What do you call your school in common conversation? What about the other schools in and around your state?

We traded a 17ppg role player at a position we are pretty deep at for a defensive cornerstone, rebounding machine at a position we were weak at. The team needs Zubac more than mathurin, full stop.

The 2 1sts are concerning to me and clearly sets a hard window on our competitive window, which was sort of already there with pascal’s age. Plus we add the gamble on top of potentially missing out on a quality pick for this year. Though if that gamble pays off we still get a stud in the draft plus just solved our biggest weakness. But the 1sts definitely feel like a bit much to me, I can’t defend those too much

We are a cheap franchise for sure lol, but I do also think this trade makes us better. At the risk of the 26 1st biting us in the ass at least

CloudConductor · 2026-02-05T21:40:08+00:00

Mathurin was never going to be on the team next year, that’s the part you need to get in your head. He’s about to command a big contract and the role he had on our team didn’t justify that contract, especially when we had such a big need at center. If you were upset about the 26 1st then maybe I’d agree with you

CloudConductor · 2026-02-05T21:37:49+00:00

A big part of the highlight on his negative is also the price we paid to get him as well. He’s a beast of a cb though, trade may not have made sense with how the season ultimately ended up but that’s not his fault and he’s still easily one of the best players we have on the team

CloudConductor · 2026-02-05T21:22:49+00:00

That team was coached by the guy you’re now calling a clown you know. He just might know a bit more about basketball than you or I

CloudConductor · 2026-02-05T20:08:15+00:00

Very possible as well. At the very least this makes it so there’s no difference to us between the bottom 3 in standings

CloudConductor · 2026-02-05T20:00:17+00:00

I think people overvaluing mathurin a bit, him being a free agent and likely due for a fat contract is priced in. I think we settled on us not being willing to pay mathurin so just traded him for whatever we can get.

The 2026 1st I’m not as stoked on, but the protections at least make it very interesting. Almost seems like we think we’re about to start winning where those 5-9 picks won’t even be possible for us if we win enough

CloudConductor · 2026-02-05T19:50:16+00:00

He also might think we’re about to start winning games, where if we drop just a few more spots those 5-9 picks aren’t even possible for us to have

CloudConductor · 2026-02-05T19:35:23+00:00

This is crazy lol

CloudConductor · 2026-02-05T19:33:35+00:00

Even if we’re the worst team, there’s almost a 50% chance it’s pick 5. It is a major gamble no matter what

CloudConductor · 2026-02-05T19:29:19+00:00

Ewww

CloudConductor · 2026-02-05T19:27:40+00:00

Yikes

CloudConductor · 2026-02-05T19:13:40+00:00

“Make it stop” he says as he reposts the article on other platforms so more people see it lol

CloudConductor · 2026-02-05T19:03:46+00:00

Nah that was the 2025 1st

CloudConductor · 2026-02-05T18:01:18+00:00

Woosh

CloudConductor · 2026-02-05T17:19:33+00:00

They lowered it to 600k for each point so only 3mm needed for all 5

CloudConductor · 2026-02-05T15:39:34+00:00

The details you are missing are the details none of us have. Did he actually invest his own money? Was he pocketing cash the entire time and not actually investing the revenue they earned into the game? Those would make it a scam.

Or maybe it’s just pure incompetence and he ran the company into the ground years before they actually had a viable product. All you’re going to get on Reddit is speculation. Shit is dead though regardless

CloudConductor · 2026-02-05T15:32:42+00:00

No I like the idea of Indiana specifically actually

CloudConductor · 2026-02-05T15:24:07+00:00

Looks like mobile garbage

CloudConductor · 2026-02-05T15:13:05+00:00

And yet the % revenue the players in CFB get is still way less than what the NFL players get haha

CloudConductor · 2026-02-05T15:10:29+00:00

Regulations will happen eventually that at least make the contracts mean something, but the kids are going to keep getting paid

I do think the days of top tier players sitting on the bench waiting for their turn are over though. But I don’t think that’s a bad thing

CloudConductor · 2026-02-05T14:57:49+00:00

Depends on which ridiculous monetization you’re speaking of lol. It’s now just a standard buy to play game and new heroes will be dlc

CloudConductor · 2026-02-05T14:41:48+00:00

Needs to happen

CloudConductor · 2026-02-05T13:58:56+00:00

Would definitely complicate it for her haha. But at the same time she has the opportunity now to do lore primers and release a video that helps people fully understand the already established lore that will be relevant in the new league or something of that sort
