have you never been to a brazilian steakhouse?

Haha, I do believe I said I'm sacrilegious in that regard. Does Arirang count? It doesn't... I'll see myself out.

In that regard I'm sacrilegious, I have ZERO appreciation for a good steak. Give me a pepper steak/minute steak over some fancy steak any day of the week. Though when you said Waygu I immediately thought of Costco...

I love to cook, but steak is one thing I haven’t mastered. I guess with a bunch of kids you just don’t have the time or budget to splurge on a good steak and do it right.

I do make a great burger. Made a batch of jalapeño relish from peppers that I grew last weekend.

I don't blame ya, with all your kids its tough (my guy is small enough we can still splurge a bit on the good stuff). I have mastered steaks its really the toughest to f*ck up but you got to get good quality meat ( )

I ordered 2 picanha's for my parents anniversery (going to make it with a chimichurri) that is coming up soon and we are having a small get together with my brothers.

I think I need to invest in a nice cast iron pan

yup, I got lucky my mom gave me my grandmothers that she came over to this country with. Well made been through it all but it makes a perfect steak (great sear).

Also making these on the grill, no one needs to be a hero get a wireless meat thermometer. No need to guess

I guess I'ma have to be the one to say it. Having a GM who only engages in transactions with two other GMs is bad for the league. At this point when mulling moves I don't even bother looking at Washinton's roster. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I'd like to see an approval by the Board of Governors (All GMs) when a new GM ultimately takes over the Minnesota Timberwolves (and ultimately Washington - as eventually Robin will get bored with being a farm team for Detroit and trading with Sacramento).

In the NBA, owners approve any transfer of ownership from one to another. I think we should mirror that process here in the best interest of the league.

I think I proposed this to Bish a while ago. He had concerns because simple rule changes take weeks sometimes a month to get enough votes so I understand his concerns. In an ideal world it would be nice for us to decide who comes into the league because a bad GM effects us all. So I would love it but to that point guys just aren't on here like the group of 10 or so that are on all the time. Then we have like 10 occassionals...then we have some that just check in a few times.

we just want a new GM for the Wizards so we can trade for Ingram...

Maybe we should think about weighting the votes of GMs based on activity level. For instance, maybe the most active GMs votes hold more weight, similar to electoral votes from US states.

What was the deal?

[SOUL]

I've only made ONE trade with Robin before this and that was to save me a dollar on a pick (where I moved from 17 to 18) because I thought I wasn't making any more trades and couldn't afford that pick, so whoever was at 17 was getting that trade offer to me.. it happened to be Robin.

This was only the second trade which was him sending me a useless pick (53rd) since I have no picks in this draft and I could maybe stash someone. A month ago he had no open roster spots + 4-5 people on his exempt list + 5 upcoming picks this year which is why he's had more outgoing than incoming.

and while were at it...

I hate to have to mention kf92...but i dont see the consistency...

kf92 please dont take this personally - you still my man...

Kf92 hasnt been around for months- I had a pm siting in my outbox for over two months...
Then all of a sudden Mecca is trading Dame a top 5 player for Ben simmons and I didnt
see the same energy from you or several other gms...

Not fair...

the reality is - Robin put out a post saying that he only wanted to move Wall...many of the gms thought it was funny (go look in the thread). I remember Robin telling me he needed more time because he was waiting for Wall offers- he didnt get any...as soon
as i trade for him - the boston rants began...

You want to do a deal with robin- have patience, be relentless, and make him good offers...

I was offered trash in my last herro offer...Some gms will respond to that and some wont- it is what it is...

Didn't you facilitate that deal in some way, shape, or form tho?

Many of us were vocal about expressing that Mecca won that deal. But that was still not overly controversial as two all-stars changed hands and there's been no seemingly buddy ball between the two parties.

I think the dynamic is different this time around because Robin seems only accessible to four members tops (SOUL, you, NewEra, and Capn'O). Never seen a GM in all my history of BAT/BaF so choosey in who they open PMs/Emails from, or close transactions with.

The running joke is of a blacklist. Only he's not active enough here to even pick up any tendencies or post history to even get anyone on that list. Unless of course, he was advised not to deal with but a select few.

Whatever the case may be, or who defends this GM style, I think it's obvious it's not good for the league.

Two deals done. Where most of us can't even get a PM opened or a email replied to.

I'm not knocking you tho. Just saying it's odd how inaccessible he's chosen to make himself. I know it's your boy and this is no indictment of you. But if the goal is to compete, why not make oneself available to all GMs?

no i did not. newera is just a relentless beast gm- its the truth...

and 2010- im going to keep it funky with you bro...I respect your bbiq so please
stop it bro- you know "No jump shot Ben"- would never be traded for Dame Lillard.
Ben is not a franchise player- Dame is...

I dont want to argue with anyone here but some of you play favorites and dont keep the same energy
with everyone- and guess what- thats not good for the league either.

Patience? I sent PMs and an email inquiring on Lamb like four or more months ago. Still no reply
