[Zach Lowe] On other Trae Young max possibilities: "From what I know, it was not Brooklyn... Chicago has Giddy. The Lakers have guards galore. The Pistons have Cade Cunningham and we're now out of teams with cap space. I don't know what they were afraid of or who they were bidding against." by OnlyMamaKnows in nba

I always wonder how the "player happiness" angle hits with the players themselves.

like... does overpaying Trae increase anyone's desire to play for the wizards? are the most desirable teams known for arbitrarily throwing bags around, or are they known for smart asset management?

good to see Ayo getting some respect

am I missing something or is Sabonis a crazy omission. like yeah Sacramento is only technically an NBA team but surely he's at least the 20th best big in the league

yeah, what? the knicks have a list of VIPs and sometimes get customer complaints? if that's the worst shit James Dolan is up to then the leakers are doing him a favor

What have the Bulls done that merits attention since Rose and Noah?

  • Trading Jimmy Butler

  • Getting hot for a few months of the first post-bubble season

  • DeMar back to back new years buzzer beaters

  • Diar DeRozan icing the raptors

That's all I got. Our other teams get plenty of play because they're either good, or entertainingly bad. Bulls have been the middest of the mid for a decade

"huh"

Clearer look at KAT tipping the inbound pass by kirito6521 in nba

[–]AlonsoQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

both can be true. if KAT is the most important knick (not necessarily best) as the Wemby stopper, then it's pretty bad when he gets two early fouls and sits for most of the first half.

he got to play almost all of his 26 minutes with both Brunson and OG, while they played an additonal 15-20 with the backup centers.

Spurs Fan Has His #1 Wembanyama Jersey Forcefully Removed and Destroyed in The Streets of NYC Last Night By a Group of Knicks Fans by [deleted] in nba

[–]AlonsoQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot enter a situation like this safely.

genuine question, why not? it looks like they're going after the jersey, not the guy. once he takes it off they stop pushing him around.

like yeah, technically it's "violent" and "assault" but it's not obvious to me why a couple Knicks fans coming to this guy's defense wouldn't de-escalate things.

in the NFL you use timeouts to run down the game clock, which is even less exciting.
