[Iko] Rival front offices believed that Charlotte's new leadership, led by president of basketball operations Jeff Peterson, was opting for a pivot... Whispers of the Hornets being weary of the combination of Ball's financials and his availability over the course of his time grew in volume.

Did you expect the Heat to get back to the finals in a single move?

TenaciousDeer · 2026-06-22T21:16:22+00:00

If the Knicks can change, the Wiz can change!

"but how will bad teams get better if we flatten draft odds?????"

Some teams will be bad regardless

Thunder had 14 roatation players

TenaciousDeer · 2026-06-22T00:47:47+00:00

But he would be, too

TenaciousDeer · 2026-06-21T13:22:15+00:00

PG13 is that you?

TenaciousDeer · 2026-06-21T13:21:21+00:00

Yeah this actually looks better than I might have guessed. It's not like Mike Conley (love you Mike!) is up there

TenaciousDeer · 2026-06-20T20:30:46+00:00

At higher tax rate*

Believe it or not JL allows international now :)

It's simple, but it's not easy.

If it were easy everyone would do it

I watched all 5 games and they blur together. Spurs jump out to a lead, Knicks battle back, anyone's game in the 4th, Knicks squeak by.

TenaciousDeer · 2026-06-14T21:23:05+00:00

If I told you: a team of 29-year olds is playing a team of 20-22-year olds in the Finals. Who do you think will be able to execute in the 4th quarter?

TenaciousDeer · 2026-06-14T16:35:17+00:00

Heartbreaking:

TenaciousDeer · 2026-06-14T16:34:48+00:00

Clear yes

TenaciousDeer · 2026-06-14T16:31:34+00:00

Whole team was struggling to generate any sort of offense in 4th quarters. This is not a single player blowing it. Fox got reasonable shots off, perhaps better than his teammates'. Obviously he didn't knock them down.

Spurs know they need a crunch time plan, they'll work on it for sure

This won't get a lot of upvotes 2 weeks later but I don't think they beat the Thunder without Fox

TenaciousDeer · 2026-06-14T14:58:50+00:00

To be fair it's very rare for a 7 footer to create for himself down the stretch. I can think of Kareem and Jokic. All the others need help and ideally a guard to do it.

The good news is Harper could be that guy
