no on karlsson. too much money for too long. by the end of that deal we should hopefully be ready to compete and karlsson will be ready to retire.

and then we take gradey! because any plan that has us drafting him and having del wear a jersey with the word d*ck on it is worth the price.

25 games for ja morant.

nobody would do that. maybe moriah mills, but no one else.

i dont think i would do this.

dont jinx it! sheesh!

just dfa him already.

please let it be houston. heck, please let it be portland!

givony and the athletic's latest mocks have us taking whitmore. givony also has miller above scoot in his rankings.

the list is contingent on who gave up the information. u$c is a private school.

and none of the buildings in st louis are built to withstand an earthquake. its a disaster waiting to happen.

neither will orlando. but florida doesnt have the largest fault line in the country running right through the middle of it like st louis does...

those two teams in LA that dont sell out make more money than the st louis rams did. now that vegas has a team, i dont know how many more cities could support an nfl team. austin, san antonio, orlando, st louis, portland. chicago could probably support a second team.

st louis is a dying city in a dying part of the country. they'd put another team in texas or florida before st louis. they'd put a team in london or mexico city before that.

that sounds a lot more credible than mcs's usual overreaction sports radio take. 😉

scoot. zion is an incredible talent, but he's fat and hurt. the porn star thing is more funny than anything else, but the real issue is the image of him doing 360 dunks in pre game but not being willing to play during a play in game. how many bad looks can one guy have in a career? and he's only been in the league for a few years! but that talent...

a lot of the tigers hitters are also on a bat delay.

grant was the ultimate ball stopper when he was here. however, iirc, as cade grew in confidence, grant began to take on a more secondary role, which is what he is best at.

the difference between whitmore and stanley is that whitmore is an elite nba athlete right now and stanley was never an elite nba athlete. whitmore's an elite finisher now and stanley was not. the iq thing is probably an issue, but he's very young still. if anyone reminds me of stanley its walker. a tweener who is strong and doesnt have great shooting fundamentals. a guy who could be too slow to guard 3s and too small to guard 4s in a way that stanley was too slow to guard 2s and too unathletic to guard 3s.

just to make it more fun, they trade back into round 1 by getting pittsburgh's #14 pick in exchange for taking on mikael granlund's contract and #31. they then take sammy honzek. that would be just about a perfect draft scenario.

i would make that trade.

pronman's latest mock has us trading 9 and 17 to montreal for 5 and 31 and then has us taking michkov.

where did you hear this?

cause weaver wanted ollie. that's what all the reporting hints at.

hendricks: MMARY I love Hendricks going to a team that is well-situated in terms of shot creation and thus could allow him to come along more slowly in that respect. He’s a ways off from being able to impact the game as a ballhandler or creator, but Hendricks possesses the kind of 3-and-D game that could be a real difference-maker to teams that need those skills. And almost every team with an established hierarchy of stars needs those skills. Hendricks is 6-foot-9 in shoes, he’s long and switchable, and he defends the rim well from the weak side. He has potential to be an awesome pick-and-roll defender due to his versatility, and his length will take up a larger portion of the court than the normal run-of-the-mill wing prospect. The number of players 6-foot-9 or taller who enter the league as plus defenders and plus shooters is extremely minimal. It’s Jabari Smith Jr., Franz Wagner, Trey Murphy III and Jaren Jackson Jr. since 2018. That’s why Hendricks is going to hear his name called in the lottery. It’s hard to see how this skill set fails, even with his faults. He does the three most important things a role player in the NBA can do: He shoots it well off the catch, he defends well in space and he plays well within help defensive concepts. Throw in that he’s still a teenager with real upside, and you shouldn’t be surprised if he hears his name called in the top 10.
