Off-season thoughts

But Khamenia is a stretch four so where do his minutes come into play if you get another big ? Coward, Evans and Harris can play the sg/Sf spot . Like stated above what if Wilkins reclasses or Hawthorne commits? Thats a PF or a SF even if both are projected to need time to develope .

Pat/Brown
Cameron/ Khamenia
Coward/Harris
Evans/ Harris
Foster/Cayden

I agree with another ball handler especially without a proven pg on the roster at the college level but to get another big you’re pretty much asking him to come but he won’t see much time . There are like 25 unranked centers still in the portal so why it’s not far fetched , seeing any type of big more then a developmental player type coming ain’t happening imo.

Khamenia can play the 3 or 4. He is similar to Tatum/Ingram/Flagg with his interchangeability at the forward spots.

Off-season thoughts

shey imo Duke would be able to convince the potential big to be a backup to Cameron similar to how Gillis was the backup to Flagg for the majority of the season.

Also, the coaching staff would be able to point out to the transfer the depth chart Duke utilized this past season at the bigs spot with

Flagg
Maluach
Brown
Ngongba

As Chris alluded to another big would be ideal because Brown unfortunately was injury prone last season.

I'm not really thinking of it in political terms, at least not partisan terms. This affects everybody. I have Republicans among my loved ones, too. This feels more like a grassroots awareness campaign.

People understood enough to hold it against President Biden and VP Harris with more complicated factors than tariffs. People might not know what tariffs are, but they know who has been touting them as amazeballs.
It’s gonna be hard to take you seriously going forward if you keep using that word.
Yeh, you know the one.

Well…. if half of Americans don’t know what a tariff is, it might not be the political winner you think. They’re still trying to figure out wtf an oligarchy is.
Once companies start explaining why prices have risen, you think this won’t incriminate Dems at some point? Trump could just accuse Amazon of price gouging. That’s what Joe and Kam would do, what they actually did with food companies.
You’re right in this case it seems to be more straightforward with the tariffs, I concede that point, that with Biden you had Covid, supply chain disruptions, pent up demand once lockdowns were eased,etc. to go along with excessive spending.

Wait. What does this have to do with Dems? This is about private industry informing their customers how tariffs have affected their prices.

Since half of Americans don’t know what a tariff is, Amazon might as well just put a Trump Sux label on their products. This decision would boomerang on Dems very quickly. Who decides if there’s a clear line from policy to price increase? How deep in the woods are Dems willing to go on this?

What's funny is you thinking I was talking about @Th0r.
He read it that way for a reason. He’s continuing to look for ways to sow division.
He wants Th0r to start calling us names like he does so he can play the “ I normally take the high road but these MAGA types are impossible to deal with” card.
What's funny is y'all thinking I really don't know who he was referring to, or that Th0r would be so easily manipulated. I thought it was a funny, obvious joke.

Biden’s 5.5 trillion spending in a short window of time, along with the Fed lowering interest rates were the two main ingredients.
Add in supply chain disruptions to suddenly increased artificial demand.
Inflationary pressure was already building with Trump’s stimulus packages, but Biden’s spending was the nail in the coffin re: inflation. Too much too soon. With normal supply chains it would have likely been mild inflation.
Okay... do you see how much more complicated it would be to spell that out than it is to show the correlation between a X% tariff and an X% price increase?

I'm not worried about it. But it was being discussed on the other board. They can start at the 2 and 3, but they do kind of play the same position.
This 100%. Also, Scheyer didn't bring in another SG, so I don't see the issue with Evans getting feedback. If Scheyer brought in Cedric and another SG, I would be more worried.

Off-season thoughts

When would he play ? Thats my question. Or rather it will be hard to find a center or PF to be third string .
