That’s called posturing because all of the news that came out of the 2nd round for them, Klutch rattling the cage for Garland and what seems like a Cavs leak about Allen being soft to not play with what turned out to be broken ribs, probably made the initial offers lower than they want. ...
[quote]If he’s “not atheltic” and “slow”, what is Clingan? Edey has inches and 20+ lbs on him[/quote] Watch the clips of them from the combine. The contrast between the two was significant, but not in the way the numbers suggest. Edey looked like he was going all out, Clingan looked like he was h...
The good news is at least 4 teams have interest in him. That’s the ones we know about, remember the Bucks getting Jrue came out nowhere. Competition drives up bidding. On top of that you seem to have 3 teams in similar situations with pieces each other can use in Cleveland, Atlanta, and New Orle...

This is why the injuries to Zion and BI have been so frustrating. If those 2 had been healthy the whole time you would have known by then that BI wasn’t a great fit and put him in that trade, which probably is enough to get Fox....

[quote]Going off memory, when we tried to trade for Fox, we were trying to send picks and they wanted BI and Griff shut that down. Think Fox was coming off a down year.[/quote] What I remember is the Kings wanted Sabonis and preferred to keep Halliburton. We got involved hoping to do war chest st...

2 things are very clear - There are advanced craft out there that the US Military, and all known militaries, are completely outclassed by. - The Pentagon and Intelligence agencies have been keeping information about this subject secret from the public and even congress for decades. Senator ...

Pels schedule Zach Edey for workout

[embed]https://twitter.com/ScoopB/status/1796185816479289767[/embed] I know people think the Pels wouldn't want him because of what Willie did with JV, but Edey seems like he could fit into a similar role as JV but he'd be cheaper and not expecting to start....
Shamit threw out an Ingram + pick(s) for Fox swap with the Kings. I hadn't really considered Fox as a target, but Sacramento kind of has the same dynamic going as the Pels only with more desperation because they didn't even make the playoffs with their top 2 guys healthy. Shamit's justification fr...

No, and honestly the Pels should take Capella back in a trade. He’s viewed as a negative asset but would immediately be useful for the Pels. So whatever deal you make is cheaper, and it’s not like Okungwu is the perfect center for the Pels. Use the savings from Capella to get another member of the ...

I don’t think asset accumulation is a sound strategy. The Pels collection of picks wasn’t enough to get Fox or Sabonis. Hoping more picks gets you an All Star or better player later is just that, hope, not a plan. There are 3 All Star caliber guards “available” this summer. Maybe none are perfec...
The identity is the same as it has been since Chris Paul left. You have no high level half court creator so you must be good defensively to generate easy offense in transition. In shape Point Zion with shooters changes that a little, someone like Trae would change that even more and maybe even shi...
[quote]Solid installment especially if you've read Heir to the Empire and watched Rebels[/quote] I haven't read the book, but I strongly recommend watching Rebels as well as the Disney+ playlist they have for Ahsoka Clone Wars episodes.

[quote]Replacing nance's 20 minutes with Kessler immediately makes you better. But that's a partial solution, we need another 10-15.[/quote] The solution at center has always been one of 2 things, a unicorn, or a committee. We aren't getting a unicorn, so we need to cobble together 3 rotation...
He gets info from coaches, but I think it's probably more vibes and reading between the lines than true leaks. Like I doubt Langdon ever told him that he didn't like BI, but I also believe Shamit is probably on solid ground when he says Langdon to Detroit makes BI to Detroit less likely....
[quote]Shamit, who has definitely been plugged in in the past, is pretty adamant that the Pelicans wouldn't trade for Trae.[/quote] Griff's choices might be more limited than he likes. I have a lot of reservations about Garland besides Klutch, but Klutch rattling the saber in Cleveland makes me ...
