Anyone know his current basketball endeavors? Maybe wait until the start of this upcoming season to see if any team signs him / offers a tryout? Not a word that i can find on the Interweb.

Before seeing your reply I was watching exactly that: lfU8XHOXyPY?si=7S9ZdQUaWH49UX23 This gives me hope, tbh. I know it's high school but if he can go back to that, I could buy into him. Trying to force myself into the Castle hype, it might not be the worst of outcomes to draft him, give...

If you look at the high school tape, he was taking some mid range jumpers and some threes, don't know why it changed last year with uconn...but if he can shoot one year ago, he's capable of finding his rythm next year like the last coupe of weeks with uconn.

For the sake of argument, let’s say the Hawks really want Clingan and the Spurs want Risacher. The Hawks recognize that picking Clingan at #1 is a reach, so they try to trade down with the Spurs to extract more value from their pick. The Spurs recognize this and reason that if the Hawks are...

That sounds a lot better than it really is, tbh. The all-star PG is, arguably, the most flawed star player in the league. One that I don't ever see becoming part of a championship core. And the #1 pick in this year's draft has a Nic Batum type ceiling.

I really feel the Hawks are just floating these rumors to drive up the asking price.

I don't know anything about Jrue's and Butler's college profile. Did they take mid range jumpers? My problem with Castle isn't just that he's a bad 3pt shooter, he doesn't even see the hoop from midrange. He would rather take awkard floaters than taking a wide open 15 footer. I could live with a...

You're not allowed to criticize him because he's playing hurt . . . but it's fine to do so with Davis, Embiid, etc., the latter of which often looks like he's dying during the playoffs and taking years off of his career. This is redundant.

Please cease and desist comparing Marc favorably to Prime MVPau. A pure scam.

I didn't even think of Sochan when TD21 talked about that archetype. I thought of Primo, Wesley, Branham, Dejounte, White. All combo guards with size for the position but without a single elite trait.

The more i think of it the less i think the spurs will trade with the hawks, for example you can't reinforce them with two top ten picks for a risacher. I also don't see a deal where we send back those atlanta picks even for a young.

That's only one net first outgoing plus salary ballast for Trae; ATL 2026 is only a swap. Plus the incoming first is the #1 pick, albeit in a draft without a clear-cut best player. What are the chances that ATL 2025/2026/2027 net you more than Trae and 2024 #1 overall? I think it's actually...

Let's approach this differently whinehole. What do you think is a reasonable annual state and local tax amount per person in order to receive the usual services from the state and local governments? I am asking for a specific dollar amount.

Exactly. Most of them, the hits and the misses, became more or less what the scouting report indicated beforehand. Sure, Scumbag hit a stratosphere offensively no one could have foreseen (though he's probably on the spectrum, which gives him a level of focus, determination and aptitude with...

I think the main concern was that he came in 7 lbs under his listed weight knowing everyone was going to be keyed on this number. Concern is that he will have trouble adding muscle and may not hold up in the pros.

Well, one adjustment is what I said above. Another one could be drawing up some play to get the role players involved early. Stop making everything so Luka centric.

That's the conundrum. Stay, or, go. He'll probably stay with who/what brung him...instead of go=changing direction severely...to stave off elimination tonight. Worry about Game 4 if they win tonight after the victory tonight. That doesn't mean they can't revert back to original factory specs...

If I'm the Mavs I would just stop switching when Luka is involved, so that Tatum and Brown can't go one-on-one against him.

In a normal context, the Constitution reserves the right to regulate interstate commerce, such as seeking healthcare in a for-profit system, to the federal government. Banning the free movement of those seeking products or services in different states sounds inherently unconstitutional, but I'm...

This is cliched, stereotypical nonsense. There's 9-10 rotation players per team; these guys all know the NBA game and each other's tendencies after they've been around for a while. Once you know that, combined with your own strength and weaknesses on your team, cultivating a "system" and "game...

How to adjust further, though? Kyrie needs to hit shots, or no adjustment will change the outcome. It's on Kyrie to play like he's the 1B he was all playoffs long.

Weird to say coming from a Dilly advocate. I have cooled down a bit on Dilly but I still like him and what I see in Bub is the same I see in Dilly (great self creation skills, granted on lesser efficiency) but on a 6'5" body.

It ain't worked. We're done over 63 million Americans since '73 due to tearing babies out of wombs.

He's got you in the wringer, CC. And the bastard does it well. Dumper has never been wrong. Winester? Once, maybe.

Exactly. If we're giving them their picks back, we're enabling them to actually tank with a purpose and rebuild likewise. That's going to cost you Trae Young with the usual salary filler on both sides. Giving them our picks as well is raw on our side.

They're definitely coming for birth control.

I wasn't necessarily advocating for Dillingham, but again, why is team we're not going to skip steps worried about the finish line when they've yet to get out of the starting blocks?

I can't stand him myself, he's a turncoat but he also set up Trump to get his pick of the litter of SC Justices. That was pure wet work by McConnell. All the old man had to do was query one question of each applicant. "Okay, here we go, I got the children waitin' with McDonalds and the Andy...

The irony is not lost on me :lol Normally I just ignore folks, but I actually really value a lot of Mr. Body's thoughts and posts. But the "go kill yourself/everyone who disagrees with me is a moron" sometimes passive-aggressive, sometimes just aggressive-aggressive bipolar episodes that are...
