lol, oh randy. we'll get the #1 pick next year because there are no top players available. is this your first draft rodeo? lol.

frank made a lot of money.

or he can do penance 2023 and do some "therapy" and go on his "personal journey" to understand how his actions injured people. issue a statement about how he has a lot to learn and he takes that seriously, yadda yadda yadda. that worked for ferentz at iowa.

even if he didnt know, its his job to know. he's in charge of the program. that said, there are conflicting reports about whether this happened and the extent it did, with current players now saying the "whistleblower" told them he was just doing it to get fitzgerald fired, and that everything he's said has been overblown. i have no doubt that everything is overblown and taken out of context because its a media report. however, its probably still enough to get fitzgerald fired.

philly still has harden on their team, so if round one goes 7 games there is a great chance they dont have to guarantee Reed's deal.

rasmussen or perron will be on lines one aand two respectively. debrincat and raymond are too small to play together 5 v 5.

wiseman and duren cant play together. it clogs up the court too much. when duren was in the game, ivey looked much better. it doesnt help that they dont have a point guard to get him the ball. speaking of which, ausar is their best point player on this roster. he passes really well. but that said, ausar is not a 3 and d player yet because he cannot shoot. yet. hopefully he gets better as he gets older. he's a good enough athlete to figure it out. his ceiling? scottie pippen. his floor? great defensive player who cant shoot (which are available all over the place.) watching wiseman play still makes me mad. he's such a black hole on offense. he played well when he had a guy on him who couldnt play, but he almost never passes and just sits on the lane clogging it up for everyone. its 2023 troy, not 1987.

4 years at less than $8m per makes it a great deal for detroit.
-
enough to make them a playoff team? probably not unless there is some big time growth from their prospects this year. but theyre getting better.
-
i actually think that's a fair trade for both teams.
-
if the boston pick doesnt convey next year (because its top ten protected), the wings get to choose whether to send their own pick in 2024 or boston's in 2025.
-
sebrango, a 4th rounder, and either boston's first or our first, whichever is lower.
-
well....that was embarassing.

good: duren had a good game shooting wise. bad: jaden ivey was god awful. its hard to say anything about ausar because its summer league and the guard play is so bad. ivey was playing hero ball for most of the time he was in the game (and playing it badly) so ausar didnt have much to do but watch. he made a really nice pass on the break. you can tell why they think he has "basketball sense" and compete. cant say anything about his shot because we didnt get to see it thanks for ivey ball hogging. this will sound terrible but he looked like a more athletic killian sometimes. sasser made some threes. so did buddy. wiseman is the #2 pick in the draft, 2 years older than most of these guys, and playing against guys 7 inches shorter than him. you'd expect him to dominate. he was ok, but did not dominate. anthony black looked good for orlando. its a summer league game so you cant really tell anything. but what's the purpose of summer league if we cant make ridiculous assumptions based on glorified pick up games?

they've spent a ton of money re-doing wrigley on the inside (and outside). the concourses are much wider now and the food and drink choices better represent the modern day wrigley attender. in many ways, it feels like a much different place while also feeling the same. theyve done a nice job with it. they still have troughs! but theyre much nicer than they used to be. not so long ago they had nets above the lower deck seats to catch falling concrete!

from being the "second coming of kevin durant" to a two way player in less than 3 years. congrats to emoni and his dad!

nobody else is bidding for rodney magruder.

elon is teasing me because every time i open twitter alex debrincat is trending and i get excited. and it turns out to be nothing.
-
i'm not trying to do that, i'm just saying i doubt washington gets a ton for him at the deadline. that said, they'll get SOMETHING, which is better than the nothing the tigers will get because he is no longer on their team. i didnt think it was a big deal they let him walk, but he's been better this year than i thought he would be.

you're not alone...

he can ask all he wants but i doubt they get that much for a rental third baseman who has is having half a good season.
