  1. Padilla doesn’t look pretty in old lady makeup. Shocker. Yep she’s a real dog.
  2. The vet minimum market is pretty robust at the moment. If you can sell minutes and a path to another contract, there are quality players to be had.
  3. Locked On Rockets think they’re all in on FVV, Amen, and Reed being the primary ball handlers with some Holliday minutes. I’d argue that Holliday can barely dribble.
  4. Ashley Padilla is the best looking cast member, and it’s not very close. Gardner’s face is aging oddly. Go back and watch some previous seasons.
  5. Trent Jr got what he got because he can’t play defense. Ty Jerome would have been a nice piece at SG. No argument there. DFS was so expensive because he’s a really good defender, and a 41% 3 point shooter. I believe the Lakers were 14-5 in games he started. Obviously that record is skewed because of the Luka acquisition, but it provides some insight on how important he was to them. I think there was a way to sign DFS, Capela and Jerome. I wish they had gone that direction.
  6. Spurs just offered Harrison Barnes and a training table for Giannis.
  7. What’s a good return for Whitmore? He almost certainly has requested a trade.
  8. Laravia might my favorite non Rocket now. Those are the thirstiest Instagram DM’s I have ever seen.
  9. I believe their ratings were insane for a non Netflix streaming only show + it’s Taylor Sheridan. They’ll do as many seasons as they want.
  10. This. Giannis doesn’t want to leave. The Bucks gave him a shot, remained loyal to him, and gave him literally everything he’s wanted short of putting all of his brothers on the roster. I think Giannis also understands the Bucks are screwed next season, but they’ll have some options in 2026 when Dame’s contract is expiring.
  11. I’ll agree with BOB15 here. Bron could have opted out, and signed a 2 year deal like Harden. This would have freed up enough money for them to sign a real center. Other than the look at me aspect, I don’t understand his motivations.
  12. I mean the Bucks aren’t going to do better than Alpi and the Suns+Nets+Mavs picks. The Spurs will refuse to include Lavell in the deal.
  13. The Suns are probably going to sign Chris Paul and they’re working towards super maxing Booker. I’m speechless. The Lakers have to be hunting Ayton right? He should be cheap, he won’t cost anything to acquire, he’s somewhat of a name, and oh yeah he plays center.
  14. I think the Hawks overpaid for Alexander-Walker at 4 years $62 million. Glad we stayed out of that one. That said, they made a good deal for Kennard at 1 year $10 million. Reed better drill 3’s like crazy next season.
  15. So the story on Booker is that he likes the Suns because of the proximity to LA without having to play on one of the LA teams right?
  16. The Capela signing shows me they did some self scouting and figured out they have to hide Alpi on defense. He tries hard and is improving, but he’s still slightly below league average. Thank goodness he’s getting better. I thought he has Sabonis Part II. Finney-Smith is slightly concerning if they’re bringing him in to solve their bench 3 point woes. He shot well above his career average last year, and he’s another below average FT shooter. I don’t think they have enough money to sign another shooter. I’d be careful about dealing Cam. They’re going to need somebody to play SG.
  17. I like all 3 of these guys. Alexander-Walker for upside. Kennard for shooting. Finney-Smith for pretty decent 3 and D.
  18. Knob Creek is really all over the place for me. I’ve liked all of the Longhorn picks. The sweet spot is 14+ years at 120 proof, but those are probably never coming back. i don’t care for KC12. I don’t remember 15 being anything memorable. The new Longhorn pick is pretty good. I’d guess it’s around 9+ years at 100 proof. That said, it’s probably not worth eating at Longhorn Steakhouse to try a pretty good pick.
  19. I hope some of you Houstonians shot your shot this weekend. Chloe Fineman was at the Beyoncé concert.
  20. Whitmore has drawn interest from the Nuggets and Bulls. I’d rather not bail the Nuggets’ dogshit bench out, so please trade him to the East.
  21. I jwas about to post about Finney-Smith. Game Theory is discussing him as already not a member of the Lakers. They don’t think there’s anyway they can keep him.
  22. Game Theory really the Jabari deal. Thinks it has great value if he becomes the 4th best player in the team. Still has value if Jabari is the 6th man. If falls in the rotation, it’s still a very tradeable contract.
  23. Jaw dropping they hit 50 wins already with this offense. Astros Pitching Culture is real.
  24. The perfect Beth episode? For sure the most fleshed out Gene episode.
