Will Hardy has always been able to speak incredibly well but I still have some doubts. The meritocracy stuff rings a bit hollow with how he has played the lineup the last couple of years. He also needs to figure out how to get the most out of our guys defensively. We cannot constantly be bottom...

Expectations should be reasonable. If Key, Collier, and Brice become impact neutral players; That would be a big step for them. Expecting any more is just setting yourself up for disappointment. Sexton had his deficiencies, but he was also an incredibly efficient offensive guard. It's probably...

I'll try and be positive here. Keyonte has a good bit of athleticism that I hope can be channeled into the defensive end and getting to the rim more. He has a great knack for foul drawing so any improvements in efficiency should be geared towards utilizing his athleticism to get to the rim more...

Perhaps. It's easy to look back in hindsight and see where the peak value was but it's more difficult in the moment. Then again, that's why the front office gets paid the big bucks. They are supposed to be able to figure out the right moves at the right time. Austin Ainge is more willing to take...

A bit premature to stamp him as a bad player. Is it because of the age? He could be decent.

It's a bit too early for me to get into the 2026 class. I want to see how the team looks this season before I start diving deep into the next class. Who knows, we might not have a first this year.

Does that take up the whole exception or does it just subtract from it? Not quite sure how trade exceptions work, if someone more knowledgeable could weigh in.

I don't understand. Didn't we just sign RJ Luis Jr.? How are we getting 2 2nds for him? A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

But who is going to space? Fox, Harper, and Castle are all subpar shooters and Carter Bryant didn't inspire any confidence with his offensive game either. It seems obvious to me that it won't work out unless those 3 drastically improve as shooters. And Harper didn't strike me as all that good of...

Fox is a decent player but there is no way he is worth this much.

Fox signs a huge extension: View: https://bsky.app/profile/mikeascotto.bsky.social/post/3lvluyplgac2e

Ace at the 2 sounds interesting. Would give him some on ball reps. His handle looks ok enough and the size would be insane as a 2. Think he is fluid enough to do it, I just don't know how much on ball experience he has. I don't know if this works basketball wise but: Clayton - Ace - Hendricks-...

Horrible game for Tonje. Can't do anything right today.

Just rough shooting from everyone except Cody.

Jeez, that was a rough half.
