> Brooklyn has been open to discussing trades for Irving, sources told B/R, although none of those calls have seemed to generate significant traction. But Brooklyn has expressed a surprising willingness to discuss sharpshooter Joe Harris, according to league sources, though he would surely require a pricey offer. “It’s crazy to me; he’s their only real three-and-D player,” said one assistant general manager. “But his name keeps popping up.” > > Rival executives believe Nic Claxton could become available, as the Nets quietly gauged his value during the 2021 draft. The third-year forward has performed well for Brooklyn, but ahead of Claxton’s restricted free agency this summer, rival executives believe he could be the outgoing player Brooklyn trades to take back a veteran into either the roughly $6 million trade exception from moving DeAndre Jordan or the $11.5 million trade exception from Spencer Dinwiddie’s sign-and-trade to Washington.

> > The only perceived contender with less flexibility than Brooklyn may be the Los Angeles Lakers. Amid the ongoing chatter of head coach Frank Vogel’s job security, Los Angeles has limited options for other significant changes. Only Talen Horton-Tucker and Kendrick Nunn are seen by rival front offices as Lakers role players on above-minimum salaries with legitimate trade value. > > The trio of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook simply hasn’t blended as well as Lakers figures hoped, and Los Angeles has held internal discussions on trade scenarios for Russell Westbrook, league sources told B/R. But moving Westbrook and the two years, $91 million remaining on his contract does seem unlikely. > > Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio’s salaries would match Westbrook’s pricey deal, reuniting James with a former championship counterpart. But that structure would have little interest from the Cavaliers’ side and has not yet been discussed by the two teams, sources said. Outside of Love’s large number, there are simply few players aside from John Wall, for whom Westbrook was traded to Washington last summer, who are available for trade and come close to Westbrook’s earnings. > > One of those players is Ben Simmons. The Athletic reported Los Angeles’ interest in Simmons on Monday, and Westbrook’s salary, outside of James’ and Davis’, is the only number on

Don't get me wrong, I genuinely love this subreddit and it has been truly helpful to me, but these people just get under my skin.

These people have such a distorted image of the ivy league that they try to pursue perfectionism just so they can gain admission into the ivy league. I truly understand the insane difficulty it is to get into the ivy league and the need to stand out, but your attitude can be borderline toxic for us average students. You make us average people that get good grades, but maybe didn't do a lot in our school as something below average. It could be demeaning to us and makes us feel worthless in front of you.

These people that worry too much about one stupid B on their report card are even worse than chance me people. Because chance me students want to know where they lie on the college spectrum, however these perfectionist people know they are amazing and are just fishing for compliments.

I am still applying to the Ivy leagues with a few C's on my transcript. Do I think I'll get in? Who knows, I have tried my hardest and this is the result. There are plenty of other universities out there that I can a get a good education from and are not the ivy league. The most important part is that I am still going to college, which to some can be a privilege.

Look, all I'm saying that I admire these perfectionist student's work ethic and dedication towards achieving excellent grades and ECs, truly the effort you put in is amazing. But please for the love of God don't go posting shit like "can I still get into Cornell with one B or B+ on my transcript" because deep down you already know the answer your question and just looking for attention.

P.S. before a wavy criticism comes my way, I wanted to say that this is just my opinion and nothing else.

Owner dropped Chase Edmonds right before games started to get a starter in. Texted me and said he forgot it was dynasty shortly after. He has players on his bench on a bye and more worthy droppable players, do I allow it to reverse and him to drop someone else? Put it to a vote? Seems like an honest mistake, but don’t want some slippery slope type thing down the line. Thoughts?

Update: reversed it. Nobody in the league really made a big deal about it and overwhelming response here was to reverse as ONE time mistake. Thanks!

I just caught a shadow magnemite that is a 14-13-15, and I was wondering if that is usable in the master league premier cup. Alternatively, I could purify it so it is a hundo, then use that instead. Just wanted some input because all the sources and sims I ran were not very conclusive towards either. Thanks in advance for any input :)

Full Quote:

> His refusal to cooperate with health and safety protocols thus far has led some team executives to speculate the All-Star point guard is attempting to leverage a trade.

>"He's just not acting like he loves this place and wants to be there," one assistant general manager said.

> Multiple team officials B/R contacted mentioned the possibility of a Nets-76ers blockbuster that would swap Irving for the disgruntled Ben Simmons, citing a natural solution for the league's two buzziest controversies.

> Yet several league sources with knowledge of the situation strongly pushed back on the notion that either Irving or the Nets are looking to make such a move. "Kyrie came to Brooklyn to win a championship alongside Kevin Durant," one veteran executive told B/R. James Harden's confidants, sources said, have communicated they expect Irving to be part of Brooklyn for the foreseeable future.

> And throughout Irving's tenure with the franchise, Nets officials have worked patiently with him behind closed doors, sources said. Whenever the electric ball-handler seemingly ruffles feathers inside the organization—such as missing seven games early last season in January because of "personal reasons"—management has worked through adversity with empathy.

> "I'm sure Sean Marks and Steve Nash aren't thrilled with the situation, but despite all the s--t that goes on, they still treat him really well there," one league source with knowledge of the situation said. "They hear him out. They make the effort to try and communicate with him. That's why Brooklyn is a special place."

> Recent history suggests that view holds water. Last season, when the Nets engaged in trade talks to acquire Harden during Irving's January hiatus, Houston inquired about Irving, but Brooklyn never entertained parting with him, sources told B/R.

QUALIFYING POTS

QUALIFYING GROUPS:

> Who actually becomes Popovich's replacement could prove to be situational. If the Spurs choose a younger voice to match San Antonio's younger group, perhaps Popovich would be open to some type of an advisory role, just as any former Spur has been welcomed back to the franchise with open arms. If San Antonio were to hire a first-time head coach, such as Hardy or Ginobili, many league observers B/R contacted would expect the Spurs to hire a former head coach, such as Brett Brown, to serve as a chief assistant.

> Brown's name is often mentioned for the head coaching job as well. If player development is an integral part of the Spurs' cultural fabric, Brown was the needle that San Antonio used for those stitches. He has chosen not to interview for another head coaching post since parting ways with Philadelphia in August 2020, sources told B/R, and has revelled in being a father to a sophomore high school basketball standout.

> Perhaps Brown is waiting for an opening in San Antonio. Or perhaps he's truly enjoying the downtime with family, shifting back and forth from the Philly area and his hometown roots in Maine. Uprooting his son could pose a difficulty for any Brown reunification with the Spurs, according to several sources with connections to Brown, although if there's any local hoops scene the coach is familiar with outside of their current city, it is San Antonio.

1. Points in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;

2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;

3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;

4. If more than two teams are tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams are still tied, all head-to-head criteria above are reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;

5. Goal difference in all group matches;

6. Goals scored in all group matches;

7. Away goals scored in all group matches;

8. Wins in all group matches;

9. Away wins in all group matches;

10. Disciplinary points (direct red card = 3 points; double yellow card = 3 points; single yellow card = 1 point);

11. UEFA club coefficient.

So if I have got this right, Atlético Milan are tied 2-2 in head to head so we can skip the first 3 tie breakers. Number 4 is irrelevant since there are no scenario where 3 teams will finish on the same points

So it goes to goal difference in all group matches, so if we win against Porto with 2-0 for example and Milan beat Liverpool 1-0, then it will go to goals scored. Right now Atleti has 4 goals and Milan have 5 so it would be equal in that scenario. Then it would go to away goals scored. Currently Milan have 1 more away goal than Atleti but we have 1 away match left.

If we are equal in away goals scored then it is number of wins(where we are also equal). So then it would end up coming down to number of away wins. And if Atleti win against Porto we would we would have 2 away wins.

So if I have interpreted this correctly, as long as Atlético beat Porto by 1 goal more than Milan beat Liverpool, then we will go through no matter what
