  1. franklin at a place like va tech would be interesting considering how he complained that penn state wouldnt pony up the nil money he needed to compete. will va tech match his ambitions or would he be better off at a place like florida state? on the one hand, fsu will have many more resources. on the other, 9-3 every year at va tech gets you a statue. 9-3 at florida state gets you fired in 4 years.
  2. Theyre one of the youngest teams in college football and they play like it. this is a rebuilding year. get rid of wink, build on that very young oline and next year get a top receiver. you have the #1 rb recruit to go with the #1 qb recruit to go with an improving, young oline. the offense should be fine long term. the defense? lets see. they had an incredible run of coaching up talent under harbaugh. a collection of 3 and 4 stars who played their way into being nfl draft picks. now that he's gone, we'll see if that continues. but you have to get rid of wink, the dude is just not a college dc. go get your retirement package being a consultant for one of your nfl buddies. we'll see about sherrone. harbaugh wasnt the master of late game time management either.
  3. Thibs!
  4. New Orleans fired its head coach. Because that was definitely the problem. Assemble a bad team, give away assets like candy in order to do so. cripple the team's future. Fire the coach. Joe Dumars and Troy Weaver strike again.
  5. This michigan team has a long way to go to be good. they look bad right now. except for mara. he looks like a future first round nba draft pick.
  6. then why do they do it in the nba and nhl?
  7. Patrick beverly should already be in prison for all the assaults on backboards he committed throughout his career.
  8. which it does. all the time. people who dont think this is happening are really naive. it happens in other sports all the time. heck, you see it happening in COLLEGE sports now with portal deals announced the day the portal opens. and teams do sometimes get "busted." guess what? they keep doing it because this is millions and billions of dollars were talking about and lots of planning that goes into making these budgets. it aint pennies and chump change anymore. and they do it in baseball too.
  9. but look at what they did LAST year in almost winning 70 games. and this year they could be just as good or better considering how young their roster is. amd as betrayer pointed out, they are flush with lottery picks too. we may be looking at a massive dynasty unless they **** up the picks like golden state did with weisman.
  10. ok. its why you see free agents sign immediately the day free agency "opens". those deals have been discussed through back channels long before then.
  11. Boras will go get all the potential offers. i'm sure he's already had conversations and knows what the market will be for skubal. he'll let skubal know his options and then he can decide. in other words, through backroom conversations he's probably already "taken skubal to market."
  12. Has okc built the best team of all time?
  13. markkanen will now miss the next five games for rest...
  14. asp benched for the last 15 minutes.
  15. how long until 84 compares genborg to shanahan? 2 more goals? 😉
  16. markkanen is exactly the type of player this team needs: a big who can space the floor and shoot. i understand the concerns about health. for all of those aquisitions the big concern is price. markkanen is going to cost you all of your assets. murphy theoretically would too but for the fact that joe dumars and troy weaver are running that show. give paul reed a couple more big games and weaver will be offering you first round picks for him because, well, he's tall and gets rebounds. sexton would be an upgrade on jenkins. or they can just go get shroeder again, the kings are about to blow everything up yet again.
  17. shroeder is a vwt who performed well in the playoffs last year. that means something. jenkins has performed well in regular season games, which doesnt mean nearly as much. let's see how he holds up when teams are actually trying on defense. i like jenkins. i have nothing against him, but performing well in a coupke regular season games in november is not the same as staring down madison square garden in june. if they can upgrade for a reasonable price they should do it.
  18. zach lowe had the pistons 3/4 in the east so far. behind my, cleveland, and maybe milwaukee. he also said duren is a demon on defense now, so i'm not sure how much he watches our games. am i missing something? he still looks ponderous on the perimeter and too often is nailed to the ground at the basket. i dont see them all that often, is he better? of these potential trade acquisitions, which one would you take and what would you spend to get them? zack lavine lauri markkanen anthony davis ja morant zion trey murphy (just for del) collin sexton
  19. i'd feel a lot better about the playoffs with schroeder than jenkins. but he's playing pretty well now.
  20. it happens a lot when you dont plat any defense and your big man cant protect the rim. no one on the team can protect the rim. no one can defend the perimeter either. they can score. that's it.
  21. giddey doesnt play defense either. they gave up almost 130 points to the pistons bench.
  22. bump.
  23. bwaaahaahaahaaa! the bulls just lost to the g league team!
