Hollywood Teamsters Remains Opposed to Paramount-Warner Merger: ‘Stop Playing Games’

The plot thickens. Unions sitting on opposite sides of this thing should be interesting… Too bad the billionaires could care less.

I know international acting nominations are harder to come by (and they have been getting better at it), but man, this one still hurts. Probably my favorite that year.

So what's the state of Hollywood for writers right now?

I've been pursuing screenplay writing for a few years now (I've done ok in a few contests here and there), and am at a crucial point in my life where I have to decide to double down and continue or maybe let it go. I know the life is hard and it takes a lot of time and effort (which I am willing to put in), but as we all know, the industry is not in a good place right now in the US. I hear a lot of negative things but that doesn't always paint the full picture. I've read that the strike, although helping in some ways has hurt in other ways. I've read anecdotes of writers who were on shows or even were showrunners(!) and can't get work anymore and had to change careers. I know that writers have always been more concentrated in LA so maybe that work is still in town. Anyway, I'd like to hear from anybody in those circles if it's as bad for writers as for everyone else. Might help me decide whether to continue trying or maybe just revisit my passion later, somewhere down the line.

[Gozlan] The LA Clippers have a path to offer Peyton Watson a 4 year, $116 million deal by frontloading John Collins’ salary in the sign-and-trade with Detroit and using their $9.1M expanded trade exception.

If the Clippers wanted to make Watson an offer sheet, they would have had to renounce the cap holds of all of their top free agents. That would have included Mathurin, Beal, and John Collins, whom they agreed to sign-and-trade to the Pistons. Those cap holds would have been restored if Denver matched the offer sheet, which would then allow the Clippers to re-sign those players using Bird rights. Now the most likely path to acquire Watson would be through a sign-and-trade using Collins’ outgoing amount to Detroit.

For example, let’s say the Pistons frontload Collins’ contract. That would give him a starting salary as high as $17.9 million. The Clippers could then use the $9.1 million expanded trade exception to acquire Watson and start him at a $27 million salary. That would allow them to sign him for up to four years and $116 million. Denver, in return, would likely receive draft equity from the Clippers and create a trade exception worth half of Watson’s salary.

The Clippers are currently $43 million below the luxury tax after re-signing Hachimura with a nearly complete roster. If they sign-and-trade for Watson or another free agent, they will want to preserve enough room to re-sign Mathurin. They are also maintaining cap flexibility for 2027-28 by giving Hachimura a team option, so they may want to structure Mathurin’s next deal similarly.

Maybe I’m late to the party but these things are delicious.

Got them off Amazon on curiosity. They are some of the best cup noodles I’ve had. The veggies and meat are top notch.

I just want to see good basketball

Wherever the chips may fall, whatever the pieces we end up with. Win or lose. All I want to see is some guys that ball out and some good coaching(we can only hope). I’m tired of pulling my hair out and getting depressed watching awful plays and bad basketball. I just want to watch a team that goes hard and balls out. To go to a game and not feel like I wasted my money. That is all. Go Clips!

James Harden in Game 5: 30 points, , 8 rebounds, 6 assists.

It may have not been James Harden’s most efficient shooting night, but he stepped up when the Cavaliers needed him and helped power them to their first road win in these playoffs. He’s heard the analysis about how he chokes in the postseason and this is a good example of how much he can help a team like this with his experience and leadership.

We’re now up 3-2 and have a chance to take the series at home, but we need a complete game from both Harden and Mitchell (who did come up big late in this one) to get it done.
