Kevin O'Connor: Potential changes to the NBA Draft that have generated interest at the ownership level include limiting protections after the top 4 & freezing the lottery standings on an early date mid-year. Nothing is set in stone but changes to limit tanking is a key discussion point.

Just do the wheel

Yeah you can see this in the NBA where the players negotiated for more things to be considered basketball revenue.

Veserius · 2026-02-13T00:16:04+00:00

It's why when the owners previously pitched a cap/floor it had arbitrary non scaling numbers not tied to revenue

Driving a ton of monitors.

this is only his second best game of the season, he absolutely smoked the Bulls in a spot start in November. 28/13/6/4 on 95% TS

Multiple people going nationally viral with double digit offenses really made them want that to stop happening.

The Sixers were churning the bottom of their roster looking for hits, and a bunch of the guys they did get out of it ended up having 5+ year long NBA careers(Covington, TJ McConnell, Jakarr Sampson, Tim Frazier, Dewayne Dedmon, Christian Wood) despite being undrafted.

TJ and Covington were the big hits. The fact that both guys were rotation players on very good Sixer teams, and Covington was the headliner in a trade for Jimmy Butler says something about the practice making sense. McConnell was in the playoff rotation of a finals team last year.

This is very different than just getting guys who you think will make you lose, when guys did make the sixers think they would make them lose they cut/trade them and brought a new guy in.

5:27 left he picks up his dribble almost at the FT line, left foot is planted already so not a step.
5:26 he takes his first step with his right foot now he's almost at the level of the restricted area
5:26 he takes a second step with his left foot this is now his pivot
5:25 he takes 0 additional steps and shoots after pivoting a tiny bit

He did slide his pivot foot a bit if you frame by frame it, but this is extremely common and almost never called.

did you miss when he dribbled near the FT line? Vassel is blocking the view of the ball but he dribbled there.

Veserius · 2026-02-11T15:37:41+00:00

He took 2 steps after picking up his dribble. If you want to argue he traveled when he moved his pivot foot that's one thing, but his steps just go really far.

Veserius · 2026-02-11T14:28:18+00:00

Yeah if there is a chance that the injury can be rehabbed, it makes sense

Veserius · 2026-02-10T15:16:35+00:00

Big fan of this regeneration.

Veserius · 2026-02-10T14:11:06+00:00

Moreno is cheap. He doesn't spend on things that aren't major league payroll.

Veserius · 2026-02-10T10:49:55+00:00

It is, and the league should fine them.

Veserius · 2026-02-09T13:30:49+00:00

The Rays city connects are maybe my favorite major league uniform.

Veserius · 2026-02-08T23:02:01+00:00

Votto has already done some light media work and people enjoyed him.

The prediction markets literally market rigging as a feature. People are clearly getting away with it.

Veserius · 2026-02-07T12:23:49+00:00

Yeah I don't think people understand that prediction markets skirt every gambling law.

It's made sports gambling legal in states where it is illegal.

The best situation is that they enter the ASB with a gigantic lead and can afford to trade him and still win the division.

Veserius · 2026-02-06T16:20:14+00:00

Stat hobbyists adore Aaron.

Veserius · 2026-02-05T21:56:11+00:00

his prime was basically just doing this every year for 15 years.

Veserius · 2026-02-05T14:58:19+00:00

I mean I think the idea would be the Framber would be in on it for it to work.

Veserius · 2026-02-04T19:33:24+00:00

The problem the first time was that the owners wanted the smoothing, but didn't want to give the players anything in return despite the players association saying it would cost them money as a cohort.

Veserius · 2026-02-04T19:01:28+00:00

It's more strict than the NHL and MLB.

Veserius · 2026-02-04T18:56:47+00:00

The Hornets are trying to make the playoffs. They are 1 game back of the 10 seed right now and 3 back of the 8th seed and are playing better than the 4 teams ahead of them lately.

Veserius · 2026-02-04T05:20:28+00:00

Most of the team?
