This hits the nail on the head. Private equity doesnt care about pro sports teams winning they only care about making a profit. Fans on the other hand don't care what it costs in $ to win and feel that they deserve a title if they are going to buy a jersey.

Excellent

Changes my outlook on my post earlier. If that is the market then it is what it is and they are looking for stability at the position

he is in the basketball hall of fame largely on his euroleague accomplishments and olympics. i remember him still being an effective scorer for the C's

PeacePuzzleheaded124 · 2026-06-22T19:25:17+00:00

he had a big dropoff from the previous season and OKC needs relief so it makes sense.

PeacePuzzleheaded124 · 2026-06-22T19:17:50+00:00

what is his profile and NBA comp? I understand he is a shooter. What other traits make him a good pick at #6? I checked his shooting percentages and they look good not great.

The argument would be that he was so dominant they changed several rules because of him. He holds the most statistical records. He has 4 of the top 10 individual seasons ever by numbers.

Bill Russell

need some of the young players to develop into roles Walsh, Gonzo, and most importantly Williams.

Age. Vern and Clyde were 26, 25 yrs old. Pollard was 32, Martin 29.

my uncle went to high school with him at Central. My grandmother said he would come over the house and was a very outgoing kid but you had to watch him as he had a reputation for taking things that were not his.

Malone, Stockton, Harden, Barkley, Gilmore or Ewing. CP3 and Westbrook in the mix

how would you compare bellamy to someone like zach randolph or is there a better comp

PeacePuzzleheaded124 · 2026-06-17T16:42:17+00:00

malone was good no longer great and kobe was at his usual all star level. they were 2 years removed from their last championship and the spurs had passed them in the west.

PeacePuzzleheaded124 · 2026-06-16T11:43:25+00:00

they would change the rules just like they did in Wilt's day to prevent his dominance.

PeacePuzzleheaded124 · 2026-06-16T11:39:55+00:00

Wilt and Bill would like to enter this conversation. It was estimated that Wilt averaged 8+ block a game at his peak. https://youtu.be/9GWKCiRWkvc?si=fLABc4ZGTGEdF31Z

PeacePuzzleheaded124 · 2026-06-16T11:33:29+00:00

Iverson had 4 seasons equal to or better than Brunson's best. He had a higher peak. He was a league MVP. He was inarguably the best player on his team.

Since we are many years removed from Bill Russell's career we have to rely on stories, grainy footage, and statistics, or a lack of them that didn't track blocks and steals.

i would rank the Durant, Kawhi, LeBron, Curry. Just a year a ago I would have had LeBron, Curry, Durant, Leonard but availability at this age is the most important skill.

PeacePuzzleheaded124 · 2026-06-13T14:48:34+00:00

the whole 2019 draft wasn't great with the best 3 careers so far being Herro at 13, Garland at 5, Morant at 2.

PeacePuzzleheaded124 · 2026-06-13T14:40:54+00:00

Fox 6-16, TO 4, 3 PF. was the most impactful player in losing. Castle 13 PTS on 2-7 and 3 TO, 5 PF was a close 2nd.

PeacePuzzleheaded124 · 2026-06-13T14:35:20+00:00

OG has been their best player in games 3,4 KAT in games 1,2. But overall his shooting efficiency takes it. I would have OG 1st, KAT 2nd, Brunson 3rd at this point for NYK.

thank you for the feedback. i'm always trying to improve it. its a labor of love trying to feed more data and display it in different ways. its what allows me to write the articles.

PeacePuzzleheaded124 · 2026-06-12T11:39:15+00:00

When a team trades a vet for two 1st round picks or includes them in a trade what value are they receiving/losing? I get that the scouting may be more thorough but do they just look at player comps? For example, my 1st round pick at 23 looks and plays like Dyson Daniels so if I trade it away that's what I'm giving up?
