Yeah, I have no idea what it would take. I do get the sense at least from the Hornets fanbase that no one is completely in love with a player. What matters, too, is whether they think Portland would take their guy. But if they're split between Clingan or Holland and out on Castle, then they might.

Castle seems the most Spurs like pick, but god I hope he gets a lot better than Sochan if they go that route. Two years in and Sochan's three point shot is still dogshit.

What's the over/under for hours of jury deliberation before they say they're deadlocked?

Probably Risacher is off the board at 4 so it won't be of any practical consequence, but if it does end up being the case and the Spurs want to take both, the best move could be taking Risacher at 4 (would be taken off the board immediately otherwise) while Castle could survive to 8, but you could...

I'm back

Castle and Sheppard would be an awesome draft but Sheppard at 8 seems like a pipe dream when he's considered one of the safe picks this draft. Still wouldn't be too surprised to see him go to Houston at 3 despite the lackluster combine measurements.

I suspect these fools will select Castle either way, but some potentially good news on the Sheppard front, is the Rockets (along with the Warriors and Magic) are rumored to have interest in Beasley. Of course, the pick could also easily be traded, but it would seem if it was it'd be to a team...

Nothing else makes sense. Trump is the only person stupid enough to want Costello to say anything on the stand when the prosecution had an entire year to study his grand jury testimony. Trump must've told Laura Ingraham what he had planned and she tried her best to spin it last night.

dinners as penitence, as conspicuous self-mortification

i've got no problem with castle at #4 in such a draft as this one.

As for Castle, he was never a primary target of mine because I wanted someone who could really shoot and put rim pressure, but after the measurments from the combine came back at 6´5.5" barefoot and 6´9" wingspan, he's legit wing size and could credibly defend 1-3, that coupled with his versatility...

Bobb's name may come up in the docs case, if Trump doesn't end up pardoning himself.

Ghost of Tsushima finally on PC :tu

it's been said that the appointment of Joe Kennedy to be the first SEC secretary was similarly reckoned.

Wemby should have won DPOY this was the last time that someone other than wemby wins it - for the next decade or more- health-permitting Gobert was not better than wemby-period.

After much consternation, I'm going with the guy with a malleable skillset who fills a positional need over the guy with a high bust rate. Ah yes, that minor detail . . . which happens to be the most important skill in the game (especially for role players who aren't rim running centers) and...

It's all very situational. Sometimes you see teams swapping high lottery picks for just a single SRP (like last year with Indiana and Washington, at 7 & 8 respectively), but it's usually when teams are just trying to get a little extra value out of their pick while getting the guy they were...

I love how the prevalent aesthetic norm is to charge nosebleed prices for cheap food.

I don't think he could aim

That diss song by Tupac was epic :lol

I agree about Minnesota. Edwards is prancing around waving to away crowds and acting cocky, but that team is going to run into a financial wall at about 120 mph. Boston is going to crash, too. I don't see how any team can keep it together with this CBA.

yep

Flawed premise. Towns was a run of the mill 1st overall pick, who despite flashing early MVP caliber potential, topped out as an All-NBA caliber one. Wembanyama is the greatest prospect in 20 years, if not ever and appears wells on his way to living up to it, so this is not the typical re-build...

It took over 50 years for the first international player to win MVP. This was Steve Nash, who won two years in a row. To be fair, he's Canadian, so... sorta foreign. He was followed by the second international player, Dirk Nowitzki. The next was Antetokounmpo in 2019. It's now been six years in...

Except you just described Minnesota next year. They are going to face way more problems than Denver. Denver is perfectly set up going forward compared to every other WC team save for OKC. And OKC is just too young to take that next step. If Presti actually invests in a solid vet bench then OKC will...

It's about the principle and I've always applied it both ways for the Warriors, it's just that in their case it's unprecedented good luck and only one notable example of bad luck and even that was helpful in a sense because it allowed them to rest after 5 straight Finals and get a few high picks. ...

I would run with tre jones for another season and look in this draft for decent 3 and d guys.
