    Boras will go get all the potential offers. i'm sure he's already had conversations and knows what the market will be for skubal. he'll let skubal know his options and then he can decide. in other words, through backroom conversations he's probably already "taken skubal to market."

    Has okc built the best team of all time?

    markkanen will now miss the next five games for rest...

    markkanen is exactly the type of player this team needs: a big who can space the floor and shoot. i understand the concerns about health. for all of those aquisitions the big concern is price. markkanen is going to cost you all of your assets. murphy theoretically would too but for the fact that joe dumars and troy weaver are running that show. give paul reed a couple more big games and weaver will be offering you first round picks for him because, well, he's tall and gets rebounds. sexton would be an upgrade on jenkins. or they can just go get shroeder again, the kings are about to blow everything up yet again.

    shroeder is a vwt who performed well in the playoffs last year. that means something. jenkins has performed well in regular season games, which doesnt mean nearly as much. let's see how he holds up when teams are actually trying on defense. i like jenkins. i have nothing against him, but performing well in a coupke regular season games in november is not the same as staring down madison square garden in june. if they can upgrade for a reasonable price they should do it.

    zach lowe had the pistons 3/4 in the east so far. behind my, cleveland, and maybe milwaukee. he also said duren is a demon on defense now, so i'm not sure how much he watches our games. am i missing something? he still looks ponderous on the perimeter and too often is nailed to the ground at the basket. i dont see them all that often, is he better? of these potential trade acquisitions, which one would you take and what would you spend to get them? zack lavine lauri markkanen anthony davis ja morant zion trey murphy (just for del) collin sexton

    i'd feel a lot better about the playoffs with schroeder than jenkins. but he's playing pretty well now.

    it happens a lot when you dont plat any defense and your big man cant protect the rim. no one on the team can protect the rim. no one can defend the perimeter either. they can score. that's it.
  12. buddha
    giddey doesnt play defense either. they gave up almost 130 points to the pistons bench.

    bump.

    remember the year the tigers and white sox were battling down the stretch and ozzie came to detroit and took cabrera and the other venezuelan guys out drinking the night before? cabrera played like ass and the tigers lost.

    counterpoint: miguel cabrera. i had a friend who owned a pretty popular bar in ferndale. tigers players would be there all the time. he told me all kinds of stories about giving guys bottles of this and that. they'd pound the whole thing and then drive home. happened all the time. young, rich, and famous = party all the time.

    The auto industry and its feeder industries went through a bit of a downsizing in the late 80s, early 90s. there went your tax base. remember when Suh left the Lions for the dolphins? 4.5% tax versus 0% tax is a big deal when youre making that kind of money. And youre a hockey fan, how many times in the last few years have you heard teams complain about losing free agents to low tax environments like florida or texas or vegas? tons. Detroit is not NY, Chicago, or LA where the cultural amenities, nightlife, and business opportunities outweigh tax considerations. Marginal things like taxes will hurt a destination like detroit. look, its not like detroit cant get free agents, it just has to overpay to get them or offer a championship window. Or both.

    so state income taxes is a big deal for some folks.

    fellas, every city in america has nice suburbs. detroit is not a nice city. its "fine." but it has crap weather, is not a party town, is not a destination, and has high taxes. no one is coming to detroit unless the franchise is close to a championship and is overpaying massively. i like the tigers being more of the rays than the dodgers. however, i do think they should have ponied up at the deadline this year and should have overpaid for bregman because they only have skubal for one more year.

    oh fortuna...
  23. buddha
    it's almost like you wrote a book about this once...
  24. buddha
    hopefully that adds a little something to the competition. the international guys will try hard and the american players will blow it off.
  25. buddha
    i dont think so.
