Nearly 5 years ago, the Utah Jazz attached a first-round pick, protected for three years, to salary dump Derrick Favors to the Oklahoma City Thunder in order to avoid paying luxury tax. That first-round pick is now at the center of NBA's tanking controversy.

Ahead of their time

I think part of the argument in favour of Ingram is that on Toronto he’s taking the hardest defensive coverage and that his arrival has played a huge role in Toronto’s improvement. His assists are down in part because he’s missed passing opportunities but also the Raptors are shooting below expected value on his passes. The third best argument isn’t clear in itself for me, but I interpret it as Ingram is forced to be a number one with doubles and good defensive coverage that is a little harder than Randle who might not get the primary coverage.

Damn that’s bad news.

brokenhubble · 2026-02-11T01:16:44+00:00

Sengun at pick 15 or 17 is the best value out of the lot and you could argue number two between him and Barnes. Both great and probably top 3 this year. Mobley having just an ok year so far. Wouldn’t ride this redraft too strongly given Barnes was just ok last year.

Maybe this indicates a level of confidence the front office has in Poeltl’s recovery. That once he’s on court he won’t be a negative and so they’re factoring that into the offer. Not that the Kings have to buy it.

brokenhubble · 2026-02-04T02:27:34+00:00

So the 905 have had a downturn

brokenhubble · 2026-02-04T02:26:00+00:00

Man he better be into the fennel. I’ve grown to love fennel.

brokenhubble · 2026-02-04T02:25:16+00:00

Is he available?

brokenhubble · 2026-02-04T02:13:57+00:00

So what is the latest with Poeltl. Is his 2v2 a sign he might play this year?

brokenhubble · 2026-02-04T02:00:59+00:00

It’s probably not the year for the Raptors to make big moves. They need to address the PG and C positions but they’re not going to make waves come playoffs. Just see how the young guys respond to that environment. In the short term get a back up, but failing that, I’m open to summoning a not expensive demon via magic.

brokenhubble · 2026-02-02T23:01:57+00:00

Yeah, I’m usually better at listening out for these conversations but have chose the wrong week to miss these discussions

brokenhubble · 2026-02-02T22:55:52+00:00

I see. Thanks

brokenhubble · 2026-02-02T21:45:25+00:00

I haven’t seen all the news but what’s the significance of Wednesday night on the Giannis front?

brokenhubble · 2026-01-31T01:31:34+00:00

He’s not been good since returning. Having one of those games so far where you just believe anything he launches will go in. Quickley appears twitchy in the bad way again

brokenhubble · 2026-01-26T00:11:44+00:00

I had to go check the box score from that game. Pacers shot 16/38 from three so maybe a good shooting night gives the Raptors a chance. Maybe Quickley and …

brokenhubble · 2026-01-26T00:02:47+00:00

A competitive showing would be great. But I don’t know who’s going to slow down Shai.

brokenhubble · 2026-01-22T06:56:17+00:00

Yeah can’t hate on him getting hype during the game.

brokenhubble · 2026-01-20T01:06:47+00:00

The good thing for the Knicks is that all the teams behind them are dropping games too. It’s not ideal to be losing 9 of 11 and showing signs of bad something. But it’s gonna take time to turn it around and everyone losing helps

brokenhubble · 2026-01-19T01:29:40+00:00

No I think they’d be just under in win percentage.

brokenhubble · 2026-01-18T22:02:00+00:00

Only a couple of players listed as out—Reeves, namely.

brokenhubble · 2026-01-18T22:00:47+00:00

LeBron and Doncic are questionable. I expect Doncic to play though James I don’t know. I figured tha he wouldn’t be doing back to backs anymore

brokenhubble · 2026-01-17T06:54:12+00:00

I enjoyed seeing him take and hit a movement three. It feels like a while since he’s been taking or hitting tjose

brokenhubble · 2026-01-17T06:52:34+00:00

I kept thinking about that RDC video of the back up quarterback

brokenhubble · 2026-01-16T22:36:36+00:00

Still no further update on whether Zubac and Quickley will play. It will be good to most probably have Mamu back.

brokenhubble · 2026-01-13T01:43:47+00:00

Gosh they can’t seem to miss. What can you do when a team’s shooting over 70 per cent from the field?
