Is this a joke offer for Giannis, the absolute minimum the Bucks could get is something like Harper, Castle, filler Or Amen, Sengun And that's the floor. The offer listed here is nowhere close to that floor. "Kessler is a potential all-star" no he is not. "5th pick is star potential" yeah...

Draymond is the most famous example. Was really overweight and carried a huge offensive burden that had him get toasted frequently. Anthony Edwards was pretty abysmal at defense (and everything else honestly) in college. Bam and Jarrett Allen were mediocre defenders in college. Ben Simmons...

I don't really understand the "Utah has the infrastructure for Ace to succeed" because of vets or whatever. 1. Our vets are maybe getting dumped (I would be shocked if Collins and Sexton weren't moved) 2. Our vets are uhhhhhhhhhhh, not the most shining examples of winning players outside of...

Kas is much worse than the guys in the Jazz's tier so I don't support this (Kas basically has no shot creation unless he's hitting wild step back threes, his tools are bad), but I also don't know what stuff the Jazz would even want from these other teams. Maybe 10 and Reed Sheppard for 5 if VJ...

Which players had as bad of a steal rate as Will Riley plus as bad of a block rate and as bad as general defensive performance and turned out well. The returns on Cody Williams after his horrific defensive season in college have not been good and Riley might somehow have been worse on defense...

How do you not understand that now you don't get the one huge discount year where you'd hope Lauri would produce like $26m in excess value.

If you traded for Lauri last year, you got one huge discount year during his prime, which is very attractive. If Ainge had traded Lauri at the 2024 deadline, teams could have gotten two huge discount years, which would have been amazing. If you trade for Lauri now, you get zero discount years...

SMART We gotta find a way to get Miles Bridges involved here too. Then again, Booker is from Michigan so this may not work well.

Yeah, but even then it's still probably him and Maluach (who is again, like a foot taller and 70 pounds heavier than these guys he's absolutely decking on these ball screens) surrounded by great shooters and often this occurs against bench lineups. The ACC tournament was nice, but teams had no...

I mean, OK, but Kon was still playing with a ton of NBA players when Flagg was off the court. Maluach is one of the biggest humans to ever live and he was setting screens that were sending future middle management to the floor for Kon and then Kon gets a free lane while surrounded by tons of...

The Suns thing is so weird, all of their hires are from Michigan State University. Why only hire from your old school, the results have been terrible.

It's absolutely nuts how much better Locked On Hornets is than every other Locked On podcast. Incredible production quality and great voices for radio compared to the others I've seen and the guys seem fairly intelligent and reasonable.

KD is sending out info that he wants to go to the Spurs. Fox+Barnes is a pretty reasonable trade here, but I'm not sure the Spurs can trade Fox as they have likely agreed to a contract extension with him already and he may refuse to extend with the Suns. If they can't include Fox, things get...

19 and Cam Johnson for 9 and RJ Barrett is perfectly reasonable and makes sense.

From Tony Jones https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6399102/2025/06/03/whats-next-for-jazz-after-hiring-austin-ainge-as-president-of-basketball-operations/ 1. Jazz have mostly only worked out second round prospects so far, planning to work out guys around 21 next, and then finally guys in...

That seems semi reasonable I guess.

The Wizards also didn't want Kuzma to be good the last two years. His value went from "two firsts" to "negative value contracts" despite being on tanking teams as teams could tell that he had declined significantly as a player regardless of the tanking. This evaluation ended up being correct...

View: https://bsky.app/profile/andyblarsen.bsky.social/post/3lqqhaau7yp2a Not a very encouraging quote for fans of Tre Johnson and Ace Bailey and very much a quote for VJ and Kon fans. Tre is kind of soft and Ace is very much not a team-first guy. VJ and Kon are very team focused and tough...
