Around the League: Week 16 1/28-2/3

[Flagrant Fowl]

The funny thing is, that was one of the most reasonable posts by WW in a long time.

It must be because I tend to agree with most of it.

Oh I agree. I was just giving WW a hard time. It's a bit depressing though.

Does looking at the glass half empty make you feel better? I think perhaps you are being a bit too optimistic, Worm. The win totals keep going down each year, why would that change? I thought the Suns were going to go against the grain and prove that you don't need an established pg, thumbing their noses at the group think, but ultimately failing miserable and alienating their star player.

Forecasting models usually predict regression towards the mean. The Suns would struggle to find a way to get worse, and at this point making nearly random decisions would make them better.

Yeah, that seems to be the case, but you forgot that they will probably go through a rash of season ending injuries next year from their starting lineup and run a string of 20-30 different 10 day contracts to fill out the roster for the season, therefore playing over their head, but only able to muster around 13 wins on the season.

And don't forget that Jackson is a closet axe murderer. It's just a matter of time.

Oh you're right. I can't believe I forgot that and the domestic abuse charges and subsequent suspension leveled on _______ too, along with the front office drug distribution scandal.

Let's be honest. An ownership scandal would be the best thing that could possibly happen to this franchise.

I didn't say ownership, just front office, haha.

I know, but let's just drain the whole swamp while we're out it.

Sarver is a normal owner. Move on, find a new slant.

[TOO]

Mavs have nothing of value to trade. LOL NY.

[Shabazz]

I'm insanely Jealous of Dallas. They tanked for 1 year and got Doncic and KP.

WTF IS NY DOING??

[Shabazz]

If I was a Knicks fan, this would be the final straw.

[bajanguy008]

would this be considered a miss for us ?
I remember a KP trade debate on here , was that this offseason ?

I would say it is. I guess it depends on how Kristaps comes back from his injury.

[wpmiller42]

Wow, so the Mavs get KP for Jordan, Matthews, and Smith Jr.? And they also get Hardaway Jr. who I think isn't too bad of a player even if he is a bit overpayed.

I feel we could have offered a better package than that. Heck, maybe we did -- it is the Knicks....

I was saying we could but their priority seemed to be expiring contracts and we got rid of ours already . Just how things play out for us smh, if we still had the Grumpy Vets such an opportunity probably doesn't come about tsk

I feel like the Suns were probably just talking about possibly offering something and it happened while they were thinking about things.

[TOO]

Suns fan outrage around various websites is hilarious to me, chances are there were very few teams involved in this, and NY seems to have had their hearts set on getting nothing but cap space in return.

Getting so upset over something you have no control over is such a waste of time.

[Split T]

So Dallas is Burke/Hardaway/Doncic/Barnes/Porzingis, they’ve got Harris/Lee/Kleber/Dirk/Powell off the bench. That’s something. Although I’m hearing Porzingis plans to sign the qualifying offer and become unrestricted in 2020.
