how did adding paddack and morton NOT make the team worse? what were the stats of the guys they replaced? and what were the stats of the guys they could have traded for but didnt? you'd have to know both of those. it appears harris has set up an organization that has done well in creating an environment to develop young players. that means a lot. in the long run, that will be more important than short term success in qualifying for the wild card two years in a row. but his trade deadline moves hurt the team. youre straining credulity by saying paddack and morton didnt hurt the overall results.

what a joke. not as much of a joke as the miami heat retiring jordan's number (or the league trying to ape mlb by retiring bill russell's jersey) but still a joke. dell curry was a guy who stood in the corner and shot 3s. played zero defense, didnt handle the ball. he's not close to his son. charlotte should be embarassed.

what did he do with jokic? it would likely be similar here. mpj is still a huge injury risk too. look, anyone they would get will have flaws. people usually dont trade superstar players. since there doesnt seem to be a lot of options out there, its going to cost a ton to get him. would you give up harris, ivey and multiple first round picks for mpj?

a perfect time to trade all their remaining future first round picks for anthony davis. that will show giannis they are committed to winning! no way he'll leave then!

it IS more than that. the university's purpose - and the reason its granted non-profit, non-taxable status - is that it is a public good, paid for by the state, to educate its citizens and produce value for the state. that education and the fruits of it through research, development, and producing the next generation of talented americans is the reason it exists. not a football team. not a rock climbing wall. not a state of the art food court and gym. not a assistant to the assistant provost for student inclusion at the dental school. universities have lost their way in some many areas. the relentless pursuit of profit via the football team is just the most obvious example.

that was a schedule loss.

white hasnt been healthy for any length of time this season. i'd be wary about that.

ftfy freeman should take that job if its offered. the steelers are a sound organization even if they dont win every year.

From the athletic: potential TPE uses for the pistons and their $14 million exception. bobby portis kelly olynk luke kennard sam hauser max christie the only guys on this list who get moved, imo, are kennard and maybe christie. i dont want kennard unless there is no one else. he's duncan robinson without the try hard effort on D. he'd be hunted just like robinson is going to be hunted. christie i would take a look at, but ehat would dallas need to move him? a first rounder? is he worth that? i guess if there is no oyher alternative to use that pick in a trade...

that would be so dumb that i can see milwaukee doing it.

i think harris deserves credit for that. but i dont think he's blameless with what happened last year. his trade deadline acquisitions - something he has direct control over - were terrible. they contributed to losing. thus, he deserves blame for last year's historic collapse. probably more than he deserves credit for the prior year's amazing end of season run. your original post gives the impression that you dont think harris has done anything that has affected the team negatively on the field. if that is your assertion, i disagree. but i might be reading too much into your post. again, i dont think he deserves to be fired. on the whole, i like his approach and agree with most of it. we will have to see how the prospects progress.

blowing the division the way they did last year was failing on the field. especially since harris' additions at the trade deadline were big culprits on that failing. that's not cause for harris to get fired, but it should call his process into question, or at least review.

lavine should come cheap. like, what is sacramento going to include to entice me to take him?

if were af the point where we can all admit this is minor league football designed to make a profit for the supposed non-profit academic institutions, then i suppose its an improvement. it further waters down an already watered down regular season, but that ship has passed. in a world where their labor must be paid OVER the table, the universities need cash. more product for television is the easiest way to do that.

its a good thing the celtics never did an illegal screen.
