Hippie Idea On How To Win This Election

I was watching Trump give his Cruz gave up dissertation ranting about how much money was spent on negative ads. Well the light in my head went on and think I just figured out how someone can get themselves elected this year. This is not a donkey or pachyderm only idea.

So, what is this earth shattering idea that Donald, Hillary, Cruz, Bernie, or Clooney for that matter could roll out tomorrow. It is simple you call MSNBC, CNBC, FOXNews, ESPN, ABC, PBS, TNT, USA and every other letter tv station and you walk up to the podium and you look at the camera, you take off your jacket, drop the tie, unbutton your dress shirt to reveal a concert t-shirt you actually bought at a concert, you throw on a baseball cap, you pause.

“What the FUCK America!”    are the next words out of your mouth. The censors might be blind sided and FUCK might make it on air or it might get bleeped. Now that everyone watching put down their screen in front of them blocking the tv screen. You look at the camera again and you say

“I ____________ am pledging to match all the negative ad money that any runs with jobs and community improvement programs all across this country to show you the American people that I am actually about fixing things. I will use all of the money that has been pledged to me in this manner. Any super pac that wants to support me can call ___________ to find out how to donate funds to a community project in their home state. These projects will include tiny house projects in all major cities, taco kitchens because who really wants soup this time of the year, free medical screenings, free clothing for school age children, funding for school arts programs, clean water programs, a number of  programs for all of our Vets that proudly served our country and have been left to suffer, and many other programs I haven’t even heard about yet. We have set up a number where you can call to submit a program to receive funds. My team has already reached out to a number of programs and we have already began funding and hiring people for some programs I feel need to be created. Our goal is to use this mass of wealth that people have no problem throwing away on ads to do real good for real people. What do you have to lose? If I lose millions of dollars will have been put back into fixing our country and if I win we can keep crossing things off the fix it list. Thank You and have a great day.”

You do that right there and you win because everyone in the race will have to say what a noble and great idea this is that you have just announced. They will have make programs like these of their own and if they run negative ads they will look horrible. The big money donors will have to give you some money or look horrible. Pretty much everyone but you will look horrible if they don’t get on board and if they get on board they will look like followers not leaders.

So, there it is people if you don’t want Hillary, Trump, or whoever have your checkbooks open and pick your man and due what I have stated above. If you are a billionaire that is shaking his head about the would be choices America is facing then do something to fix the problem because this election thing has obviously gotten away from us.

Looking at you Gates, Koch Brothers, Buffet (Warren & Jimmy), and all of you celebs that want to move out of the country if __________ is elected.

I would do this idea myself but I am poor and too young to run for the office of President but if you happen to take my idea and run with it if you want to build me a nice little house and wave that ole tax thing with some of those funds that would be fine by me.

I think even Francis J. Underwood would approve of this idea. If you are a producer of the show and want to use this idea in the next season of House of Cards feel free to email me a contract with flight details and a pay scale for my writer credit.

 

Nets up to something Bigger than KG & Pierce Maybe?

 

doc-rivers-hugs-paul-pierce-kevin-garnett

Ok, we have all heard the Draft Day Rumor that KG and Paul Pierce could be on their way to the Nets for a package of three 1st round picks, Kim’s Ex, and Gerald Wallace and Toko Shengelia.

This post isn’t about that trade. It is about me having too much time on draft day and coming up with a conspiracy theory that is bigger than this trade.

So, lets review what has happened between now and a few days ago.

Dwight Howard wants out of LA (Lakers that is) & The Lakers won’t trade him to the Clippers.

Dwight at one time was talking he wanted to go to the Nets.

The Clippers have been shopping DeAndre Jordan and Eric Bledsoe in the Doc Rivers deal and in other deals away from the Doc deal the last three weeks.

Doc was traded to the Clippers for a 2015  1st round pick but they can not make a trade with the Celtics for the next year.

Doc wanted to bring KG and Pierce to the Clippers.

Ok, that pretty much sets up this way too complicated trade.

The Nets trade for KG and Pierce who make a bunch of money (27 million or so) and they are old for a bunch of draft picks and bad contracts.

Option 1:

The Nets then offer KG and Pierce to the Clippers for DeAndre (11 mil), Bledsoe (2.6 mil0), Caron Butler (8 mil), and a  pick or two plus another contract, cash, or trade exception whatever it takes to make that work under league rules.

The Nets then get Dwight Howard to agree to come to New York which probably already happened a week ago because that is how the NBA works. The Nets then call the Lakers and say we are getting Dwight you can either get some picks and young good talent for him or let him walk.

The Lakers seeing that they can get Dwight in the East decide to talk trade with the Nets. The Nets then float out several trade scenarios

Option 1: Dwight (20mil or so) and Metta World Peace (7.7 mil) and a second round pick or two for DeAndre (11 mil), Bledsoe (2.6 mil), Brook Lopez (14 mil), MarShon Brooks  (1.2 mil) the picks they got from the Clippers.

Option 2: Dwight (20 mil), Chris Duhon (3.75 mil 1.5 Guaranteed), and Steve Blake (4 mil)  for DeAndre (11 mil), Brook Lopez ( 14 mil) and cash or second round picks.

Option 3: Dwight (20 mil), Chris Duhon (3.75 mil 1.5 Guaranteed), and Steve Blake (4 mil), Metta World Peace (7.7 mil) for DeAndre (11 mil), Brook Lopez (14 mil), MarShon Brooks  (1.2 mil), Bledsoe (2.6 mil), and the picks they got from the Clippers and some cash.

Option 4: Gasol (19 mil) Howard (20 mil) for DeAndre (11 mil), Brook Lopez (14 mil), MarShon Brooks  (1.2 mil), Bledsoe (2.6 mil), Caron Butler (8mil) and the picks they got from the Clippers and some cash

Option 5: Dwight (20 mil), Chris Duhon (3.75 mil 1.5 Guaranteed), and Steve Blake (4 mil) for DeAndre (11 mil),  MarShon Brooks  (1.2 mil), Bledsoe (2.6 mil), Caron Butler (8mil) and the picks they got from the Clippers and some cash

Trade plan 2

Option 1: The Nets do a wink-wink deal with Pierce and the Clippers buying him out for the 5 million he is due allowing him to go to the Clippers. The Nets then trade KG for DeAndre, Bledsoe, and a trade exception , a pick, and some cash.

The Nets then get Dwight Howard to agree to come to New York which probably already happened a week ago because that is how the NBA works. The Nets then call the Lakers and say we are getting Dwight you can either get some picks and young good talent for him or let him walk.

The Lakers seeing that they can get Dwight in the East decide to talk trade with the Nets. The Nets then float out several trade scenarios

Dwight Howard (20 mil) for DeAndre (11 mil),  MarShon Brooks  (1.2 mil), Bledsoe (2.6 mil), some cash, a pick or two and the trade exception from Clippers trade.

I don’t anyone in the NBA is creative enough to be able to something like this off but I think it could work. I am not an expert on the salaries but at first glance it looks to work.

I would rather have Bledsoe and Jordan than Dwight Howard but I am not the Nets. They want the big star to go with the other guys so there is a chance something really big could be in the works.

If I am the Lakers and I can get Bledsoe to replace Nash in a year and get Jordan to be my new big. I like the deal. LeBron James isn’t coming to the Lakers in 2014 so, why not get two young guys to help Kobe when he comes back. The team could amnesty Metta if he isn’t traded and could look to trade Gasol.

I personally like

Option 3: Dwight (20 mil), Chris Duhon (3.75 mil 1.5 Guaranteed), and Steve Blake (4 mil), Metta World Peace (7.7 mil) for DeAndre (11 mil), Brook Lopez (14 mil), MarShon Brooks  (1.2 mil), Bledsoe (2.6 mil), and the picks they got from the Clippers and some cash.

The Lakers are taking back the contract of Lopez in this deal but I think the fact that they are getting Metta, Duhon, and Blake off the books is a bigger deal than adding money with Lopez. The four players the Lakers would get back are all young and talented. If they deiced to keep all of them ok but if they decide not to all four can be easily traded.
