Respectfully disagree. Clingan is massively impactful on the offensive glass— helps a bad shooting team like Portland, and provides some vertical spacing which Duop doesn’t. He’s also a much better screen setter. Not to mention he needs reps to develop as he’s much more important to the future

Excellent thread

Some thoughts on the CR/minibus.

1 The Dems negotiating with Rs were not freelancing. They coordinated with Sen Schumer. A few were ready to give in on day one, others worked to maximize appropriations wins.

Those voting for the 'deal' are the ones furthest away from electoral consequences.

Trump pardons the husband of a Republican congressional ally

Trump has legalized crime if you’re a prominent Republican or married to one.

His limitations are both on the perimeter and the interior. He’s just not fast/athletic enough to play against wing’s and not tall enough to play against bigs or guard the rim. It’s unfortunate because a great story and seems like a good guy, but he’s a 3rd-4th center on a roster-so out of rotation

Donating to this. Time for Chuck to go hangout with the Bailey’s.

Play competent defense.

Suspect it was a jru’s choice on handoff… he chose wrong

Hi, Jean. My friend is a Nigerian prince who needs to urgently retrieve $1,000,000 from an abandoned trust from his father.

If you can wire $5,000 today, you will be entitled to 35% of the trust. Please reply at your earliest convenience.

If you’ve got a Senate Democrat who is not calling for new leadership, they’re part of the problem.

We should no longer trust Senate Dems who decline to come out against the leadership that led us here. Until proven otherwise, we should assume they were in on the game to fool their own supporters.

Still processing the inanity of this cave, like, "We're going to make Republicans go on record that they want to destroy the ACA." You mean the motherfuckers who radicalized in opposition to it & voted to repeal it, like, 22 times? You're finally getting them on record? Really impressed over here

Jrue been a crunch time boss all season but he’s had a few untimely turnovers tonight

Oh no JRue….

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.

We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.

No idea how that was overturned…

That’s not conclusive evidence of a legal block

Splitter leave Shaedon in while he’s cooking challenge….

At least Dems got a ceremonial vote on the ACA subsidies in the senate so Susan Collins can vote against her party on that knowing it won’t pass but she’ll be able to run on another vote that allows her to pretend to be a moderate. The deal is an in-kind contribution to Collins.

No it isn’t… really joking scoots return can get him into more catch and shoot rhythm

This is consistent with what we reported on Saturday, though the framing is (preposterously) positive.
-Schumer was getting regular updates from the Cave Caucus
-He didn't want to be seen as pro-caving but was fine with them negotiating to cave
-Shaheen wouldn't say Schumer was working against her

JFC. Does @schumer.senate.gov not get that by caving, Democrats make it *harder,* not easier, to make the ACA subsidies expiring stick politically to Trump/GOP? This effort to shame Republicans in this context risks signaling to low-info voters that Rs are standing on conviction and Dems aren't.

Case in point - Tim Kaine saying the quiet part out out loud —

Even the Dem centrists at Third Way are mad about the deal moderate Senate Dems cut with Republicans to end the shutdown:

"We should not have surrendered until we received at least something tangible on lowering health care costs."

www.thirdway.org/press/statem... when ya lose Third Way …

I definitely think there’s a party split, I just don’t think it’s these 8 senators alone going rogue. I suspect there’s another cohort of moderate senators (likely including Warner/Schumer) who were getting tired of shutdown/didn’t think Dems could win but are up in 26/wanted cover from the base.

King’s point is that it didn’t work because Trump was cutting SNAP benefits. But lower courts had required Trump to pay full SNAP, and while Trump *probably* would have won at SCOTUS, that outcome wasn’t guaranteed and would have been known soon anyway.

Given it’s all senators who are up in 2028 or later —it certainly feels like a coordinated cave from Schumer and squishy moderates. Given that, no senator who voted no should be given any credit unless the denounce support for Chuck
