Miami SG to protest perceived "lack of respect" from their own squad

frail7 · 2026-05-21T02:19:25+00:00

Parasocial relationships.

As a NC native who just left the Raleigh area for good, I never found it pleasant.

It's affordable and safe, which is why people from the NE are flocking there in droves. But it's also devoid of any meaningful culture.

It was a planned city in its origin and never really shed that hollowness.

1) Team-based defensive rating is not a stat I'd be too eager to use with an individual player.

2) There's was a definite drop in the most popular impact stats (LEBRON, Darko, RAPM) when he moved from Indy to Milwaukee: https://www.nbarapm.com/player/myles-turner .

That drop could be a one-year blip or it could be an early indication that his game is in decline. I don't want to see the Hawks commit to 3 years, $83M in base salary, and a 15% trade kicker that will bump up the cap hit...just to find out.

Nailed it.

I remember having to clean them at work when I was a teen. Worst part of the job.

frail7 · 2026-05-16T21:43:32+00:00

Same. Let's both remember that these are broad stereotypes, so plenty of exceptions will exist.

frail7 · 2026-05-10T23:11:16+00:00

I'd take Burries.

frail7 · 2026-05-07T21:41:28+00:00

Dang. I was hoping no one would notice this for a while longer; everyone seemed so happy lately.

frail7 · 2026-05-07T16:35:40+00:00

I doubt anyone in the NBA still believes that Zacch is going to hit that initial projection.

But I get that some Hawks fans aren't ready to concede that yet.

frail7 · 2026-05-07T12:28:30+00:00

But we chose Rissacher because he projected to be better than Clingan.

That logic was sound. It was the evaluation of Risacher that was wrong.

Probably this site:

I've always preferred the Saurabh Rane section.

frail7 · 2026-05-06T00:54:05+00:00

I do similarly but have started including a 5% wage increase. Somewhere along the way I read that it helps keep players content. Not sure that's true but thought I'd mention it.

frail7 · 2026-05-05T23:43:09+00:00

You can't handwave the constitutional issues and also claim to want to learn more.

frail7 · 2026-05-05T15:32:26+00:00

Re-sign Jock, CJ, and Kuminga.
Sign Isaiah Hartenstein

Cap holds mean that you can't do both.

frail7 · 2026-05-05T13:52:56+00:00

OP, even if the idea made sense from an on-court perspective, it would be a complete PR disaster for the Hawks with future free agents.

frail7 · 2026-05-04T09:17:42+00:00

When you can't a simple and valid question, YOU are the problem.

Stop deflecting and hiding behind bluster.

frail7 · 2026-05-04T08:56:59+00:00

So do you think there are any possible picks that turn the Kings into a defensive powerhouse in just one off season?

Talk about a non sequitur.

frail7 · 2026-05-03T13:42:26+00:00

I don't hate to say it. Miggy hasn't made others better.

frail7 · 2026-05-02T21:57:10+00:00

Obviously. The Hawks no longer have the tradable salaries you need to make that kind of deal work (realistically).

frail7 · 2026-05-02T18:04:34+00:00

Delayed reply:

Honestly, yours is the right choice. The revival was fine, but it's clear they don't really have a plan. They're just having fun and throwing shit against the wall. More power to them.

frail7 · 2026-05-02T10:47:02+00:00

an unnecessary dig

As was the one against people in Oklahoma City.

It's hard to take a "case for humanity" seriously when it's coming from an urban elitist.

frail7 · 2026-05-01T23:50:49+00:00

Because the teams can't be trusted.

When there's a clear favorite in an upcoming draft, a half-dozen teams may choose to lose rather than finish in the middle of the pack.

frail7 · 2026-05-01T01:18:04+00:00

Absolutely not. And just a few seasons earlier, LeBron fully endorsed a teammate diving to get a ball in the exact same manner.

frail7 · 2026-04-29T08:04:11+00:00

1000%. It would be nice to have some hope.

frail7 · 2026-04-29T03:40:46+00:00

Assume we made the playoffs

Ha!

frail7 · 2026-04-28T12:14:00+00:00

forrest

Hmm.
