I’m still really high on Simmons. Think his fit with Ayton is questionable as some have mentioned. I think Booker/Simmons is one heck of a combo. I might look to flip Ayton at that point for a better fit. A better fit and one that wouldn't command max contracts. With Simmons and Booker we would hav...

He'll be let off, pardoned, charges dropped somehow, someway.

I thought they were on the outs... and Trump has replaced the SDNY head a few times. There is no way that Bill Bar didn't know this was coming.

I'd be interested to see how many of his 3P% are either super early in the shot clock or super late. All that and more: https://stats.nba.com/player/1626164/shots-dash/ Yeah, that isn't the problem. The issue is that almost 20% of his shots are pull up 3s and he is under 34% on them. Catch and Shoo...

Simmons' health issues would give me more pause for making a move like that than any on court stuff. He's a special player. Unbelievable defensively and a killer in transition. He gets to the rim on 64% of his shots (it goes up to 94% of all his shots if you extend out to 10 feet). That is a specia...

How would you guys feel about targeting Ben Simmons this offseason? Say, Rubio/Oubre/our pick for Simmons? I worry about his hit with Ayton. But yes, I would strongly consider that deal. I would want the Sixers' second rounders though. Of freaking course you would want their second rounders. You’re...

I would love to see the Blazers and Mavs in the 2nd round.

He is as good as they come when it comes to speeches.

Do you think Rubio is that? Well, Rubio has the handle to get to the basket and initiate the offense. He's not great finishing at the rim, but he can do it. I suppose he's not a huge difference than the way Rubio plays, but he does need to improve his handles. "Not great" is a funny way o...

A common fallacy with all these rah-rah political thingies is to think they are about persuasion. In many cases they are about activation and enthusiasm. There are some potential voters who are liberal but might feel kind of "meh" about Biden. Things like the conventions and debates can c...

I don't hate any other teams. I think it comes down to me not wanting to give them that kind of power over me. There are certainly players/owners/coaches I root against, though.

And I don't think conventions help move the needle much. Most Americans do not care enough to vote, and a ton of others are prevented/discouraged from voting (or have their vote rendered meaningless due to gerrymandering).

Same. Obviously meant a lot more before TV, 24 hour news coverage, and the internet.

Never understood the point of conventions. Has anybody’s mind ever been changed by a convention? It’s a giant circle jerk. It isn't for people from the other party. It is to try and encourage more people from your own party to vote. (It is ridiculous that anyone has to encourage people to vote... W...

At least he shoots better from 3 than James Harden.

My ideal scenario this year would be a Blazers/Raptors finals, with Dame winning Finals MVP.

Indiana just couldn't sustain much once they lost Oladipo. Hope he isn't out long. Without him and Sabonis, they probably aren't even a playoff team in the east.

Where did I say something bad about this team!?! Saying that Clarke is doing well, and Cam is beating all expectations is a positive thing.

Doesn't change the percentages. And at no point did I say I would want him taking it over Booker. Someone said Clarke couldn't keep the defense honest with his 3, and I used facts to disagree.
