Imagine if OKC pushed for the play-in instead of drafting Chet.

Part of me hopes that if Austin effs this up that we somehow get into the first round against OKC and they can see just how far away they are. That would be a public execution.

Agreed... but it also shows they weren't fully convinced on Key at that point. I think Austin likely had a pretty good first draft. I would have loved to see what happens if Ace goes top 4 though because I doubt we were drafting Kon. Seemed like Tre or Fears.

So my thought is partially that the FO is somewhat fractured in their thoughts and that is part of the reasons we are noncommittal to certain things. I also have been through transition planning with nepo kids and fathers and its like really rough. Kids trying to prove they can be better than...

So here's the deal. I have been to the more reliable part of the Best Buy parking lot. Baby Ainge is the problem. He claims to be like "pick, no pick maybe we just say eff it and ball". Danny thinks he's crazy. Based on the draft opinions they had... they don't see eye-to-eye all the time. Danny...

They will need someone to bite. Its not the guy he is... its the money he will want this offseason and his level of commitment if you don't give in. The trade offers could be low unless a dumb team (chicago fits) gets involved. I do agree. Any good guard play they get will be huge. Vuc is also...

I can't be held responsible for the takes I will have when we sign Pat Spencer this offseason. We need to get a piece of the Spencer household.

I mean I had people telling me they will definitely be better than us and AD is as durable as a wet napkin.

All I’ve been saying. Also Dallas without AD is *** and I told y’all.

Has the switch been flipped?

Not sure why Dallas is still a 1.5 pt favorite.

AD out... only Cody can save us.

He had the rib thing which is normally something that only gets better with rest obviously. I wonder if that is part of the reason. Get a longer break? Or the Ainge's got the memo and are soft launching some rest stuff. He did get into it with a fan over the weekend which was a little wild...

Do the Ainges want to tank? Do they seen things eye to eye? And how bad do they want to tank? I think Will would play along if they asked. But absent an ask his job is to win so... I don't blame him.

Yes but they were one I wasn't super worried about since their pick goes elsewhere. Clips should pass us. NOP may depend on if we lose all 3 of our back half of the season matchups with them. They may make a late surge. I think Wash, Bkn, NOP, Charlotte may be tough to beat out. Indiana...

The issue I have with the logic is that many pushing the "we need to play the vets so we have a good development environment" are also the same as the "you really think Svi/Love/Anderson/Nurk help us win lolz?" group. I think you really gotta pick one narrative of those two. If the vets help a...

Yeah I kinda factor that in. He has to do more on his own than he did that season. I think he's got more stuff in the bag now. I know he doesn't have a bag per se but I think you know what I mean. He was a legit positive on defense in his first season imo. Now I think he's bad most nights. I...

It feels like every year there are at least 2 teams that join the tank race through injury or just slow start. It was what gave me pause when some were like "we won17 games last year... we will be awful... who is worse than us?" All the teams we thought would suck do suck. And the a few teams...

I think so. If you discard the defense. His first year here he was a better two way player but I think this is the best he's been offensively. There is however like one forced shot per game that I would love for him to eliminate at some point. Its usually a rushed three off a screen that hits...

I don't even think its too later per se. I just think it has to happen now to get to an ideal range. I don't have a name for it but I am finalizing an analogy that will likely be dropped on a pod... a lot of the stuff fits.
