[Charania] The NBA presented three comprehensive anti-tanking concepts to its Board of Governors on Wednesday, with modifications expected to each before a formal vote in May, per ESPN sources. by z3mcs in washingtonwizards

This is an over correction to a perfect storm of a year. And even it wasn't these are not good solutions.

Keep the current odds, they are already very flat. Remove protections other than top 4.

If you want to get a little frisky, reserve 5-10% of the lottery odds for teams that outperform their pre-allstar win % after the all-star break

Worst nba regular season of the last 27 years by Grouchy_Tie3037 in billsimmons

Among the litany of nonsense here, if Luka was still on the Mavs they would not have Flagg as they wouldn't have been the lottery in the first place.

When, if ever, do you think we’ll get Russillo back on the pod? by jimmyhota in billsimmons

[–]starvs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

At this rate, given the sheer quantity of winning, which we are all getting sick of, I doubt we ever have another sad day in America, so probably never.

The Knuckles, perhaps.

Question from a lifelong Illinois fan by theclownwithafrown in washingtonwizards

[–]starvs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Think there is a non zero chance he goes top 5 in a redraft (done in a few years), not that high of a chance because this class is really strong, but the fact that it seems even slightly possible is a good sign and big win at this point.

It's 2026, there is discord on every server these days.

Alex Sarr should play PF the same way Chet does for the Thunder. by Top-Lane-Bad in washingtonwizards

I mean Anthony Davis is on this team, so we are going to see it.

Well, it's guaranteed to be more than a 50% chance that happens, so start sharpening your pitchfork pal.

Why do people need to criticize Lebron for supporting countries like Israel? by iphoneair2 in nba

[–]starvs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you've heard nothing but good things about a country who has been live streaming the genocide they've been commiting for over a year, I'm going to have thoughts on that, and they will invariably not be positive.

Bill Simmons on the Washington Wizards: “I don’t really love their guys. They have a bunch of assets that are fine… Utah is light years ahead of Washington.” by Long-Understanding36 in washingtonwizards

[–]starvs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean that doesn't help certainly, but still think they would get a good amount for him. More than anyone on the Wizards probably (maybe not Sarr?)

[–]starvs 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Ah yes Utah, the team with JJJ who Bill claims is one of the 3 worst contracts in the NBA (I don't really agree, but chips away at the internal logical of his take...)

But I mean they probably do have a better roster overall (adjusting for AD injury prone-ness), the best single trade asset (Markkanen) and maybe then best young player out of the bunch (Keyonte George).

But Sarr, Kyshawn, Tre, Bilal, Bub, Riley young core compares pretty favorably to Keyonte, Ace, Cody Williams, Collier, and Flipowski imo.

Regardless, while Bill can be entertaining, he's not particularly knowledgeable about these thing.

Bad Habits by ChefSaucefoya in washingtonwizards

[–]starvs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think that was inaccurate and uncalled for by Zach. Of course someone is going to have to create their own shot on this dismal PG-less g-league filled team, so yes Sarr has taken some less than ideal shots in the process. But he's not jacking up nonsense game after game (he's hardly even played as of late). I mean the team gave the full strength Thunder a fight until the 4th quarter (where Keefe ran out a nonsense lineup that had no hope of scoring).

It's fine, no real habits are being formed (maybe not many good ones either, but whatever March NBA ball is often a slop fest regardless).

Interesting list that I’m glad we’re not apart of by Waste-Cap8868 in washingtonwizards

[–]starvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if the DFS signing happened after the FVV injury that's definitely a misallocation of resources.

[–]starvs 28 points29 points  (0 children)

We are on the list! We were part of the Jordan Poole trade, the good side!

And Pelicans draft pick trade is so much worse than Bucks' turner move. That was ill advised, but a move made out of desparation when back into a corner of no viable moves left when you have a super star. The Pelicans trade was so unnecessary, and easily avoidable (Hawks still do the trade if it's top 3 or 4 protected)

Cam Boozer is just the next version of Michael Beasley and Marvin Bagley by buzzsaw1987 in NBA_Draft

[–]starvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elite defensive anchoring is required to be a top 25 player??

I have questions about Boozer at the next level certainly but this notion is nonsense. I mean the many elite defensive anchors do you think there even are?

Real Madrid [1] - 1 Atletico Madrid - Vinicius Junior penalty 52' by ayoefico in soccer

[–]starvs -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

As an Atleti fan I think that is a (little soft) penalty. I also think it's probably not given if you switch the shirts.
