    I went back in at 18,000 DOW and 7200 NASDAQ. Pretty much treading water so far. Some are saying it's gonna go down as much as 50% to 15,000 and 4,000. I just figured 38% was pretty good. Didn't need to be greedy. Won on a few things from the stimulus package. Also the banking industry stocks make money on volatility and trading so up or down they make money. I do not move on commodities and would never touch OIL. But at some point energy companies will come back.

    It's important to note that that's not the actual, great and legendary Ariel Helwani. If you look it is "ArielHelvani". I hope Dana White knew that it wasn't the real Ariel.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Rich Paul--the only agent who was forward-thinking enough to put a "paid in event of pandemic" clause in his clients' contracts.

    Neither Dame or CJ is represented by Rich Paul. Sucks for them. Might help the Blazers with their luxury tax though. ;)

    If the salary cap goes down, that will hurt our luxury tax situation.

    I was talking about this season. If the players lose out on, say 10 games worth of pay, that would cut this year’s team salary by about 1/8th. So, instead of 138 million, the salary actually paid this season would be around $121 million. The luxury tax threshold for this year is $132.6 million, and the Blazers would be under that. Assuming I’m understanding this correctly, they would save salary plus tax and would avoid being repeaters next season if they end up above the threshold after off-season moves.

    So we didn't need to trade Skal Labissiere? He will last more years than Swanigan, unless you include skinny-guy injuries.
