    the pistons are reminding me of the lions a bit. "we're not going to add talent because we're good with our culture and our people. next man up!" it was hubris for the lions. the pistons seem to be preaching patience and are saving their coin to extend ausar and duren (and i wouldnt be surprised if they pay tobias too). but sometimes falling in love with your own talent instead of adding outside talent is just as bad as making a gamble trade for short term improvement. you have the best record in a weak eastern conference, why not add someone who could potentially take you over the top? you never know what the future is, cade could sprain his ankle or have a calf sprain next year. look at orlando's season this year. strike while the iron is hot.

    i keep seeing all these useful backup point guards going into trade exceptions for middling second round picks or nothing prospects and all i can think of is "are we really refusing to upgrade our backup point guard because of daniss jenkins"? you can call me a hater all you - because its true - but i'd feel a lot better with a more proven commodity backing up cade against a team that is trying on defense in the playoffs.

    what would you give up for kwahi to detroit?

    i think youre making a lot of assumptions based on very little evidence. the same thing i do when i say it might matter to him. i have no idea what skubal thinks.
  5. buddha
    skubal wins. good, he deserves the money.

    the teams still do get to control player costs for the first six years of their major league career, not to mention all the years they are in the minor leagues. regardless of the outcome of skubal's arb hearing, the tigers will still be paying him less than his market value next season. the system still works to hold down player salaries, as it was designed to do.

    is charlotte doing smart things now? do they actually have a plan and a bright future, or will they always be tethered to lamelo's injuries and ego that will ultimately scuttle their plans?

    btw, note that the bulls got next to nothing for ayo or coby. to be fair to ayo and coby, the bulls are stupid and waited until they had no value to trade them, especially coby. otoh, they never had as much value as some seemed to think. both are very flawed players.
  9. buddha
    the bulls now have the most second round picks in the league. who has the second most? detroit. but apparently they arent going to use any of them to get a player who could help them now.

    and their owner isnt very likeable either.
  11. buddha
    The bulls have traded almost their whole team for mostly peanuts other than patrick williams who is untradeable and josh giddey. how does their GM - who put the team together and drafted most of these players - still have a job?

    hopefully. the injuries might be a sign of decline. regardless, loke you said, if he can find his stroke again, he'll be good for them. And heurter finding his stroke is more likely to occur than thinking someone who never had a stroke (like holland or ausar) will suddenly develop one.

    his 3 point shooting has declined for 3 years now. it might just be he's slowing down and isnt as good anymore. he's still an upgrade on ivey for this year and he gets ivey's cap hold off their books.

    honestly, none of us know what skubal feels.
  15. buddha
    1) i dont think so. 2) if so, then sell the team if you think that prohibits you from competing. 3) they wont sell the team because they still make money.

    $38.5 for valdez and you wont give your home grown, cy young x2 starter more than $19?

    Need to make some moves to avoid the usual post all star/olympic/4 nation collapse.

    Illitch doesnt want to win! he only wants to make money.

    in nhl circles that is probably seen as a positive. beat someone up? he's a real man.

    watching msu-minnesota. fears has already received a tech for kicking a guy in the balls. earlier he hit the guy in the throat. then he just hit him in the head. he's the black grayson allen. total dirty player.

    i'm not worried about the contract, i'm worried about the age. he's got a lot of goals this year, but jis shooting percentage is higher than its ever been in his career. yzerman has always liked him, so he may deal for him. i'd rather spend a first on defense this year. i wouldnt be too upset by stamkos, but by golly i wouldnt be overjoyed! better than elias petersson...
  22. buddha
    i have no interest in stamkos, but i can almost assure you that yzerman does.
  23. buddha
    i'd take him. he wont help woth your spacing issues but he can still pass and lead a second unit.
  24. buddha
    age is not the number okc should be concerned with, their real concern will be the luxury tax and how to pay all those guys.

    bulls finally embrace the tank.
