  1. Nobody is lining up give assets and pay $33 million to Green. It’s not toxic but it’s not an ace in the hole either.
  2. Not wild about Bailey. Seems like low iq chucker but he can definitely stroke it. Lord knows they need shooting. I saw everything I needed to see from Edgecombe in the Olympics. He’s a stud. Big Derik Queen fan if we’re looking for a big. He’d be a great pairing with Wemby. I saw they had a 26% chance of picking in the top 4? I’ll take it. I really like the guy from byu and the guy from Illinois. I’d be happy with either of them.
  3. I think I’m the only one who didn’t like the movie that much.
  4. I'm really, really going through some shit. Just about any type of stress you could be under (other than my kids are fantastic), I'm currently experiencing. Financial stress, work stress, potential legal stress, personal medical/ diagnosed mental stress, marital stress, taking care of elderly parent losing memory stress. Even my dog may require surgery on her leg. I hit the shitstorm motherlode and everything came down on me at once.
  5. Need to drop this one. Getting a little too close to Portland.
  6. Damn Slick Watts. RIP.
  7. I don’t even know if this is the right thread to discuss this in but the first two new daredevil episodes dropped and I think they’re great.
  8. Castle is going to be such a stud. But they need to lose this game.
  9. Trust the process.
  10. Reunited and it feels so good. This is the funniest hire since the Mike Stopps meltdown, but in a much different way. I’m trying to think of an analogy, but can’t. Too damn funny but a little disappointed that Jerry Gray isn’t involved.
  11. I don't really think it's possible for LA to lose that trade. Even if he never gets into shape and never plays at his previous level, they still win the trade 100 times out of 100.
  12. Yeah I’m confused also. Like the lottery was rigged by the nba so fuck the NBA? Or fuck Pop because of his political stuff?
  13. I was talking openly about them starting the tank even before the injury. This just gives them clarity. This also gives Castle a much wider berth. He needs 35 minutes a night to learn from as many mistakes as possible. Don’t get me wrong, it still sucks not to see Wemby play until next fall, but this is probably a blessing in disguise. Also, for the worry warts, Brandon Ingram had the same issue and he’s been fine. Ausar Thompson too, although it’s too early to say anything about his health long term.
  14. Sumbitch. Season's over. Wemby has a blod clot in his shoulder and is done for the year. Gag for Flagg in full effect. Probably best long term but man this really sucks.
  15. I don't know how to embed tweets anymore, but this is ridiculous: https://x.com/pointfour__/status/1891487148748025956 42 minutes of actual basketball was played in the 3 hour All-Star game. I actually enjoyed the format. It was a massive improvement. The players played actual basketball and it was fun... but the show itself was fucking terrible. 80 minutes of ads. 20 minutes of unwatchable, unrelated, boring content that interrupted actual basketball. Just 42 minutes of hoops. Kevin Hart made me want to claw my ears off of my head. I understand having a little interlude to give the team that just played a break to catch their breath so they aren't at a disadvantage, but it shouldn't be any longer than a regular halftime.
  16. I forgot they were still playing a game.
  17. What we just saw was better basketball than any asg in recent memory. Not sure what Draymond is watching.
  18. On one hand yes... Collins was a disappointment considering what he flashed after he first got healthy. On the other, his cruddy contract turned out to be needed in the Fox trade. He was a roll of the dice to begin with. They clearly have a need for at least two more bigs. Wemby is too slight to fight the heavier players and Bassey can't stay healthy / isn't that great or big enough to begin with. They need some bruisers just for matchup purposes. I think the clock is ticking on Vassell. He's getting more and more easy looks now that Castle is there and he's just not hitting them. His defense has regressed too. He's a way bigger disappointment to me than Collins. And don't get me started on Keldon...
  19. Someone needs to grab a damn rebound. Awful.

  21. They would still have KAT if they never made the Gobert trade. That’s the contract that killed them.
  22. Siakam wanted out of Toronto regardless I believe, and he ended up with a bigger contract than Ingram. 4 years/ $190 million vs. 3 years / $120 million. Ingram was eligible for 4 years / $208 million. Good for NOLA to not pay him that. I don't think it's a horrible signing by Toronto in a vacuum, but it behooves most franchises in the NBA to pick a lane -- contend or you tank. They are going to be a treadmill team for the foreseeable future.
  23. ESPN incessantly slobbing the Lakers knob last night was just fucking brutal. It was like a two hour plus commercial for Laker exceptionalism. The announcers were giddy with the idea that it was somehow destiny that the Lakers end up with another generational talent to build around. They were still incredulous that anybody could be so stupid to trade a 25 year old who is a top 5 player in the world. Like, "Can you believe what the Lakers just fell into? There's Rob Pelinka.... the guy who magically made it happen. He must have the world's largest rabbit foot up his ass! Isn't this great!" I don't even like Luka or the Mavs and it made me want to puke. I can't imagine what you Dallas fans are going through. Those fuckers were due for another post-Kobe style walk through the desert in Lebron's twilight years and we were robbed of that. And I want to hate Luka for all this... but it's not his fault. It's not like he asked for this. He still looks as shell shocked as the rest of us that he's playing with Lebron. Jesus, what a colossal unforced fuck up this whole thing is. How does this shit happen in 2025?
  24. If the spurs lose this one, and I know it’s early but it feels like they’re going to lose this one, they need to lean completely into the tank. Like fuck it, it’s over. i don’t mind the offense being terrible nearly as much as i mind how many wide open threes they give up.
