Cody is an empty vessel. Nothing burger. Non-factor. Not sure I’ve ever seen a less effective player at any level.

If Keyonte hits the triple he’s a budding All Star. Key - Lauri - Ace will be scary.

Agree with this. He moves really well without the ball. Instinctive cutter + spacer of the floor. He is a gifted and instinctive offensive player.

Ace looks awesome. No chucker instinct on display and his shot looks like butter. His ability to free himself up / create space to get shots off really pops. We've got a few "score-first" minded guys but with the right usage rate he's a 25ppg guy and a super tough cover.

We should roll with: Walt Keyonte Ace Lauri Flip Give up 140/night but it'll be fun!

Just voted 3-7. Nailed it.

He looks like crap, IMO.

I smell some “back spasms” in the near future.

Get Svi the heck out of here. I know he’s on a perfect contract but he’s a productive, short-term vet. Exact opposite of a tank commander.

Hendricks sucks.

Didn't read, and probably offering an over-simplified hot-take here. But I would think someone like Walker has a game / skillset where any lingering shoulder issues may be less impactful. As long as he can elevate, reach his arms out, grab rebounds, and shoot within 5 feet, he'll maintain 99% of...

Yeah - I am pretty bullish on him still getting paid, either here or elsewhere. It's a torn labrum. One-time, acute injury that is very repairable. Not like his brain exploded or this is his 3rd straight season-ending injury.

Can't imagine he signs a one-year deal. Somebody will pay him and I bet we will too.

Just for kicks, I asked CoPilot to predict Kessler's extension / FA contract. 1. Current Contract Status Kessler is on a rookie-scale contract, signed after being drafted in 2022. His deal runs through the 2025–26 season, with a team option for that final year. That means: He’s not eligible...

Yeah, if multiple FRPs were in play, probably one we should have pulled the trigger on. But he'll bounce back and I personally would love him with this group in the 4 year $80 million range.
