Me too but I just don’t see it. Losing DiVincenzo could be a bigger problem than I think a lot of people are realizing. I don’t know how the bucks are gonna defend them. Jrue is on one of the guards and Giannis is probably on Durant. I think they’re gonna start PJ Tucker and have Middleton guard Harden.

Devin Booker was locked in man. LeBron finally looked his age. Will be interesting to see how they bounce back next year.

I don’t think Dame will ever win a championship but you can’t say he doesn’t do everything for his team. What a performance.

And shouts out to Julius Randle for having an all time awful series. Good lord is he choking.

Luka is different different.

Do you think Julio does that for us? I think we’ll be good this year but I don’t necessarily see a super bowl contender.

Chris Paul’s body falls apart in the playoffs at every turn. It’s remarkable.

Look Durant definitely took the easy route going to GSW but he’s unquestionably one of the best scorers to ever touch a basketball. He’s a true freak of nature player. He will probably end up with another chip or two as well. I’m not the biggest fan of Hardens play style but he’s been a top 10 player in the league for a long time. I don’t get how you watch those 2 and think they are overrated or won’t be remembered. Outside of Kobe, LeBron and Curry, Durant is probably the biggest star of the last 20 years.

I just don’t think Ballard would ever make a move like this. Even if Wentz is the guy. Julio is special but he’s 32.

Thank god he turned down the pacers offer. Dodged a major bullet. I don’t have much love for the guy at this point but it’s sad to see any players career get destroyed by injury. He will play somewhere at some point but I don’t see a big pay day from anyone.

EJ Onu would be a great get. Would much prefer him over Durr.

And Last year he was probably the worst starting QB in the league. Some guys just don’t last in the nfl. It happens. Maybe 2017 was the outlier. They won the Super Bowl with Nick Foles man. That was a great team. I don’t know how you could watch Wentz play the last couple years and not be concerned. He was horrific at points last year, poor supporting cast or not. Wentz is a big risk but we were desperate. It could definitely pan out still. We will see

This season is going to depend on Wentz. If he’s good again we will be very tough to beat. If he’s actually done we are in trouble.

J Michael was on 1070 yesterday saying that he thinks most of that article is true outside of the tj Warren trade stuff. I really don’t think it’s entirely inaccurate. It’s not like that article is the only source that Bjorkgren has been bad.

I saw a couple people say he didn’t request a trade but that’s the only thing from that article that’s been denied. Either way I have a very hard time not believing a lot of it. There is too much smoke for things not to be awful. Last night doesn’t happen without it.

They clearly didn’t do their due diligence. Not contacting PHX or any of his g league associates just doesn’t make sense. Not asking TJ what he thought about him beforehand... even if some of it isn’t completely true too much of it makes sense and lines up with what we have seen. I saw on Twitter bill bayno commenting on KPs daughters Ig to tell her dad how much he loves him and that he’s sorry he had to leave. It’s clear nobody likes the guy in anyway.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2942713-inside-the-turbulent-tenure-of-indiana-pacers-coach-nate-bjorkgren This is a damning condemnation of Nate Bjorkgren. It’s shocking how terribly this coaching process was conducted. The TJ Warren stuff is insane.

I mean isn’t that the point of message boards... but ok.

I don’t see this comparison at all...

This kid is really good. Exactly the type of 4 I want.

Please go get Charles Leno Ballard. Please.

Definitely a weird one. Obviously have to see how it plays out the next couple years but there were some strange picks. Elhinger is more similar to Wentz than Eason is so maybe that’s who they want to backup. Idk.

I mean it’s that or Sam Tevi or Julien Davenport. There isn’t really a good option.

Jayson Tatum had a crazy game tonight to Will Boston to victory from over 30 down. 60 points. So much young talent in the league.

Zion helped his stock in college for sure but the g league wasn’t really an option a few years ago. But Zion is an all time high school mixtape player. He was way more famous than RJ Barrett. I agree the g league isn’t for everyone, but neither is college. I’m just saying I fully understand the decision to make real money as soon as possible. Look at LaMelo Ball. College wouldn’t have helped him in any way and he was killing it this year. There are more paths these days.
