Secret to being a good development coach = Having good prospects.

Carr was 9-11 with 4 blocks vs some bums today.

Looks like Herro is getting blamed for the Heat's gimmick offense no longer working. Is Pat gonna do something before he retires? Or is he just going to fake it the rest of the way?

Quick thoughts on some potential 5-8 guys: Koa Peat: I need to watch him play especially on defense. If he's an elite defensive guy I could maybe buy into it, but besides his passing I'm not super excited about him. Hannes: Might be a generational rebounder. Rebounding is back in fashion, so I...

Amari Allen on Alabama has some interesting numbers. Good stocks + assists for a wing. He's someone to watch. Also...are we paying enough to Philon's production right now? 30/4/8/2 per 40 on 65% TS and 40% 3FG%.

I had previously stated that the 5-8 range was looking very strong, but that group has really been slumping and only Flemings is really standing out. I'm sure I'll go back and forth about this a lot, but what's certain to me is the top 4 this year is amazing. All star or better is median for all...

It matters as much as it did for SAS, OKC, CLE, TOR, DET, HOU, ORL etc. It ends when you get good players, and it doesn't matter how you get those good players. If you hate tanking because of the principle and/or because it sucks to watch, I respect that. If you think there is an actual...

The less we do now, the uglier it will be at the end of the season. If the basketball gods exist, they do not care about playing TH and Cody lol. Did everyone forget that we traded Sexton and Collins for basically nothing this summer? And those were Nepo's best moves.

I do remember watching some kind of “mic’d” up video of him playing in HS. He was making me cringe with some diva behavior so I understand the comment. But at the end of the day it doesn’t matter much if he’s this talented.

There are some spreadsheet question marks on AJ….but he freaking amazing on film. He’s gonna be a star.

If we're working under the assumptions that 1) we don't love Kessler and 2) we're not concerned about our own pick....I think it actually makes a lot of sense. You would also have to believe in Mathurin. He is balling out this year, but maybe not enough to crack the closing 5 lineup on IND...

If Nepo is serious about not caring about the pick.....I'm just saying a lot of things align in wrt "this could happen" even if it shouldn't happen. I could see it happen in the off season as well, but it could be trickier due to BYC+Apron rules. IND could make it happen, but it becomes a bit...

I think Mathurin+Protected pick is where it gets interesting. The asking price from the Lakers was reported to be Reaves+2 picks, but this was before Reaves blew up. I think IND could create a similar level package with Mathurin and for all the Jazz stubborness I think they might accept...

In 26 games it will be even more clear that this IND pick isn't premium. Like I said, the more I think about it the less likely it sounds. If there is a Pacers trade, I don't think it will be based around their 2026 draft pick. IMO, it's more likely to be centered on Mathurin for Kessler. Both...

If you have the Pacers pick, Carlisle is just gonna clean up in mickey mouse march when there are tanking teams who own their picks. It helps the Jazz and their own tanking situation....but you're not moving Walker Kessler just to eliminate one tank contender. The pick is not bad, but it's not...
