i think where i get stuck is...who's giving this to him? even though i'm a big fan and could argue his production gets near warranting it (not...
the answer is surrounding luka with at least three athletes. one could argue we currently have zero. nobody wants to hear it, but 40 year old...
none of them interest me at the real cost of the MLE. it hard caps you at the first apron. the mle number is about 15 this year, the first apron...
fair point. fox was more proven at the time. and it's not like he's multiple tiers below fox. but yeah, you'd think that the folks who saw them...
yeah, i'll need to see it. i just keep seeing teams re-up their guys at just over mle to avoid losing an asset for nothing, rendering the mle...
mostly agree, though i'd put POA over wing defender in the needs hierarchy. mobile center/lob threat that is better than hayes is priority #1....
minny is about the full MLE's amount under the 2nd apron. that's with reid and randle at their current numbers (15 and 30, respectively). it...
do the data really support this? i'd argue that for the most part, teams use bird right to cut just over the mle for top-7 type players (like...
you think so? i'm not sure the mle market is going to have a top-8 playoff rotation player in it that won't be available at tpmle. but we'll...
that's my thought, too. i'd throw in knecht or a 1st, too. i just don't think portland goes for that until they exhaust upgrade options using...
i don't love ddv as much as most, but NAW is a POA defender. we could start him at pg because we have luka and lebron. this could allow us to...
if he opts in, i think that means he thinks there's a good chance this is it. which makes sense. and beyond the mle stuff, it affects...
uh, sharpe? he and clingan are their untouchables, imo. camara and avdija fit nicely with them, too. i agree with svtzr that as much as i (in...

he's kind of a 6'10" westbrook in some regards (role wise, not mentality wise). you have to contort the rest of your roster so much that only a...
may have mentioned this elsewhere, but it turns about the two centers thing wasn't the formula--sitting brunson for defensive reasons was! the...
yeah, i think the dlo bridge is burned. and i'm ok with that. reaves has shown he can do a lot of dlo stuff (save handle against POA pressure)...
i love vando, but i've come to believe he's probably not playable in some playoff series. if he's healthy, he's still a huge regular season...
yup. you need perfect health and some continuity in system/personnel. you can't do much about the former, but you can work on the latter and...
yeah, i only caught the late third and fourth quarter, but it seemed fairly even to me--and i complain about the refs a lot. what no one wants to...
