Well, it was 3 FRP's outright and the right to swap on 2 more. But Markkanen and Sexton were way better at the time of the trade than Ivey/Holland are now. But Mitchell at the time was a better player than Markkanen is now, and without the injury history. It isn't even necessarily about a better offer. Markkenan has this year and 3 more on his contract. He has never even hinted at wanting out, and has said he believes in what Utah is doing, suggesting he wants to stay. There is no reason to move him, other than he might win them too many games and cause them their 1st round pick this summer (protected 1-8). I think you would have to really wow Ainge with an offer to get him, and that offer Lowe laid out isn't a wow type offer IMO. Of course, Detroit should never trade for Markkenan to begin with. But that is another post.

The gap from OKC's #1 defense to the #2 (PIstons) defense is 6.5 points. The same gap that is between Detroit and the 20th ranked defense. OKC is fantastic right now.

Zach Lowe taking about the Markkenan price on his latest podcast. He said Harris, Ivey, Holland, four first round picks and four first round pick swaps.

A month into the season and the east is right where we thought it would be. With Detroit and Toronto as the top 2 seeds. Right?

A fun box score. All 5 Toronto starters last night scored 16+ points and had 4+ assists. https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/202511190PHI.html

Isn't the bigger question, why do you spend $4 billion a year on players and didn't already have a program to assess/fix biomechanics?

Then people would just bitch about Joe trading Zion for pennies on the dollar. Someone other than Poole is valid. But the cap space was the prize of this trade. No clue if other teams were looking to dump salary and had the matching contracts to do it like Washington did. They were over the luxury tax with or without Queen.
-
That is pretty bad since Brooklyn is actively trying to tank and Sacramento is trying to win.
-
It's still criminal that Dairy Queen does not have a promotional deal with this kid.

Giannis is hurt and they said he will be evaluate in 2-3 weeks. The Pistons play Milwaukee 3 times between now and December 6th.
-
So they shopped him and found out they couldn't get **** for him.

Cavs stealing a page from the Pistons playbook to get back in the game. Not the most talented group out there, but they are flying around and giving great effort. I think Houston was up about 20 and it's down to 7 now

Whata boring game. It almost looks like we're bothering Mitchell by asking him to play today.

The Poole deal was Joe cleaning up the salary cap mess that Griffin left. Believe it or not, NOP was set to enter the luxury tax this season. The entire Poole trade package saved them about $6 million and just snuck them under the luxury tax line. That obviously saved them luxury tax payments, but by being a non-tax paying team, it also made them eligible to receive the payments those teams receive from the luxury tax teams. So they saved $6 million in raw salary + Whatever the luxury tax penalty would have been. And they were eligible for the payout from tax paying teams, which equaled about $11 million for each team. So the trade saved ownership somewhere between $20-$30 million this season. Sometimes you have to eat a **** sandwich.

If he drops one more spot in the draft, maybe we don't end up with Killian. At least we didn't draft Patrick Williams over Okongwu.
-
That is fair. But both conference have recently signed new GoR deals and there was almost no momentum for a super league. The little there was mostly came from ESPN. Both decided to punt on it for the next 10+ years. I think fans are more interested in a super league than the actual football programs are.

Robinson vs last year Beasley Last year, Beasley took 9.3 3PTA's per game and made 3.9 for a 41.6% shooting% Robinson this year is taking 7.3 and making 3.1 for a 41.8% shooting%
