It was mandatory and I doubt James Jones gave a shit. But it's stupid for Brooks to be getting so many techs. Brooks likes to push it close to the line and he has mostly been good about staying on the right side of it. But lately he has been pushing it too far. I love the overall effect he's had on ...

Pistons are gonna trade multiple 2nds for Royce straight up in the offseason And why would we do that? You want to keep Gillespie, mark Williams and Goodwin by any chance? To sign all of them or to sign most of them and still stay out of the 2nd apron, you gonna have to shed money. That’s why you d ...

Random thoughts: I think Kuminga is a weird fit next to Jalen Johnson; it feels like they are the same player, just Jalen is a 1000X better. I'm in disbelief that the Bucks turned Nick Richards into Ousmane Dieng. Chicago now has Rob Dillingham, Jaden Ivey, Tre Jones, Collin Sexton, AND Anfernee ...

It's wild how many deals have gone down this week, and how many players have been flipped.

Also, how many point guards do the Hornets have now?!

That sucks. I would have loved to land Dalen Terry. If the Nick Richards for Yabusele rumor was accurate, then it seems like they could have just made it a three-team deal. Oh well.

It's like saying, "Hey, did you know 250 million people want to win the Powerball?" :lol: :lol: :lol: His post would have been easier if he wrote the teams that didn’t want G ...

Of course Ishbia said that; he has essentially made Brooks the face of the franchise. Ishbia doesn't have to stay out of it because he is the reason Brooks is here. You're essentially talking about Isghbia's favorite player. Good to see you as always, INF. What are your thoughts about the Suns so ...

I was disappointed that Ishbia chose to speak up and insist that we weren't trading him. The owner should stay out of things like that.

Also I know ham strings are tricky but is a member of the medical staff about to get their ass fired. Not sure ownership can tolerate 2x reinjury on 2nd game back. I guess jalen knows the rehab program already. You have to really question the thinking if the medical staff cleared him but he was ...

Split has asserted a few times that over the last two seasons, we've been at our best with Point Book. And there is actually some truth to that. I think Point Book put Book in control to where he didn't get lost in the lack of offensive scheme (Vogel) or a bad offensive scheme (Budenholzer). Book ...

To Split's point, there were a lot of things wrong with this team the last two seasons other than Point Book. I just don't think Point Book was the flower growing out of the concrete as it is being portrayed.

I think KD was a much bigger reason for the slow offense. Booker played fast in the past…if anyone slowed him down it was CP3 and then KD. Booker can play fast, but the problem lies in making him solely responsible for engineering the team tempo. He can run out on the break, or grab a rebound and t ...

The "Big 3" in 23-24 also got caught up in taking the point guard discourse as a slight against them. KD even had that stupid quote about all three of them being point guards.

but I do think it’s interesting that your examples come from a very different era of basketball. I don't think this is an issue of eras. Kobe probably had the ball too much in his hands and still managed to not have to play point guard. I think it’s fair to think Booker isn’t good enough to be James ...

Calling Tyus the Pg was a formality. Book ran the offense. At most Tyus or Brad would just dribble to half court then hand the ball off to him at the top of the 3.

This. Durant ran the offense too. Tyus wasn't used like he was in Memphis, especially when he started for Morant when he went out.

BTW, I am on board with Giddey. A taller, more athletic Ricky Rubio is how he's being described on another board. I was thinking of Rubio too. It's a good comp, although Giddey is better scoring/shooting threat. I don't get this narrative that acts like Booker is just a spot-up shooter if you put ...

I like this move more than the Goodwin move. I thought Goodwin was pretty bad during his stint here; he was better with Washington and LAL.

Melton also isn't a PG. He's as much of one as Cason Wallace. Cason is a better ballhandler and has shown more ability to run an offense and set others up. Melton really is an undersized shooting guard. He can D up point guards, and you can get away with him bringing the ball up, but there isn't ...
