That's one of the worst inbounds I've ever seen.

What a full court take by flip!

I'm not an expert on his calls, but as long as he avoid 3 initial players like THT/JHS I trust his judgement

I agree, but tight defensive rotations is funny as we have the 5th worst defensive rating of all-time this year and last year he had the worst of all-time.

Potter is looking impressively bad out there right now, this has been some elite tanking by him

The Lakers have definitely gotten sweet deals, and their success does benefit the league. Still deeply don't believe the lottery is rigged. E&Y's revenue was 5x that of the NBA last year and their business is entirely built on trust and "ethics" (or their own corporate version). The NBA is...

I know we're generally tongue in cheek about rigged lotteries, but just a reminder that all the owners are billionaires and you don't get to cheat billionaires like you do us everyday schmucks. If there was a hint of something fishy and it effects him negatively, Ballmer is arguably richer than...

The Walker rest is definitely slimy, but I get it after the last two years. If Silver does go crazy with punishments out of nowhere, I do think Utah is the kind of franchise to use as a "Missouri Football", so hopefully we have enough deniability, but just saying "rest" on a healthy youngin...

I agree with Kings/Clippers/Warriors, I agree with Kings/clippers/warriors to try and keep Minnesota at #9, but do you still have hope for Suns/Spurs/Blazers? They seem far too far gone. I guess I'd root for Phoenix still to get #10 because they still have some star power to go nuclear and win...

1/2/3 is 14% 4 is 12.5% 5 is 10.5% Always small odds, but if you're willing to spend a year being slimy than the 33% increase in odds for 3rd vs 5th is definitely meaningful But yeah, I get it if he meant that he doesn't care about ending up with #2 vs #5 in actual draft picks. I am over the...

https://www.espn.com/contributor/shams-charania/d3ba246f0da90 Minnesota has gotten a lot of breaks, best case scenario for us is #9, but I think bottom half of play-in is unlikely

If you're resigned to Cooper or bust, I'd get not even caring about 2nd or 3rd with New Orleans, but staying bottom 3 had pretty massive effects on our odds of getting Cooper

Kind of hilarious that Portland may well finish above Phoenix this year. It was always basically zero, but definitely zero chance Minnesota can drop out of the play-ins now, if only NOP/Phoenix didn't have two of the most disasterous seasons I can remember. I think Phoenix bottoming out this...

Great day so far for he tank. Hornets winning is obviously better, but Dallas getting wins is the next best scenario. If the Lakers hold the lead against Minnesota then Dallas and Minny will be tied for 8/9. Minnesota ending up on the outside of the playin would be fantastic.

Great pod, really balanced and intelligent insight from Cy. I have no interest in keeping up with the draft player thread here because it moves too fast so this was nice to have

Damn, this doesn't fit the slender narrative I have of LaMelo in u my mind. Small sample size, but still

The teams were not perfect and the draft was pretty half assed. The weekend was a lot of finger pointing by the crew, but I'm amazed at how little preparation and effort the crew makes besides Ernie and maybe Kenny. Also he's 26 but feels like we've been seeing him on finals and late playoff...

Especially because we could consider a ~30% of either Flagg or Dynbantsa and ~50% of those two plus Boozer if we tank our asses to last place next year. Those are more appealing odds if we strike out bad this year and get good offers for Lauri/Sexton/Collins and decide the current trajectory...

Totally agree and highly highly doubt he stays another year, but NIL has completely changed the game. Before players would be leaving everything on the table. If Dynbantsa can supposedly get multiple millions (I've heard 7 thrown around but don't know), Flagg returning to a really strong Duke...
