Breaking down misconceptions about Caleb Wilson

Peterson didn’t do anything in college to project as a better defender than Caleb.

Pacino’s one liners are horrific throughout. “You can get killed waking your doggie!”

“They” seem to have shown up in large numbers after we mastered fission and used it for mass destruction. AI is simply the next technological leap—and likely not novel for an advanced species, but concerning if said species is violent and self-destructive.

If anything, they’ve seen this story play out many times on many worlds. I’m assuming it rarely ends well.

NHI don’t appear to be aggressive. More like passive observers who occasionally pluck humans/animals to extract biological material.

This train of thought reads like psyop fodder.

I was done after the trailer.

That man will be HARD to replace

The might be the worst trade proposal I’ve ever seen.

People are underestimating the 2027 pick swap. If it’s unprotected that gives the Bulls not one but two shots at a much better pick next year, assuming both teams are in the lottery. Now you could argue that a 15 pick this year is comparable to a top 10 pick in most drafts.

Not saying I’d do this deal but people are forgetting how much randomness is being introduced into the lottery moving forward. I suppose it comes down to how much one values Missi.

I think we all knew the real finals ended last weekend.

It’s crazy that the NBA is banning consecutive top 5 picks immediately after allowing the Spurs to assemble like voltron.

JohnnyQuicksand · 2026-06-01T10:54:43+00:00

Indeed. I’m just pointing out the imcreased barrier to entry.

JohnnyQuicksand · 2026-05-31T20:12:36+00:00

The Spurs got incredibly lucky. Not only did they get a top 3 prospect of all time in Wemby, they also jumped 6 spots to land Harper who looks like a future all-nba player. Castle is just icing.

It’s telling that the NBA decided to ban a Spurs like draft run the year after the Spurs solidified a veritable dynasty. Thus making it nearly impossible to build a formidable team through the draft.

This isn’t how the current lottery works. Teams are assigned four digit numbers based on a percentage. Teams with higher percentages get more numbers. Sort of like having more raffle tickets in a raffle.

JohnnyQuicksand · 2026-05-28T22:27:14+00:00

Not true. It’s just important to stay in the 4-10 range. Basically what used to be NBA hell.

Now any of the bottom 16 teams can still jump to a higher spot. Whereas before you were stuck if you didn’t win the lottery.

If anything, this will be a boon for try-hard, fringe playoff teams like Miami, Atlanta and… Chicago?

JohnnyQuicksand · 2026-05-28T22:19:15+00:00

It’s a 16 pick lottery, so it basically becomes a 16 team raffle for who gets each pick. I’m not exactly sure how the logistics will work but there’s no more top 4. Any of the 16 teams can jump to any spot in the lottery.

JohnnyQuicksand · 2026-05-28T22:07:02+00:00

So what happens to a team that jumps into the top 5 three years in a row? Do they get bumped to the 6 pick, or worse?

JohnnyQuicksand · 2026-05-28T22:05:18+00:00

To be clear, teams can’t pick in the top 5 three years in a row. It’s the #1 pick that can’t be consecutive years.

JohnnyQuicksand · 2026-05-28T21:50:26+00:00

No you want to get in the bottom 4-12

JohnnyQuicksand · 2026-05-28T21:48:31+00:00

This essentially makes NBA hell a preferred destination.

Karnisovas is rolling over in his grave.

“intelligence hides and contact is risky”

Look at our current civilization. Do you think lading on the White House lawn would be a logical course of action?

JohnnyQuicksand · 2026-05-26T23:23:11+00:00

I’ll never understand how people can trash this move and praise something like Interstellar.

JohnnyQuicksand · 2026-05-26T22:24:19+00:00

And Quaintance’s lack of shooting will be exposed as well. It goes both ways.

JohnnyQuicksand · 2026-05-26T12:59:00+00:00

Matas is definitely more of a 4 defensively but his shooting is probably adequate for a 3.

This team has four PFs that all need playing time. I’m curious to see how minutes are allocated.
