  1. Probably going to flame out spectacularly, but man UCLA was in a bad spot. Not sure what better options they had. What a first rate asshole Chip Kelly is. The UCLA job shouldn't be that difficult. NIL notwithstanding, that should be just about the easiest place to recruit to in the country. They are the second biggest fish in a huge pond and now with the Big 10 push behind them, they should at least field competent teams with even an replacement level coach.
  2. I don't think anybody is going to give up even a late first round pick for the opportunity to overpay Jalen Green when he hits free agency. I think it's way too early to say this unequivocally. It's a small sample size and more and more highly rated players are going to the G-League instead of college now. It would be dumb to write this pathway off at exactly the same time that they are getting more talent in the pipeline. The one and done Ignite guys are still really young. It takes time. Kuminga is having a breakout year for the Warriors. Scoot Henderson has been playing better lately, and he's still a rookie. Dyson Daniels is one of the best young defenders in the league. The rest of the Ignite guys outside of Green were taken late in the first round or in the second round.

  5. Stromboli. I think I have to knock out about four of them to take to the party I'm going to.
  6. It's a brilliant move by OKC. They're trading their worst 1st rounder this summer for the option to swap picks with Dallas in 2028. If Dallas continues on this trajectory and loses Luka that's probably a top 3 pick. I don't know about brilliant, but it's certainly a solid gamble, especially because they have so many picks. You just never know 1) what else they could have gotten for the pick this summer, and 2) there is always the possibility that Dallas has a better record than them when the swap happens so they end up getting zilch for it. It certainly looks like OKC is going to be a force for about the next decade, but fortunes can change quickly in the NBA. An injury here. A star not wanting to live in Oklahoma there. Shit can go south in a hurry.
  7. Thank you. Seems like a pretty lame deal for OKC to take a flyer on a Dallas swap in a few years, but what the hell were they going to do with 3 FRP in this cruddy draft, anyway? You are going to see more and more of these types of deals from them going forward. They can't possibly use all the picks they have so they will keep kicking them down the road for whatever they can get.
  8. Goodbye McBuckets. Solid move to get rid of the only guy on the roster who can knock down an open three. And LOL Spurs finally got Marcus Morris after all that bullshit. Fuck that guy!
  9. Well, that's as clear as mud. What is Dallas giving up for that first round pick that gets routed via OKC to Washington? Or does OKC just have so many picks that they are giving them out to other teams as charity?
  10. Solid moves for Dallas. I'm assuming they are just giving up second round picks for Gafford? He's a young guy on a reasonable contract. I'm not sure what motivation the Wiz have to dump him, but then again I can't understand what that front office is doing half the time, anyway. I would like to see what protections they have on the first round pick to Charlotte. Signing Grant Williams this offseason cost them an unprotected first round swap to the Spurs way down the road, so that's basically two FRP for Washington, who is also on a reasonable deal for two more years. While I still don't like the Kyrie move and the Brunson screwup would make me physically ill if I were a Mavs fan, Dallas has done some really solid roster building over the last year without having much cap or picks to work with.
  11. It's a little strange, but Hield has fallen out of their rotation and he's an UFA this summer. The Pacers get 3 SRP out of it and take no cap hit, which is more than they were going to get when he walked in a few months anyway. Or they might just be doing him and his agent a solid. Front offices work in strange ways, these days.
  12. Apparently Miles exercised a no trade clause in his contract. Why, I have no idea, but he's gone off (on the court, this time) the last couple of days. Can somebody please explain this trade to me. I get that Olynyk is going to be a free agent this summer and probably isn't in Utah's long term plans, but why is Toronto doing this? They can't decide if they're tanking, not tanking, accumulating picks, dumping picks, dumping salary, accumulating salary, whatever. And why is Utah baling on Agbaji for a late round pick in this crappy draft?
  13. Love what the Knicks are doing but boy are their fans going to be pissed when they flame out in the first round against Philly.
  14. I saw Mojo more times than I care to admit. RIP. The man could turn a phrase: I love you more than eating 'sghetti. I love you more than Richard Petty. I love you more than meatballs. But not as much as football. I wasn't there for the Don Henley must die night, but I was 100% there for that Magneto show. I was pretty fucked up and it was a long time ago, but wasn't there a standoff on the drag where the thief was holding up the guitar and everybody was pleading with him not to drop it? One of my good friends was pretty tight with Beaver Nelson at the time, and Magneto (plus Paul Minor) was essentially his backup band before they formed. So, we were at pretty much every one of their shows. I wore out that cassette. That era was for me, pretty much peak Austin before I moved back to San Antonio, The Hole would consistently book the Gourds, Magneto USA, Beaver, the Damnations, Two Hoots, the Sleestax and then there was always Dale, Charlie and Bruce Robison, Roger Wallace, and Damon Bramblett at the Continental or Ginnys. Junior Brown every Sunday night first at Henry's and then at the Continental. Electric Lounge opened around then, too. So much great music every night of the week.
  15. That will be convenient to have him on staff after they shitcan Aranda when he starts 1-4.
  16. Happy trading deadline day. Doesn't look like anything major is going down today but it's always fun when rumors start flying at the wire. It's a weird time -- most of the contenders (sans OKC and NOLA) are out of assets to deal. There are fewer sellers because more teams are still trying to compete to get to the play in game. There's funky shit going on with the second apron on the new cap. And finally, the 2024 draft looks like dogshit. That said, here's the first one of the day:
  17. Their best hope to even the playing field is for collective bargaining, but that just raises the floor. The NIL train has already left the station and the courts are not going to inhibit a kid from making endorsement money above whatever salary they receive. Could you imagine the NFL trying to stop Patrick Mahomes from making State Farm commercials because it's an unfair advantage to the Chiefs. Well, one can dream, I suppose.
  18. I hope they put in Saban's contract that he has to wear the mascot head at the end of the show.
  19. I still contend that they never should have fired Bud, but it doesn't matter if they hire Bill Belichek at this point. That defense is going to be leaky as long as Dame is in the lineup instead of Jrue Holiday. Their entire offseason was a major overreaction to a rather fluky first round loss against a really good Miami team when Giannis was hurt.

  22. I caught them in person Saturday against the spurs. They were really impressive. Great size and athleticism up front with Allen and Mobley. Great guard play from Mitchell and Garland. Strus was such a good addition for them. He fills in the gaps at both ends. I’ve been high on them for a couple of years now. It was rather astonishing watching what the Knicks did to them in the playoffs last year. But most of the time young teams need to take their medicine in the playoffs before they learn how to win.
  23. Ok... this actually looks pretty cool. Also, it's just a matter of time before every team in the league is blasting ads on this thing and using it for in game promotions.
  24. I think looking at the outlier playoff teams would be more interesting -- specifically TCU last year and Washington this year, and maybe Cincinnati in 2021. TCU had 8 guys drafted off their playoff team. Cincy had 9 drafted off the 2021 team. TCU had a new coach. UW coach was in year 2. They both won primarily with players recruited by somebody else.
