The phishing test would be okay if they were actually getting rings but damn is that so messed up with them not.
- Comment on Season Predictions 5 hours ago:
I think the lottery rules, as imperfect as they are, will massively reduce tanking and I’m excited to see more teams actually trying to win games down the stretch.
Having “relegation” battles at the end of the year to not be bottom 3 should be interesting stakes.
A big side effect though is draft pics values just got flattened. Before you’d rather have 1 pick from a really bad team, now you just want a volume of picks. Really changes the landscape for trades.

Not really a hot take but I think Wemby wins MVP.
Jokic will have the stats but don’t think Nuggets are getting a top 3 seed unless they have much better injury luck than the last couple of years.
Same with Luka who would have the benefit of LA market pushing his case and he doesn’t have the voter fatigue Jokic/Shai do.
Shai as mentioned will have the voter fatigue hit hard since the voters really don’t want to give 3 in a row especially to someone coming off a short playoff run (see Jokic and Giannis). OKC likely has the team record and he’ll put up similar stats but Wemby takes it.
Giannis is an outside shot but I don’t think Heat have the record either.
Top 5 is something like
- Wemby
- Jokic/Shai
- Jokic/Shai
- Luka
- Giannis
- Comment on Tyrese Haliburton On First Game Back from Achilles Injury 5 hours ago:
Definitely, I loved the Pacers run to the finals and losing Tyrese to an Achilles in game 7 was brutal.
Feel like even with some front runners for the chip there’s a lot of teams that have a good shot this year.

Yeah the constant whining has to be especially annoying to other players.

- Comment on The Los Angeles Clippers Have Been Stripped of 5 First Round Picks in Kawhi Case 1 month ago:
From my understanding the CBA doesn’t give silver the power to suspend players for this so the contract voiding is really the only thing he could’ve done and I think they went a little light on Kawhi so he doesn’t appeal which leaves Ballmer little options to fight this.
It was light enough that Kawhi even admitted people around him (I.e. his uncle) did this which really seals the clippers fate here.
- Comment on The Los Angeles Clippers Have Been Stripped of 5 First Round Picks in Kawhi Case 1 month ago:
Wow really glad they threw the book at Ballmer and the Clippers.
Would have really lost my interest in the league if they had let this slide since it just makes the richest teams have a massive advantage. Really glad they did this.

It’s mostly going to be how the instances handle federation and other policies, basically the same as .ca and .zip are different.
- Comment on DeMar DeRozan has agreed to sign with the Denver Nuggets 1 month ago:
Yeah only way they can make up for Watson is upgrading like zeke with the pics, otherwise it’s a step back and wasting jokic prime

- Comment on Watson to Cavs in 3 Team Trade 2 months ago:
Only thing for Denver would be if they can package these with Zeke to get a solid player.
I hope that’s a this offseason move cause they need depth and you want time to build chemistry but I’m guessing its going to be a trade deadline move.

- Comment on Another Clippers-Kawhi side deal 2 months ago:
Saw somewhere else bring up that ballmer was already fined for something like this was Deandre Jordan. Really don’t see how you can just give him another slap on the wrist.
Way too many instances of Kawhi getting paid to do nothing for them to not take picks at least, really may need to suspend Kawhi for a year too at this point.

Seems like it may end up being a deal to get the tax charges dropped.
