re: Cure (1997)

I absolutely loved this movie. I’m glad this got posted. I saw it on Blu-ray which had surprisingly great quality, you can watch it in lesser quality on the National internet archive for free here:

Dunn can't shoot or dribble, and on top of that he's a 52% FT shooter through 2 years in college. I"m sorry but i dont understand how someone who plays basketball can be that shitty at sh...

[quote]Ryan Dunn[/quote]
Dunn is a guy I’ve been intrigued by for a bit now, but not sure I’d want to take him at 21.
No surprise we are working him out. He screams pelicans guy and he fits that Herb/Dyson mold. Wing over 6’6+ with a 7’1 wingspan. Can’t shoot a lick, but damn can that dude de...

[quote]Fox would be first for me[/quote]
Same. Offensively Trae is probably a better fit, but overall I think it would be much easier to build a winning team around the Fox/Zion fit.
Moving on from Fox might make the most logical choice, but I don’t think the Kings are ready to do that yet. T...

[quote]Yes they would. OO is 3 years younger and can play the 4 while Mobley plays the 5, and also is on a lower contract long term where Allen will need an extension after this year and doesn’t fit with Mobley.[/quote]

I’m going to chalk this up to just off-season delirium setting in, but people wanting Lavine aren’t thinking clearly. He’s in discussions as one of the worst contracts in the league.
Lavine is a 29 year old with career leg injuries to his knees, ankles, and is coming off season ending foot surge...

[quote]FG% against within 6', defensive 3P%, and eFG% on Isolation plays, [/quote]
All those are good and important, but you’re missing contest percentage. A center allowing 50% at the rim, doesn’t matter if he is only contesting 20% of the shots. For example, earlier in the year, Duren was allow...

[quote]Would have enough left to sign a minimum and draft at #21 to get it to 14 and under the tax. I'd still draft a 5 and hope he can be a player and you can either trade Larry at the deadline or just let him go in the offseason. That plus the cap bump lets you resign Trey/Isaac/Jose with about $...

[quote]Not really. We could make all those things happen with BI, Nance and Dyson.
Cavs: Capella, Dyson
Hawks: Ingram, Nance, Niang, picks
Pels: Trae, Allen

re: The Official Trade Proposal Thread
Posted by Baron on 5/24/24 at 12:26 pm
A lot of these proposed trades don’t take future salary into consideration enough. We need to clear enough salary to get a new 5 and to pay Trey as well. So if we move BI and Larry to get Trae, we are essentially forced to move CJ for a 5 due to not having many other options for matching salary.
