Let's look at the Pascal Siakam trade as a gauge of Lauri's value. Siakam, like Lauri, was on an expiring that could not/cannot be extended by the acquiring team, meaning the acquiring team runs the risk of losing the acquired player via UFA. Both players will likely command $40MM/yr plus on...

Yeah no I'm not taking much from a nonlinear differential equation's time series two weeks out.

Misread your post. Jazz might do that deal without Zollins and with the 4 instead of the 8.

That's definitely a landfalling 50-60 MPH tropical storm Alberto and a big time soaker for South Texas.

18Z is 13:00 so 1PM CDT. in honor of summer 2022 Marissa, it's 19:06 in Michigan and Ohio... 18:06 in Texas.

baseline bum

Why is it ridiculous? At 164 he's probably too small to reach 185-190 like Parker did without some major negative consequences. At 176 as a baseline it probably wouldn't have been a problem.

176 is pretty light too and I just thought oh he looks like 2001 draft day Tony Parker levels of smallish when I'd watch Kentucky games.

I just hate when people change their opinion of a player just because of 12lbs, it's ridiculous. As you said, we all saw his actual size and playstyle. I'd argue that it's better that he was at 164 than 176 because he'll have an easier time putting on extra weight without losing speed. Being...

Then it's a good thing no one proposed that.

It's unfortunately that one of those skills isn't shooting, apparently :lol (Aside from Devin and Joel Wiseguy)

We’re not getting Lauri for the 8 and a bad contract. Maybe the 4 & 8 straight up for Lauri but even that feels light given the awfulness of this years draft.

Promises promises

Part of me feels like teams should have been able to look at him and know he wasn't 176. And whether the scale says 176 or 164 or any number in between... it was obvious just looking at him that he was little and his size was going to be an issue. I guess the 164 just didn't really catch me off...

With the leadership changes in DET, I wonder if something like 4 + Keldon for 5 + Ivey could be in play? I'd definitely say this is a little bit of wishful thinking on my part, but you never know when there is a major change in philosophy. Maybe DET like Castle to pair next to Cade and just wants...

Him coming in at only 164 kind of snuck up on us when he was listed 176 all year. 176 as a baseline would have been enough that a couple of years in the weight room could have gotten him to a reasonable starting PG size (6'2" 185-190 lbs). Hard to see him hitting that starting from a base of 164...

I mean, what agents? Are the Spurs telling other agents that they don't want Dillingham? Are they telling agents that they want positional size? Hold the presses, a team wants taller players rather than smaller ones. That's crazy! Put it on the front page. Dillingham is only now starting...

If that happens best to trade the pick to a team that wants Clingan.

Episode 3 was an utter disaster

I find it pretty remarkable that the Mavs made the Finals while having to rely heavily on quite a number of pretty limited players (Gafford, Jones Jr., Green, Lively). Sure, them not having more versatile players has a lot to do with poor asset management in recent years, but still, kudos to them...

I could see it for sure. I dont think it would be that much so it may not be worth it, but if SA likes some non-traditional guys early (Cody Williams I could see, Carter etc…) then it would make sense for SA to move back a spot or two if they can get a heavily protected future first or something.

We know the following things about the Spurs’ draft strategy: 1. They’re in the market for a wing and a point guard 2. They value positional size 3. They like multi-skilled, multi-positional players Therefore, we can deduce that the following combinations are possible: 1. Castle at 4 and...

Can't really claim that from a weather forecast based just on that low pressure area in the southern gulf.

Although it’s tempting to classify this as smokescreen, this might actually be real. It’s not like the Spurs are going around telling agents they don’t like Dillingham, which is extremely unlikely. More likely, they’re telling agents they value positional size, which would rule out Dillingham. ...

The last sentence is key. He won’t ever be big enough to be a plus defender, but he does show effort (at times). Will he understand more complex defensive schemes since he admitted ye didn’t always understand the game plan. Is that laziness or lack of intelligence?

That's the SOB whose son blew his head clean off. "How's that for wet work, huh?"

He's entitled, Winester...he's blood drunk...pulling the rug from neath Biden's son's walk-a-way deal obviously has not sated that old man. Huh? Let us proceed...

I’d argue that every player in the lottery this year is a project sans Carter, Knecht and Clingan. And even in those cases, your hoping that Carter can be more of an initiator than what he’s shown thus far and Clingan can develop a jumper to justify the high selections.
