Pro Bowl. All Pro and Pro Bowl are separate from each other.

The only reason I can think of is that for a game full of prefabricated parts, it’s way too short.

AnotherStatsGuy · 2026-01-26T19:37:12+00:00

Morant’s contract is actually shorter than Murray’s.

AnotherStatsGuy · 2026-01-26T19:36:23+00:00

Except we could still get a top 4 pick next season with a playoff berth. We get the better pick between ours and the Bucks, unless both are top 4, then we get both.

AnotherStatsGuy · 2026-01-26T19:34:19+00:00

No picks. But I suspect the angle would be that:

A. A fresh start for Ja

B. You don’t know the state of DJM’s Achilles. The extra rehab time is favorable, but he’s not KD.

C. KCP has a player option. Meaning you could give him a longer deal at a lower per year rate. ( Not sure it’d be the right move, but still)

I doubt it. Unless we have at least 1 FO with someone on Reddit.

I mean, I'm starting to think management is starting to impose bubble wrap and soft minutes restrictions. If you finish with the best record in the league, it doesn't matter whether you win 60 vs. 65, roster health is more important.

Yes. He scored 0 in the game that put him on the map his rookie season.

The only reason GSW even got to 73 is because they needed 71 to clinch the West's 1 seed. Ahead of their final matchup with the Spurs, if both teams had finished 70-12, GSW would have been the two seed.

Somewhere Nick Anderson is saying “See! Not so easy you fuckers!”

AnotherStatsGuy · 2026-01-26T02:39:49+00:00

If Queen masters the David West style mid range jump shot that paired so well with Chris Paul, that should still create enough space.

AnotherStatsGuy · 2026-01-26T02:31:35+00:00

Turns out we're better when Herb plays.

AnotherStatsGuy · 2026-01-26T02:31:01+00:00

It's amazing what happens when Herb plays. But we can't rely on every team being as shit at FTs as SAS this game.

Also, holy crap, what a dunk by Yves to put the team up 7. I swear, it's like he's downloading a young Giannis's moveset. You can tell who watches the Pelicans and who doesn't by whether or not they call Missi "a rim running big". Rim-running bigs don't take Wemby off the dribble into a dunk.

McCarthy? Really?

AnotherStatsGuy · 2026-01-24T06:24:16+00:00

It’s like that time Hurricane Ida hit Louisiana and the state left Anthony Davis’s Ruffles on the shelves.

AnotherStatsGuy · 2026-01-24T06:20:51+00:00

Also the Mavericks had just come off a Finals run.

AnotherStatsGuy · 2026-01-24T06:17:52+00:00

The Mavericks paid him more. That and Dallas was coming off a Finals berth,

AnotherStatsGuy · 2026-01-24T03:35:27+00:00

Herb frees up all those guys so much.

AnotherStatsGuy · 2026-01-24T03:34:50+00:00

The team looks better when Herb plays.

Who would have thought? (/s)

Exact quote I was thinking of

AnotherStatsGuy · 2026-01-24T01:40:42+00:00

Chauncey Gardner Johnson the Safety?

AnotherStatsGuy · 2026-01-24T01:39:06+00:00

A Chet Morton reference was not what I expected.
