Devin Booker career arc was pointed way way up and now he is a forgotten star. Suns are in 2nd apron hell.

The Beal trade and his non trade clause was the dumbest move ever

I dunno. The Durant trade was pretty f—-ing stupid. 4 picks, 3 swaps, Bridges, Johnson for a washed up diva? Dumb fuckery.

____ Booker Bridges Johnson ____. Could you imagine what they could have built around that with all their picks and a little patience? Slim Reaper fucked that team hard.

Magic down 17 with under 7 to go in the 4th complete the comeback and beat the Nets. More circumstantial evidence for Thibs to keep his starters in games with big leads!

Kudos to that depleted Magic team

Pacers just beat Boston.

Boston is 23-9, Knicks are 22-10. Cavs 27-4 and still king of east.

That is all.

Nets pull their starters in the 3rd period?
Boston like all teams hit spots in the season.
Indy not a bad roster, they just have not figured they're shit out.
We gonna lose stupid games also.
Anyone notice Philly like winning a lot more than losing the last 10 games or so?
That three together healthy is formidable. Until they go down, they are a threat.
Embiid public enemy no. 1 but if he healthy is top 3 player in the league.

I know, "they won't stay healthy". I hate them also. But they not dead until they are dead!

Overvalues gunslingers.

And low post scoring. His draft strategy is somewhat sound. I wonder how much input,if any, he had with Dunn drafting. Definitely the type of player he targeted with the Knicks

In the draft Isiah always preached "long and athletic." Got himself an Ariza and Chandler (and also a Balkman- who I was a big fan of, but other might call a bust). The Frye-Robinson-Lee vaunted first round trio eschewed his normal. Frye had size, but wasn't athletic. Robinson was athletic, but had no length to speak of. Lee was also a very good athlete but was undersized at the 4/5. All 3 had nice careers though.

Anyway Dunn has a pretty similar profile to Balkman.

Jeez Raptors without RJ lose 125-71 to the Celtics

Cooper Flagg on Wizards would be so much fun to watch with their other kids, and hopefully dampen their odds at keeping the 2026 pick

VDesai @ 1/2/2025 10:05 AM
For the draft, keep an eye on Rasheer Fleming. 3 and D stretch 4 from St. Joes's. His skillset is perfect for us and what we want to do off the bench. Gets blocks, steals, dunks and 3's - kind of like OG.

Was has us drafting a guy who's comp is Bargnani in the second round. I'm just going to chalk this mock up to being an early first draft.

Shucks, Detroit been playing well recently too.
