History does not matter at all for this years draw. Thats gamblers fallacy.

Well 4-8 covers 5 teams. Collectively they got 45.5% chance for #1, which is more than 3x the chance we have at landing there. But you cant finish the season covering all the positions from 4 to 8, can you? Fact is we are in THE BEST position to draft high. Period. Doesnt mean its likely we...

I just see the ball getting high and loose too often... hence the concern. Its not about beating the defender, its about having small moments when I feel like the dribble doesnt stay compact and he either bounces it too high or it gets too far from his body. I think seeing Amen Thompson slide...

Watching some tape and I'm getting a bit worried about Ace's handles. How common it is that guys his size develop solid handles after college?

After rewatching that I came out laughing. 1. Celtics had a timeout remaining, but apparently Mazzula doesnt have a 10 second play that guarantees them a good shot? 2. The Jayson Tatum search dribble was probably the least working thing they had going for them all 4th quarter 3. The play ended...

In a place called "bender".

I am not a huge fan of Jayson Tatum being your best player. That meltdown at the end wasnt even about Knicks shooting well. They outscored C's by 11 in the last 6 minutes while shooting just 2 of 8 from three in that stretch. Celtics best players just couldnt buy a single bucket when their life...

Said everyone about Podz as well. He was also undersized, unlike Kon. BBIQ beats athleticism when it comes to guaranteeing NBA careers.... but you really need both for the high end outcome unless you are an extraordinary individual like Jokic. Thats why people bet on athleticism and then after...

I think this is 100% fair and if anyone sees this as hate they are dumb. Hardy is unproven in the playoffs and scheming (and adjusting) in a playoff series is different from sceheming for regular season success. I think those two are very factual statements.

Hardy hate in this thread is wild. The man has overperformed when the team is trying to win, and he has overperformed when the team is trying to lose. Looking at either of his first 2 seasons as a whole is piss poor analysis since both seasons were so clearly split in "let them play" and...

Nothing screams intentional tanking quite like extending your coach right after finishing dead last. What makes this ironic is that it happens in the same year when Jenkins and Malone got fired minutes before the playoffs started. Im happy we invested in Hardy though.

Your thought that "chip on shoulder" is 80s thing is just a statement about your age. It was not invented in the 80s nor is it less appealing to any younger generations who didnt grow up watching Rocky movies. You may have gotten tired of it personally because Hollywood spammed you with that...

Dude lmao Barkley even whined about Reddicks plan of constantly doubling Ant after game 3. I noted it in game 1 and said so much in the playoff thread.

They doubled Edwards all series long. Slowing him down was Reddicks big plan from the start and he never really changed it despite Reid and McDaniels cashing in on open 3s all series. The difference in G5 was that Lebron was the tallest player Lakers played all game apart from 5 Maxi Kleber...

Problem in your ranking is you bet on "floor" for Ace, but I dont think you bet on "floor" on all the prospects you put above him. Even projecting to his floor Ace is still long and athletic guy who can shoot some... so warm body off the bench at the least. Average 23rd guy in a redraft is an...

They would probably trade that pick back to us pretty cheap. I mean they may already be counting it as a near zero asset, so getting something out of it would be nice for Presti.

I think the second line is the key. I suspect more than one team would be willing to give up blue chip prospects to get him. OKC could give up Jalen or Chet with the logic that they cant afford their team in the long term with Giannis, SGA and both of those two in the roster.

I'm sure in the 2022 offseason you were here crying wolf on "how this team with their best player being Lauri Markkanen is way too good to tank". The "proper tank" in the Wemby draft was ruined in the first few weeks of that season by a team that wildly outperformed all expectations. Then the...

Bolerjack and Thurl are still there.

Btw does anyone know how the 2nd apron draft pick penalty wotks if you have traded picks? The rule in Article VII says that if you pass the 2nd apron and the stay there for 2 of the next 4 years your first round draft pick gets pushed to the end of the first round. That rule took effect this...
