I have not liked Shaq since the 90s and the more I hear him speak and see his actions, the less I like him. And I didn’t even know about most of this until now. youtube.com/shorts/Q7pn0nU8wWs?si=O…

This is the utter arrogance of billionaires. He knows he broke the rules. We know he broke rules. But he has spent his life getting away with it so he’s offended when, for once, there are actual control his actions.

One of the really unfortunate and annoying side effect of Trump’s attacks against n Canada is it’s made me actually side with Doug Ford on numerous occasions. And the thing is Ford is cut from the same corrupt cloth as Trump.

A tale of two dogs. Both rescues. One is 14 and has spent the vast majority of his time with us. He’s now half blind and osteoarthritis in his hind legs, but still the boss of our house. The other is 8 months and more full of constant energy than any being should realistically be. Dogs are awesome.

Abdul El-Sayed on capitalism: “I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.”
We’ve spoken about capitalism versus socialism.

Do you want to talk about capitalism? Let’s talk about capitalism. Are you recording? Capitalism is about leveraging the laws of supply and demand to efficiently allocate capital expenditure to maximize value. When capitalism works, it’s because you have free entry and exit into markets. So if you believe in capitalism, you have to believe in government regulation to protect markets. In fact, right now, we have exactly the opposite. You don’t have to be a socialist to believe that you should be taxing billionaires their wealth. In fact, if you are a capitalist, you should believe in that. So, I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.

Seth Lundy had a great game, but Jamarion Sharp actually looks like a legit player, which I didn’t expect. I’d like to see the Raptors give him a 2-way or at least sign him to the 905 roster to give him a chance. You can’t teach height and he can rebound, protect the paint and has decent hands.

This really makes you wonder whether Kawhi agreeing to go back to Toronto got him (and possibly the Clippers) out of trouble with the league. Also, Uncle Dennis is a huge scumbag and Kawhi needs to surround himself with better people. youtube.com/shorts/avXoo...

For those who complained about me not liking the number of picks the Raptors gave up for Kawhi, Philly gave up less for a player 6 years younger and without an injury history. I’m excited to see Kawhi on the Raptors this season, but I think I my concerns about the Raptors bidding against themselves…

A few Kawhi notes: - Kawhi is now the only Raptor on the roster from the 2019 title team - the Raptors will likely have the strongest front court in the league. If they can somehow get Steven Adams they might have the strongest in NBA history - Boisterous Scottie and Cyborg Kawhi on the same team…

So, I do think the Raptors improve quite a bit in the short term but losing control of 3 first round picks for a 35 year old with a long injury history while seemingly bidding against no one reminds me a bit of the deals they gave BI, IQ and Poeltl.

Tim W @timwearing.bsky.social · 29/06/2026
A caveat. If this is a Kawhi for Brandon Ingram and Gradey Dick move, with no picks involved, then, while I wouldn’t be thrilled because of Kawhi’s age and injury history, I’d be somewhat okay with it. Losing picks would completely hinder their ability to improve or recover, should Kawhi break down.

I do NOT think trading for Kawhi is a good idea. The first time around, I was 100% for trading for him, but circumstances are completely different this time. In 2018, the Raptors had hit their ceiling and he was 27, so there was actually little downside to the move. This time, he’s 35 with a long…

My top five Raptors trade proposals before the draft. The only one I can realistically see actually happen is the first one for basically Yves Missi. I’d rather see a deal like this one than for Miles Turner.

So if Jaylen Brown really is available in a Giannis trade, but Boston just doesn’t want to give up any more, I have a couple of options that brings him to the Raptors and am curious how people feel about these. Ideally, they’d take Kyle Kuzmas instead of Myles Turner (because Kuzma has a shorter…
