Post, Ellis, and Watson.

Fair enough. Love is part of the problem, but I feel like people are overexaggerating the negative effects he's had. He's only played 342 minutes and we're only focusing on those minutes it's missing the forest for the trees.

Is Love a part of the problem? Yes. Is he mostly driving the problem? No. Comparing small chunks of minutes to overall team minutes doesn't quite work that way.

Hardy’s defensive coaching skill is 10/10 on the worry scale for me. We talk endlessly as to whether or not he plays the crappy vets or the crappy young guys, but the real issue is that he sucks as a defensive coach. If we can give him credit for his great offensive system and success we have to...

Shouldn’t be concerned about fit at #1, but Peterson is near perfect. The ability to play on/off the ball is great and I believe him to be the best defender out of the top 3 as well. He’s going to be my #1.

Wizards countering by trying to trade for Trae

I’m still not sure how to assess play vs mid majors compared to play vs real competition. It feels like it should definitely matter, but I haven’t seen much literature on it. There’s was some twitter user who made the argument that BPM drop offs really matter, but I came away unconvinced...

Brutal brutal defensive performance.

Cody = Sick Dunks Only

Hardy with the tanking challenge. Even if he wins that it's not worth it.

Hornets completely dominating the Thunder.

If Key was just regular bad on defense I’d say he’s entering fun max territory. But I’m not ready to say he is until the results get better. We may also have to rethink what a fun max is in the apron era. Everything is being re-evaluated.

They’re not the same, but I think it’s a bit dismissive to believe that one’s market doesn’t say something about the other. Even if you just take their similarity as starting PG’s….not a lot of teams without one in the league. I’m not trying to say one is better than the other, but with...

I don’t think an extension gets done unless Key finds his way into the “fun max” zone, but idk if he can get there with his defense. Key’s team is going to ask for a max, but I don’t think the Ainge’s go there. There’s just a lot of guards available out there too. All have their warts for...

I think they go fairly high and of course they’ll make it as unappetizing as possible. I still think the Jazz match, but the idea of us squeezing him would be hard to believe with LAL, WAS, CHI, and ATL all having cap space. The Jazz better make use of the extra cap space they got because the...

If ATL pulls this off, they are a perfect Kessler destination. ATL is home for Kessler, and Quin knows how to use a drop big. OTOH, I think Trae messes with WAS’s tank. The need to be heavily incentivized or they’re dummies.

#8 for Herb Jones and 4 future unprotected NOP firsts.

If only there were a way to sift through all the lineups and mathematically adjust +\- according the teammates and opponents a player shares the court with.

Getting off of Trae's contract would give ATL max cap space next summer. If they don't get AD, it's hard to find a more logical fit for Kessler than ATL.
