Junk 07/02: Stat Geek Challenge

 

So, apparently Hedo is either a decent FA pickup or not worth his asking price. I've actually heard arguments for both sides of the coin, plus an opinion that it could be a smokescreen. Also, he was once seen eating pizza. It would be great if there was a place I could go to get 36 hastily-assembled takes on the situation rehashing redundant talking points, but that's obviously a pipe dream.

So, let's make the best of it and put our collective heads together on something I've literally been losing sleep over: a puzzling statistics problem on a project I've been working on.

Star-divide

The only way I know how to explain this is in an imaginary example, so bear with me:

Let's say I own a company, and the company has six main products. I have $600 I'd like to apply to advertising and instead of divvying it up equally I'd like to put more money towards products that are struggling than those that are not.

So I draw up a report for each product to see how each is doing. Unfortunately, I use an unusual reporting system that spits out numbers that are percentage-like but definitely aren't percentages. Here's a breakdown:

Product A: -1.9
Product B: 1.5
Product C: 4.0
Product D: 5.6
Product E: 6.2
Product F: 6.3

(negative numbers mean the sales fell short of the goal, positive numbers mean they exceeded it; a 20 would be a perfect score)

Obviously, Product A could use a lot of help while Products E and F are pretty well set. I can tell A needs a good amount more dough than any of the others, but how much more?

Well, this is kind of where things fall apart in my little accounting act. My instincts say that I should find the average for all products (here it would be 3.7), then calculate the distance of each product from that, trying to find parity between all six. Anything below the average gets its share of the $600 multiplied by its distance while anything above the average gets its share divided.

That works fine in theory, and even makes sense in a human-logic kind of way: Product C, for example, is only very slightly above the average, so its share would be right around the $100 average. The wheels come off for me, though, when I start attempting to multiply or divide by values less than one (Product C would be a +.3, which would have the opposite effect of what I intended) or accounting for the possibility of dividing by zero (which should be zero effect, or 1:1).

I kind of seize up at that point and try to imagine a negative number represented in a pie chart or try to wrap my head around dynamic ranges or whatever and then feel bad and decide I'm curious to see if someone's got a new take on Hedo. Then repeat.

So, any ideas where I'm going wrong? Or maybe there's just somewhere I've gotta go right that I'm just not seeing?

If you came here to talk about sneakers or balls or celebrities or all of the above, congrats on making it this far and you're officially absolved of all necessity to comment on this dilemma. If you're ridiculously smart with numbers and can see the fallacy in my efforts, though, please let me know - it'd really save me some grief!

could you weight by a distribution

where you did something like weight the amount of money received by 1/(the value of the distribution at that point) for values to the left of the mean and just by the value of the distribution for events to the right of the mean.

you might also scale the mean to 1, but it will no longer be a probability distribution

This would at least avoid a division by 0 problem

I think I've considered something like that..

but for some reason it didn’t work.

Just for clarity, I’m thinking you’re suggesting I convert the distance values, in this case being:
-5.4, -2.2, .3, 1.9, 2.5, 2.6 (Products A-F subtracted by 3.7)

to:
1/5.4, 1/2.2, .3, 1.9, 2.5, 2.6

If that’s the case, what if I get a value of, say, -.2? That’d translate to 1/.2, which still sticks me with the ‘dividing by a decimal’ problem.

I’ve also thought about adjusting the mean to 1, but wouldn’t that turn a -1 into a 0? If so, that’d just switch the values without addressing the problem per se.

Of course, I’m commenting on things outside my expertise, so correct me if I’m wrong. Oh, and thanks for responding!

dividing by a decimal is not a problem

it is just the same as multiplying by a number greater than 1, but the problem with the model we are talking about right now is that there is no constraint on the number of dollars you would spend.

I was thinking about this problem a bit more and I think what you really need is something that tells you how much your profit goes up for every advertising dollar spent for each product. Then this just becomes a maximization problem. Let me know if you have something like that, otherwise we could just make up some fake rates of return/advertising dollar and then maximize.

Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.

I think the issue may be...

that you are trying to reach a goal of 3.7 which is the average of the numbers. But why would you want your 6.3 to drop to 3.7? I think to begin with, when trying to even out the numbers, is to pick a goal. This goal should be between 6.3 (your highest number) and 20 (perfect score. Let us assume that your marketing strategies are equal from one product to the next, and that the $600 will meet your goal. If the goal is 6.3 for example, the difference becomes:
A – 8.2
B – 4.8
C – 2.3
D – 0.7
E – 0.1
F – 0.0

Then, you add those differences together and find the percentage of each to the total, so
A – 50.93%
B – 29.81%
C – 14.29%
D – 4.35%
E – 0.62%
F – 0.00%

You take those numbers into the amount of money you are throwing at this marketing scheme ($600) and you determine how much is needed.
A – $305.59
B – $178.88
C – $85.71
D – $26.06
E – $3.73
F – $0.00

If however, you are trying to make all your numbers a perfect number, you take the difference to 20
A – 21.9 – 22.28% – $133.67
B – 18.5 – 18.82% – $122.92
C – 16 – 16.28% – $97.66
D – 14.4 – 14.65% – $87.89
E – 13.8 – 14.04% – $84.23
F – 13.7 – 13.94% – $83.62

I think that last option would be the way to go, as you said 20 is a perfect score. If after this marketing campaign is over and the numbers didn’t reach the max potential, then you re-evaluate and redistribute for the next marketing campaign.

To answer your original JD question, it really depends how effective your marketing is.

Is each hundred bucks going to barely move the meter or is stuff gonna’ really rock and roll?

I think the reason this is so hard to solve is that you don’t really know. Here’s your numbers:

Product A: -1.9
Product B: 1.5
Product C: 4.0
Product D: 5.6
Product E: 6.2
Product F: 6.3

If every hundred bucks moves your product 1 point upwards, than you’d want to assign ~475 bucks to Product A and ~125 bucks to Product B, which would then give you these numbers:

Product A: (-1.9 +4.75) = 2.85
Product B: (1.5 + 1.75) = 2.75
Product C: 4.0
Product D: 5.6
Product E: 6.2
Product F: 6.3

However, if your marketing campaign moves it 3 points per hundred bucks, that distribution would be lame:

Product A: [-1.9 +(4.75*3)] = 12.35
Product B: [1.5 + (1.75*3)] = 6.75
Product C: 4.0
Product D: 5.6
Product E: 6.2
Product F: 6.3

As you can see, you’ve given too much weight to product A in the second scenario.

The bottom line is that there’s no one formula that can tell you what to do unless you know what your marketing is going to do. Then it’s just like assigning limited talent points when you’re creating your own player on NBA Live…you just assign marketing money to the products as you please.

Any reason why you can't just add

2.9 to all your original figures and just do away with all the negative numbers while maintaining their original realtionship to one another?

by 92wastheyear on Jul 2, 2009 6:32 AM PDT up reply actions  

I was going to make a very similar suggestion

but how much to add to the list of numbers depends on why some of the values are negative in the first place. If a scale that produces the negative numbers is the problem, then I would want to convert the scale into one that does not have negative numbers. But, I’d want the converted scale to make sense.

For example, you could add 100 to every observation, which would remove the problem of dividing by a negative number problem, but that might not give you the ratios that you want. Getting the right ratios requires rescaling the report in the right way.

My intuition would be to add 20 to every observation since you said that 20 was perfect score and I’d assume -20 is the worst possible score.

I still think you’re getting too tied up with making averages and stuff. Keep it simple.

What products need marketing?
The ones that are struggling.

How much marketing?
Enough to get them up to even with the other products.
After that, distribute the marketing evenly.

by prezofdeath on Jul 2, 2009 2:32 AM PDT up reply actions  

I think..

that solution could be attributed to the shortcomings of my example as an illustration – my bad.

Let’s say everything’s gotta have SOME money going to it, but an amount inversely proportionate with its strength or weakness.

Hence my pie chart reference. If there is one meager slice and five large ones, say, then find the average (where all slices are equally-sized) and calculate a ratio for each slice that will expand or contract it to said average. Overall, that’s pretty easy and straightforward.

The really tricky part comes into play when dealing with slices of the pie that have either zero value or negative value. I know that’s basically impossible, so I’m trying to find a workaround of some sort.

p.s. You’ve already put way more time into this than I would have if I were you. You can consider yourself off the hook any time you wish and I’m very appreciative for your help!

I still think you need to know how effective your marketing is going to be.

Even if we use your new “easier” numbers, we still have to know what marketing is going to do.

Product A: 2
Product B: 6
Product C: 8
Product D: 8
Product E: 8
Product F: 10

If we devote 50% of our budget to Product A, does it go to 4.5? 10? 19?

If it goes only to 4.5, then we have to spend a HUGE chuck of our money on it. If, however, it jumps to 19 with only 50% of the budget, we can obviously spread our money out over the six products more evenly.

Your process should be this:

1. Raise Product A to the level of Product B
2. Raise Product A and B to the level of Product C
etc. etc. until all products are “10s” with Product F. Then any additional funding leftover is spread out equally.

The key factor here is your marketing’s effectiveness. If it’s super effective, then your funding is going to be spread out pretty evenly over all the products. If your marketing is weak, then the majority of it is going to go to the top of that list (Product A).

Having a negative number really doesn’t matter—the problem you’re having isn’t that—it’s that you have two variables and you need to solve one (marketing effectiveness) before you try to figure out the second (the ratio at which you wish to divide your marketing funds).

Hopefully that helps. I’m headed to bed either way ;-p I’ll check in in the AM and see if anyone else was able to help ya’.

ok 12Sharks, I know this isn't what you are shooting for but...

When I was a youngster, my old man had a family business and he told me about a scenario just like the one outlined above. He said that if you wanted to be really be efficient with your ad dollars, never spend it on losers. Instead spend money advertising on products that are already doing well, saleswise. The reason why is that you will be exposing the popular product to even more people than would just walk into the store. This would allow you to make even more money on that popular product which would allow you to take a loss on the unpopular product and still be waaaay ahead

If 20 is your goal for each then sum all differences from 20,
that sum total is then your 100% of you $600
in this case sum total is 98.3
so 98.3 = 100% of you total distance
and $600 = 100% of your money
$600 divided by your total distance (98.3) is the factor (6.1038) to multiply by each point.
When you add all the dollar amounts in far right column you’ll see it adds to $600
this assumes everything is linear which it is not.

Yeah, but I don’t like the answer

actually 92wastheyear has the real answer
if you chose 10 as your goal all the numbers change. If you keep your goal above the highest rated product you don’t have to deal with the negative numbers, I took the easy way out.
I think you’re more on the right track with averaging the numbers.
There is no right answer from what I can tell. i.e. is $600 really enough to move all products upwards, it so then choose a goal above the group.

Wow here I am back at this problem,

that’s because as I was reading thru the junk again and realized something. If you choose a lower goal say 10, proportionately more money will be given to the worst product verses using 20. Likewise if you choose 6.3 which is your highest rated product (F) then no money will be allotted to prod F very little to prod E and the bulk to the lesser products. Hence (in theory) leveling out your products faster.

But I agree with Tom; we can upgrade at PG and SF, but our best chance at winning a title is Oden becoming Oden.

I think he's worth more than what Dave offers, money wise

BUT, I don’t think he’s THAT much better than Batum, and while is offering is better defense in general, not at a position we need.

I’d rather develop Batum, personally, and use the cap space money elsewhere. I think we can improve at the SF spot, but would rather improve elsewhere, and what Ariza does isn’t THAT far from Batum.

Ariza is a lot better than Batum

a lot better.

I love Batum and think he can be as good or better than Ariza eventually, but an Ariza/Batum platoon would be sweet. 48 minutes of quality defense and efficient, non-ball demanding offense.

by jksnake99 on Jul 2, 2009 10:29 AM PDT up reply actions  

If who we get is meant to grow with the team

Then ya pick whoever ya think will be better in 2 years. I don’t think Ariza is enough of an upgrade, and Batum has a VERY good chance to be quite a bit better, to warrant using our cap space on Ariza.

I would love to have Ariza, but not over a potential upgrade at PG, or at least a defensive upgrade there.

Ariza is better right now, but not enough that it isn’t totally feasible than Batum could be quite a bit better in the near future.

If we’re choosing one player to use our cap space on, I wouldn’t be upset if it is Ariza, but I’d rather address a bigger position of need.

Yeah, and while I know our SF's are relatively weak

I just don’t think we need an upgrade there, with what seems to be available. Not when it’s perhaps our best position defensively already, and a role player defender is perhaps the best thing for a team like ours.

SF is a positon we can afford to develop future star-role-players like Batum or Webster. PG, on the other hand…

And I've liked Ariza ever since his Knick days, when I was living in NY

They were crum bums to ditch him, and so was Orlando. You could tell he was gonna be a good player.

From watching him then, and seeing Batum now, I think Batum will be better, so I am disinclined to offer Ariza a big deal. I think Batum is better off the ball, has a chance to be a point forward, a better ball handler, and better at his age than Ariza. And Ariza isn’t a big enough upgrade to be a WIN NOW move; it’d be for the future as well.

I think Ariza absolutely is a big enough upgrade to be a *win now* move

He’s one of the top 5-10 perimeter defenders in the league, and has an above average PER. WP48 thinks he’s a top 10 SF. Giving Outlaw’s minutes to Ariza (while keeping Batum’s about the same) would be worth several additional wins for the Blazers. Perhaps 3-4.

I say, we get em both

We will fill our roster with 6’10’’ tweeners that can play every position. We’ll the NBA version of the dominant Detroit Lions with their 9 WR’s on offense. No one will be able to match up with us. Our roster will have everyone listed as our starting and back-up SF. Mike Rice will no longer have keys to the game.

WWE is going to be here on Sunday and we have a friend who works for WWE. We could have had free ringside tickets but about 8 other friends said they wanted to go, so we got good seats but not ringside because we needed 10. Now four jerks have said they can’t go and I’m pretty sure they can, they just changed their mind about going to WWE.

But it would cost more, it could have rain/thunder tomorrow, and I’m tired to go so early. So I probably have to do either or on Sunday. Hampton Court is nice, but a bit like Versaille or other castles that I already know.

That reminds me

That Denver game where Sergio did great, I actually watched it “with” KP. It was the day I met him, in a sports bar I would watch games at my first year here in LA.

He came in with his galpal (which, back then when I told people I met KP, I didn’t tell anyone he was with a non-wife lady, since I didn’t wanna rat him out, and they both seemed surprised to be recognized, and be recognized while together), talked with me for a moment, and sat at the bar to watch the game. I sat at a table purposefully slightly behind him, to watch him watch the game. He couldn’t see I was there, I do not think. I am creepy, but that’s okay.

I never mentioned this part because I’m not really a Sergio lover and it is impossible to prove, but the people he REALLY cheered for in that game were Martell and LMA. He kept mentioning them over and over, sayin’ “c’mon Martell, NICE SHOT, yes!” and same for LMA. I thought it was weird at the time, because most people thought he was more anti-Marty (not his pick) and pro-Sergio, but it was almost like he wasn’t even caring that Sergio was having a good game.

He got really, really, really into it, which was cool to see from a front office exec.

After we lost, he didn’t seem very happy. Plus, during the game, this one dude who I’d seen and been annoyed with before during games at the bar was sloppy drunk, and complaining about something to KP (I couldn’t hear what), and KP said “what the &^%$ do you want me to do about it? Shut the ^& up”.

It was awesome.

Hedo's Flight

I’m killing time to wind down the workday.

I’ve tried tracking on flightaware the registration numbers I dug up for Paul Allen’s (Vulcan’s) aircraft; his 757 (he did have two, but sold one a couple years ago) or his Global Express and cannot find any recent arrivals in Portland/Hillsboro. He may have another stealth jet I’m not aware of.

In fact, I can’t find any arrivals for Orlando originated flights, or any trans- con private flights that looked like they may have stopped elsewhere before arriving here. I looked back to yesterday at 5pm in both Orlando (departures) and Portland(arrivals). I also looked at the executive airport in Orlando, just for good measure.
I checked arrivals to Portland and Hillsboro until about 5pm this evening and found nothing that looked like it could be them.

I wonder if they are flying Alaska to Seattle, then hitch-hiking down I-5? ;-)

My dream are unfortunately realistic

• We have $50 Mil even of salary if we renounce our trade exceptions right?
• If the Cap is going to be $57.3 as projected, then we have $7.3 Mil
• Renounce Koponen and Freeland, adds what, 1.8 Mil to Cap room? $9.1 Mil
• Trade Outlaw and Blake for Hinrich, takes 600K of Cap room, $8.5 Mil
Offer 4 years to Turk, using all of the remaining Cap room for the first year, then increasing 10.5% (I believe this is the max it can increase)

Year 1 – $8.5 Mil
2 – $9.4 Mil
3 – $10.4 Mil
4 – $11.5 Mil

That’s 4 years, 40 Million. Take it Hedo. Come to Hippie Town, USA. You’ll love it.

I’m not horribly concerned about Artest going to LA. Is he even better than Ariza at this point? Roy torched him pretty much every time he touched the ball in the Houston series. Battier was the much better defender.

Anyone find it funny that a month ago Laker fans were badmouthing Artest and calling him a moron?

I think Artest has really lost a step on the defensive end. Roy was burning him pretty bad on the perimeter.

To a certain extent though

Roy has become a guy NO ONE can guard an entire game.

He’s too crafty, too versatile.

yeah, it’s the iso stuff on the perimeter that was bad. He was crossing Ron over viciously.

I give Ron a 7 on the R to R scale. Ariza is either a seven or an eight.

Yeah, he can not only name them, but have photos to go along with it. I’ve got several of Kirk in a defensive stance looking all intense, and the kowering Korver one is just classic. Surely everyone else know for defense – or lack thereof – has an equally apropos photo. 4 through 6 would probably be the most problematic – how would you pictorially define mediocre defense?

Other than the NBA conspiring with the NCAA is there a reason that

the NBA doesn’t put in a 20 year old age limit for it’s main league, and a 17 year old limit for the D-League?

My idea is to let young D-Leaguers enter the draft at 20 and for over 20s let the D-League function the way it used to (before NBA teams took control of D-League teams).

The draft prospects would be better/more experienced and we would have a better idea who the best players are, so there would be fewer busts.

Elite players could get paid legitimately (eliminate a lot of this agent/AAU/College coach garbage)

And the D-League would be really exciting to watch, since some of the best young prospects would play there

Dark clouds hangin’ over me
When will they go away
Rain is in my eyes and I can’t see
Life’s become just cloudy days

Why she done me like she done
I guess I’ll never know
She knows I need her more than anyone
I made a point to let it show

   Cloudy days don’t the sun ever shine anymore
   Stormy weather will you always be around
When I’m down I can’t stand cloudy days

Lord it seems so long ago
But you know they say if the rain won’t come
The grass’ll have no chance to grow

Do ya wanna know who always sucks whenever I see him play on old replays on NBA TV?

Wilt Chamberlin. He always looks awful, compared to his rep as “the greatest big man ever”.

He looks awkward, slow, but big, and had a soft touch. His moves would get sent back into space though.

by Mortimer on Jul 2, 2009 9:37 PM PDT up reply actions  

I always just hated how he moved

Obviously, he played decades before I was able to even see him on TV in old replays, but I’m always so surprised how poorly he moved, how akward his offense was, and how average he seemed. Sure got a lot of shots though.

And, of course, most early Wilt wasn’t filmed. I don’t think I’ve seem him in his young prime. I’ve never read good stuff about his 100 point game, where he was fed the ball each play and the other team was letting him score.

I always thought Russell looked great, Unseld, Kareem…

I prolly just didn’t see the right game(s). The numbers speak for themself.

by Mortimer on Jul 2, 2009 9:47 PM PDT up reply actions  

Wilt made Kareem look like a midget on the court....

there was one game when Kareem started a fight with Happy Hariston and Wilt went over to him and put that big ol’ hand on Jabbar’s chest and pushed him away…it was a classic.

He was so powerful…it was unbelievable to watch! His dunk would rock the house.

The battles between Russell and Wilt were amazing to watch…I was lucky…got to see them all!

Has everyone talked themself into Hedo yet?

It WILL be an upgrade offensively, and a 2nd person who can do the pick and roll aside from Roy WILL be nice. Plus, lotsa open jumpers he can hit, and we’ll have to implement more small forward plays to get the offense moving for everyone.

And as the backup PF also, he’ll do the Outlaw role even better. And replace Outlaw in the end-game lineups. He’s a better decision maker and defender than Outlaw, at least, so that’ll improve us all by itself.

Plus, getting Hedo means we HAVE to do a trade still. So the PG can still be upgraded just as easily as before, except no more offering a team straight up cash savings by absorbing the player’s contract with cap space.

Unless, we sign and trade Hedo with the Magic, and use cap space for the PG. I dunno.

I know he’ll help us on offense, and he’s got experience with a big man, and I trust KP. Just wish we had PG settled first.

I don't think anyone disagrees with any of that

If Hedo gets Outlaw’s minutes (with Batum playing about the same # of minutes as last year, but off the bench), he’s a big upgrade. I like that he has experience playing with a big man.

His low PER, penchant to take dumb shots, his age and his likely contract scare me a lot.

If we sign Hedo and the trade to get Kirk or a Kirk-like player happens, I’ll consider it a decent offseason.

by jksnake99 on Jul 2, 2009 11:02 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah, he's another jump shooter on a jump shooting team

But, if our PG is able to penetrate and defend (the Bayless Theory, but in the Now, not the Maybe Someday), we could have a super balanced and unstoppable offense attack that is fine defensively.

We DID end the year 13th in defense, right? I expect that to improve as every ages as well.

Just wish he wasn’t the wrong age and likely the wrong price… the 8-ish million it starts at is nice, but those end years, whoo boy.

Even of his game isn't predicated on athleticism

33-35 is still 33-35, and athlete’s body’s tend to break down.

I think they just got lucky that Ron was willing to sign for the MLE

I think they were going to try to sign Ariza and Odom, but now they will get Artest and Odom, which they view as an upgrade. They might be right— we’ll see.

Now we have to guard the two most physical wing players in the NBA on one team who also both happen to be good to great defenders

Only LeBron and Melo are stronger wings by themselves. We would need much better defense from Roy, and at least a Nic in top form or better yet a Gerald Wallace to match up with the other. Hedo can’t guard Kobe or Artest.

And who says LA stops there. They can still acquire a quick PG/SG or hope Brown develops. Then we are screwed on three positions. Pau neutralizes LMA. Bynum when not injured about neutralizes Greg.

I have a very very bad feeling about this one.

Hedo could guard Artest

Artest isn’t all that quick offensively, but he’s built like a bull and posts up small defenders. Hedo has enough size for that.

Kobe would still be a problem, but he’s slipping.

Lakers better for one more year. That’s chill wit’ me.

by Mortimer on Jul 2, 2009 11:29 PM PDT up reply actions  

In general

I REALLY don’t worry about Artest offensively. Give him space and BEG him to take that jumper like the star he is.

Kobe will keep sliding into a 20 foot jump shooter as he keeps losing a step.

Batum will get more minutes to guard Kobe if we meet in the playoffs, I guess.

by Mortimer on Jul 2, 2009 11:31 PM PDT up reply actions  

exactly

give Ron space and hope he shoots his team out of the game. Ron’s offense is not scary.

by jksnake99 on Jul 2, 2009 11:33 PM PDT up reply actions  

Artest is a better outside shooter than Ariza. He can space the floor just as well for Kobe and Pau/Bynum. And he is the better passer, which is crucial in the triangle. He will get a ton of assists in LA, and catch the ball cutting for easy baskets from Kobe or Pau.

Batum is very nice, but physically he isn’t there yet on the level of those two players and offensively they can contain him fairly easily with those wings and inside help.

I assume Kobe and Ron Ron will cost the Lakers a few games chucking away, but win them a lot more. And when both get hot or Kobe gets hot offensively and Ron defensively the team is about unstoppable.

Morey can only pick good role players

Otherwise he either loves oft-injured flaw stars (Yao, McGrady), or players who are crazy (Artest).

Yes, this is a totally fair argument I just made.

by Mortimer on Jul 2, 2009 11:43 PM PDT up reply actions  

I think, on balance, Ariza is the better offensive player going forward

It remains to be seen whether Ariza’s shooting in the playoffs was him making an actual improvement or just having a great month. For now, I agree Artest has to be considered the better open shooter, but Artest’s decision making is really questionable and he takes enough dumb shots to neutralize his better open shooting and passing.

I’m not sure Ariza doesn’t have more to offer than Artest on D next year either.

I don’t really think the Lakers got much better at all. They were great with Ariza and they’ll be great with Ron.

by jksnake99 on Jul 2, 2009 11:41 PM PDT up reply actions  

The Blazers get a little better with Hedo (if he takes Outlaw's minutes and not Rudy's)

I think the Lakers maybe get a little better with Ron but not much. Hedo doesn’t make the Blazers better by enough to beat the Lakers. For that we’d need Oden to become dominant, as in way, way better than Bynum. I’m not too optimistic.

by jksnake99 on Jul 2, 2009 11:21 PM PDT up reply actions

At PG will go a long way towards answering this question.

I'll tell you a funny story I had to deal with at work

There was this guy who got super drunk, and then went back to the office around midday and started to insult all of his co-workers and make a huge mess. So they fired him. He filed a complaint and he won; got some thousands of euros in compensation and the company was forced to re-hire him. Apparently drunkeness has to be habitual for it to become a motive for firing.

 You may be clueless, but I think you’re onto something

I don’t think homo sapiens are wired to deal with uncertainty very well. One of the the things I love about this time of year is seeing how different people respond to the suspense. Some people step back and and get superanalytical; some put their faith in their fearless leader; some strive to uncover every piece of information and solve the puzzle; and yes, some go nuts. It makes for very interesting reading.

I'm going to write one called "Why we need to trade Batum after we sing Hedo."

For real question though. Can Orlando resign (sign and trade) Hedo for 5 years $50 million and then trade him to Portland for Outlaw? I think that’s a swell use of capspace.

Yes.

I believe so.

And then we got more cap space!

I thought about a sign n’ trade for Hedo with some package, and use cap space to absorb contract for a PG, but maybe Orlando doesn’t WANT that amount of cash on their roster in any form.

Once I realized it, I told some new Spanish friends I met on the train that I accidentally missed that the 4th of July happened, and they got all concerned and sad for me and said “oh my gosh, are you okay?” I felt bad for mentioning it, because I really didn’t care.

casey had some funny stuff back in the day.

link.

The other issue that fans enamored by "morality" (basically meaning the morality of others, not their own) might find distressing is that Zach had registered guns in the car, and refused to let the cops search his vehicle. I have to say that personally, I respect Zach a lot more because of it. First off, the police are far too quick to do searches of vehicles when it comes to younger citizens. I’m not black (could you tell?) so I won’t try to make broader statements about how that might factor into the police wanting to search Zach’s ride, but I’ve got suspicions. Once again, every time I’ve been pulled over after dark, the cop has wanted to search my car. One time I was driving home from work with a bunch of empty boxes in my car (I was moving back to the University of Oregon) when a cop pulled me over, asked me to step out of my car, slapped cuffs on me and sat me on the hood while he went through every box. The reason he pulled me over? My license plate was too dirty, though it probably had more to do with the fact that I was driving a piece of [ed. note: bad word omitted] car. Or maybe it was because he happened to have an attractive young lady as a ride-along, and he felt like giving her a show of his awesome authority by harassing a 19 year-old at 4:30 in the afternoon. Did he issue me a ticket? No, but he did leave my license on the hood of my car, which, in my embarrassed state, I forgot to grab, which in turn required me to pay for a new license. How this corresponds to Zach? If I hadn’t been afraid of the badge, I would have told the cop that he couldn’t search my car, and that if he wanted to tow it away, so be it. I let the police intimidate me into relinquishing my rights, and that makes me a chump.

We need to get each country's version of Michael Jordan

We’re getting the Turkish Jordan, we need Mikael Pietrus to get the French MJ.

I guess Rudy can be the Spanish MJ.

Joel Freeland is the British MJ? That’s kinda stretching it.

Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.
