he should be. that's a team that should be looking at jim harbaugh.

all 8 jacksonville fans are probably really mad right now.

ausar is not a stud perimeter player. he's not even close. he's a small step up from hamadou diallo at this point. duren has a chance to be a rim protecting roll man. that's a valuable piece. if he doesnt develop, then fine. but you need at least one playable big. youre jumping 3 years down the road on his contract. if he's worth $25m per then he developed into something more than andre drummond and worth keeping around. stewart isnt quick enough to guard the perimeter and not big enough to guard bigs down low. he gets by in the regular season but if he's traded and gets into the playoffs he'll get exposed.

now can we take the starters out?

get the starters out of the game. please.

the only thing they needed from this game was to come out of it healthy. so this game is already a loss, no matter what the scoreboard says.

duren shoots better than ausar already and he's one of the youngest players in the league. he has potential to be a defensive center with midrange. i'm going to see if he can get there before i give up on him. not sure why people are slobbering over ausar and claiming isaiah stewart is valuable while looking to get rid of duren at the first possibility.

why is nobody talking about what a ****ty job greg popovich is doing?

more weak sauce from the league. i miss david stern sometimes.

depends on the other matchups. whoever dallas plays will get the best ratings no matter when the game is held. does the nfl want that in prime time? kc-buffalo would also be a marquee matchup. other than that, is there another appealing matchup that doesnt involve detroit? philly-tampa or new orleans? blah. miami-indy or houston? jacksonville against anyone? i guess miami-pittsburgh would have some juice. other than anything involving kc, buffalo, or dallas, i dont see anything more attractive to the networks than detroit-green bay. eveb detroit-LA has the stafford angle (which i agree with bonghit doesnt have the juice everywhere else that lions fans seem to think it has) and - more importantly - the LA tv market.

petry will get nothing much, if anything. gostisbehere and perron will get you something decent. maybe not a first round pick, but close.

are you damning with faint praise? 🙂

detroit-green bay might be.

ed hochuli is a defense attorney in phoenix. lots of carriers use his firm. i saw him once at a convention and he is HUGE! dude looked like the hulk. he was walking around waiting for someone to notice him. and yes, he was practicing while reffing on the weekends. i dont think it makes a difference if theyre full time or not. they only play games on the weekends, its not like mlb or the nba where they play multiple times a week and need full time officials. human error by the refs is part of the game. however, the league and refs should be accountable for their mistakes, which is not what happened here.

i have a feeling buium is on the taro hirose path to AAAA stardom. if he makes it. he's been in college an awful long time.

gostisbehere is gone after this year (or this year at the deadline). maata will be gone after next year. plenty of time for prospects to come up. was edvinsson really that good when he played this year? does he need more time in the nhl? yes. but he didnt light the world on fire when he was here. he'll be a regular next year. the others on your list still need time to see if theyre good enough. theyre not nhl players right now. only edvinsson is being blocked now.

what do all those teams have in common? tom gores.

jordan love is playing like one of the best qbs in the league in the last part of the season. i do not want this to be another "brett favre to sterling sharpe in the end zone" situations where we are the foil in the playoffs to crown another packer great qb.

from wheeler: Trey Augustine (G, Detroit Red Wings): So controlled in his movements. Always seems to be in the right spots and ready for shots. As good a goalie down low as there is at this level. Kicks absolutely everything out. Anton Johansson (D, Detroit Red Wings): Physical. Strong. Seldom used, though, after losing his top-six job to Theo Lindstein early. Axel Sandin Pellikka (D, Detroit Red Wings): His usual eager self putting pucks on net from the point. Got better as the tournament went on and became a real go-to guy for the Swedes. Hard to believe he was still their youngest D for the second year in a row. Nate Danielson (F, Detroit Red Wings): Scored Canada’s first goal of the tournament and set up its second. Was good later in the tournament, too. Thought he was just OK through the middle of it. Played with intention and consistency. Simplified his game but did so effectively. Did show some skill/skating in a depth role. Minutes rose in some important moments. When others sat, he kept getting shifts. Kevin Bicker (F, Detroit Red Wings): Skated well. Liked him in the relegation game, and not just because he opened the scoring (was on the puck more, moving his feet on and off the puck, holding it, and involved in play creation). Wasn’t otherwise super noticeable (that goal, in what was his fifth game, was on just his fourth shot of the tournament), though he did show some nice vision/on-puck play at times. Don’t view him as much of an NHL prospect, though, honestly. Had a nice run of play on a tour of North America last year and it got him picked, but his profile and play since haven’t necessarily reflected that. Will be a good mid-tier pro. Not sure I see more than that.

duren is 95% from the line in his last ten or so games? i still have an outside hope that he develops a mid range game and turns into a poor man's mcdyess. chris webber went from non-shooter to a decent mid range guy... again, dare to dream! i actually think that's more likely than ausar turning into an average shooter. ausar's shot is broke. they need a coach who can figure out how to use him because monty aint it.

cade is not the problem.

livers is useless. bad on offense and bad on defense. he's not even an nba player. and remember the beat writers telling us all last season and all offseason how much livers will make a difference and how great he is? that comes right from the front office. these guys believed livers was a difference maker. they have to be fired. killian is at least decent on defense and can run the offense. he's an nba bench player on an average nba team. but livers is useless. sasser might one day be a bench scorer. maybe. or maybe he develops into jalen brunson? haha. dare to dream.

2 points in 9 minutes.

jesus effing christ. YOU ARE BAD AT BASKETBALL!!!!! THAT'S WHY!

ivey, two seconds, and a 2029 first for pascal siakem. followed by a max contract for the 30 year old. followed by duren, burks, and a 2030 first for zach lavine.
