Thx for commenting! Yes, it seems like I’ve been OOTL regarding star players and the Summer League

@asparagus9001

Thx for commenting! Yes I’ve seen the video, and I agree that the “slap” was blown out of proportion. The reason I brought it up was primarily to draw attention to the fact that Wemby has bodyguards in the first place. That seems so odd to me, but maybe lots of rookies get bodyguards? I understand taking precautions to prevent injury in a player at high risk, but are bodyguards really needed for that?

And I agree with your assessment for him sitting out of Summer League. I was unaware of his French league schedule, but trying to prevent injuries for as long as possible with the guy who will potentially be the new face of the franchise makes sense.

In terms of downside, I tend to worry about how all these new players will adjust to such a different lifestyle from the ones they used to lead. While this might not be the case for Wemby since he was already playing professionally in the French league, but to go from high school hooper to college star to NBA fame, with all these expectations of carrying a franchise or being a breakout star—that can be a lot of pressure for any 19-20 year old.

Ohhh I didn’t even think about the fouling as a factor! And I imagine given his proportions, there’s concern of serious injury with the excessive body contact. Perhaps the plan is for him to spend the time bulking up so that he’s more durable in the regular season?

@Barns

Ahh ok, I see. So it seems to be primarily an issue of his longevity in the league given his proportions. That makes sense, thx!

I’m a fan of this

That’s why a lot of people are suspicious that the quote is out of context or out of order. And it looks like the full quote explains that he likes LA bc he can be close to home and compete for a championship

@sam

Lovely! I have a golden pothos that I also love to death. She’s dramatic as hell but always bounces back

@doctortofu
Well let your wife know that y’all have a gorgeous little garden!! I love the variety in there. Ofc we all love our plants equally, but if you HAD to pick a favorite—which one would you say? ;)

At this rate, I’m pretty excited to see this Mavs teams in action next season. I feel like they’re having a great offseason

oh my gosh it’s so pretty! How are philodendrons as plants? They look lovely but I’m curious if they’re challenging plants

@hemmes maybe the wrong place for this, but is there a way to save posts on kbin/lemmy? Would love to hold onto this infographic for future reference

Do you mind me asking what type of succulent you have? But for a fixed interval, I would say watering every 4 weeks should be safe. And when you water, you can pour the water over the top of the soil (like you would with a watering can or squeeze bottle) OR you can do “bottom watering” wherein the plant is placed in bowl/bucket full of water for like 45-60 minutes. With bottom watering, the idea is that the plant takes up the water it needs and because the water is beneath the pot, the roots grow downward.

For top watering, a good rule of thumb is to water the plant until you see water run out of the drainage hole at the bottom. For bottom watering, you stop when the top soil is damp.

Whichever way you water, make sure to let the excess water drip out of the bottom of the pot. You don’t want to leave the plant sitting in water—that can lead to the roots rotting and the plant will die.

I’ll include a link to a vid about watering techniques because I know it was confusing to me. Best of luck OP!
