but for a rebuilding team, I just don't know how you justify giving up multiple picks. A duo of Acuff and Duren would be a nice start, but we're going to need multiple good young players to build out the roster. We can't do that without draft picks. What's the plan if we trade away 3 or more picks? we're doomed to barely be a play in team forever.

They wanted Zach Lavine before. why not just swap? Jalen would be a great piece to build a team besides Acuff

Can't say Kingston without KINGS!

Looking more and more like the front office has chosen Wagler

then we're left to pick between all of the point guards. we still feeling Acuff if they're all on the board??

My wife and I, late thirties, began OCIA in February. We bring our two children, 10 and 2 years old. We began going to mass November of 2025. There are many things I love about the Catholic Church, and I can't imagine going back to a protestant church, but the complete lack of child care or support for parents has gotten to us. it's been a slow and steady erosion of all inspiration to keep going.

We can't get our toddler through even a few minutes or mass without hysterics. We can't get him to behave well enough even in the narthex so we spend a lot of mass outside the church Our ten year old has been problematic as well. And then we have two hours of OCIA after mass. It's a nightmare to manage. We can't afford to hire babysitters every Sunday so we can go to church alone. And I feel that we are just becoming a nuisance for everyone else in OCIA. My kids genuinely behaved great at protestant churches. They loved the children's programs and my ten year old even sat well through regular service.

and on top of that, our Deacon won't get back to me about finishing up annulment paperwork for a previous civil marriage so it's becoming less likely we can even be confirmed by next Easter at this point.

I'm just stressed right now and venting I suppose. But I'm not sure if we are going to see this through. we have no family close by. We don't know any other Catholics. It's just been incredibly hard.

give me your reasoning for why anyone would take Wagler, Flemings, MBJ before Acuff? I'm just not seeing it. the defense argument is going to be null and void come draft day. GMs want upside that high in the draft. Acuff is the ultimate upside. I think we will have to trade up to the fifth pick minimum to get Acuff.

If you're following this story and reading the tea leaves you can see a master plan unfolding.

Recently $SEGG announced that they've partnered with Polymarket. Polymarket for the first time ever is doing a partnership and platform integration with another company. This company is SEGG. SEGG, formerly lottery.com, is now under a new interem CEO as of last December. They have the domain name to sports.com.

They will be launching this sports predictive market platform together in the next couple of weeks just in time to promote for the world cup which is the perfect storm to unleash this new product to the world.

I don't know if you're playing attention to regular sports betting companies but they're getting crushed by reduced margins and slow growth as predictive markets continue to get preferential treatment by the government. almost every big player like $DKNG and $FLUT are down huge on the year because people have moved to polymarket and Kalshi.

SEGG teaming up with polymarket to create sports.com is HUGE. people don't only prefer predictive market interference, they also have less hurdles to go through to trade on these platforms.

a door is legitimately opening up here for polymarket and SEGG to become the global leaders in sports betting through this new platform if the perfect storm of marketing and engagement happens during the world cup. and even if they don't overtake the old giants, they can at least carve out a very lucrative niche.

SEGG currently has a marketcap of 17 million or so. SEGG announced they would share fees from the platform with Polymarket, but the official fee split structure hasn't been announced yet. Even if SEGG takes a small cut, any level of real success for the platform should be a huge catalyst for the company.

Eventually this could end up as a polymarket buyout even, though I'd prefer they stay separate companies for continued upside.

by luck I bought some shares under a dollar today right at open today, but I am going to be adding more tomorrow at any price.

this is not financial advice but I'm stoked on the potential.
