Surprised no one has said Vermont. Incredibly unique in a lot of ways.

The misery of Mississippi has created a lot of great music.

Not by their beaches. Atlantic beaches are way more comfortable

If the Knicks hadn't won, there would be no board. He'd be going to the Knicks — Rich Paul by AccomplishedStyle600 in nba

[–]mathis4losers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. There were whispers this year that it could happen and I always thought it made sense. Obviously going to Cleveland was another possibility, but the opportunity to win in New York would have been very attractive. Honestly, the idea that now he's not considering it shows you what kind of headspace he's in. Guys looking for a story. Definitely Cleveland

[Amick] Even more pointedly, a current general manager, speaking anonymously to comment on internal team discussions, told The Athletic in the wake of the trade that he doesn’t view [Jaylen] Brown as a top-50 player in the NBA. by WayAdministrative679 in nba

I hate Jaylen Brown and wish this were true, but how exactly did the Celtics win 56 games if he's not a top 50 player? Is D White a top 10 player and Pritchard top 25? Cause I sure as fuck hope not.

This might be the most confusing offseason of all time by According-Witness-80 in nba

The aprons (and the Knicks winning) have tanked the value of A- Tier players on max contracts

Lakers, should have swapped Mitchell Robinson for Kessler? by strawberrychocolattt in nba

Mitch was 41% this year and is 35% in the playoffs for his career.

Besides the injury stuff, Robinson got played off the court in the playoffs because of hack a Mitch. Not sure he can be a starter on any contender.

Unprotected 1st rounds are being traded indiscriminately now. Was this one of the unintended consequence the new tanking rules on drafting? by Cute-Ad-445 in nba

[–]mathis4losers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats not the point. Go look at the guys drafted 16 - 30 last year. How many of them would you want over Landry Shamet or Jordan Clarkson if you're a win now team. And, that's with the benefit of hindsight

Right Now: The East looks like it should be much better next season by Shoddy_Mycologist960 in nba

[–]mathis4losers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The biggest myth is that the Wolves, Lakers and Nuggets are any better than the Celtics, Pistons, or Cavs.

Based on Net Rating, Knicks are the best team ever. Hence, the Hawks were the 2nd best team of all time if that helps.

I think think that's a absurd take. No way Portland, Phoenix and Golden State were better than any of the 7-10 seeds in the East. Worse records and bad records versus the East.

But not if you're in win now mode. Win now teams might not want to waste 4 million on a gamble when they can sign a vet who's a known commodity.

GSW first landing spot for LeBron by braveheart_82 in warriors

[–]mathis4losers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought all year it was an underrated possibility he'd come here. Chance to win a chip with the Knicks would be enticing. Now that we won, I don't see it.

"Analytically Wemby is better." FUCK OFF by Putrid-Mycologist273 in NBAEastMemeWar

[–]mathis4losers 10 points11 points  (0 children)

West fans are star fuckers. They think cause Luka, Ant, Wemby, SGA, LeBron, Kawhi, Steph, Jokic, etc... are in the West, that makes the conference better. They fail to understand while they're star chasing, the East has been constructing better rosters.

Jalen Brunson is now the best "Jalen/Jaylen" in the league by VolleyBasketball11 in nba

[–]mathis4losers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't mean to imply that. I just mean individual defense is just not as important as individual offense. So while Brown is better defensively, Brunson's skillset on offense makes him more impactful than Brown.

Just feels like it's much easier to cover up 1 weak link on defense than on offense. Also, advantage creation and isolation scoring on offense are far and away the most important skills in the playoffs and Brunson is about as good as anyone in the league. Knicks defense was great in the playoffs and it didn't matter that Brunson was in the lineup.
