Imagine going into this thinking that you could do "regime change" only to be strategically outflanked like this. Really great job guys.

"Iran has spurned two messages from Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, seeking a ceasefire as its leaders sense it is not losing the war and the US president is at the minimum feeling the political pressure.

The foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has further said a unilateral declaration from Trump that the US had won the war would not bring an end to the conflict. The implication is that even if the US announced a willingness to end its attacks, Iran might be willing to continue the conflict in some form, or keep its chokehold on shipping seeking to navigate the strait of Hormuz.

Iran believes there can be no end to the conflict until it believes Trump has been shown the economic, political and military cost is so high that it is not worth repeating. It is instead insisting on a permanent deal that includes a US commitment not to attack Iran again."

I just thought of a center, who Shaka recruited at Marquette, and is the leading scorer and rebounder of a mid-major team one step away from the NCAA tournament. He can also step out and hit the three at a 36% clip.

Do you think we should be interested?

Ah yeah.  Forget how fast these years go lol

Yeah, it looks like they realized they could get Hendrickson on a bargain contract and are going that way instead.

You have to at least call Billy Donovan.

Quote from: SchnitzelBoy on Today at 12:20:53 PMI'm hearing on the 247 board that "Shaka is only going after guys he has a relationship with."

I don't think this is true whatsoever.

The Raiders had $100+ million in cap space before trading Crosby.

Quote from: Daniel on Today at 06:26:21 PMTony Crivello should play Al.    I saw him do it in the one man play "McGuire" written by Dick Enberg.  He was terrific  And he's a Marquette grad.  Was in my first Logic class I taught

Quote from: Pakuni on Today at 07:16:08 PMYep, that's the reason Baltimore says they backed out.
But they knew he had knee surgery in January when they traded for him. I think they just got cold feet.

Or they did an MRI and didn't like what they saw.
