Rockets trade TyTy Washington and Usman Garuba + stuff to Atlanta for Alpha Kaba

And yet three NBA teams have dumped him in the last two months. What is that you see that all these actual NBA coaches and GMs are missing?

 

I just see a lot of insecurity in your argument. For example, I'm certain you know we traded him to make room for Lopez who's a much better player at his position. However, you prefer to lump it in to "dumped by three teams" to strengthen your argument.

I'm not a better GM than these people, I just think this is a rare instance where some GM's got something wrong or couldn't take advantage of it. It happens in the NBA. Didn't 5 teams pass on Luka Doncic? Did we not pass on acquiring Michael Jordan for Sampson? Did Pat Beverley and PJ Tucker not have to go abroad before one team believed in them?

 

Bucks signed Tyty to a two-way contract, not sure if anyone posted about it.

 

I hope he makes the most of this opportunity.

 

With a 2-way, he's going to spend a lot of time in the G-league.

 

I find it very odd he chose Milwaukee. That city is not ranked high in the Lesbian population...

 

Glad TyTy is at least getting a chance somewhere.

 

They wanted to have Rockets players play with Brook Lopez, now he got the chance.

 

Not just Rockets players. Rockets legends.

 

Q: Despite the fact that he never played for the Rockets, has Brook Lopez entered the Rockets Legendarium?

A: Yes, he is in the Emeritus wing next to Charles "Bo" Outlaw and Chris Bosh.

 

Don't forget Damon Stoudamire

 

I could not disagree more, but we're at an impasse if you think Musk was poor and worked his way to the top, hah.

 

Okay, he took advantage of his opportunities.

 

Let this thread die.

 

He wasn't poor, but he made his own money. He got a 28k loan and with brilliant ideas and decisions, turned it into 235 billion.

Luck had nothing to do with it.

 

So is Tillman a culinary genius for selling fish sticks for $40 in an aquarium?

if I was given money to invest I could make brilliant decisions too because if I didn’t I would get more money to invest somewhere else. And if they all failed I could rack up debt because they when you are rich or are known to have money you get unlimited credit.

I don’t know what ideas he has had other than insider trading by propping up a meme coin to cash out at the peak. He just spends money and acts like he is smart.

 

For as much negative press as Musk draws these days, I'm not trying to hate. I think Musk is a smart dude who probably worked harder than your average shmuck. But he absolutely, 100% benefited from luck. Everyone who has seen that level of success (any level really, as I was getting at with my earlier post) has, and I think even Musk himself would admit it.

Let me ask you (and @Mathloom), even if "hard work" is the difference between success and failure and luck or how much money you were born into have NOTHING to do with it (which I would strongly disagree with in 99% of cases), how do you think hard working people become hard working?

 

Excellent Rockets talk - keep it up. You're doing a great job.

 

If you work for or own part of SpaceX you are - by operation of law - a Rockets Legend - that is just true, regardless of what you think of Musk and his online doofus mob.
