    totally false. my wife and daughter are there right now having a wonderful time, as we always do. and kind of ironic coming from someone with "new york" in their title.

    i love listening to JEIII complain that people think he's a mouthpiece for the organization. ummm...people will probably stop saying that when you criticize one thing that weaver has done. his only MILD criticism has been the bagley contract, which is the lowest of low hanging fruit. pistons writers are like pravda workers.

    he should go back to his awesome country rather than staying in a **** hole like new york city.

    hollinger in the athletic on the summer league underachievers: pistons frontcourt also a special mention for jaden ivey playing poorly. i would put an asterix on that. ivey played poorly when duren and wiseman were on the floor at the same time. no spacing. and everyone's play decreases when wiseman is on the floor because he is a black hole on offense and oblivious on defense.

    let's not lose sight of the party who suffered a very real injury as a result of this tweet: the English language.

    they've now filed suit, unsurprisingly. in other news, a "class action" against the cpd just netted a $5 million settlement. of the original 35 plaintiffs, 30 dropped out. the remaining five will split $120k. the lawyers will net 4.8 million. it will be the same here. as usual, the plaintiff's lawyers will make millions and the plaintiff's themselves will make nothing. which is fitting considering they have no real injuries from being "hazed."

    who the hell is brandon dixon?

    then again, chicago ran kane/toews/debrincat out there with good success...

    me neither. a lot of those prospect lists are like that. smaller guys who dazzle against lesser competition and put up huge numbers, but when they get into the league they are checked out of existence, or at least back to reality. the smaller ice and the bigger players makes the nhl more of a big man's league. that's why i dont understand people thinking raymond and debrincat are going to be on the same line, that seems like an awfully small line to go up against other teams' biggest defenders. maybe at home when we have the last change (which i think someone else mentioned earlier), but not regularly. i expect to see rasmussen and/or perron paired with them.

    all around center who can play defense, drive play, and create for others? sounds like jonathan toews.

    as usual with prospect rankings, there's an (over)emphasis on skilled wingers. especially small skilled wingers. yzerman seems to take the team building approach of getting big defensemen and centers. then let the wingers come in free agency because theyre easier to find there.

    wheeler's top 50 prospects under 23 is out. prospect cannot have played significant time in the nhl, so no seider, raymond, or berggren. edvinsson at 11, kasper at 31, ASP at 43. mazur, danielson and wallinder in the honorable mentions. in my biased opinion he's sleeping on mazur and lombardi.

    now they've hired human leeches ben crump and levin & perconti to make themselves some money.

    he's got a push shot that seems to start at his hip. gonna get swatted a lot.

    all offense and zero defense isnt something the wings have been searching for from their defensive core. they also have gothesbiere who fills that role on the PP. hard pass.
  16. buddha
    its not a criticism. his defense looks legit. his playmaking and basketball sense look legit. i do wonder where the offense will come from and what the team looks like if it never comes and other teams just leave him in the corner and crash the paint. if his comp is igudola, is his brother's comp jason kidd? man, i do love overreacting to everything in summer league. an annual tradition!

    tom gores is 58 years old and shows up on the sideline in a camoflage muscle shirt. what a ****ing douchebag.
  18. buddha
    you are the weirdest person i have ever (virtually) met. 🙂
  19. buddha
    it fits in the potential discussion. if he is all defense and has great vision and passing skills but cannot shoot, simmons is a good comp. simmons is a unique character in that he REFUSES to shoot and REFUSES to play, making every excuse in the book from back injuries to mythical psyche injuries that will conform with the cba guidelines. in that way, it does not fit. but in the skills category, it definitely fits if he cannot shoot.
  20. buddha
    so he's ben simmons?
  21. buddha
    not to be a debbie downer, but his shot is broke. if he can make it a viable - or even semi acceptable weapon - he's an all star. if not, he's tony allen.
  22. buddha
    i think they sign him and matthews.

    most "power rankings" seem to have them in the middle, and many have them below the vikings. walterfootball has been hyping them for two years now. im always wary about lions hype. its the lions, something inevitably goes wrong. we'll see it when goff goes down in week one. 😞
  24. buddha
    the lions have become one of the most overrated teams in the league.
  25. buddha
    wait until he turns it down...
