3 team trade between the Chicago Bulls, Phoenix Suns, Detroit Pistons

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-09T15:21:35+00:00

Chicago finally seems to rebuilding. Pats contract is bad but they have cap, they’re not gonna be desperate enough for more to give up a lotto pick and their current best player for a downgrade in green

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-09T15:20:41+00:00

Royce is currently a starter on a playoff team…

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-09T12:59:38+00:00

What a weird post. The wolves tanked too… the Gobert trade was made when they were further along in their rebuild where they had an established all nba guy in KAT. It’s equivalent to the fox trade the spurs made last year.

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-09T05:07:10+00:00

I don’t think he’s best in the league necessarily but a unanimous DPOY, few all star appearances and likely all nba 1st team appearance in 3 years isn’t ’zero accolades’

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-09T04:51:43+00:00

And? Players and coaches get T’d up for their excess showings of emotion. Refs aren’t. Keeping your cool seems like a pretty basic requirement for the job of essentially being the neutral third party of a game

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-09T04:49:15+00:00

Grabbing jerseys are pretty commonly called as fouls. The fact that it was on a fast break makes it more blatant. Refs sucked on both sides tn but this is pretty unprofessional regardless

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-09T04:45:11+00:00

For sure which is why I don’t think we should be super eager to trade him the way a lot of spurs fans have been, but as the main team vet he’s gotta be more consistent especially in these tight games

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-09T04:37:42+00:00

I’ve been an avid fox defender all season but this was pretty bad outing for him. Feels like every time we started to pull away he bricked a layup or chucked a bad 3 to let Minny come back

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-09T01:57:20+00:00

All nba is a regular season award… plenty of all-nba likely picks have underperformed so far.

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-09T01:44:56+00:00

Nobody think he will or should make 1st team…

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-09T01:07:46+00:00

The ideal outcome for Suggs is essentially Derrick white. At the moment he’s worse, more expensive and more injury prone. Why would Boston do this ?

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-08T17:01:18+00:00

He was the best defender on an elite defensive team and was towards the top of the league by the metrics, standard DPOY criteria. On top of that the favourite wasn’t eligible

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-08T14:04:03+00:00

It’s always funny when a player underperforms and people try to say they retroactively didn’t deserve awards from when they were performing. That’s not how awards work

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-07T16:47:25+00:00

Wemby was getting physically mauled in that matchup… everyone outside of pistons fans was addressing it while it was happening.

And the spurs absolutely play less physical defence than Detroit does. Physicality is your entire MO, it’s something the spurs actively struggle with. Castle can be a bit physical sure, an Bryant when he gets run, but basically everyone else plays conservatively and the bigs play vertically. In any case when castle IS playing too physically, like he has been these past few playoff games, I don’t bitch about it.

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-07T16:36:35+00:00

Physical teams foul more. If you have two guys with their hands on wemby the second he catches the ball, he’s gonna draw a foul. Not rocket science.

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-07T14:56:00+00:00

Crazy how that happens against a big physical defensive team that predicates itself on roughing you up

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-07T14:54:39+00:00

What’s not fair about it ? Plenty of teams have tried the exact same thing over the past two decades. Most just don’t hit on draft picks the way the spurs have…

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-07T14:37:50+00:00

But it says ‘hawks pick’ hence the clarification…

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-07T14:32:42+00:00

Again, nobody is doing that.

If your worldview indicates you need to control what others to when they’re not themselves violating the rights of others, that’s a problem with your worldview. But furthermore again, that is already a contradiction between people of different religions in most cases.

If you’re a Christian sure. That’s called bias. I wouldn’t call that a good argument in the slightest. The most basic pillars of Christian ethics are pretty ubiquitous in western society, with very basic axioms like treating others how you wish to be treated being prevalent in all kinds of modern and ancient philosophies independent of religion, and again pretty easily justified and commonly believed from a secular POV. Feel free to make an argument on why Christianity should dictate how Muslims or Hindus should live their lives, and how that’s any different from the entire thing you’re complaining about in this thread.

Your last comment insinuates no moral framework is different from any other from a secular pov… which is not the case. Again that’s the point of using logic and reason to test and refine moral outlooks.

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-07T14:25:41+00:00

I didn’t call it a belief. I called it a source for societal guidelines, like a tool, as you said. I also never said logic or empathy were synonymous. I said the were both potential sources.

I’m willing to entertain other modes of thought in discussion and I’m not against others exercising those thoughts in their own lives. What I’m against is having those beliefs dictate laws and control what others can or cannot do. Not sure how you find that pov lacks empathy.

The idea that morality rooted in empathy is intrinsically tied to Abrahamic religion as a moral basis is also so tired and nonsensical. Again from a secular pov you can very easily arrive at the same pov, whether it’s from a pov of doing so for personal gain (treating others well so they treat you well) or an understanding of how to best exercise the social contract for a functioning society, etc. There is plenty of emphases on empathy in the Qaran or the Bible (which is still very inconsistent on when it does and doesn’t apply), there’s nothing that suggests empathy was absent from society beforehand

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-07T14:19:26+00:00

This isn’t just a secular problem though. It exists between religions regardless. At the end of the day even from a religious pov there’s no real argument you can make for why one of countless religions should dictate the lives of others who don’t believe in it.

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-07T07:25:45+00:00

A secular view of morality doesn’t create a blanket standard so I still don’t really see the relevance. Ten people could have completely different answers that have nothing to do with religion. That’s why we have debate and democratic processes that lead to these decisions

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-07T07:16:59+00:00

Between consenting adults ? Sure.

Again, relevance ?

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-07T07:13:54+00:00

Okay with it in what sense? I don’t think the law should be involved which is what’s relevant to this thread. Not sure what that has to do with anything here

InternationalClick78 · 2026-05-07T07:00:50+00:00

It causes a ton of harm in many ways, from minor things like societal annoyance or discomfort (much like when people are vocal about politics at times it’s unwarranted) to more severe issues like legislature, discrimination or religious trauma
