If the saying "you need a top 5 player to win a championship" is true then the only valid plan is to get a guy who is/peaks as one. We dont know if its Flagg, Harper or Bailey from this class. Could be all 3 with one being a perennial mvp level guy and the other two having a 2-5 year peak at...

Kilganon is a professional dunker competing in dunk leagues. If the bar is set by those guys who practice dunking as their main craft then its all over for NBA players.

Vern Schillinger at Farmers will take that contract and laugh about it.

You also cannot teach the kids to have "the dog" in them. Physical traits will never trump competitive drive. Thats what all HoFers have in common but not all of them are rare physical specimen.

I dont think there are any reports that indicate a drinking problem on "regular Joe" standards.. but for athletes the standards are different. He has said in the past he likes to relax with a beer and a cigarette, and that he generally loves a good beer. He has also coined "recovery beer" as a...

Embiid is well betond Luka but how did it all start? I'm asking honestly as I wasnt so active at following before 2022. Luka has had lingering injuries for like a year and they have flamed up here and there. Somehow feels like it wont all just magically go away.

I wouldnt rescind it at that price. I mean the main guy going the other way is nicknamed "street clothes".. so even if you are nursing Luka constantly he is still more likely to be able to play than AD.

What? I remember having a conversation with you about this like few years ago. Maybe I just remember it all wrong.

Fish knew. He loves that.

After digesting this trade for few weeks I have ruled out or dismissed all theories except one. Luka has some underlying medical issues that are not going away. I'm thinking something like stress based bone issues which carry a risk that Luka turns into the next Embiid, and which also really...

Yeah he definitely breaks form on that word.

I think that was in the game when he joined Boler and Thurl in the broadcast booth... maybe?

This post contains no insults and is sentenced and constructed so well that I suspect they have replaced you with an AI.

According to some, tanking has hunders of shades. According to others, tanking and rebuilding (in a totally friendly and kind way!) are two different things. I think there is a disconnect in terminology somewhere there. What the Jazz are doing isnt blatant tanking since we just havent skinned...

I'm becoming more and more convinced that @idiot is not who he claims he is......

Man the Lakers are so easy to hate. I was watching their feed from League Pass to get the maximum Luka delirium effect (and for the outlier chance that we spoil his debut). During 2nd quarter Collins was shooting free throws and one of their announcers said "they are getting too many free...

If Grayson Allen was a 7 footer with Lauri's level of athleticism and true 3 level scoring ability then he wouldn't be a 15 million guy. Problem for Grayson though is almost any NBA player can guard him if the team they are playing just decides to shut him down. But teams wont plan for him any...

Except you googled "groin strain"...

Could be. Could also be a long-term risk thing like some fracture where the bone has not healer correctly. Whatever it was Lakers failed him which tells they at least thought the price was wrong (and window being closed, they couldnt renegotiate it).
