if monty likes teams that can move the ball quickly, shoot and play defense, it doesnt bode well for the future of wiseman and bagley.

the deal could get up to $100 million with incentives??? good lord. hey, its not my money.

holy cow that's a lot of money for a 30 win season.

i'm rethinking my monty love. i guess i am happy its NOT kevin ollie for all the reasons people have against him (no one else seems interested...). im disappointed quinn didnt even get a look. i am very wary of tom gores making this decision. as many problems as i have with weaver, i trust him more than tom gores. gores gave us svg as president, gm, and coach. him hiring monty could just be him "big game hunting" in an area he knows nothing about. i wonder if JEIII's reporting on all this is accurate? i imagine his source is either weaver or someone real close to him. did gores undercut weaver, or did monty's sudden availability change everything? maybe ollie never really was weaver's guy now that lee is the next man up? so many questions. btw, how embarassing is it if monty turns down $10 mil a year to coach your team?

once i saw that last line i knew exactly who posted this. 🙂

we're not allowed to have nice things. 😞

good!

let me know when he improves his changeup.

would you trade for jaylen brown?

serves them right for cheating to get him. so to assemble this grand team, they were docked a second rounder for tampering with Ball, gave up a first rounder to san antonio for derozan, gave up multiple first rounders for vucevic, and gave a supermax contract to lavine, and all they got out of it was one win in the first round before losing 4 straight. now theyre talking of dealing lavine to the blazers and breaking it up.

nick nurse to the sixers.

sox message boards this week have been GLORIOUS!

if they do get tatum, they might lose marshall. regardless, that would be an amazing get for michigan. although we do have a horrible history when it comes to 5* running backs.

kind of surprised i havent seen anyone link hopkins to detroit.

he's still getting paid by phoenix, so he'll probably just chill.

all the gun stuff will only make him more popular.

because you can get really good production from average running backs. their production is more oline dependent. look at saquon barkley, supremely talented but is not the offensive game changer people thought he would be and probably has not justified the #2 draft position. again, gibbs is (hopefully) a different animal. hopefully he gives us what swift only gave us in fits and starts because he was never healthy. that is a pass catching back AND someone who can run between the tackles. that player is valuable no matter the shelf life. as for this year's draft, the only offensive player i would have taken at that point in the draft over gibbs (12th) was JSN. you can make an argument for either one.

wasnt this one of tom gores' businesses? the one he had to apologize for and said he was going to educate himself on post george floyd riots?

i think positional value is real and the lions invested a lot of money and high picks in lower value positions. but i think barnwell is wrong. he doesnt really know the lions and only has a cursory knowledge of their players. they have more talent at edge than he gives them credit for, and gibbs is a multifacted offensive player who can play as much receiver as running back. as for the linebacker and db issue, he does have a point on the lions spending a ton of money and capital on anzalone and campbell, but he seems to fall into the trap of assuming draft picks are made to play next year. campbell will eventually replace anzalone and should be an upgrade on rodriguez. his point on the deals cjgj and mosely signed seems to be grasping at straws (that they werent as values around the league seeing as how their contracts were so low).

barnwell taps the lions with the 5th worst offseason in the nfl. he says they used their resources poorly and prioritized low value positions like rb, safety, and off ball linebackers. this was the offseason to improve at more valuable positions like edge and they didnt do it.

stetson bennett never graduated after 6 years in "school"? lol.

now the reports are that we offered williams a contract and he turned it down. and that troy wants kevin ollie.... the guy no one else wants (including our owner) is our gms #1 choice.

72 points was enough to win an nba game.

that's the type of guy they need to hit on. they need a lombardi or a mazur to develop into a top 6 guy. since it looks like theyre getting shut out of stars, they're going to have tonwin with depth like seattle did this year or carolina seems to do.

he almost broke dylan larkin's neck once.
