You need to think strategically. If you’re the GM, trying to get a player to drop two spots without, say, taking on the worst contract in the league, a couple things have to go right: —You have to piss Philadelphia and Charlotte off enough that they skip your target player in the draft. —You...

He hasn’t worked out with any teams.

Great listen. I thought the smokescreen question at the start was such a smart one. Curious if you guys think Tony has been a target of said smokescreening. Also, I’ll just say I’m pretty convinced that Ainge and Windhorst talk regularly.

If Ace posts a video of himself with a ventilator on a treadmill, looking like the love child of Steve Urkel and Darth Vader, I’ll be very concerned.

You all might think this is ridiculous, but a significant part of me has a hunch that Ace is tanking his draft stock because he has a promise from a team later than 3 in the lottery. “I want to go to a team where I can shoot a lot and be the primary guy offensively” is not a statement you say...

I'm cool with it if Ingles does the media day interview.

You all know my stance. I think the entire thing was rigged, lottery included. I think it's why Nico wasn't fired, I think it's why the entire thing was kept secret, I think it's why the entire thing happened the same month there were national news stories about the NBA's sinking ratings. I...

There is only one story that makes sense out of a bunch of things that didn't make sense before yesterday: --In the two weeks after widespread reporting of the NBA's viewership crisis, Luka is traded without debate or auction to the most popular franchise for very little in return in what's...

My DMs are open if anyone wants to provide a means for me to stress watch in real time with you all.

His girlfriend is in Canada. Promise.

I've always been incredibly skeptical of conspiracy theories, but I still don't find any rational explanation for the Luka trade. The only thing that makes sense to me is the league initiating and mandating the discussions, in the face of declining ratings and revenue. Then, you have LeBron...

Who let you out? We don’t like you, go away. Someone get him back down in his hole.

Seems pretty clear from Ryan’s comments and how hungry Danny has been to keep the Favors pick, we will very likely be tanking again next year. Flagg might change that.

I think this is the plan, more or less, along with tankitis setting in once again. I think it has less to do with getting a top 3 pick in '26 (though that would be great) and more about not coughing up the Favors offload pick, protected 1-8. You can't give up a first round pick like that when...

Maybe. I think Collins is out this summer or at the deadline. Super weird exit interview - it's clear he wants a long-term deal, it's (decently) clear ZanAinge don't want to offer it. Sexton would take a bullet for Danny or Will, sit out all year to recover, and come back smiling. Like Lauri...

Also the Collins interview is super weird.

Yo, Hendricks looks friggin huge. When they said he worked on his body despite the injury I wasn’t expecting him to be well on his way to Malone arms. I’m sure he’ll have some rust, but he might be fun next season.

Don’t think I agree with you on this one. Here’s my sense of how things played out, some based on reporting and others conjecture. The plan was to tank for Wemby, let the hodgepodge play to establish value for trades and collect data for analysis, deal vets at or before the deadline. Then...

I’m so annoyed

Feels gross being nervous and hoping for a loss in a close game, but here we are. Strap in, brother.
