    how do you know the japanese leagues were not major league quality? the negro leagues were glorified barnstorming leagues for many years. yes, they were of an inferior overall quality and the records kept were much spottier than in the mlb. not sure what your last sentence is for, but in a way it encapsualtes why this change was made: because society wronged black people. ok, but to change the record books to incorporate numbers from an inferior league is silly revisionist history, imo. its like putting an asterix on barry bonds' records, like keeping pete rose out of the hall of fame. its done to put a moralistic spin on the past and proclaim virtue in 2024.

    should we incorporate japanese league statistics into major league records too? how about mexican league statistics? this is just an attempt to retroactively right a wrong that cannot be corrected. the negro leagues were not "major league baseball" and cannot - and should not - be counted as major league baseball equivalent statistics.

    i'm not taking a dude at 5 who is that small and that unathletic. yeah, he jumps high at the combine, but he cant move side to side. he wont be able to stay in front of nba guards. i dont see it. he's tj mcconnell. he's marcus sasser. he's not a top 5 pick. please give me taller. please give me the ability to drive and score. or please give me defense. you see what i did there? i just guaranteed he's the next mark price. youre welcome reed.

    never change, kat. never change. "Towns, who was benched for nearly the last nine minutes of the Wolves' Game 2 loss, is now shooting 27.8% for the series. That mark is the fourth-worst field goal percentage by any player through the first three games of a conference or divisional finals in the shot clock era, according to ESPN Stats & Information. His 3-point shooting, extending back to the conference semifinals against the Denver Nuggets, has also been unprecedentedly poor. Towns is 4-for-32 (12.5%) on 3s in his past five games, which is the worst 3-point percentage over a five-game span among players with 30 or more 3-point attempts in NBA postseason history."

    that was vintage playoff kat in the first half. soft, missing threes, refusing to take contact and settling for fadeway jumpers.

    it was good to see soderblom throwing his weight around a bit too.

    cubs fans still lament that trade. theo is one of the only guys who lost trades with al avila.

    he begged to go to the cubs. instead, the cubs traded eloy jimenez and dylan cease for jose quintana.

    1000% getting kenny atkinson. kenny bailed on the nets when they got stupid ownership who wanted to bring in stars in impress people rather than play team basketball, would he really want to work for tom gores? or trust him to not do something stupid to mess up the plan? but if he was willing to do it, i would hire him in a second.
  15. buddha
    gores comes in and makes splashy headline making decisions. 1) hiring svg with no front office experience to be gm and coach; and 2) hiring a very reluctant monty williams for an obscene amount of money. both decisions have the hallmark of someone who has no knowledge of how to run a successful basketball organization. early on he let dumars run everything. that failed. weaver appeared to be an acceptable hire at the time but has been shown to have been a mistake. the rumors were that tellum wanted collins to coach and weaver wanted ollie. gores likely "broke the tie" by inserting his poor bball knowledge and looking for the shiniest, most expensive (and therefore the best) toy he could find, ergo monty. and while monty has been a masterclass on poor coaching, its not like ollie set the world on fire. if tellum really is running the show now, that's got to preferable to gores or weaver.

    if only you were a little bit taller, you could have been a baller...

    the system still has no rules and no teeth to it. this is all a prelude to the scenario we've all been talking about for years: unionization and collective bargaining. until then its still the wild west. do you think ole miss, lsu, and ohio state boosters are suddenly going to stop paying players extra cash because theyre now "officially" getting paid? come on.
  18. buddha
    because we saw how monty handled the roster and his lineup moves during the game. they were very perplexing, to say the least. yes, the roster was garbage, but monty's choices of who to play during games was downright malpractice. they had to cut killian to get monty to stop playing him instead of ivey, for example.

    doesnt tellum own a piece of the team?
  20. buddha
    im sure that's just a coincidence.

    monk's 5 years younger. i'd rather pay for his prime than kcp's decline. but if you're going to prioritize defense, then kcp would be a better pick and will probably be cheaper.
  22. buddha
    he'll get a really nice raise out of our interest. unless they've been "told" that he wants the move. but that's dangerous because you could get hit with tampering charges.
  23. buddha
    lets hope so. that's the biggest weakness on the roster. the rest of the team is pretty complete (although they need jack campbell to make some improvements this year). oh, and they have to fire ben johnson. i've been told he's weighing them down...

    how's that trae young trade looking now? the only thing i hate about luka is that he's such a whiner. it gets annoying. reminds me of tim duncan crying about every call.

    none of the options for cap space are really intriguing. it is really frustrating to see how other franchises operate and to be a fan of one of the dumbest.
