Had absolutely no idea that Dennis ‘The Worm’ Rodman had played basketball in Brighton (where I went to university) about 20 years ago!

There was definitely room for a Win, but a few calls went against us, a lot of missed free throws, and some strong opposition (didn’t work out so well for us…)[https://m.acmomento.com/mo/o6LU8oLDsYPL6GUxrXZlnHty4h63/basketball/fdd256f6-5b83-4ca1-91aa-46e9abb5d9d5]

Re: Trae Young trade to my Washington Wizards for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert

A few thoughts on the trade:

Having no picks is particularly advantageous for us. We owe one to the Knicks, but we’re confident we’ll maintain our current status by continuing to perform poorly, especially considering the exceptional talent in this upcoming draft class.

We should aim to become competitive within the next two years. And having Trae as a primary guard will free space for Alex Sarr on pick & rolls, and the other shooters/forwards on the team too :)

Our salary cap is $80 million, so even with Trae Young’s $49 million contract, we still have substantial room to secure bad contracts or free agents this summer.

Additionally, we haven’t had a superstar on our roster since Russell Westbrook’s tenure from 2020 to 2021, and John Wall before that.

The Wizards don’t have any big extensions looming, so even if they gave Young a two- or three-year deal this summer, they’ll be in great shape financially. This might be the perfect rental with a chance at long-term success. And if it doesn’t work out, they can cut the bait and maintain business as usual in their development process.

Un excellent excellent épisode du podcast “Fifty States” sur Baltimore cette semaine!

Great game, tight, but a frustrating loss in the end.

I’m tired of losing like this by leaving too many 3pt shooters open or not defending tight enough, or trying too hard to score a tough basket.

Fantastic time at the Clipse show last night, live at Olympia (Paris, FR)

Fantastic time at the Clipse show last night!

Was supposed to see Pusha-T live a few years back but gig got cancelled, so extremely happy to have seen him in my hometown.

Given that Pharrell Williams is now the Creative Director at Louis Vuitton in Paris and that they recorded the album in the offices, I was low-key hoping for a Pharrell appearance. And not only did he show up, he also came on stage for the very last song!
