    Ya, that's tough, bro..I'm from poverty(Harlem before gentrification), my parents never owned a house until I bought one for them 2 years ago..we lived in a ty house with no AC, our car never had AC, etc..the humid nights were the worst..

    I didn't know about real poverty until I began traveling, though..definitely makes you appreciate living in America(and then Canada, which has been even better for me)
    Respect brother.

    Been saving really hard too to pay off my parents mortgage.

    Yeah, North Americans dont know what real poverty..lived in different countries to realize even people in welfare here are lucky as .

    There are North Americans that know real poverty.
    Not everybody gets welfare, no matter how fair it is, or isn't.

    The vast majority that get's the privilege of occasionally posting, or even getting online don't have the time to articulate their struggles enough to make a difference so they just do what they can do.
    Someone from Canada isn't expected to understand, much like someone from the U.S.

    My takes are singular from my experiences. True poverty doesn't know what an internet is. Nor do they care. They care about what they may eat in the next three to four days because they didn't eat today and dinner isn't happening tonight.
    Nor is breakfast tomorrow. And a bathroom would be great if it was within walking distance... - going to have to go here...

    I came from the dirt.
    Always showing off my worth.
    Trying to make a cent.
    Keep my family from being spent.

    How far can I go?
    Doing this from day to day?
    As far I can go.
    The Lord doth say.

    My hard work be well spent.
    Good brothers came and went.
    But I still carried on.
    For my Family stayed strong.

    And now:
    Here I am.
    Better and wiser, I am, a man.
    Stronger than steel, softer than yams (I'm reaching now...)

    So now I say to you,
    Oh brother of mine:
    Let not weakness bleed your heart,
    For if you're still here now,
    You were brave to get past my start.







    Thank you... I'll be here til the alcohol makes me pass out shamelessly on your woman's cleavage and don't forget to tip your waitress.
    I get a ing cut of that ...

    I feel bad for the Mexicans here in (well I want to say El Paso, but really I mean Juarez) this border town whose AC units are simply open windows, hoping for a draft to breeze through when it hits 113 degrees.

    I freaking picked up a homeless dude last year just to get him out of the sun because he was literally passing out on the sidewalk from the heat. Took him to Walmart. Got him some food and some liquids along with a seat in a place with some A/C and made sure he wasn't bugged for a good bit so he could cool down.

    My wife has an Uncle in Juarez that's... man- you don't know real poverty.
    Im from EL Paso too and Juarez is so poor its absolutely terrible its unimaginable. I still have family in Juarez but I haven't visited since the drug war began in 08.

    Don't blame you. Since I moved here, two of my neighbors were beheaded, but that was a few years ago and things have really gotten better since then, but...

    This place still crazy. People in CenTex don't know... And especially people in the friendly confines of Canada.

    Juarez is tough tbh... But you have long calm periods when war drugs is settled is quite safe actually. I'd say it's safer than most of Rio de Janeiro city or São Paulo well unless you are a poor young woman

    Are Spurs signing Martin because Manu isn't 100%?

    Yeah, I'm not going to argue with you on that.
    Things have been calm lately. But there's always something going on here. Always. It just doesn't always erupt enough to gain international news' attention. Much like Rio...
    I saw a guy get shot in the leg three week ago, downtown, from a gunshot across the border (downtown is mere yards from the border fence). No news.

    The university (UTEP) was hit by bullets from across the border AGAIN from stray bullets last weekend. This place is always hopping! I love it!

    Although I admit I'm glad I live in the mountains now.

    There are many teams that could use him and offer him way more PT.
    True. I wouldn't be surprised if he was told that Manu was retiring after this season and he would get plenty of time at the SG and backup 3 positions.

    With a decent future contract promise, to be sure.

    Not saying that is happening, or happened, but it wouldn't surprise me.

    Maybe I don't understand the whole buyout thing. Was that $4million given up just from now until end of this year? Why give up that much money just for 20 something games left?

    Over 7M was in a player option for next season. He's betting he can make up the difference in a new contract this summer.

    Manu is coming back very soon, and he was in good spirits. He actually can afford to take it one game at a time, maybe avoid a B2B, maybe hAve minutes limited while he gets his conditioning up. I think the interest in Martin was independent of Manu based on that Pop interview that mentioned the "tampering".

    If that happens maybe Butler is the man out? You still have Boris to spread the floor as a " medium 4", Anderson, and Bonner when you need a strict 3 of shot I guess. With Martin around you don't need Butler and his deal initially wasn't guaranteed so although it became guaranteed he was not in a super secure situation all season. Bonner should really be the man let go, but the level of attAchment, + Bonners desire to keep playing. I can't see it.

    Mel is correct - think of it like this: Since he gave up 4M this year to play for SA (or whomever) all he has to make next year on a new contract is 4M and he's broken even. And he's out of MINNY now.

    Look, to me, logic dictates that Bonner is the guy cut if Martin comes to SA. Every move made this year was not with an eye on the future, but giving the team the best shot this year. With Bonner's injuries and Butler actually producing it stands to reason that Bonner hasn't proven he can help this year more than Butler.

    If SA keeps with what they have been doing, then logic points to Bonner being gone.
