You apparently know like I know, poker is strategy and not math. I'm not sure why fabbs brought math strategy into a poker conversation.
You know like I know that seeing that straight draw or flush draw and forcing someone to fold is much more sound than holding on to those pocket aces. At the...
You don't. It's a rookie mistake thinking you are going to hit on the flop or the river. I would let the flop fall and if nothing looks promising I would fold.
If Castle is the pick at 4 then so be it. I feel like Shepperd is the better pick because the Spurs badly need shooting, but both of them provide things that the team needs.
Vecenie in his latest mock does this:
Sarr
Clingan
Reed
And then with his guest they wind up hashing out a trade with Detroit, moving up from 8. They wind up trading the best of the ATL/SAS picks on 2027 protected 1-7. Not sure what capital it would require but okay.
Risacher
Castle
Not going to happen, but LeBron finishing his career here would be the best thing to ever happen to the Spurs outside of their lottery luck with robinson, Duncan and Wemby
Pretty much. Washington could go Castle but I don't think that's the right pick.
And I would not be surprised for even a second if the Spurs pick Castle over Risacher. Castle is 100% the player you want here.
Just get rid of the league. The NBA has enough issues without dealing with a bunch of angry knuckle draggers because token white girl is making more money than them. But you and I know they can't do that. The women who don't even watch basketball would come out of the woodworks crying foul.
When did this allegedly happen?
Cleveland I are you seriously holding it against Lebron for leaving shithole Cleveland who oh by the way he took to their 1st Finals ever for Miami?
Miami Boshs health took a turn and it was always going to be a 4 year gig. Ok for other people to take their...
yeah id be shocked if Risacher falls to 4, however I can 100% see the Wizards taking Clingan. they've been pretty much signaling they want center BADLY for a long time.
To the point where there was legit ideas if the Spurs won the lottery, of flipping that to them for Avdija
nah Simmons is connected, hes predicted a lot of stuff thats come true.
if he references "what im hearing" its never something he makes up.
You may not like Simmons, which whatever, but hes got solid sources, as does Russillo
Vecnie on his pod today pretty much sums up my thoughts on the Pistons "With Langdon, we have no idea what they're doing" which is true, we really haven't heard what his vision, or his thoughts on the team etc.
at least to be fair I haven't seen that.
Cause of death unknown or rather not released to public yet.
Listened to a few of her songs and she has a nice voice it seems. I say seems because heavy studio effect additions.
But she seemed to submit to this baboon Gucci Mane, and here she is spewing the Wrap moronicy of I Gots Moneys etc:
If you want to argue the whole "building relationships, getting buy-in" angle (though we're not privy to that), I'd be more amendable to that then the notion that one's "system" or X's and O's acumen is some sort of difference maker.
That's nonsense. These guys are all well versed in that stuff...
Doyle Branson info got outdated since he wrote his book.
That having been said, imo it's still true his comment that generally speaking "It seems like pocket Aces are good for two things, either winning a small pot or losing a big one."
Tyler Rucker of No Cielings in a spaces on Sunday afternoon pretty much said "If I were a Spurs fan, id get comfortable with Castle at 4, with what im hearing"
the tea leaves have been reading that way for a while now, and Id personally be shocked, if Castle isn't the pick at 4
Basing decisions on the '24 draft on the '25 one is fools gold, especially with an overly conservative, rigid organization like this.
Bird in the hand.
My thoughts exactly. Avoid Castle at all costs . . . I knew you'd see it my way.
