agree with smooth here--feel like ainge actually kinda played himself. he waited and offers got worse, and once mitchell was on the table, he had...
i feel like this is pushback against everyone asking for two unprotected picks basically just to spite us. i mean, it's never taken that to move...
so i've had a few hours to process, and i have questions re: the knicks. did they just not want mitchell that much? because imo, this package is...
right. i agree. the story that he can shut stars down is silly. but that's silly about anyone. luka absolutely clowned both kawhi leonard and...
agree with all but the bolded. if the situation is actually so bad that you'll pay a guy 50 million to sit, you trade him for basically anything...
3 unprotected and two swaps is...a lot. and sexton is a poor man's mitchell, and markannen is a useful player. this is almost equal to what we...
you may be right, but that doesn't translate to trades, i don't think. they have no value in trade. this technicality doesn't matter because FA...
i'll stand up on luka's side: i think he's so strong that he has to exaggerate contact to get the refs' attention. i'd argue he should probably...
technically, i'm a bit inland (~2.5 hr drive from the actual coast). but i've liked it here, you know, save for the lakers game situation.
yeah, i live on the east coast, and it's hard enough to watch games even when they're not vomitous.
i think bevs is like the raja bells of the past--billed as some sort of stopper, but his real value is consistent effort, good iq on defense, and...
afaik, picks have no monetary value until the contract is signed by the player. so not even directly after the draft does the player have...
i'm down to facilitate the utah/ny deal if we bring in reddish and don't give up more than one 1st. lots of possible combinations there.
russ/1st for fournier/bogdanovic/reddish is a win for me. satisfies all my requirements for a russ trade. would be a bit concerned that the pg...
no, again, you were right that i got more negative about russ over time. my sense was that you were implying it had gone over the top, and i...
i can't imagine what the russ/bev conversation sounded like (assuming that it actually occurred). i mean, these are two guys that take things...
at this point, rob's best play may be to wait and see if some other team implodes and has a firesale. tends to happen to one team a year. maybe...
guessing it's the two unprotected 1sts that everyone wants. i get it, too. it's objectively an over-ask when you see what others are going for....
yeah, you guys are sort of making my point for me. we've been over the list of players who signed at this money, and it's not impressive. it's...
agree. ball (passing, not dribbling) and player movement just makes for better basketball. but again, i feel like vogel asked russ to do some of...
