Wemby should have won DPOY this was the last time that someone other than wemby wins it - for the next decade or more- health-permitting Gobert was not better than wemby-period.

After much consternation, I'm going with the guy with a malleable skillset who fills a positional need over the guy with a high bust rate. Ah yes, that minor detail . . . which happens to be the most important skill in the game (especially for role players who aren't rim running centers) and...

It's all very situational. Sometimes you see teams swapping high lottery picks for just a single SRP (like last year with Indiana and Washington, at 7 & 8 respectively), but it's usually when teams are just trying to get a little extra value out of their pick while getting the guy they were...

I love how the prevalent aesthetic norm is to charge nosebleed prices for cheap food.

I don't think he could aim

That diss song by Tupac was epic :lol

I agree about Minnesota. Edwards is prancing around waving to away crowds and acting cocky, but that team is going to run into a financial wall at about 120 mph. Boston is going to crash, too. I don't see how any team can keep it together with this CBA.

yep

Flawed premise. Towns was a run of the mill 1st overall pick, who despite flashing early MVP caliber potential, topped out as an All-NBA caliber one. Wembanyama is the greatest prospect in 20 years, if not ever and appears wells on his way to living up to it, so this is not the typical re-build...

It took over 50 years for the first international player to win MVP. This was Steve Nash, who won two years in a row. To be fair, he's Canadian, so... sorta foreign. He was followed by the second international player, Dirk Nowitzki. The next was Antetokounmpo in 2019. It's now been six years in...

Except you just described Minnesota next year. They are going to face way more problems than Denver. Denver is perfectly set up going forward compared to every other WC team save for OKC. And OKC is just too young to take that next step. If Presti actually invests in a solid vet bench then OKC will...

It's about the principle and I've always applied it both ways for the Warriors, it's just that in their case it's unprecedented good luck and only one notable example of bad luck and even that was helpful in a sense because it allowed them to rest after 5 straight Finals and get a few high picks. ...

I would run with tre jones for another season and look in this draft for decent 3 and d guys.

i would bet my last dollar that -costello- was trumps idea and trump probably ordered that his attorneys put costello on the stand and costello buried trump and made sure trump gets convicted there is ZERO way that trumps dumbshit scared lawyers advised trump to put costello on but they...

You and I both know Trump is above the law

Yes, they have poor depth. This is a function of spending so much on their starters. Coughing up a 20 point lead in a clenching game is partly a function of not having a bag to pull from. Their lack of draft assets will make it harder to replenish their bench, too. Role-players are the key to...

Oh look! Rent free Beta Blake with a stupid comment right on schedule!!!! He just can't help himself. The butthurt is strong with this one!

Popabitch wasted too many years of everyone playing this scrub

I'd take a different target at 4, too, and sweeten the pot for Charlotte at 6. I'm not convinced they're in love with Castle there, or really with any specific player, so moving down to 8 and giving them some SRPs might work.

Not only does Castle project as potentially a phenomenal perimeter defender, his turnaround should be pretty fast. He's not a guy who may take a long time to pick up and understand NBA basketball (ahem, Branham, Wesley). UConn's offense had complex offensive wrinkles, when guys cut, how to...

Someone gave Scoot Henderson a first team all-rookie vote, which should amount to that person having their voting privileges taken away... there's no way any remotely objective or fair person thinks Scoot had one of the best 5 rookie seasons.

Rockets’ beat-writer. I believe it tbh. The more time passes, the more I think Castle might be the pick at 4 if he’s available. 1792952644782215420 I’d be fine with that. Spurs desperately need guys who can defend, and his POA Defense, while already very good, has a chance to be elite. Just...

draft a PG with one of the top two picks, and have them play behind Monk/Tre to develop. branham/wesley shouldnt be owed scholarship minutes anymore. draft 1 wing who can compete with shampenny to be in the rotation with keldon second round picks are going to be banished to the gleague in all...

I don't understand what you're saying. Dude just got his 3rd MVP, what does it matter if he works out or not, if he's that good? How is that cheating? That's kind of like saying Wembanyama is cheating because he's 7' 4'' tall. He didn't have to work for it after all. Unless you were joking or...

if rudy drops back for the lobs, luka and kyrie will have easy middies all day long. if on ball defenders are over aggressive due to rudy covering the lobs, luka will get his defenders in foul trouble super fast. not a good idea. their best bet is to do what the clips and okc did, and drop the...

:lol no one is afraid of limp dick Russia anymore

They don’t take roads lol

In some ways I guess this makes her an expert.
