The Detroit Pistons job is the American Dream because you get paid $60 million not to work

I think that this makes the job opening in Detroit way more attractive. Yeah. Because you can go there for a year, get fired and still get paid for the remaining four or five years that you have on your contract... getting paid money not to work is the American dream. And so that's ultimately the best thing that you wanna be looking for when you're a head coach.

Monty Williams was fired by the Pistons while still being owed roughly $65 million on his contract.

The JJ Redick hiring is huge for the podcast community because it proves podcasters can do anything.

JJ Redick, coach of the Lakers... my first thought was, it's huge for the podcast community. It is. Us podcasters can do anything.

Whether Redick's hiring actually empowers all podcasters is a subjective matter of industry perception.

We are competing against the 'juice ball era' of podcasting where every show uses gimmicks and stunts to get numbers.

PFT and I want it on the record that we've always done this podcast Natural. We've never, we've never dated Taylor Swift. Nope. We've never became the, the Lakers head coach. It's the juice ball era. It is. It's crazy. Everyone's got all these tricks and bits trying to get all their numbers up. We just show up and we run the ball every day.

This is a subjective critique of the current podcasting landscape and show philosophies.

The Detroit Pistons should be run by a committee of fans via Twitter polls or a Twitch stream.

They should just let like have a, a Twitter account or a Twitch stream with polls on it. They should just have that run the Detroit Pistons and make all the personnel decisions, all the rotation adjustments. Just have it be done by Committee of Pistons fans.

The Pistons have not (yet) implemented a Twitch-based management system.

The Knicks will probably win the series in five games or even sweep the Cavs

I still think that the, the Knicks are probably gonna win in five. They could even pull off the sweep. I guess the only real question we have for you, 'cause we already, we declared that the New York Knicks have won the series after game one. Correct.

The series is currently ongoing with the Knicks leading 2-0.

The NBA should rebrand the 'granny shot' as the 'pimp grip' to encourage players to use it

Nobody, no player in the NBA wants to shoot a free throw granny style. But if it's pimp grip, that sounds pretty fucking cool. Listen, if it goes in, it doesn't matter. Like if he and he would, he actually probably get some endorsements from it.

This is a comedic suggestion and not a verifiable fact claim.

I want the Thunder to win so we can love Victor Wembanyama longer before the inevitable hate cycle starts

I know who I want to win. I want the Thunder to win this series. And the reason why I want the thunder to win this series is because I think if the thunder win, we get to restart the clock on how much longer we get to love Weby before we hate 'em. If the Spurs win this series and then they win their first championship and Weby dominates, we're gonna eventually hate Weby.

The outcome of the series is pending, and the 'hate cycle' is a subjective sociological prediction.
