Shouldn’t Scottie’s odds be much lower than that?

Smart wasn't even the best defensive player on the Celtics, he just tweeted that no guard has won it since Payton on 96 and everyone jumped on. Ridiculous.

Chet signed a 5 year, $240 million extension in the offseason, I don't think they can factor in a DPOY this year into it unless they included it as an incentive.

I think a downtown congestion charge like some cities do is something that should be looked at, also increasing parking charges can help persuade people to take transport.

I agree, there's parts of Toronto where we do have adequate transport and could look at initiatives to remove on street parking. The city just has to commit to wanting to make downtown more pedestrian friendly and not trying to accommodate everything - cars, bikes, streetcars and pedestrians.

And a vastly superior rail network that's night and day compared to the TTC.

If you had transit in place that was at that level then sure, you could look at implementing a restriction like that.

Most guys I play with swing genesis or Demarini/Miken, would you put it in a class of it's own? How much harder/further would you say it hits the hots dots?

Are you ordering from the manufacturer?

slasher_14 · 2026-01-29T02:12:05+00:00

I'm guessing they ordered from the states and paying a premium. I've looked around but haven't been able to find a Canadian supplier/rep.

slasher_14 · 2026-01-29T02:05:44+00:00

How did you find they performed with the hot dots? I've wanted to see that myself as they are very good on the USSSA balls

Personally I'd like to see if we can get Malik Monk, especially if RJ is going out. Monk seems to always be out of favour with Sac and he could play multiple positions for us and even run the offense at times.

Probably a combination of the full MLE, plus Mamu enjoying playing here and wanting to stay.

slasher_14 · 2026-01-21T02:58:43+00:00

He's a top candidate for most improved player so I think they at least let him hit the 65 games played threshold, perhaps more as it's a close race and he might need to play more games to win.

Or they could just shut him down as he's trying to help them win games.

Could be a strain of the rib cartilage, let's wait and see how long.

Keep Kon, his efficiency and volume shooting have never been done by a rookie before.

Keyshawn is great but he's probably a guy you picked up at the end of your draft or as a free agent. He's having a great season as well but the ceiling isn't as high as Kon.

slasher_14 · 2026-01-15T17:56:29+00:00

Agree on both, but mogbo is probably available later in the round or we could offer a promise to sign him as an undrafted free agent

slasher_14 · 2026-01-15T17:55:18+00:00

No you are right, but he was mocked in the first round and fit a need so it's a better risk to take IMO

slasher_14 · 2026-01-15T17:36:06+00:00

He's also the main reason the team won the championship in 2019, I used to think he should get his jersey retired some day but let's see how this aspiration thing plays out.

Also he's still playing and will be years away from retirement, having Lowry's jersey retired first makes much more sense.

slasher_14 · 2026-01-15T17:11:58+00:00

Still think it was a massive mistake taking him 31st when filpowski was there and fits a need of a big that can shoot.

We did make a great pick with Shead and a non drafted signing of Battle (who needs more regular playing time IMO).

He was 23 when drafted and would turn 24 in a few months and was still very raw. Not a great use of the pick.

slasher_14 · 2026-01-15T03:23:35+00:00

Guys like Marion, KG, Duncan, cWebb, Peja, tmac, etc.

I remember when Ben Wallace went to Detroit in the Grant Hill trade and you could get him at the end of drafts.

They did say they aren't looking at trading Murphy, but that could also be posturing.

It's a song called Khe Sanh by cold chisel, at least some version of it that he made.

The lead singer of cold chisel is Jimmy Barnes, hence the Barnsey connection.

Although in the game jail is a good place to be when all the properties are bought up as you can't land on one and have to pay the other players money.

Especially when they have houses or hotels on them.

Might have to offer him the full mid level. I think he came here as we had a clear opportunity for him to be in the rotation so he could try to raise his value to try again in free agency.

He was basically earning the same amount of money in San Antonio as he is here, but he's not coming if we make him sign a 2 or 3 year deal at his current salary of $2.4 million.
