1. I am COMPLETELY fine with Essesgian transferring. He is a sieve on the defensive end and gets hunted whenever he is on the court. He has one Big Ten level skill (shooting threes).
2. Chuckie is a smart and crafty player. I know he makes very very good money in the NIL so I think he stays. Offensively he is going to need work if he wants to play in the NBA.
There are plenty of players that are ready when they get drafted. Storr is an NBA athelete at least with some potential. The draft being awful this year it may be the time to try it.
If Kolek can play passable defense, he may have a role as a backup point guard. (that is his ceiling)
Yes, he has a great arm and is a good athlete. The team has playoff aspirations and have really great OF options at the moment. He has been brutal when I have seen him this spring.
The effect of rates on the economy can lag so they need to cut probably a little before things are officially worse. The analogy I have seen is it is like steering a large ship.
I am not the one that determines rate cuts but I was just predicting what the fed will end up doing which I believe is two rate cuts.
The fed is supposed to worry about employment and price stability, not the stock market. The stock market does benefit from lower rates however.
The market just keeps going higher and higher. I am even starting to get a little nervous but I am happy that I didn't listen to the vocal bears and have made a killing in the market.
I am of the opinion we will have two rate cuts this year starting with one this summer.
I don't really think they are trying to do a transition year. They could have done that without signing Junis and Sanchez. (Miley for that matter as well)
I am concerned this team does not have enough hitting for guys that play 3B, 2B and DH this season. If you bring in another vet, you can help mitigate this problem.
