  • Washington was followed by the Utah Jazz (tied for the fourth-best odds) at No. 2, the Memphis Grizzlies (sixth-best odds) at No. 3 and the Chicago Bulls (ninth-best odds) at No. 4.

    That meant the two other teams tied with the Wizards for the best lottery odds – the Indiana Pacers and Brooklyn Nets — fell to fifth and sixth in June’s draft, respectively. However, that also meant the Pacers’ pick was sent to the LA Clippers, as part of a trade that saw Indiana land center Ivica Zubac at February’s trade deadline.

    Indiana will now get its 2031 pick back instead, as the Pacers were going to keep their pick in this year’s draft only if they moved into the top four spots in the lottery.

    Wow, that’s super unlucky for the Pacers. My condolences








  • Agree to disagree. Shutdown all the ski resorts in Colorado and see what happens to property values over the next 20 years. The proportion of land might be small, but the population and monetary influx is massive.

    In order for housing to be expensive, people need to have the money to pay for it. If there’s no high paying jobs within hundreds of miles, and there’s no tourism money, the demand simply won’t be there and prices will fall. Again, look at the Appalachians and the Adirondacks for example. Ever since the advent of air travel, they’ve been steadily depopulated and economically depressed, as people from the cities prefer to vacation in more remote locations, such as the Rockies.

    I should also acknowledge that a lot of land out west is owned by the government or other major groups, and that probably also plays a role. I’m not as familiar with the real estate market of Wyoming as I’d like to be. But I can’t help but dispute your assertion that prices are high because building is expensive. Seems like a tautology somehow.






  • I guess on the bright side at least it shows the text of the comments that got removed right there, and links directly to the thread. So people can easily verify for themselves whether they would agree with the ban or not. It’s more of an annoyance than anything, they can put whatever reason they want for banning you, but they can’t edit your comments or control the words you actually wrote down. So if you stand by what you wrote and others agree with your perspective, it just makes the mod look bad and they can also get removed for abusing mod powers.
