  • Yeah I don’t think they’re expecting that he be moving the needle as far as minutes played and making an impact on games. I’m sure he’ll see some minutes here and there, but I wouldn’t expect him to be an integral part of the rotation.

    I do think the main thought behind this may be more on the bench and locker room front. Danny won a championship under Nick Nurse, and he’s also close with many of the Sixers players.









  • That may be true for some people individually, but I believe if no one at a company is able to build any connection (even on a professional level of base rapport ), that’s much more an indicator of the company’s failures to build a proper company culture that supports that.

    People have been making close friends over the Internet with zero in-person interactions for decades now. And that’s even without video chat being the primary way of doing it. I work 100% remote at a company with ~2500 employees. I’m pretty introverted, but I’ve managed to make a few friends mostly over slack that I would ask if they wanted to grab a drink or something if I were traveling through their area. There’s no pressure or expectation of that from the company, there’s no “we’re family” nonsense, they’ve just created a company culture where that can happen.

    Plex is truly great! I forgot to mention it streams music in addition to movies and tv. The Plex web app is not particularly fantastic for streaming music, but they have a separate app called Plexamp that is really great. So all in all you can use this setup to eliminate all your streaming subscriptions.

    Pay for a seedbox and install Plex on it (something like whatbox.ca). You’ll have your own streaming service that you can add anything you want to, and it only costs as much as the seedbox. It will give you insularity so you don’t get ISP notices, you can access it from anywhere, it’s great.

    From there it’s just finding where you want to get your torrents from and getting used to adding them to the torrent client on your seedbox.




  • The league already investigated the Sixers for this and didn’t find anything. If there was actually any sort of handshake deal, Harden was stomping on that as soon as Christmas Day 2022, not even halfway through the regular season when his camp started leaking that he was wanting to go back to Houston.

    If there was a handshake deal, my guess is that it was contingent on playoff success, and Harden started getting cold feet after the really rough start to the season, so he started those leaks to try and leverage a deal early either with the Sixers or the Rockets. Word on the street is Udoka shut that down on Houston’s end, and then no other team wanted him (or didn’t make an offer that he was interested in) so he was essentially forced to opt in to the second year with Philly.

    The way I see it, Harden is trying to save face as well as garner the support of other players by trying to put the blame 100% on Morey.
