  1. Sorting through the new mock drafts, I don’t think there will be a player available that can break into the Rocket’s rotation. Especially after the Reed Sheppard rookie experience. They need to package this pick or roll the dice on a “lottery ticket” in a future draft.
  2. But then they approved a Paul trade to the Clippers all while fucking owning the franchise.
  3. I don’t think it’s a conspiracy, the lottery is a mechanism for the league to control their teams. Trade Luka and the they’ll give you Flagg. Trade Chris Paul and they’ll give you AD. Trade AD and they’ll give you Zion. Unfortunately for the Jazz and Wizards, they didn’t have anything the NBA wanted.
  4. I’m hoping Luthen’s ship survives. Luthen surviving won’t be happening.
  5. What if the Rockets let FVV walk and sign Schroder to a 2 year deal? Capable starting PG play, good defender, and a bridge to Reed.
  6. The Mavs need to address point guard in free agency or it’s going to be a long year even with Flagg + “healthy” AD. I’d target Schroder. He’s a UFA.
  7. As the chicken man stated above, the league doesn’t want Wemby to flounder in San Antonio. None of the 5 teams in LA, NY, or Miami are ideal trade partners. - LAL. Already completed their deal with the devil in the Luka trade rape. The Lakers best offer for Giannis would be Reaves, Knecht and one first. - Knicks don’t have shit to trade. I’ve heard the Ringer throw out KAT for Giannis which is laughable. They have zero picks. - Clippers. LOL. They have 1 first this year. That’s it until after 2031. - Nets. Lots of picks. No young pieces to send back for Giannis. - Miami. Picks plus some young pieces. The Bucks should shoot for a Castle level young player plus a boatload of picks.
  8. I think we should mentally prepare ourselves for Giannis to SA. It’s what the league wants. Let’s say they don’t get Giannis, what’s the league’s move if the Spurs are 5 games under .500 at the trade deadline? It’s gotta be bigger than gifting them Fox. I think Dallas will be trash even with Flagg. They don’t have a point guard, and AD can play 30 minutes a game tops when healthy. Decent chance Kyrie doesn’t play next year.
  9. ESPN radio was in full spin mode this morning. - “Dallas deserved the first pick because they were trying. The Jazz and Wizards were trying to be a joke and they got what they got.” - “San Antonio shouldn’t trade Castle for Giannis, but the Rockets should trade Amen for him.” Just breathtakingly stupid takes.
  10. I would either trade up for Tre or Fears or package the pick in a bigger deal. Stick and pick would be unwise. Pretty goddamned obvious that Silver and the Mavs traded some horses. I don’t like the Adelsons, but butt fucking new owners with distasteful businesses pisses me off. Crane was investigated for war profiteering, so that son of bitch Selig makes us move to the AL to approve the deal.
  11. Content is king. Unfortunately, I think it’s Philly or SA.
  12. STFB is pretty great. It should have made the new BTAC lineup, not EHT.
  13. Simmons infamously hates Star Wars, but I heard he was converted after this episode. He was born in 1969. Absolutely insane that he didn’t see this movie in theaters and fall in love as a 8 year old.
  14. I think they need to eliminate the couple/family goes to dinner and the cast does goody shit sketches. They’re in almost every episode and they almost never work. It’s a disservice to Goggins to have him play a straight man dad while Brown Yang flounders. Goggins has nothing to do in that format/sketch.
  15. If you want to watch yet another autopsy on the Vietnam War, Turning Point from 2025 is pretty good.
  16. Silver has some hard decisions coming this week. Does he send another love letter to Pop, bail out Philly, or make Utah or DC relevant?
  17. In the past, I would watch Pulp Fiction and Boogie Nights as my late night movies. I’m not sure Jackie Brown is better than those movies, but it’s a lot more mellow when you’re trying to unwind.
  18. Shout out to Cecily Strong. Her Jeanine Pirro impression is probably the best on SNL in the last 20 years. She nails Pirro’s voice, cadence, and functional alcoholism. I laughed my ass during the cold open. I hope they consider bringing Cecily back if she’s interested. It wouldn’t be without precedent and she’s younger than Kenan.
  19. Rian Johnson is a tough hang. I love him for Poker Face and Knives Out, while also deeply despising him for Last Jedi. I think murder-mysteries are his lane. As long as I know what’s he’s good at, I suppose we can be friends.
  20. If I’m in Please Don’t Destroy, I’m probably looking for another job. They cut their film after rehearsal last week, and another short made it in the show tonight. A couple animated films have made the show recently as well. Off the top of my head, they’re in 1 out of 5 episodes. The boys are way too talented and funny to live with that.
  21. Don’t love the format. You have basically comedy Daniel Day Lewis and you use him in basically 2 sketches before Update. Padilla has the housewive/mom role down cold. She might have staying power.
  22. Goggins is killing. Matt was hilarious. Of course they wasted Rockwell on a stupid Wickline song.
  23. It’s a medical miracle LMJ pitched again in the majors. I believe he’s the first person in history to come back from those 3 procedures. That said, this is about what I expected from him.
  24. Amen+Flagg would be a small guard’s worst fucking nightmare. We deserve it after this Curry bullshit.
