Patrick Bateman

Because it's more fun to throw bullshit at the wall..... Bill at this age without Brady isn't going to be any better than what we have now. He went all in on Mac Jones and we saw how that went. Brady was the reason for the Pats dynasty, not Bill. I can't imagine Bill would ever want to work for Jerry. And before the Mac attack he wanted to trade Brady for Jimmy Garrapalo. Belly seems to have a type.... young, dreamy and shitty at football. And Belly without Brady is a two time HC loser and DC the rest of his life..... I'm not doubting the guy was a great coach in his time, but he'll be 73 next year. No thanks. The oldest HC to win the NFL championship was George Halas. Yes, that Halas, the guy roaming the sideline winning that championship before the Beatles were a thing in the US. Arians was next and guess who his fucking QB was..... Yea, that guy. Check the schedule..... They beat like 2 teams with winning records. And the AFC East was a joke for most of their run. He shouldn't have to..... Why don't you ask the same of Jerrah?

Insecurities..... The Magic have drafted so poorly throughout the years, they're overpaying a year early to a really good young player to show everyone else but really themselves that they don't suck at this thing called the draft. They even overpaid an broken down J Isaac a few days earlier..... but he is their's!!!

Branham and Champagnie. Maybe Keldon if he's moved. Are you under the impression we're an ultra-talented team who need a season to gel?

It’s as random as Chris Paul. DD has generally been a good soldier and decent mentor, Pop likes him, he may only want a 1 year deal and probably would move on. With this front office, I could see it. Ultimately he probably gets more money elsewhere but I can see this.

Uhm...... lol. They do have Gobert too, but still. This is silly.

Yea, she was pretty good for 3 quarters and almost had the first rookie triple double this season. But she was bad in the 4th. Real bad. 0-3 from the field. 1 rebound, 1 turnover. A missed FT when they were trying to put it away (she did make 3). Not exactly clutch. She'll need to get better in 4th quarters to get to the next level but huge win for the Fever.

and.... Some context for free agency....

Not sure who's still out there but they'll need to make another move to appreciably get better next year. Again, they don't have to be championship contenders but you do want them to push for the playoffs.

Eh..... I mean picks 7 years out aren't really doing much. I guess we save some money, but man the Spurs don't know how to trade.

FTR, I don't think her teammates dislike her either.... but folks can't have it both ways. He team hates her so they don't pass her the ball intentionally and sabotage themselves to the point of losing. And the reason is always..... jealousy!!!! Silliness. These are professionals. Maybe some of that goes on to a degree but her coaches and teammates seem to like or enjoy her fine. She's a wondeful passer. I'd want to play with someone who passes like she does. For whatever the reasons (I think there are several), I don't think she lasts. I admit I don't follow the WNBA coaching carousel so not sure how she's thought of, but I will say while the pace is decent, the WNBA plays an old style of basketball. Very 90's and aughts. Maybe they need their MDA to come in and reimagine the game a bit. Seems like Clark could play an even higher pace. Another thing about Clark. She has great instincts so I expect her to become much better stealing the ball. The women play really loose with the ball. Men do to it seems. That said, she should be playing Euroball when it comes to screening. She moves like 5 feet every time. Good for effort but bad for execution. She's a fantastic passer and her instincts are elite. But, she is loose with her fundamentals (boring!!!). She gets way too many passes into the post or off PNR which are deflected or stolen. She doesn't get great angles when trying to pass in the post. She needs more bounce passes into the post and for pick and pop off screens. She'll learn, but right now a lot of the turnovers are on her. Yes, she's a PG so having a high amount of time with the ball in her hands will add to turnovers, as will her teammates not being used to playing with her (Magic had this issue) and fumbling too many passes, but I'm betting in the tape room, they talk to her about angles, more bounce passes, creating space or passing lanes with leverage to reduce TO's. Still has spectacular vision.

I mean, it was a good game for two sub .500 clubs in the WNBA where every play is below the rim. Expectation wise, it was a good game. Women really have a huge problem with spatial recognition and body dexterity and coordination. It's like a pass from 25 feet or longer is like a fly ball to center field going 425 feet in the sun. It's sort of stunning. And then you wonder why an Olympic coach who has 10 other better players wouldn't necessarily want Clark riding the pine vs Australia. Hmmm..... that is kind of interesting. So her opponents don't like her and now you're saying her own teammates don't like her? Weird. What's the constant in these equations?

He said it right after he got drafted but in reality, I think he understands its a process. Next season, the goal is to get better all around and make the playoffs, even if it's the play-in game. The year after is when you really want to make a move. There's a bunch of interesting scenarios for the Spurs to look at to get better but realistically, they're like 4 players away from being a true contender.

Laettner earned his spot. He was coming off back to back championships championships and swept every major award that year for best player in college basketball. Shaq was certainly the best potential in teh draft and with his size and quickness, easily the best prospect, but a lot of times big potential doesn't refine until they get to the pros. He was 19-20 years old and he was a beast but his teams never really did much in the tourney. They only won 1 conference championship and were just eliminated in the tourney by and Indiana team who didn't have a guy over 6'9". In retrospect it's easy to bag on Laettner because he was a dick on the court and Shaq went on to become an all-time great. I think most folks would say Shaq was going to have the best pro career too, but in college, it wasn't controversial to say Christian was the best player in college, just like Clark was. And there was one college spot because that is what was negotiated between USA basketball in the NCAA, not because anyone thought Laettner was the 12th best player in the USA. They had to pick one.

Someone will say, but arguably the best PG in the WNBA was Chelsea Gray. She is hurt with a foot injury and may not be able to play. This could be Clark's invitation to take but the issue is Arike Agunbolawe who plays guard and for the Dallas Wings is better than Clark and she didn't make it at guard. Mitch.... c'mon. You're better than this. First, Taurasi is an all-time great for the WNBA, basically like the Lebron or Kobe or Bird of the league. If she wants to go, she goes. Second, now look at the metrics that matter.... You know them. PER, WS, WS/48, TS% and while you're at it, look at that TOV%. Oh wow.

Huh? We've already been through this, the salary cap is just an accounting mechanism to try and create equitable spending but it really doesn't account for cash flow or cash spending which is the real cost of doing business. How many times have we watched Roseman of Philly outspend us and somehow get out of owing so much money? Because he understands the rules an can manage the risk a lot better than our dopes. The Jones' ain't poor..... they just spend on their team like they are and then sell the fans on it's the player's who are to blame. Stephen operates like he's a small market team in baseball.... Now, that cash flow will jump in the next 3 years if he does what he's supposed to and pays the big 3. Our front office really sucks at negotiating big contracts and the timing of them.

Fantastic answer. All of it's true. Her time will come. If she improves she may even be a late addition; Chelsea Gray has a foot injury and hasn't played in 9 months. Folks need to take a breath. It's all gonna be okay. She'll get her chances..... maybe some time soon.

Doubtful. Maybe in the teens, but it was only a partial tear and no other ligaments were reported. It's a minimal as you can get. I haven't seen where they decided on surgery. May just be rest, although I doubt it. Most likely a redshirt year.

CeeDee wasn't going to do a deal in April without seeing what the market looked like unless the Cowboys wanted to set the market, which they're really bad at. If you wanted to re-sign him, you could have said last summer before he blew up, but it would have been early. No excuse not to re-sign Dak last summer coming off a statistically okay year, but checking under the hood, he had some bad luck. Now he's coming off a 2nd place MVP season and his market probably went up 10m per. Again, the front office is really bad at contracts, especially big ones....

I think we're getting to the top of the WR market, where more teams just won't play in that space and therefore the top of the market starts to stall, sort of like you saw with RB's. Now, will it be as pronounced as RB's? No. Will you still see some big contracts for guys? Probably. But could you see top % of cap contracts stall out or even recede? I would guess...... yes, slowly. But who knows with the salary cap appreciation. I do not think you'll see the entire position just undercut like RB's were. BUT, remember when the league had moved on from paying RBs, especially those who didn't have elite hands, and it was thought the Rams had set the market, foolishly, with Todd Gurley??? And then a really dumb front office who made a dumb draft pick by picking a RB in the top 10, when 90% of the league wouldn't do that anymore, decided before his contract was up to re-set said market with a really dumb contract? Remember that..... Yea, that Zeke extension was so fucking fun. We're going to pay CeeDee, like we should and have to, and it going to be for a lot of fucking money. Remember, Jerrah's that option quarterback, just wanting to see more cards played..... Ha, ha, ha!!! Fucking moron.

So....... she's Lebron? Or Luka? Or any current NBA player.......

This is good information. I go with Cody personally who could never get in a rhythm because of some freaky injuries, but his stock may be fading a little. I'm not a huge fan of this draft. I use one of these picks for a good young starter or take it and trade into another draft lottery, probably with 8. Sucks because in a good draft, you probably walk away with your core. This draft is trickier and it's easy to see not moving the needle much. Hopefully the Spurs can get it right because the rest of this roster is pretty bad.... really bad. We had 0 guys who on a per minute basis really played winning basketball (TS > .550; PER > 15; WS/48 > .100; VORP > 1.0) besides Wemby. Tre Jones and Vassell were really close so they probably stay unless you get an insane offer on them. Anyone else? Should be eligible to move immediately if it's better for the team L-T. Jeremy Sochan is a losing basketball player as a package. I like some things he does outside the boxscore and in isolation but as a package on the court -- he's not good right now and I would argue it's because the staff has done a really bad job of defining his role. Team still needs playmaking, shooting, and some energy. Hope we can take a major step forward next year. The goal should be the playoffs.

Congratulations to the Mavs and all the Mav fans in this community. Luka's a plain ass stud, but why you no let dat man have a beer..... Boy deserves to drink his beer. Finley, go fucking away.

But remember back in that 16' draft..... we could have gotten Jalen Ramsey instead and followed up with a guy named Derrick Henry in the 2nd..... He's still getting it done okay. This wasa major fuck up. Cowboys were still operating like they were in the 90's, drafting a RB in the first 20 picks. Still fucking up after all these years. So Jerrah and Stephen die in a yachting accident in 2026? Almost there!!!!

Jerry legit thinks he shut everyone up with this draft. He's senile and irrational.... Someone needs to call him on his bullshit but the Dallas media is bought and paid for.
