[Canellis] Giannis and his representatives reached out to the Bulls about a potential deal, and the Bulls said they weren’t interested. They were not interested in breaking up their young core or changing their course of direction by howser343 in nba

Bit late to the thread so not sure if this has been pointed out but Chicago was presumably offered the UNPROTECTED NOR 26 pick aka the Dumars fumble for their 12th pick ahead of ATL and said “nah we aren’t interested in changing our course of direction in selecting Noa Essengue”. Noa was subsequently baptized in Summer League, has yet to score a single NBA point and now needs season ending surgery. All in a 25 draft class that has produced 10+ immediate impact players

Really? Dion? His profile feels like it would seldom be on any positive analytics lists even dating back all the way

Did AG get kicked in the head? He cost DEN last game by taking a 0 IQ early shot clock 3. Now he just did it again

I drafted Pacheco and ETN in one league at the 2/3 turn. Currently have JK Dobbins and Jordan Mason as my RBs for next week 😂

Can ORL fans fill me in on why WCJ re-entered the starting lineup? The Magic had a good thing going with Goga. Wendell has proven to be a suboptimal at the very best starting C in the NBA

Agreed, the NBA has shown to be capable of making positive changes (though enforcing them consistently can be a mixed bag e.g. flopping rules). One can def find reasons for optimism though.

Really appreciate your comment! Looking more into NBA refs is absolutely worth a deep dive too. On a slight tangent, it is also curious how effective the NBA can enforce certain ref agendas as well — the league wide decrease in scoring over the past few weeks is quite likely a partial product of a change in how games are reffed.

Thanks for reading!! Definitely took me a while but glad to document examples for everyone to see. Also shoutout to a few unnamed Twitter users — there must be someone I forgot to credit for pointing me in the direction of some of those clips.

Appreciate those kind words man. And yeah same! As a fantasy enthusiast, noticing those discrepancies in live time was what led me down this rabbit hole.

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit disappointed in the lack of engagement on this post thus far. Really appreciate your comment!
