If our roster ends up being Lillard + Lauri + rookie contract guys we are gonna be extremely handicapped in the trade market and adding Kesslers next deal to that also takes us out of 2026 FA. Free Agency may almost be a foregone conclusion but not being able to match salaries in trades is a...

Ngl this is by far the best Cody offseason video. Actually positive.

He got Luka to play defense in 2023-24 playoffs.

You cant live above the 2nd apron. The repeater penalties are rough.. including your draft pick being sent to last every year.

Indy runs the court better than any other team. I sort of underestimated that when I considered their turnover problems (which they had in their previous series as well) vs OKC tendencies to attack the ball. I thought it would be more of a benefit to OKC. Craziest stat combo of the game...

I mean is "tanking practices" a thing? I need tanking experts to make an official statement on this.

That guy finds negative nitpicks regardless, which is why he is breaking forum records like "fastest ever to achieve 50% ignore rate". Sam did mention "vets in the roster" but it was nowhere near the base of his argument. He used that in conjunction with us having "grown-ups in the room", which...

I feel like 25% of the internet already whiffed on their prediction after game 1. The sweep calls were loud and plentiful.

Man I'm amazed at how Indy looked so poorly prepared to face OKC ball pressure. Like if there is anything that pops out of the tape about that Thunder team its that they are relentless in attacking the ball. I'm even more at a loss for words on how OKC managed to not run away with the score in...

NOP or Atlanta will get that pick. Should not be listed in their incoming picks. It was originally traded to NOP unprotected in the Jrue trade. They used it in the DJM trade by giving Atlanta the worst of NOP/MIL pick with additional top 4 protection.

For sure. But I think they will flip the entire roster again before they even consider cutting ties with Hardy.

Its crazy to think what the actual impact of that salary dump has been. And also the DA/JZ FO once said they want to convey that pick in 2024 draft... a plan they ended up cancelling which resulted in us getting Cody. Sheesh..

I think the other way this makes sense is that AA may want to start a culture shift here (also would get good excuse to strip down and tank that way)... so bringing in a guy like Jrue who was won championships with two different teams and who is known to play hard both ways would seem like a...

Thanks. Ive been sort of active-passive here lately and diving into guys one by one so I may have seen that but it didnt register.

It would be nice to not worry about protections.. but that may be a problematic trade to execute with anyone but OKC. Just by the logic of someone trading us a guy who makes us better but then not getting anything in return if we actually become better.

Thompsons couldn't shoot worth a damn. Thats a pretty massive thing to overlook when making such statements.

I would assume Thibs will get HC job within a year if he wants one. He is a culture setter and there are always teams in the NBA who want those guys.

Thanks. I'm also seeing he ranked 5th in all of college basketball for total turnovers. Any chance you can detail where those came from a bit? Was it heavy on passing, getting stripped, travelling, offensive fouling or even across the board?

Do I have to believe Kas can become an on ball creator in the NBA to see his value? Im looking at him vs Kon and I struggle to see where he clearly beats Kon... unless I predict that one can operate as an offensive engine and the other cant. But I dont think either one can.

Will Hardy is AA guy even if he didnt hire him. They used to share office walls in Boston and Austin spoke very highly of him. The way Ryan and DA also talk about him indicates that he is the savior more than any player currently on the roster. I would bet his leash is very long.
