It took a few days but I scratched out some thoughts on the NBA draft lottery for the 🏀 folks in on the smallweb (cc: @jefbrr @pilch @manton @cheesemaker and prob others)

Just opened Brave on my iPad for the first time since I woke up. Apparently I passed out reading Pacôme Dadiet’s pre-draft scouting report over at NBA Draft Room.

I stopped posting on Twitter forever ago but can’t seem to delete the app or my 50,000+ tweets bc of all the bangers I’ve liked/RTed over the years. I basically only it for dynasty basketball research reasons, but, while there, I check the temperature of the zeitgeist. (Spoiler: it’s bad.)

There’s no pain quite like waiting to find out if the dynasty 🏀 trade you pitched was accepted. I am one tapped button away from acquiring one of my favourite players (who is objectively awesome) and I am almost nauseous about it.

I just completely tore down one of my dynasty 🏀 teams and now all I do when I have a few hours of spare time (in the wee hours, say) is scout prospects in the 2025 and 2026 drafts and keep up with my newly-acquired prospects playing in the G. True sicko behaviour, yes, but I regret nothing.

Where are the dynasty basketball people (sickos) on micro.blog? I want to chat with people who have opinions on, like, Egor Demin, Nikola Đurišić, and Tidjane Salaün. 🏀
