[quote]Would cost a lot and then be a 1 year rental [/quote] Yea feels like if Cleveland deals him it’s because he’s made it know he’s heading to New York....
[quote]Jones and Murphy came from the same draft class. Jones has massively outperformed him (Jones is a finalist for DPOY). They play the same position and role. Murphy is more than likely going to be his back up. But you want to pay Murphy more than double on the hope that he becomes a 20+ppg benc...
Without Z to collapse the defense we have nobody who could really go by their perimeter defender. Obviously Tyrese Maxey is unattainable but that *type* of player would do wonders for our team...
[quote]am conflicted on this. I couldn't rationalizing giving Murphy 25M+, when Jones is getting 13M. That doesn't make sense.[/quote] This is like wondering why Ant Edwards makes less than Bradley Beal…they aren’t in the same contract situation. The CBA limits the salary some players can sign at...

I know it’s easy to be a negative about Griff not making changes rn but the last 40 games of this season have made it blatantly obvious what needs to be done. The health excuse no longer holds water. We saw what a Pels team with all 3 healthy looks like, and it’s a good, not great team. Add in th...
[quote]Probably unpopular take but I’m more annoyed about us taking Hawkins over guys like Whitmore and Podz. I think Willie would have played these two more than Hawkins in the second half of the season.[/quote] Hawkins being an oldish college player who can’t get on the floor for us is not good...

There is literally no combination of Nance/JV minutes or “team chemistry” that would have won the Pels this series. Our best player was hurt and #2 and #3 played like shite. You just can’t overcome that sort of thing....
I think people understate the desperation of other teams this offseason, plus the lack of other all-star(ish) players and the need for wing play. Detroit in particular seems to me like a team that is embarrassed by their Uber-shittyness this season and will be looking to take chances to improve. ...

In a 10 team I'm staying put and taking Nabez, in 12+ teams due to QB scarcity I'd probably trade back and take a QB. ...
[quote]I said many moons ago this Pelicans team was a 58 win team being held back by a coach.[/quote] Pels wouldn’t win 58 games as currently constructed with Red Auerbach on the sidelines. Come on now....
The debate over whether McMahon has talent or not is pointless. That’s part of his job description. He’s responsible for the play on the court, period. Atrocious 1st year in a very tough situation Mediocre 2nd year It’s time for a good team in year 3. Make the tournament or get damn close t...
Using BPR as your preferred way to rate a player and then mentioning that it rated Dalton Knecht 6th on his own team is not exactly helping your argument…clearly this efficiency stat does not scale well with varying usage rates...
[quote]It's just funny that the bar for bball is so low; a UT-Martin transfer is a "huge" get.[/quote] [quote]Is a transfer from UT Martin going to be an impact player in the SEC? I doubt it. It’s an improvement, but going into year three I expect more.[/quote] This is such a dead giveaway th...
He's good. Would like him at LSU but it will be a bidding war imo...
Didn’t like to practice hard under Kirby Maybe we take him as a talent bet but he hasn’t really shown to be a culture fit so far in his college career...
[quote]Ah the old "Bama just tosses up threes to win" mindset. Oats runs an NBA offense.[/quote] Yes, his philosophy is similar to that of the best team in the NBA, the Celtics. They shoot a ton of 3's. Only difference is that Bama has had inconsistent defensive rosters...some years they lack a l...

[quote]Housing allowance being good depends on where you live. $1,600 per month won't get you a 2 bedroom apartment in most cities.[/quote] They're being paid ~175k for 8 months as a salary to supplement the housing stipend if needed. I'm sure some of the younger single guys may live together and...
[quote]Great .. an unathletic guard …[/quote] Weird comment. Averaging 5 boards a game as a 6’3” guard in the big 12 means he’s either a good athlete, tough as shite, or both. ...
