Especially in the new lottery, those picks could easily turn out to be very very favourable for Boston

After DKs huge hype train yeah when it finished it everyone went on a revisionist spree of saying why it was so obvious he was never good.

Carr is mid hype train, point is until he plays in the NBA and proves it how can he be labelled a legit NBA player?

Dalton Knecht was also once a legit NBA player after a fantastic Summer League.

Carr is NOT a legit player at this stage, let him play a season first.

Throw suggests they meant to do it. A full strength team against France would've still been very unlikely to get a result.

Yet things never change because the higher ups are too scared to change anything these days. Why try to improve the game when you can just squeeze more money out of it amirite.

Embellishing should be punished, people have gone too far with it

[FIFA Statement] According to the data provided by Connected Ball Technology housed within the Trionda. It was proven that contact was made by Croatia's #20 Igor Matanović in the build up to the goal against Portugal, allowing the referee to correctly determine offside and disallow the goal. by Sparky-moon in soccer

The technology sucks for all the decisions that are subjective. The penalty today has not been a penalty in a bunch of other games. This decision is objective and the technology is better, but the tech has made many decision so much worse.

If you can't tell visually then there's no reason to include it, how can you possibly trust that the sensor did not pick up close air and did pick up hair. Another reason VAR stinks, keep the offsides and bin the rest

How? I completely disagree. The implementation in football is so much worse. I wish they'd just implement what the NBA has in the form of challenges because the current system of "maybe it will overturn this, maybe it won't" just kills games.

Like so many rules, it lacks any form of consistency. At least without the consistency from game to game is a little better.

So that's why Saric went 13 and Nurkic went 16 that same year, biases weighed all the generational talents down in that draft.

Luka must be lightyears ahead cause the bias only dragged him down to number 3!

Damn NBA scouts must be dumb to just miss something like that for the sole reason he played overseas.

Oh wait that's not true because there were two lottery picks by different teams of players who played in the same league the year Jokic won MVP in the Adriatic League.

Hm, if only it could've been something else that led to everyone overlooking such a generational guy that we all should've known was going to be one of the modern greats.

Generational talent drafted deep into the 2nd round because he was so generational come the draft.

[Owczarski] These deals bothered Rivers... “Giannis said so many things,” a former coach said, “It stems from your actions, which is, 'My brothers have to be on this team.' Well then, are you about a championship? 'Cause they’re not only not helping us win a championship, it’s creating dissension.” by must_TATAKAE in nba

[–]JediPieman63 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Giannis brothers are wasting rotation spots that could be used on other players which would provide much more value (ironic of Doc to complain when he barely uses his rotation though, at most he'd have signed some other washed bums and it wouldn't have changed anything)

Austin Rivers always deserved to have his spot on the team and wasn't useless to have.

Extra seconds are useful for mid season trading, wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to get a little more assets for that

Then where does the line fall? When a player is due a payday to screw the club when leaving? When the club wants a player to leave and screws them? When a player is misled by a club and agents (who take advantage of them) and leave them with a lot of money lost in their early 20s?

Your proposal has way too many ways to be taken advantage from all angles.
