i think the only sign of real tanking is that byron still has a job. it doesn't mean they're trying to lose, but it does mean that they're not...
^lol. really, though--do they not have people overseeing these decisions? focus groups? you're telling me that not a single person in the chain...
I think I said that a few pages back, too. LeBron's physical profile and athleticism were a level above simmons'. sometimes simmons reminds me...
I think you noted the main issue--space for three maxes isn't that valuable when a) most teams have space for one and several will have near two,...
he's not taking that option...unless he gets hurt. word today is that he wanted to go to Milwaukee, but he refused to pick up his option as part...
how gritty is beno? I mean, he's European, which is kiiiinda like huertas...
tbh, all the Clarkson trade scenarios are basically impossible anyway, so it's really discussion of relative value. you keep mentioning jaylen...
I underestimated both towns and Russell, but especially towns. I didn't see how smoothly he'd translate and wondered if he'd be a 4 or 5....
well, I'd have to look at the salary list, but I'm pretty sure the lakers could snag three players on big ending deals and eat up most of that...
obviously too early to speculate, but if it's the #3 pick, I may consider tossing in randle, too. lakers need an allstar, badly. Russell would...
eh, sometimes "pass first" is just a nice way of saying someone can't shoot. this may be the case here. Russell's a much more gifted passer,...
so...relevant to other threads...Clarkson/top 3 pick for irving, maybe in three-way trade in the summer? I'm in. you can play irving and...
even thabeet wasn't waived that early, right? Kwame--and even darko-had mildly productive, near decade-long careers. same with olowokandi....
oh, I think that writing is on the wall. his max is quite large. he'll get more than 20 per, though, and he'll have several suitors at that...
man, if that pick is gone this summer, it's hard to justify anything but the full-on tank next year. tough to swallow, but true. seriously, if...
I wanted okafor before the draft, and he's looked about as I expected. but i'll trust the FO and the whispers about his investment in the game....
the thread's going off track, but I think trading the rights to #3 brings back a lot more than the 5-6 million in FA that you have otherwise. a...
you may be right. there's only a few teams that would offer him max (not even sure if the lakers are one), and of those, la is the most desirable...
longevity is part of all-time greatness, imo. if curry keeps this up for another six or seven years, he'll rightfully ascend the ladder, perhaps...
depends on how much of a debacle FA is. if it's like last year, i expect something akin to phx-level tanking. but not philly, as theirs is part...
