  1. My AU buddy seems to think they are getting Vandy as a permanent to counterbalance Alabama and Georgia. In the alternative I guess they get LSU, in which case, ouch.
  2. OU and Arkansas have such little history compared to A&M and Arkansas, I don’t really understand the rationale there. A&M and OU at least have Big 12 overlap, but I’m guessing A&M throws a fit to avoid that.
  3. It’s painfully obvious it should be Texas: OU, Ark, A&M A&M: Texas, Ark, LSU Ark: Texas, A&M, LSU OU: Texas, Missouri, who gives a shit
  4. Interior defensive line needs to be priority 1, 2 and 3. Hitting the SEC in 2024 with what we have in the pipeline behind Sweat, Collins and Broughton is no bueno unless multiple guys dramatically out perform their ranking.
  5. Great rec. I picked up a few and these have been my winter rotation. Easy free and quick delivery to New York too. Why Dubarry instead of C&J?
  6. McCabe and Mrs. Miller
  7. Passing on Wagner was insane at the time, and even crazier in retrospect.
  8. Turning the 2nd pick into 5 seconds in less than three years is not great, Bob. Of course taking Kuminga over Wagner was even worse (even at the time). A championship takes the sting off two whiffs I suppose.
  9. Exactly one poster said he was washed, and that was called out as a stupid take. Everyone else has said he’s a supremely talented shit head, which hasn’t changed. It has everything to do with basketball, because availability and desire to play actually matters when the goal is winning a championship.
  10. Definitely seems like a role worth 30% of your cap and 4 first round picks (3 of which are unprotected). A winning recipe to be sure.
  11. An unprotected first for a losing player like Russell seems crazy, especially since it doesn’t make them competitive in the west. Like what’s the point? But maybe they just desperately needed to rid themselves of Russ. Edit: just saw it’s got some protections, so that helps.
  12. 100% this. FM is incredible. The Square is good. Triangle of Sadness is boring and has nothing of interest to say.
  13. And then 12 months later he forced a trade to Boston. And then the next season he had a season ending injury. And then the next season he quit on the Celtics during a 4-1 ass kicking. And then the next season he had a season ending injury. And then the next season he missed the final 3 games of the 7 games series against Milwaukee. And then the next season he opted to quit on his team rather than being vaccinated, although he was reliable enough to make it back for a 4 game sweep by the Celtics. And then this season he was suspended and forced another trade. This is such a laughably asinine take on Kyrie’s “problem” I assume even you don’t believe it. KD and Harden must have telepathically blown up all of his other seasons. No, Kyrie’s problem is of the deeply personal variety. Look at that, you finally stumbled on the right conclusion. Whether Kyrie has top 10 talent in his body isn’t even a debate worth having. He will flame out here like everywhere else.
  14. Yes everyone remembers MJ famously backing down the shorter, skinnier John Stockton time and time again for the And 1, right? No, because that didn’t happen. MJ would get his, Steph would get his, Durant would get his. That’s what happens when you are a Top 15 player of all time. But more often than not the Warriors’ are worth 3 and the Bulls’ are worth 2.
  15. Do the Bulls get the benefit of analytics, or is Phil Jackson rolling out the (now) antiquated triangle, forcing touches to Bill Cartwright, etc? No definitive answer to this question, largely due to the time gap. Both teams are fucking incredible. If you dropped both teams in a gym playing their same game plan, I give Warriors an edge under either rule sets. But the Bulls have MJ, so who knows.
  16. To your point, there are probably 30 players Cuban would immediately trade Kyrie for if given the opportunity. And it’s Cuban, so he’d probably throw in a couple unprotected firsts, too.
  17. Ah, now it all makes sense. You don’t actually watch NBA games.
  18. Jesus fucking Christ. Kyrie is nowhere near a top 5 player, even ignoring his complete and total unreliability. Kyrie hasn’t had a “fine” 18 months straight since he left Cleveland. I’m sure it will be different this time.
  19. His most strongly held belief is entering into a contract to be paid millions to play basketball, and then finding some ridiculously asinine reason not to play basketball.
  20. Just for the record, this is going to be a complete fucking disaster. Kyrie is a piece of shit and the most unreliable person in professional sports. He’s never had a stint end well. Not once. You people saying you love this move are completely delusional. This is a desperate move by a desperate organization that will fail. The absolute best case scenario is that Luka appreciates the willingness to be aggressive but the Mavs use the cap space in the off-season to upgrade the roster while sending Kyrie packing to his next idiotic team. The worst case scenario is giving him any amount of money or contract beyond this year. Impossible to cheer for a guy who is this much of a cancer.
  21. True. If Kyrie bolts/quits and Luka demands a trade, just like that the Mavs become a smoking pile of shit just like the Spurs!
  22. Desperately trying to dramatically improve a deadlocked roster so that their once in a generation star doesn’t demand a trade in the next 2 years. I don’t think it will work, because Kyrie is just that much of a shithead, but I understand the logic.
