Regardless what you think of the trade one good thing is it gives us another player to focus on and hope plays well the rest of the way. We already knew what Bey was so there was no tuning into see him but we now have Ivey, Duren and Wiseman to keep tabs and watch.
-
True and admittedly I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but I think he's been apprehensive about making a change cause he knows we aren't in position to compete yet and he doesn't want to throw a young coach in a position where they are going to fail. He basically knows that at the very least with Casey there likely isn't going to be any locker room or off the court issues because the players respect him. Essentially he's like a well paid babysitter at this point in my eyes and if/when the team is ready to take that next step they will bring in a new staff...... atleast thats my hope anyway.

I agree that this needs to be the last year as bottom feeders and we need to start showing improvements both record wise and from an individual player standpoint. We haven't had many players get better with time here, it's like they either didn't grow or got worse the longer theyve been here and that's the big worry with me. I try to think positive though and just blame it on Casey and his staff and once they are gone things will get better.

To be fair to Jamal he also was used alot in short yardage situation where your only objective is to gain a yard or two so his ypc is kinda misleading.
-
The only reason I don't question Weaver more is that we don't really know what the end game is and what the objective is. Like for all we know the end game in 2020 was to completely tank for 3 years then start to compete in 2023-24 and that's why we still have Casey and give a bunch of minutes to old vets. If that was the plan then we ended up with Cade, Ivey, Duren, Wiseman, Stew, the 23 1st and the dependable vet in Bogey to start to compete with, in which case were not far off from the plan. Hopefully we get a new coach as well and if we do I think we can be in the bottom of the playoffs next year and hopefully continue to grow and get better from there.

I guess Weaver has been enamored with Wiseman for awhile, saw some reports saying that he tried to move up to get him in the 2020 draft. I'm guessing he gets consistent playing time the rest of the year and if he proves himself or shows a glimmer of his upside we'll make some corresponding moves in the offseason to free up more time for him in the coming years. All in all I don't hate the trade, it sounds like Bey wasn't gonna be in our long term plans and we likely weren't going to get a young player with any more upside than Wiseman for him. No matter who we got there were going to be some flaws with him. So to me this is just a meh trade, nothing I love but nothing I'm going to lose sleep over either.
-
I thought it was but maybe that was just me. I thought the consensus at the time was that he'd be back sometime by the break. In the article it says "what would you to say to somebody that said you were going to miss the entire year?" to which Skubal replied "Id call that person a liar."
-
Said everything is going well but won't give a timetable on a return. It does sound like he plans to be return sometime this year but thats something that I think people were expecting anyway.
-
Weaver is already thinking of potential trade packages for number 2 pick Holmgrem if he disappoints in OKC.
-
Definetly not required but I think Johnson is a tier or two above everybody else for his class of receivers. Kinda like how we could've waited and got a guy like Sky Moore last year but instead went out and got the guy in his own tier in Jamo. Could see something similar with Johnson if Holmes wants to go that route.
-
If we were to sign a Dean and let Chark go that could open up the possibility of Quintin Johnson at 18.(or maybe a little trade up if need be) I brought him up a few times and I know we have more pressing needs but I just think he would be the perfect receiver to compliment Jamo and ARSB.
-
Not to mention just this past year Sauce and Woolen came into the league and dominated and they played at Cincinnati and *checks notes* University of Texas San Antonio.
-
I thought Wiseman was supposed to have some projectable offensive skills or have people kinda given up on that thought?
-
Walking away with Carter and Porter along with Bradberry in FA would be the dream scenario for me.
-
Id love to take a chance on Wiseman. Feels like he has been around for awhile then I check and see he is only 21. Him, Duren and if we're lucky Wemby would be awesome! I guess you could say that about Wemby and anybody though.
-
Lebron indeed breaks the record with a little step back from the elbow, a shot he has made 1000s of times. If it wasn't going to be a dunk probably the most fitting shot for him to break it with.
-
Just turned on the Lakers game a few minutes ago and Lebron is looking like 2007 Lebron, scored 10 pts in the few minutes I've had the game on and is at 30 for the game with 4 left in the 3rd. Only 6 shy of the record and barring something crazy he's going to get it tonight.

With the sun out and 50 degree weather I found myself for the first time really this offseason looking forward to the Tigers starting up. It sucks having yet another season of zero expectations but I'm still looking forward to seeing how guys like Greene, Manning and Tork fair and rooting for positive success from them. Would love to see one of them really break out like a Julio Rodriguez last year and grab national attention.
-
Id be fine with a guard at 18 if that's who is at the top of their board. Yes OL is a strength and we have more pressing needs but you can improve just as easily by making a strength even better as you can by making a weakness better. Unless your strength is to the point where there is no improving it but the O line namely guard isn't to that point.

I always think of This video game I played on sega as a kid called "Sports Talk Baseball" when I think of Hojo. It came out in 1992 and he was on the Mets coming off a 38HR season(still remember the number just cause of the game) and was just a total beast on the game. It was before the old chuck Norris facts jokes but my friends and I would kinda make those type of jokes about Hojo when playing the game. We treated him as this mythical being cause on the game he kinda was. Basically a total cheat code.
-
I loved the fact the Nets owner basically said to trade him anywhere but the Lakers since that's where he wanted to go most. I love that level of spitefulness against these players that want to pick and choose where they go after demanding to be traded.
-
ESPN put out its best qb bargains off their compensation vs. Value on field and Goff was number 3 among the non rookie deals trailing only Mahomes and Allen.
-
I'm talking myself into Bijan, I hate the thought of taking a rb early but I also am a believer in taking guys that have a clear separation over their peers and he seems to fit that bill at rb. Im skeptical they do it but its something I'm warming up to.
-
I think they may very well go corner with 2 of their first 3 picks.

So Kyrie is going to the Mavs for Dinwiddie, Finney-Smith an unprotected 2029 1st and 2 2nds. If things work out that Luka, Kyrie combo could be unstoppable.
