Hollinger certainly knows more about the NBA than me, but Wiseman is 21 (!) and has played 3, 39, 0, and 21 games his last for years. Lots of guys never really get better, but the idea that the cake is baked at 21 always bothers me. (Grant Hill was at Duke at 21.) If you are going to have teenagers in the NBA, you have to find some patience which Det can offer.

good article from GSW beat writer in The Athletic. Wiseman came into a difficult situation where championships mattered more than his development - and he did not play his one college year, then covid, then injuries, and he was forever behind. He looks like a low IQ player in Kerr's system. Lots of guys would. Let's see if that continues. Personally, I will say Wiseman at his best is better than Bey at his best, even in today's NBA. last graph: Wiseman will go to Detroit, free from the dynastic pressure he always felt with the Warriors, and maybe he will have a great NBA career. I hope he does. I think it’s possible. But the time had run out on Wiseman’s Warriors career, complete with a sigh of relief from all sides, I’m pretty sure.

I am literally laughing so much my wife came to check on me. What a disaster. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

could be that Weaver is using reverse karma to trick KarWilt into giving us the 1st pick: We don't need Wenbamyama. We have all the bigs we need. Don't need him. Happy to ride with Bagley.
-
more players - keep 'em coming
-
Weaver is going to have 8 bigs, all who can't hit the 3

selling low on Bey while not selling high on BB makes no sense
-
Bey for Wiseman feels very "we did something rather than nothing"

Santana (9th last year) only made his "Others" list. Admittedly, Cristian's numbers were not that good at Lakeland, which he is set to repeat. Last year he included Eric de la Rosa, Eli Afonso and Austin Bergner in his Top 20, which is not a dig at Law, but just pointing out how difficult it is to know who will make it.

What if I told you Al Avila is the one who acquired over 80% of those deck chairs? Would that help? No, I guess not.

I know he will never play a second for them but I would fly to Utah to see Westbrook suit up for the Jazz.

Some random numbers with one week to go before pitchers and catchers report: 1934 – 1st year the Tigers played in Lakeland .441 – Hinch’s 2 year winning percentage with the Tigers .632 - the 2022 Tigers had a .632 OPS, the worst team mark in 120 years 37% - Tigers finished last in team HRs, and lost players who accounted for 37% of total 0 – number of major league free agents Harris signed to help the offense $17,000,000.00 - the 2023 Tigers are on pace to have a payroll $17M less than 2022 $40,000,000.00 – Tigers owe Miggy $32M for 2023 + $8M buyout for 2024 2023 – early prediction for 2023 team MVP: Regressionto Themean (IF/OF)

I LOL'ed. Like a unemployed brother-in-law in your basement. “He’s still with us,” said Ryan Garko

the Feliciano one is great; super bitter at the Brewers after reading those pieces, you think it will hard for them to lose one game this year!

FG on Lange; https://blogs.fangraphs.com/alex-lange-loves-his-curves-but-not-his-edges/

trading Nick (who could have gotten a better return at the time) and keeping Saurez would have changed so much; c'est la vie
-
FG has Baltimore's top 38 prospects list out. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/baltimore-orioles-top-38-prospects-2023/ O's have zoomed past the Tigers at both the major and minor league levels.

madness. because the FF would never take a musket away from Jebediah, we are not allowed to take guns away from domestic abusers in 2023. illogical on every level.

2 weeks from today pitchers and catchers report.

a healthy Vaitai seems to be a better guard than Evan Brown, but Brown is more versatile, and Ragnow has consistently missed some games. I would pick Brown over Vaitai, but maybe that is not the right question. Is the assumption they won't bring back both?

I have not read the whole article but was surprised by how often positive Law was about lots of guys, sometime gushing about their potential. Always best to bet against guys because most of them will fail/flail.
