I smell some “back spasms” in the near future.

Get Svi the heck out of here. I know he’s on a perfect contract but he’s a productive, short-term vet. Exact opposite of a tank commander.

Hendricks sucks.

Didn't read, and probably offering an over-simplified hot-take here. But I would think someone like Walker has a game / skillset where any lingering shoulder issues may be less impactful. As long as he can elevate, reach his arms out, grab rebounds, and shoot within 5 feet, he'll maintain 99% of...

Yeah - I am pretty bullish on him still getting paid, either here or elsewhere. It's a torn labrum. One-time, acute injury that is very repairable. Not like his brain exploded or this is his 3rd straight season-ending injury.

Can't imagine he signs a one-year deal. Somebody will pay him and I bet we will too.

Just for kicks, I asked CoPilot to predict Kessler's extension / FA contract. 1. Current Contract Status Kessler is on a rookie-scale contract, signed after being drafted in 2022. His deal runs through the 2025–26 season, with a team option for that final year. That means: He’s not eligible...

Yeah, if multiple FRPs were in play, probably one we should have pulled the trigger on. But he'll bounce back and I personally would love him with this group in the 4 year $80 million range.

Brutal for Walker Kessler. Maybe a blessing in disguise for (1) retaining him at a lower price and (2) maximizing the tank.

I feel pretty good about 2025-2026 being the last year of the tank campaign. Lauri, Walker, Keyonte, Ace, 2026 #1 pick - at the very minimum - is an exciting young group to try to win with and build around, and doesn't include who we might hit on out of Flip, WCJ, Hendricks, Brice, Cody...

Feel pretty strongly about the unethical tank. If a mega trade comes in for Lauri / Walk dogg, fine. Take it. Otherwise let’s lose as much as we can with this young, fun roster.

Keyonte looks awesome. If he gets one more triple to fall per game all of a sudden he's at 25ppg with efficiency #'s that look much better. His FT rate has been absurd. If he learns how to get to the line, watch out.

If we're .500 I think we go full tank mode at that point. But I think .500 is optimistic.

Keyonte can really go and has a special, aggressive scorers mindset. He’s got an “alpha” streak to him that not everyone has. My concern on him is the efficiency. At some point it just has to improve.

I voted Walt as a homer but I actually think it’ll be Keyonte. Not 100% convinced Key has a much higher ceiling. If Walt reaches his potential as a shooter he could be one of the best in the game.

Tank is back on baby

Wemby is not of this planet. Pretty confident he can’t / won’t stay healthy bc my mind simply cannot compute what it looks like if he does.

Hot take here - NBA Cup is the dumbest thing the League has done in years. Who the F cares. And the courts are an abomination. I turn on a game and it's an NBA Cup game I roll my eyes and turn it off.

Don’t feel strongly about banning sports betting (biased in part because it’s legal here and I enjoy the occasional flutter or emotional hedge). It’s going to happen regardless, my perspective on those things generally is you may as well tax it, regulate it, and create a legitimate economy...

I was speechless watching Wemby last night. What a performance. It's like he impacted every possession on both ends. His skillset at that size simply does not seem possible.
