Yeah 8 to 5 is not that drastic especially with 2024's flat top 5. DET may privately want down a few pegs assuming their target(s) will still be there at #8 with the benefit of slightly cheaper pay scale. Some seconds truly could get it done. Not sure the leverage is there with CHA since...

I hated him all the way up to last year's playoffs. I always kept talking how he doesn't know how to play basketball. But then he made noticable improvements to his defense. Regressed back late on this year, but considering all the family shit he had to deal with, I respect him for even playing....

There's maybe five players at most (Jokic, Embiid, Antetokounmpo, Doncic, Gilgeous-Alexander), who if they play 70+ games, could take just about any roster and likely get them to the playoffs. That's an unfair standard to apply on the rest of the league and leaves out the myriad factors of each...

Why? This isn't a roster that's trying to contend. It's a roster trying to develop their core prospects while being more respectable on the court. Having a weakness that a good team could exploit in a seven-game series doesn't really matter. What matters is in 2026 when the team is actually trying...

That's my TV with the horizontal hold on the fritz, kid.

I hate MPJ, and I think his teammates feel the same way. He’s the definition,of a black hole, and not particularly clutch. Go back and watch that clip where Wemby scores 17 in 3 minutes, and see how many open threes he clanked. He was also the player who got beat by Champagnie for the dunk,...

The Spurs would have a first-level max slot available during that series of moves if they time the transactions correctly and could get a second- or third-level slot if they could include Collins in whatever acquisition. Like they could do Sochan, Collins, CHA25 and CHI25 for George and Zubac ...

I can see it now. With the 4th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, the San Antonio Spurs select… Matas Buzelis from G-League Ignite.

FRPs shouldn't be necessary. That CHA has some value. The CHI miiiiight be on the table. Otherwise the Spurs can give them a gift basket of SRPs. If that doesn't do it, then Charlotte is right there. They don't owe any more FRPs than the one we have, but getting it back gives them control of...

I would love Cade here man, truly, but they’re about to extend him to a max and make him the face of that team as it hits the reset button. I do think there will be a number of teams (PELs said as much) that would sell a late FRP for several future SRPs. Honestly I haven’t been focused on that...

That quote from DET FO saying they would also consider trades at # 5 is a nice development

If SA gets to #4 with Risacher/Castle/Sheppard all still on the board I'm ashamed to admit I would load DET a wheelbarrow full of future FRPs to move up at #5 and double dip two in any combination of Risacher/Castle/Sheppard That would jumpstart the timeline imho

I look forward to the challenge with equal amounts of both anticipation & determination. Let us proceed...

This is the least amazing set of #1 pick options of the millennium, so far. Their owner has showed no inclination to pay the tax, and they just got saddled with a #1 pick that in no way will justify their salary.

Me too. Just checkin' assholes.

Because I’m a swell guy, I’ll give you 5 minutes to delete or edit this post. Or else, everybody here will feed that line back to you in perpetuity whenever you cite something—effectively ending your schtick 5 minutes, tick tock

I'm obviously heavily against the idea of bringing Demar back, but if we were to, we'd need the other forward to be 3-D ready contributor right away. While we're at 3-D obviously really hard to acquire such players these days. Everyone keeps talking about Bridges, but I'd be interested in Cam...

Basically guaranteed one of Risacher/Sarr/Castle/Sheppard and one of Carter/Williams/Salaun/Buzelis without even spending a single dime in future capital or moving a single slot from natural selection position. Can't wait for the draft!

I love the decision to nuke the zips, so joke’s on you again…:lol

I'd want the deal with Detroit in place before picking Sheppard. I value Castle more and want to ensure I get him. As for cost, I do think I'd spend that CHA pick to move if that's what it takes. I really don't see a playoff team for them next year. It's two good Charlotte SRPs and those will...

Williams isn't a bad defender. He lacks strength, but that's basically the one thing on defense DeRozan doesn't lack, and among the few NBA-level skills that seem like they'll be there in year one for Williams is his shooting. But no doubt he's not a ready-made fit.

The French Dairy Hand of the Condemned Old French Whorehouse…that brings back some memories.

They did 3 tits in "Total Recall." Wasn't that enough, Blake?

I really like McCain in that range. Excellent deep threat that 'might' make a starting caliber PG, but would be at least a sniper off the bench if he doesn't.

Just because it's posted on an Internet don't mean it's true.

ZR could keep ATL just good enough to not upgrade the roster better while ultimately not being good enough himself to make them better. Same situation in CHI. Hope the Bulls keep Derozan like I hope Hawks keep Young because the absence in role and salary can be filled with someone who moves the...

You couldn't drag me away.

Yes. Because I can fucking read. Try it.
