Ok now you’re trying to get off the hook and jump out of the boat.

What makes you think I’m projecting his development? I’m not projecting anything. You’re putting words into my mouth. I just disagree with your trashing of Collier.

Collier has played in the league for less than three months. And you trash him already. The kid’s been one of the top playmakers in the league since he started getting more minutes. And you trash him. Three, four, five years from now? Who knows. But give me a break.

I'm tired of reading this kind of s***t on this board. Let our rookies and young players breathe. Key and Collier have a lot of stuff to learn, but so do other players their age.

I like it. We’ll never become a contender without good defense and playmaking. Collier has averaged 8.6 assists per game in the last 10 games where he played more than 25 minutes per game. At that pace, he would rank 6th in the league, just ahead of Harden (8.3 AST per game) and behind...

Yeah, real nice prospects coming up in the 2026 draft.

I disagree. We can be unhappy about a solution, cry about it (as people often do), etc., but I don’t think we should criticize whoever put it in place unless we can provide a better solution or tell where to find it. It’s as simple as that—nothing “silly” about it.

Ok you start your post by saying you understand why teams tank, but then you give a lot of reasons why they shouldn’t. What would you do if you were a GM for the Nets, Raptors, Hornets, Wizards, Pelicans, and Jazz (all tanking this season)? What would be your alternative for each team, given...

Damn it, just checked it and CHA lost

Thanks guys. Fun and solid episode from start to finish.

Yes. It looked like Riley initially thought he could keep him. But then Jimmy put on his Sun color shoes.

After reading your post, I wonder if you’ve ever considered that teams choose to pivot and tank when it’s their best or sometimes only reasonable option in their situation to move forward.

I said we shouldn’t criticize the league for the problems (with tanking) unless we can present a better solution than what’s already in place. And you called that “silly” and said it’s ok to identify a problem without giving a solution. You said, “It doesn't take a genius to recognize that...

Yeah, you would think they want to get this thing done as soon as possible.

Lauri hasn’t changed. Just look at how our guards (except Collier) play, and you can see why Lauri’s FG attempts are down. Put Lauri on a team that moves the ball, and he'll shine as before.

Yeah, it’s a problem. But criticizing the league for it is just talk unless you’ve got a solution that’s better than what’s already in place. The issue is complex. And we’d be wrong to think the league hasn’t tried hard to solve it or that they won’t have other cracks at it.

You say you’re not an NBA fan anymore. But that’s how the cookie crumbles in the NBA and has crumbled for a long time. Teams tank to get a shot at drafting top players. As far as “mysterious injuries,” teams use various tactics to tank, but lying about injuries isn’t one of them (or at least it...

You got to be kidding lol

tank battle going down the wire

Collier starting to look better and better out there. Nice to see.
