His play when Dillingham was off the court really puts me at ease. Definitely suggests he was being limited.

I've go no problem with giving the top seeds more of an advantage. I say give them even more of an advantage by letting them pick their opponents every round. Have to incentivize winning in the regular season.

I'm really honing in on Sheppard as the top guy in this draft. The more deep divey I get, the more I'm sold on him. I totally understand the concerns, but on paper he is a mega elite prospect. On paper =/= reality, but in this draft it's enough to put him #1 in my book.

Btw, when Lauri was on the court this season we had an offensive rating that would have been 3rd in the league. Last year it would have been good for 2nd in the league. I promise you Lauri is not the issue :D

Yeah the team we have right now sucks. We don’t suck because we have Lauri lmao. Lauri makes his teammates better. What are you even talking about. There is more than one way to help your teammates. You don’t think his teammates benefit from the spacing and attention he draws off the ball...

The more you talk about how there was not offensive talent, the more you are singing Lauri's praises. If Lauri is the best player on the team, that is not a problem with Lauri. I don't know what your point is. If we can't get a better player, it's Lauri's fault because he's the best? Turns out...

Keep in mind, these are just internet rumors and I may be remembering incorrectly....but Kentucky boosters have a rep of being crazy. One rumor was that the Kentucky alumni created a scheme to involve/seduce Rick Pitino into a sex scandal. I also think one of the boosters offered a highly rated...

Lauri is as good as it gets as an off ball player, it's the reason why he fits on any and every roster. He does not lessen his teammates and the fact that he's able to be so productive without dominant ball handlers is a testament to his ability. Being able to make an impact without needing the...

One year off his contract, he played really well since the start of 2024. I'd say he's in a better spot, does not mean there are the same amount of buyers. But it only takes one.....we were probably the only one last year.

I've been messing around on hoop-explorer.com. Great site, tons of info, janky interface I'm still getting used to. Here's a note on Sheppard with and without Dillingham: With Dilly / Without Dilly Total Possessions: 1401 / 1032 USG Rate: 16.2% / 24.2% AST Rate: 20.8% / 27.2% eFG%: 67.3% /...

Karaban has declared, but keeping the door open on returning to college. Worth a promise? View: https://twitter.com/AlexKaraban/status/1781065819247595728

I would be soooo happy with Sheppard. Could be the next Haliburton IMO. People are too worried about the translation, he's fantastic at the things that matter most.

I actually have inside information. Walker was joking about me with Hardy’s wife and that’s why there’s a rift.

I think this makes sense for TJ's mystery man, but Ainge's "almost guy" is probably a different person and I don't think it's him.

The team was the way it was to start the season because 1) DA is telling the truth and they were expecting "almost guy" to be here or 2) They actually thought they were going to win something even without "almost guy". It was not designed to lose games nor was it capable of being a bottom...

He's just a more sensitive guy. I'm not even saying that to dog on him, he's open about it. He takes things much harder than he should, whether that be losing or poor individual play. He's the only one who mentioned how difficult the losing streak was. He's also the only one who mentioned that...

The thing about Collins is that Hardy doesn't even use his biggest strength. The amount of PnR he gets is about the same as it was later in his ATL days. He was a full time 4 playing next to non shooting C's. As a full time 5 he's still not being used much as a roll man. I could get if Hardy...

Whether there's something there or not, Kessler's playing time indicates that Hardy just doesn't him much as a player. He was not as good as he was his rookie season, but he was still a better player than John Collins this past season and we were 30th in defense. I think almost every coach in...

I would say that your version is not how trades works. It's the highest bidder regardless of the incentive to sell. You're only going to get the discount if there are no other buyers.

Unless you think Towns is in a drastically different place than Rudy or Don when we traded them (you could argue Don was much higher, but Rudy was close and actually got a similar//better package than Don), there really shouldn't be any mystery as to what the cost would be. We have two great...
