Daryl Morey on Paul George signing: It was definitely risky, but it was the best plan
Morey began trade talks on a Harden deal with the LA Clippers by asking for George; he was rebuffed but undeterred. Always a maximalist, Morey lives by a simple approach to team building: get as many great players as possible, CBA constraints be damned. Even Morey concedes now it was unlikely; he puts the initial odds of success at less than 50 percent. “We were taking what we thought was the best plan to keep ourselves in title contention, but it definitely was a risky plan,” Morey told The Athletic. “They don’t always work out, but we felt like all the other plans were worse.” -via New York Times / October 9, 2024

They look better and require less maintenance. Wood fences can weather and look unsightly, plus masonry walls help to block sound. Residents should have a choice of what kind of barriers are put up near their homes. Allowing a variety of materials will be better for aesthetics, and costs may be lower. Masonry walls may be sturdier, but mandating them is problematic.

Harris Plans To Expand Medicare For Home Care Benefits
During her recent appearance on The View, Harris unveiled her plan for Medicare to cover long-term care services provided at home. Current Medicare policies don’t offer coverage for long-term care, leaving many families struggling to manage high expenses associated with home health aides. Medicaid currently covers about 61% of the country's long-term care costs, primarily for patients who are at or near the federal poverty line. Harris's proposal mirrors prior Democratic attempts under the Biden administration to expand long-term services under Medicaid. Despite the challenges, this proposal marks a significant shift toward addressing at-home care needs within Medicare, altering how families may approach long-term caregiving.

VIEWPOINT: Flying — a love-hate relationship
Fast-forward many, many years, and flying has become a way of life for my family and I now. Flying is not “freedom” as the International Air Transport Association used to claim in all its press releases. The experience was so bad that instead of flying AirAsia back to Singapore, I hired a car and driver at my own expense to drive the 4-5 hours back to Singapore. Singapore Airlines on the other hand is the best in my book. Qatar comes in a close second behind Singapore Airlines.

The Purpose of a Point Guard for the Denver Nuggets
What is the purpose of a point guard? For many teams that’s an easy answer, but for the Denver Nuggets the answer to that question is different than most. Trey Alexander, Denver’s two-way signee after he went undrafted this year, has the easiest job in basketball: 4th point guard. The solution to Denver’s point guard situation this year is going to be to lean into wings more. For many teams, the rigors of the point guard position require standard, time-tested solutions.

Bill Plaschke: It's happening again. Dodgers on verge of another ugly October encore.
"We've got to win tomorrow night to then pick up the pieces for Game 5," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. The Padres scored six runs in the second inning against a messy Dodgers defense and that was that. "I think they're making some good pitches. Obviously he had a good Game 1 and was kept somewhat at bay. The Dodgers appeared to lose this instant mojo before the bottom of the second inning even began with that pitch-clock violation, and it only got worse.
