I doubt Porter Jr. will be the sacrificial lamb to cure their tax/depth issues, it'll probably be Caldwell-Pope (if they can convince Gary Harris to return for the taxpayer MLE of $5.1M), maybe packaging draft capital to get a team with cap space to take Nnaji or possibly Jackson and then seeing if...

Was there ever any player who was in a similar situation as Wemby who got an All-NBA nod?

It's no secret I want Dillingham. I take him there, as he's my priority and to make sure Detroit doesn't get him. Then as I suggest, at least in this scenario, jumping up to grab Castle at 6.

Who are you sweetening the pot for to basically get your guy at 4? (As opposed to just taking Castle there)

my issue with castle is i just dont know what you're getting out of him offensively. jumper aside, he's not sudden athlete. doesnt get up very high. doesnt have burst off the dribble. doesnt have great handles. doesnt really have a midrange game (has good touch in the paint, floaters, etc). makes...

This team is worse offensively than defensively, will always be above average at the latter with Wembanyama on the floor and yet after nearly a decade of continuing to lag behind the league in 3-point shooting and lacking a primary play maker, somehow people want to continue to stock this team with...

yes, it was all over Fox propaganda channel…several of their propagandists did a “costello has the goods on cohen” and trump ate that shit up and ordered his crack team of cult lawyers to fall for it… costello basically took the focus off of cohen and reminded the jury that costello and rudee...

Stephon Castle vs. Anthony Black in terms of college stats. https://www.tankathon.com/players/compare?players=stephon-castle--anthony-black Pretty comparable, tbh. Black went sixth last year and I think Castle could have pushed him there.

Yeah, I have no idea what it would take. I do get the sense at least from the Hornets fanbase that no one is completely in love with a player. What matters, too, is whether they think Portland would take their guy. But if they're split between Clingan or Holland and out on Castle, then they might.

Castle seems the most Spurs like pick, but god I hope he gets a lot better than Sochan if they go that route. Two years in and Sochan's three point shot is still dogshit.

What's the over/under for hours of jury deliberation before they say they're deadlocked?

Probably Risacher is off the board at 4 so it won't be of any practical consequence, but if it does end up being the case and the Spurs want to take both, the best move could be taking Risacher at 4 (would be taken off the board immediately otherwise) while Castle could survive to 8, but you could...

I'm back

Castle and Sheppard would be an awesome draft but Sheppard at 8 seems like a pipe dream when he's considered one of the safe picks this draft. Still wouldn't be too surprised to see him go to Houston at 3 despite the lackluster combine measurements.

I suspect these fools will select Castle either way, but some potentially good news on the Sheppard front, is the Rockets (along with the Warriors and Magic) are rumored to have interest in Beasley. Of course, the pick could also easily be traded, but it would seem if it was it'd be to a team...

Nothing else makes sense. Trump is the only person stupid enough to want Costello to say anything on the stand when the prosecution had an entire year to study his grand jury testimony. Trump must've told Laura Ingraham what he had planned and she tried her best to spin it last night.

dinners as penitence, as conspicuous self-mortification

i've got no problem with castle at #4 in such a draft as this one.

As for Castle, he was never a primary target of mine because I wanted someone who could really shoot and put rim pressure, but after the measurments from the combine came back at 6´5.5" barefoot and 6´9" wingspan, he's legit wing size and could credibly defend 1-3, that coupled with his versatility...

Bobb's name may come up in the docs case, if Trump doesn't end up pardoning himself.

Ghost of Tsushima finally on PC :tu

it's been said that the appointment of Joe Kennedy to be the first SEC secretary was similarly reckoned.

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.
