    Some interesting stuff in there. 4 takeaways from the ESPN-YouTube TV deal

    Is it just me or do those 4 pictures give a strong 60's vibe?

    I think your argument would be stronger if Ivey and Duren were locked up on long term deals. But both are headed to restricted free agency this summer, and that lowers their value. Markkanen is Utah's biggest trade chip right now. If you trade him for a package built around Duren, you have basically just committed yourself to matching any offer he gets this summer. What if some team throws a $35 million offer at him? You really want to pay Jalen Duren $35 million a year? The alternative is let him walk and now you turned Markkenan into a handful of draft picks in the 20's. Picks you will never make because you are about to get fired. I agree that Robinson's contract has value, but not to a team like Utah he is under the cap. You would be better off looking at contenders for him. Teams looking to get under one of the aprons or luxury tax penalty. But I don't know if they can afford to lose his shooting. Maybe they can move him this summer.

    A rebuilding team would take McCain from Philly over anything Detroit has. He looked good in a short time as a rookie last year, and more important, has 3 1/2 more years on a cheap contract. Portland has a bunch of picks they could throw at Utah. Including the possibility of an unprotected Milwaukee pick in 2028 and the right to swap picks with Milwaukee in 2029. Those could be valuable if Giannis bolts. Rollins is locked up for $4 million per year for another 2 1/2 years. Utah would take him over Ivey/Duren/Holland. Not sure Milwaukee would trade him, but they might to try and appease Giannis. You get the point.

    No legit contenders. They won't risk a third of their cap space on a guy that will only play 60% of their games. So Houston is a no. Plus, they should focus more on a PG type. Atlanta pairing KP and Markkanen? Jesus, you would be lucky to get 100 games played combined from them. It will be a team that is between a 5th seed and somewhere around the playin level. A team that needs to take a big risk to take that next step. Milwaukee, Philly, Chicago, Toronto, Phoenix, Portland, Clippers, maybe Sacramento. Teams like that, probably.

    How the Pistons stacked up last week. Numbers are from Sun-Sat.

    With a .077 win rate, Indiana is on pace to win 6 games this season.
  9. Deleterious
    That is a poplar guess. Fultz is another, and I guess Bol Bol started 30ish games for them that year. So probably one of those three.

    Anyone who could give them a possible lottery pick. So, about half of the league. The Pistons picks will hopefully be in the 20's for the foreseeable future. They have some value, but not all first round picks are created equal. What young players can the Pistons offer? Thompson is the only one with real value, and I'm not interested in moving him. Ivey? He has been hurt so long now we don't know what he is. He needs an extension this summer, which decreases his value. Duren? Rim running centers that don't play defense do not have a lot of value. Even if you disagree, Utah already has a center, one that plays defense and protects the rim. One that has more value IMO. Duren also needs a new contract, which decreases his value. Holland? He is a throw in piece at this point, not a central figure in a big trade. Toss in the fact Ainge is a bastard to deal with in trades. He wants $1.10 on the dollar for his assets.

    In your address bar type: about:config there will be another empty address bar up top. In it search for: widget.non-native-theme.win.scrollbar.use-system-size Make sure that value is set to false Then again in the address bar search for: widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override there will be a number for the value. Just enter whatever you want, higher being wider.

    As a program, Michigan can be top 10. Not sure Moore is the guy to do that, though.
  18. Deleterious
    $50 million per year for the next 3 1/2 years, or about a million per game played. They don't have enough to get him anyway.
  19. Deleterious
    Lakers might have something here with Bronny. They are now 1-0 in games he started. Yeah, he only played 9 minutes and scored 0 points on 0-2 shooting, but so what.
  20. Deleterious
    Pretty gutsy from Georgia going for the onside kick up 11 at the start of the 4th.
  21. Deleterious
    Will Lane Kiffin get beat by the team about to hire him?

    The big question is whether this will carry over to the playoffs, and I’m still skeptical. Playing hard every game is great in the regular season, especially with all the travel and back-to-back games where we know teams and players don’t push every night. If your team really does play hard every game, that becomes a big advantage, and the Pistons are clearly benefiting from that right now. But in the playoffs, everyone plays hard every single game because the games matter more, you get two or three days off between matchups, and you may only travel once a week with plenty of rest in between. That’s where the lack of shooting shows up, along with the lack of a true second option to help Cade. I just hope management doesn’t look at the record and assume the roster is set. They still need to stay aggressive and improve the team’s overall talent level for the playoffs.
