Same old cowboy.

What's your take on the draft then? I won't lie, I'm kind of getting less and less hyped with each passing day. :lol The only realistic targets that should be solid NBA players even if they don't live up to their potential are Castle and Sheppard. One is a secondary playmaker without range....

Stop whining!

Are we wiling to say that Garland (or Trae Young) is a good player? Compare Garland and Trae Young (and Tre Jones for a measuring stick) https://www.boxscoregeeks.com/players/compare?utf8=%E2%9C%93&player_ids%5B%5D=3538&player_ids%5B%5D=3368&player_ids%5B%5D=4186&season=2023

salaun going 6 or 7 would save us from ourselves tbh

MPJ is an elite level shooter when factoring in his height/release and movement shooting thats more than salaun's shot "stabilizing"

i dont think charlotte make a conscious decision to injure Lamelo and Mark Williams

Derrick Rose was an MVP before the injury. He was a quality back up afterwards. Lonzo Ball isn't starting from MVP-caliber.

The reason I brought up Ball was not to compare the injuries (as of posting, we still didn’t know what Topic’s injury was, severity etc. (that too has to be a red flag)), but the chain of events that lead to where Lonzo Ball is today. Doctors, Agents, Organisation Key Personnel, Family etc. ...

I see nothing in their respective skillsets that would lead me to compare Salaun to MPJ, it sounds like wishful thinking to me. Honestly, Patrick Baldwin Jr would have made a much more believable MPJ candidate. I think you're talking yourself into Salaun by using flawed logic. It goes something...

Watch this actually happen though after rumors of the Hornets and Blazers seriously considering him at 6 & 7 :lol

Wasting a lottery pick on a point guard that can’t shoot or defend and has a torn ACL is not something I imagine even the most incompetent front office would

With #8, would be great. You bank on his high feel and bbiq.

I thought it was the opposite for acls? Even a partial tear means a major surgery. Isn’t that what happened to Kawhi?

Twas Fall of 2020 the last time a major Laker scam was completed. When will be the next? They are due. 1307179633826242560

The Spurs aren't challenging for a championship in '25 or '26, so if they liked Topic pre-injury I don't see why this would affect drafting him at #8. Considering the Spurs are taking the long view as a 22 win team, I don't think this changes the outlook for the 2026 roster looking a certain way,...

Is it possible to trade back to Atlanta their pick but make it a top 3 protected?

Trading Cleveland Tre Jones (a better fit than Garland) to play with Donovan Mitchell then getting Keldon to fill their 3 slot seems to make sense to me. Also trading them #4 or #8 which could get them a PG prospect like Dillingham or Sheppard to be the future starter with Donovan. Malaki Branham...

Spurs use #4 + #8 to move up to #1 and pick Salaun. Book it. :pctoss:vomit: #reversejinx

Lol

unfortunately this is the issue that has come up across sports as internet/social media/24 hour news cycle has led to big national names dominating coverage. the days of local beat writers getting better intel than national reporters are already all but gone. instead, if you want to get scoops,...

Givony really deserves to be call out on this one. There was a Serbian article, that presented all the details of his injury and said that a surgery was highly likely. Givony decided to ignore it and just posted all the BS coming from his agent. And he is doing it again in his latest article...

I made a long post in ideal offseason topic, short version would be something like: Trade Keldon, Tre, return '26 swap and '27 pick for DJ. Trade Collins, #8 Spurs '24, '25 Chicago and two more FRPs for Markkanen. (If he's 100% committed to staying.) Sign Monk to be the 6th man and a cheap...

We all need to mentally prepare for the prospect of Salaun as the 4th pick. Nightmare scenario indeed

I just don’t agree with this line of thinking. I realize these are purely hypothetical numbers but let’s just say a guy has a 5% chance at becoming an all-star and 95% chance of being out of the league in 3 years. Another guy has a 70% chance of being a solid role player (20-25 mpg, positive...

why cherry picking your stats to hate on the guy? You could also said he shot 7/16 (43%) on his last 3 games vs. Monaco, a top Euroleague team. Risacher just add two bad outings on 3 in this POs (not the last 2 games as you stated) and you chose to isolate them witihin his last 5 games to try...

Hell, Effy, we didn't even know she existed 24 hours ago.

Maybe MPJ if his shot stabilizes? His median outcomes aren’t good, but I’d rather draft him than someone who has an archetype available to sign in FA or his summer.
