  1. I hope the spurs take the Illinois kid. No way he should have fallen this far.
  2. Can’t believe the kid from Illinois hasn’t been taken yet.
  3. Coward off the board at 11. Fuck. He was my guy. Maybe Queen falls into their lap?
  4. I’m sure Phoenix will do something smart here.
  5. Brooklyn and Toronto pushing better players down to the spurs. This happens every year. Let’s hope they don’t fuck it up this time.
  6. Brooklyn pick is a bit of a shocker. Love his game but he can’t shoot.
  7. NOLA gotta take the center from duke, right?
  8. They look like a Mormon fever dream.
  9. So they put Stephen A on abc and Perkins on espn? Like they couldn’t give us any place to hide? Please tell me that nbc gets to run this shit next year.
  10. First american white player taken number one since Kent Benson in 1977.
  11. This used to be so much better when they showed it on the USA network.
  12. And they still have like $35 million in cap space. More deals to be had. More picks out there to horde.
  13. The Wiz are clearing the decks most likely to take on other bad contracts and accumulate picks from teams that are at or above the apron next summer. Let's see how that works out for the Nets this summer. All those guys in the front office in Washington came from OKC, I believe. This is Sam Presti team building 101. They may be able to turn Olynyk and CJ into more picks as well at the deadline. They can both help contenders. The Wiz front office had the misfortune of starting out with Bradley Beal and his no trade contract that they turned into dogshit while Presti had Paul George that he turned into SGA and every Clippers pick possible.
  14. I just learned that they also signed Corliss Williamson as a coach about a week ago.
  15. FYI.... this is the guy who is given a lot of credit for developing Giannis. Solid move for the Spurs and nice to see them go outside the family for help.
  16. He shot it horribly from three, but he played great defense and hit a ton of mid range shots. He's also their only true big. They need a lot more size up front, even if they do re-sign him. He's also their longest tenured player and seemingly critical to their culture. I would not be surprised if they get him on a team friendly deal. One thing about the Haliburton injury... they got lucky as hell that they traded out their 2025 pick for the return of their 2026 pick. There's no way the Pelicans make that same deal today.
  17. That Pacers team is going down as probably my all time favorite non-Spurs team ever. Just an incredible group, fun as hell to root for and played so many gutsy clutch entertaining games. Absolutely heartbreaking to see it end like that with Haliburton's injury. One of the worst what ifs in recent NBA history. The basketball gods are fickle. As for OKC, I can't stand them but you've got to respect the way they go about their business. You can tell that those dudes really care about each other and care about winning above everything else. I don't like their style of play, SGA's foul baiting, and they get away with murder on defense, but that's on the refs more than them. NBA officiating has always been controversial and I suppose always will be. I'm excited for the draft and this off season. There's going to be a lot of crazy shit happen. We've already seen two huge trades go down before the finals even ended. The apron is looming for a lot of different teams.
  18. Great trade for the Rockets. Phoenix still has a lot of work to do both rebalancing their roster and their cap. But whatever they do, they are most likely still going to suck. Horrible franchise management.
  19. Great deal for the rockets. They didn’t have to give back any of the future suns picks. I don’t know what their cap is going to look like after they re-sign KD but getting off of Green is a win. I’ve always loathed Brooks and his contract isn’t that great either. Unless KD breaks down, that’s a no brainier of a trade.
  20. Yeah, Myles Turner shooting 40% from three during the regular season and then going 5/25 (20%) including 3 out of his last 20 during the finals on almost exclusively wide open looks has been bewildering. Game 7 would be a fairly opportune time for him to break out of his slump. And Chet? Going 2/17 from three is awful too, but he seems to blow a ton of modestly contested layups as well. He's not strong enough to finish in traffic yet.
  21. I can see the parallels, but Denver was an older team with zero bench that had played every other day (including another 7 game series) for like two weeks straight. Denver had the lead in game 7 until Jokic sat at the beginning of the second quarter. From that point, it was all down hill. They completely ran out of gas when things started going south and it snowballed on them. I don't see Indy going out like that. Not with the way everything has gone for them this post season. I think if its tight in the fourth, the refs swallow their whistle and Indy makes enough clutch plays to win. It's probably wish casting, but whatever. Also, Jalen Williams efficiency is key. If he puts up a bad shooting night, then I like the Pacers chances.
  22. She’s tall, athletic, and coordinated but doesn’t seem that good at actually playing basketball. I’d be upset if the spurs got her. Rather them take a chance on a long wing or god forbid someone who could knock down an open three.
  23. @Derka Unless Bailey already has a guarantee from a preferred destination and is sand bagging it to get there, he is looking at a Cam Whitmore style drop.
