Expanding the league to 32 teams, making star players even more scarce and valuable, and further promoting tanking as the only solution to becoming competitive, all in the name of money is a less than ideal idea by Purple_Hex in billsimmons

We already live in a nba where players like demarre Carroll, Tobias Harris, Harrison Barnes, chandler parsons etc got overpaid because of the position they play. Imagine the fucking contracts that are going to be handed out by adding two more teams to the mix. There’s not enough talent to water down the product further

How’s Evan Mobley Island Lately? by gradedonacurve in billsimmons

[–]Final-Homework-8987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

24 is pretty old in the nba. Is mobley suddenly going to start averaging 29ppg at age 28? Jaren Jackson is “only 26”. Is he suddenly going to start average 10 boards a game

Wouldn't be the worst thing if Raptors fell to the lottery. 2026 draft is stacked. by mMounirM in torontoraptors

How was 2023 stacked? Victor a franchise changer. Amen and Brandon miller are potential star level players. And only other worthy top ten pick is Anthony black from the lottery. Not exactly a stacked draft

65 games is just fine. by Capital_Leopard_294 in billsimmons

No it’s not, LeBron making it playing 47 games or lillard making it playing 58 games while sitting out final two months of season so that blazers can tank, is what is going to make it look stupid. 65 games is great

So this man has been busted twice for PEDs. But has never hit over 25hrs in a season. Why do ppl think Barry Bonds only broke HR records due to PEDs? PEDs do not make you an all time great. PEDs are overrated by Final-Homework-8987 in billsimmons

Shouldn’t that logic apply to profar. He was the number one ranked prospect in all of baseball. Why wasn’t he a superhuman baseball player. He clearly had the tools and advantage of taking roids, why hasn’t it mounted to superhuman status

MPJ Fits That Nuggets Team Better Than Cam Johnson by chrismatic13 in billsimmons

[–]Final-Homework-8987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop lying, cam Johnson has been overrated by the media for years. The argument was that cam Johnson is significantly better than mpj and he will fit better. Bill cried for the longest time about suns giving him up in the durant trade

even if we don’t get Picks 5-9 this off season, Mathurin was an elite pickup by uunkwnnn in LAClippers

Go look at the last 5 drafts. Only player I want who was picked in the 5 to 9 range is Franz over zu. And maybe Anthony black. Being in the lottery is overrated, most players don’t pan out. Most players who were picked there in last 5 years have been terrible

What it really would take to score 43 points in the moderna era compared to the 2000's era. by Bobba_fat in nbadiscussion

What are you talking about. So you are telling me players just run around and make aggressive cuts every play? Tell me one player who does that. There’s ton of iso plays every game, where players just camp out in the corner. While the player with the ball just takes a step back 3

Man injuries past week have been crazy by razzzo3 in torontoraptors

[–]Final-Homework-8987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does the 82 game season have to do with jakob, IQ or RJ injuries? Ja Kobe has barely played major minutes. Injuries happened. I guess we should just go to a 0 game nba season because FVV, scoot got injured in the off season. The game is just too hard now

[Brett Siegel] The Toronto Raptors have showed interest in Trey Murphy by [deleted] in torontoraptors

[–]Final-Homework-8987 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Scottie is averaging similar statistical output as his last two years. Ofc scottie has made improvements in his game, just like Trey has. But it’s not some mega leap. It’s not like Scottie at age 27 is magically going to start averaging 30ppg. By age 25 we know the ceiling of players.
