Data easily backs it up. Like...other than right under the basket, show me 2 other places on the court that Sochan shoots at least league average from?

We got 2 of 'em here ourselves. We've nary room. That Mexican Mendoza and the other Mexican Cueare."

Doncic has been a sieve. His go-to on defense is being fat and giving a reach around. Still, the problem is clearly Kyrie. He has played like a ghost. The Mavericks game is reliant upon both of them being able to take over a game simultaneously, forcing doubles that open up the corner 3 and lob.

Crusty Schmarza. Yeah, let me go put some money down on that. Not sure ho long you’ve been here, but this place was founded to get away from him.

Gaddamn can we get the draft already. It's fucking unbearable to adjudicate Sochan for the thousandth time. On one side we have a cadre of morons who hate him for playing out of position even if that wasn't his fault. Then we have another cadre of morons who think at twenty years old he's fully...

Wonder if there is something going on behind the scenes with Dillingham as well. The size issues are real, but it's not like they just snuck up on us... they've been known. I do think other PGs coming on late has an impact, as does his injury and inability to work out for teams, but I'm curious if...

The top 10% already pay 75% of total taxes and the top 50% already pay 97% of total taxes. I know my blended rate of federal taxes last year was 23% and that doesn't count state and local taxes where I am definitely not getting my money's worth.

We will never see his like again, RIP Logo.

...or, "Those dumb asses watched Russia go down in flames in stan after 10 years, but they spent over 20 years in there, losing 13 of their children on the last day. tee, hee."

Bruh, Marc Gasol was a deep second rounder at that point. Don't give me crap about 'everyone knew he was going to be great.' That's fucking bullshit and you know it. He was a throw-in.

It's fine to not want to give up on Sochan and believe he can still be a good player, but it's completely out of touch to think he has much value right now. At the very best case scenario he'd be worth a late first, more likely if a couple of seconds if we were trying to move him. But we aren't...

...so you can give free health care/full ride to millions of Nazi's in Ukraine. Stop fighting everyone else's wars. And quit starting our own wars.

If you’ve ever seen the normal value curve of the NBA draft, you would understand that 4 itself is more valuable than those 3 picks. The odds of pulling a player who will ever make an ASG fall off a cliff after #5.

1800679999835353288 Can't guard, refuses to rotate at all and only has 2 box-outs this entire postseason. Pillsbury doughboy needs to do better, tbh.

Then don't give free health care/full ride to millions of Nazi's in Ukraine for over 2 years and counting. There's a start.

how much is too much?

And yet time and again, through being a GM, coach or even an analyst, have shown that ex-players are often average to terrible basketball minds. Mark Jackson being a perfect example. It's like saying some random move generator with a whole bunch of queens will beat an expert chess player every...

It's got to be more, from everyone, up and down the line. It's extremely unpopular but the right move has been to raise taxes, particularly on large corporations and rich individuals, for approximately a generation (or more) now. It's a shitty situation, paying more taxes, but it's the one...

One of the best ever. RIP

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. Just hard to imagine the Spurs are that in love with Risacher. I don’t doubt that Atlanta is interested in Clingan. I very much doubt that the Spurs would trade 4 and 8 to guarantee they can get Risacher. Spurs would love for ATL or one of these other top 3...

How much is enough?

Sochan in 33 games at PG: 4 assists and 2.1 turnovers. Sochan in 40 games at PF: 2.9 assists, 1.7 turnovers. I don't think his passing was much better, it's just that he wasn't pressured to make more advanced passes. His ast/TO ratio is actually good on paper, but we all know how it actually...

We’re not picking at these positions (9,26,20,11,10,19,29) though, we’re picking at 4 and 8. Not all first rounders are equal. Not all top 10 picks are equal.

I see your point but he isn't a playmaker, at least, not yet and with no clear signs he ever will be one. He's best utilized finishing off someone else's penetration/gravity, IE Wemby just being alive on the same side of the court. If he had a 3 point shot that was at all reliable, I'd say he's...

He's much better at passing when he is a PF than a PG though. It really messed with his head.

Batshit. 1800968160654295063

I really don’t see why Spurs would trade 4 + 8 for 1 tbh…I mean, whatever, if they love someone that much that’s fine, but seems silly on the surface. Just force ATL to take Clingan first or miss out on him. ATL taking Clingan first opens up the path for Risacher to make it to 4 so not sure why SA...

Conservatives typically want all the benefits of taxes, such as having decent roads, rails and airlines, courts and police that work quickly/prosecute every crime, a powerful military, etc without actually having to pay their share of taxes for all of these things.

Sochan missed Wemby for wide open shots - usually dunks - literally dozens of times this season. He's anti-playmaking, at least for the only one on the team that actually matters in terms of how you gauge someone's playmaking skills. The Spurs sucked, in large part, because Sochan is blind and...

It’s not that his injury/lack of workouts is hurting him, it’s that other PGs are coming in strong. Carter and Bub have been getting a lot of buzz, even as they are different players than Dillongham.
