[quote]Do you know the windfall of assets that pick could have gotten them? They could have even traded back and still gotten him.[/quote] What do you think they could have got? Penix was projected top 15-20 everywhere I looked. So they couldn't go back more than 5-6 spots and still be assured...

[quote]No reason to play him Monday when we are down 3-0[/quote] Or what? He hurts his hamstring more and only has 6 months to recover?...
[quote]don’t move off Ingram this offseason this franchise is doomed.[/quote] Crazy take, but I'd like us to move on from our current big 3 and build around Jones/Murphy. I wouldn't mind a slight step back while reloading our coffers and extending our window. Zion had a great year and I love...

[quote]This is a horrible draft to do this. [/quote] There are going to be good pros that come from this draft. Sarr is highly touted and has a high ceiling. We wouldn't need him to make a large impact early. It would probably take him time before he can contribute. That's why we could get him an...

I would take the pick. That would give us #18 and #21 (after the swap with Bucks). We have to move either Ingram or Murphy this summer. I'd package one of those guys, the 2 1sts and Daniels for the 1st pick of the draft. I'd draft Sarr, who is a perfect fit next to Zion, especially in a few years. ...

I hope so. I'm in Vegas and put money on a parlay where we win and Zion has a big game. I don't care if I win, as long as the team does. But it'd be nice to get both.....

I would think UK fans would support a former player, especially one that was a captain a championship team, coming back to lead the squad. It might be underwhelming, but he's had a solid progression. Given additional resources, he should be able to be a consistent winner. It's similar to what Duke ...
[quote]Bo Jackson is an anomaly[/quote] Jim Brown was 6'2 and weighed 235lbs. He was also incredibly fast and powerful. I think most great RBs would translate to today's game pretty well.....

Is Doncic the MVP this year? He is putting up insane numbers. He is going to lead the league in scoring and finish 2nd is assists. His team is surging. They have won 14 out of the last 15 games he's played in. They should win 50 games and have a chance at the 4th seed. I just think he has a grea...
[quote]Pretty sure Willie's low pay had to do with his lack of experience and the fact we were still paying Gentry and Van Gundy when we hired him. [/quote] That makes sense. But shouldn't expectations be in line with that?...
[quote]In the words of Shel, it ain’t my money so who cares[/quote] They obviously couldn't or didn't want to pay more for a coach in the previous search. So they went with a young, unproven coach who they could sign for limited years at a super low salary. Do we know that they can spend like a t...
[quote]Fire Willie, hire Dan Hurley.[/quote] Hurley makes 5M a year and just got an almost 2M bonus for winning the title. It would probably take 8M+ to get him and at least 4 years if not 5. So you'd give Hurley a 5y/45M deal? Green made less than 5M the past 3 years. Maybe that was due ...
I have tried to find full lists of all the coaches. But it was reported that Green makes 1.2M a year in salary. The lowest I could find for anyone else is 2M. But I can't find full lists and I don't want to search team by team. Especially since it doesn't look like all of the salaries are publicly r...

I finally saw the movie last night and I was pleasantly surprised. It was a lot of fun, with some great action. A bit quirky and stylized, but I liked it. I don't remember it being talked about much.....
[quote]Apparently his prime was in the 80s when he was still behind the Iron Curtain. Hubie Brown and the old heads talk about him as if he were Keyser Soze back then.[/quote] He is one of the reasons we ended up sending pros in the Olympics. Sabonis dominated David Robinson in 88 and we didn't w...

Larry Johnson. He averaged 22/11/4 his 2nd season and was 2nd team all-pro. He was poised to become one of the stars of the league. Then he hurt his back and was never the same. He was a shell of what he was before. He's still the best college player I've ever seen.. ...

I don't know what to think about this past episode. It's frustrating watching people cry all the time. I just can't feel sympathy for Mark. He has the greatest gifts ever and he can't cope. I just don't get it. What are they trying to get us to feel? ...
[quote]You shite on Zion[/quote] That didn't happen. [quote]then act like Green has done a great job this year[/quote] Yes. I believe he has had a great year. [quote]is not 50 games under .500. [/quote] You are right, 45 games under is not the same thing as 50. But he's still never ha...
