this is all true; where we disagree is that you said everyone is being naive and that every other team does this. i think this is particularly...
the narrative may end up being the biggest problem--something ballmer knows all too well. like, what if the clips won a title with leonard...
yeah, i believed those reports at the time, but because the lakers made the claims, it was supposedly just sour grapes. ok, sure. you can see...
i think this is it. i fully believe pat riley has been paying guys in illegal ways, but he always made sure there wasn't a clear paper trail (and...
clips claim this is "provably false". what does that even mean? is their contention that all of these documents are forgeries? that the sources...
uh...yeah...this is insane if true and should carry some pretty serious consequences. imagine if we'd done this. the luka trade would get...
really hate the forced "situationship" framing, but the piece is just making the same point lots of us have: you can't just max out older players...
i think between gabe and smart's absences/injuries, he'll get some chances. i don't expect him to wow in year two, but he'll look steadier. if...
i actually don't know and don't think it's a guy on the radar now. if i had to pick a name now it would be ant, but i don't think he'll play...
yeah, people laughed when i said i thought luka was our target a couple years ago. and granted, the way it happened wasn't at all how i thought,...
probably. but lebron/ant/steph/healthy kawhi/durant probably competes pretty well. lebron/steph/kd really murder international competition.
yeah, the three best players in the nba are not american. i guess 4, as sga is canadian. but i wonder if you then counted all the way down to 50...
[IMG] my friend's dad loved googs. mostly for the obvious reasons. yeah, that was just people trying to find reasons to process the trade, i...
the culture is different, but it's also why you don't see these guys switching teams like the americans, imo. i believe luka when he said he...
again, i'm really not sure this is what's happening. it's what people say is happening, but i think they're preserving to preserve, tbh. if they...
players should flock to play with luka, but i'm not sure if they will. i think it's hard for stars to play off a guy like that, and he's foreign,...
this is a more concise version of what i've been trying to say: 1. our actual plans are probably not known to anyone outside a small group of...
not hindsight bias. check the receipts. i (and some others) knew grant was overrated and portland was asking way too much. we didn't have the...
i think we'd have done dalton/1st/swap for ellis if it were possible already, tbh. it's basically the mark williams offer. i might throw the...
to me, the 2027 plan was always a media invention. i'm sure rob or others within the organization said we're trying to keep the books as clean as...
