Official Utah/Minnesota/Philadelphia Pick Watch

[Eddie Zero]

If the Jazz think that Dick has versatility and can playmake, then he becomes a pretty obvious pick at 9 or 10, imo.

He is a long term play imo and not worth it at 9 unless they absolutely are locked into the current back court of THT JC Sexton and Agbaji. I don't see that being very likely.
Now if you think Dick can be our starting sg in the vein of a Klay no handles Thompson that plays elite defense. Sure I can buy that.
Grady playing elite defense seems like a risky bet imo. I have him as a specialist like Joe Harris and thats it

That's right. The Bulls owe the pick to Orlando if they don't move up.

I do think the Bulls are resting everyone since they cannot improve their position in the play in, and cannot lose their spot either, so I guess they might figure a small % chance to move up would be worth tanking this game but its not like they wont beat the Pistons in their last game or that the Mavs wont beat the Spurs lol

A team losing on purpose to miss the play in is a really bad look

Yep but they really cannot make the play in now without help anyway right? I get what they are doing, but either way they F'd

What is the record for points in a quarter?

Does Cuban come on court and start tripping guys if they are up?

Why even let him play one quarter? WTF is that?

Should NBA prevent protections on picks to curb tanking a bit?

Dallas is a full **** show. They double and triple down on stupid. Luka gone in 18 months.

Think about this summer... they either max Kyrie out or he bounces. Then they have what to fill out the rest of the roster? If Kyrie signs a max deal you have the most unpredictable bipolar star in the league and are subject to his whims.

Good luck Mavs.

I mean, that's the Jazz too, they just got started earlier.

imo, no.

I'm on the they-should-radically-change-the-lottery bandwagon. Have much flatter odds.

Man, this Mavs **** wreaks. Making the play-in is plausible. They have to win out, but they only have to beat a fully load-managed Bulls and the Spurs while the Thunder have to beat a Memphis team that could still be playing for seeding.

The Mavs also have the potential to catch us if we win out and they lose out, though it seems Lord Ainge is done leaving any **** like that to chance. Wish he would’ve earlier but oh well.

imo, no.

Make it so there is virtually no perceived benefit from tanking vis-a-vis team building through other methods.

Its Slovenia Night so Luka wants to play... they give him 1 quarter and show they *** on the night they are on display for their star's country!!!!


I swear Michael Scott runs the Mavs.
