We went a while back for my 40th.  Only did 3 days.  Stayed at the Venetian.  I was playing video poker and drinking free drinks the first night and didn't realize it was 2 am.  My wife was dead and said we need to go to our room.  I told her I would walk her to the elevator and play some more.  Yeah....that went over well.  I am not much of a gambler...so video poker and black jack is all I do.  It was in August.....a "dry heat".  

yeah I was there end of June in to July. The nice thing is that at that time rooms at the Luxor were only $35 a night. 

I think there was also a heat wave at time. We were having 110-112 degree days.

On the flight home, supposed to be non-stop but the pilot was worried about the plane not being able to take off due to... I guess the air is less dense in that kind of heat? So they said we either have to leave about half of the people off the flight, or we would have to take less fuel and make a stop in St Louis to re-fuel. So that is what we ended up doing.

Never been to Vegas.  Was going to go for my 40th last year but Covid ruined that.  My gf has been 3 times.  I think we may try to go in a year or two.  I like to play poker.

I played poker in the room and Mrs HE came home pregnant with our first little HE.

Went a few years ago and drove out to the Grand Canyon, but really no reason to go back. Just as grimy as Atlantic City but have heard great things about the hiking around the city.

hiking around the city?

Do you mean around, as in the outskirts? Or around, like just walking around throughout the city? The city is not a good place to be walking around. Its slums all throughout just like in AC. And its completely flat.

But Id bet there are good hikes just outside city limits. I was surprised when I was there to see that its surrounded by mountains. I didnt expect that in the desert.

I think at some point this season it’s going to boil over with dame when he realizes his team is likely behind the Lakers, Suns, warriors, jazz, nuggets (even more when murray comes back), Dallas, clippers and potentially even the Grizzlies and playing in the play in game only to get crushed in the first round. 

that sounds very Harden like, even Jimmy Butler like, in how the guy starts the season with his team but then things just continue to get worse.

Difference is, I don't think Dame is the "diva," for lack of a better word, that those guys are. So does he resort to sideline/off the court antics to get his point across the way those guys did? I don't think he does, which just makes this trickle on even longer, I guess until the trade deadline. Which who knows what state our team may be in by then, depending on how truly "upset" Ben is with Doc and Embiid throwing him under the bus. The longer Dame trys to play nice, the more likely it is Ben takes that spoiled brat approach, orchestrated by Rich Paul. Destroying his value.

Yeah! Philly sports!

We're not getting Dame.  The best we can hope for is a bunch of draft pics and mid level starting guard.  You thank Ben and Doc for that.

Sixers are fools if they keep Simmons on the roster until the trade deadline

How would you feel if we got Haliburton or Fox, assuming they are available?

De'Aron fox would be fantastic....but yeah come on.  That isn't happening.  More like Hield and pics.  

 

Haliburton makes sense too.  I would settle for him and some serious draft capital.  What.....I don't know.  I don't follow the NBA.  Only the Summer League

I like the idea of Haliburton paired with Maxey a lot.  So much so that I might even prefer that over Dame.  It's close.

what do you anticipate happens? I have a decent feel for what would happen if Elton and the ownership group were the ones pulling the strings, still. Ben for some of those GSW picks / 1 of those picks + Wiggins would've been done already. Or Harrison Barnes and Buddy Hield and thats it. But I juts don't see Morey selling Ben at a huge loss like this. He's Hinkie Sr. and our slimeball FO is probably starting to realize it... Which again, could lead to something ugly (Ben on the roster still come TC, forcing his hand to show up since he has 4 years remaining).

But... this would not be selling ben for a huge loss. Its selling Ben for what hes actually worth. Soon, we will get less than that.

I have said I think they should have taken the best offer prior to the draft and FA. Could have gotten a vet and a pick for him. This draft last is 2003 level good. If Siakam and 4 was on the table and they didn't take that then Morey is a fool. 

 

Maybe they're hoping that season Ben will show up and look good increasing his stock. People do tend to have a short term memory.

Unless he comes back actually shooting, his stock will never go back up.

I agree. I don't expect that was on the table though. Seems like everyone was coming in with the lowball offers I mentioned. Sorry, can't trade a 25 year old All Star All defense guy with 4 years remaining because of one mental midget playoff series. One playoff series doesn't cut a guy like that's value down to 0. Morey has to approach it in talks that they expect him to bounce back from that.

What I don't think Morey expected, was this grade school tantrum Ben and Klutch are throwing, wanting to be traded to specific CA teams and threatening to not show up if they aren't. That's what's going to make things interesting. 

since i know you ladies love gossip.....

 

[Neubeck] Danny Green says he last spoke to Ben Simmons around Fourth of July, says Ben is not a texting type of guy, and says he’s planning to touch base with him after his upcoming wedding (Danny is the one getting married.)

Maxey redevelopment days he talks to Ben all the time and credits him,  and Thybulle for his defensive improvement. 

It seems Simmons talks to teammates. But probably not talking to Doc or any staff.
