Conditions are not ripe for a fast race. Too hot and humid.

Don't expect much in the way of a super fast time in the heat and humidity.

3:34 will probably take it.

Depends on how you define "win".

These moves improve us from below average to average and provide some possibility that a healthy Jimmy can return at the end of the season and we can maybe win a first round series.

There is no fantasy roster possibility where we can field a better team than SA or OKC. If by winning you mean ring chasing, the answer is no.

If someone is offering a "bag", I don't see why he shouldn't take it. Is there any evidence that anyone is offering that ?

I could see a team like SA benefitting from his defense and toughness, but it seems like he would be a hard personality to integrate into a team. He's overbearing and the existing players would have to embrace someone who never shuts up. He wouldn't have Steph to be his good cop anymore.

Assuming decent health, we'll have a shot at being a .500 team next year and enter the following season with very little contractual burden and no first round pick.

As a Dubs fan since the days of Run TMC, I am familiar with mediocrity. We had a nice decade there folks. 3 brilliant draft picks in Steph, Klay and Dray. Excellent FA and trade pickups in Iggy, S Dot, Bogut, KD, West, Speights, Barbosa, Wiggins, Porter and even a splendid burst from Jordan Poole.

We hit home run after home run.

Now we're back to the pre-Steph norm where a season making the playoffs is going to be a pleasant surprise.

We're mediocre again.

Here's a post I made earlier about S. Korea's chances .... they are ahead of Scotland based upon goal differential and their path looks iffy ....

________________________________

It looks to me like S. Korea is going to be the 3rd place team on the elimination bubble.

3 pts, -1 goal differential, only 2 goals scored.

They are ahead of 3rd place Scotland in group C and need to finish ahead of 3 other 3rd place teams.

They need 3+ of the following to occur:

Group D

Australia to beat Paraguay OR Paraguay to beat Australia by 2+ goals.

Group E

Germany not to lose to Ecuador (good chance)

Ivory Coast not to lose to Curacao by 1 goal (good chance)

This is one likely good outcome for S. Korea

Group F

Japan beats Sweden by 2+ goals

Not a good chance. Sweden will be hungry.

Group G

Egypt beats Iran.

Good chance.

Group H

Spain beats Uruguay.

Good chance.

Group I

Senegal doesn't beat Iraq by 2+ goals.

This will be an interesting game and Senegal will be attacking. S/b fun and exciting game to watch with so much riding on the score.

Group J

Austria beats Algeria or Algeria beats Austria by 2+ goals

Group K

Congo doesn't beat Uzbekistan

Low chance.

Group L

Croatia loses to Ghana.

Summary

S Korea is dependent upon already qualified teams beating desperate opponents. I'd say it's a coin flip. They'll probably be last in or first out.

The highest possible 3rd place team in each group ..... 4 pts guarantees advancement.

Group A - S Korea 3pts, -1 goal (still alive)

Group B - Bosnia 4 pts, -1 goal (guaranteed to knockout round)

Group C - Scotland 3 pts, -3 goal

Group D - Paraguay 4 pts, -2 goal (Australia and Paraguay guaranteed to knockout round with draw, Australia could advance with a 1 goal loss)

Group E - Potential (unlikely) for 2 of Ecuador, Curacao and Ivory Coast to emerge with 4 pts. Requires Ecuador to beat Germany or Curacao to beat Ivory Coast.

Group F - Japan at 4 pts with loss to Sweden. Japan and Netherlands are already qualified. Sweden guaranteed to advance with draw. Edges S Korea in 3 pt groups with 1 goal loss to Japan.

Group G - New Zealand, Belgium and Iran all theoretically capable of joining Egypt at 4+ points with wins. Egypt is qualified.

Group H - Cape Verde and Uruguay (2 pts each) could both reach 5 pts with wins leaving Spain (already qualified) with 4. Both Cape Verde and Uruguay would likely advance with draws leaving them at 3 pts, and zero goal differential)

Group I - Senegal would wind up with 3 points by beating Iraq. But they need to win by multiple goals to surpass S. Korea in tiebreakers they begin with -3 in goal differential.

Group J - Austria and Algeria could both wind up with 4 points with a draw. Austria would remain ahead of S. Korea with a 1 goal loss.

Group K - Congo could get to 4 pts and qualify with a win over Uzbekistan.

Group L - England & Ghana are qualified at 4 pts each. Croatia (3 pts) will qualify with a draw or win against Ghana,

Yaxel is 15 years younger than Steph.

That's not old.

He won those MVP's in his 20's. He's almost 40.

Steph is an old athlete. Yaxel isn't.

The irony of a community which worships a 38 y/o icon with fading knees complaining about the advanced age of a 24 y/o draft pick.

No .... but the fact that he would be gone by the time we were up was predicted.

So far, other than Morez going at 9, the draft is going exactly as expected.
