dream scenario for Team Trump might be that during a Biden answer that Biden pops off asking him to shut up or something. It'll have "old man yells at clouds" vibes because we won't be able to hear what came before.

Anyway, just some thoughts.

Tino is the guy to watch in this recruitment. I don’t expect to land him but we have respected coaches in the ranks.

This could break the Internet. Will be one of the most watched interviews of all time. Kudos to Tucker for doing real journalism.

So..., we have 50 people roaming around with ties to one of the most radical and dangerous terrorist groups on the planet...

Only the Biden could take dereliction of duty to this extreme.

OG already had a ton of money to put in the bank. Now, with his new deal with the Knicks he will buy the bank. If OG, Bryant and Howard stayed healthy, Crean might still be coaching IU !
