the wongs are probably due for regression, and NO ONE IN THE EAST EVER LOSES so they may drop in the standings; however, you do this every time the wings lose a couple games in a row. you say illitch doesnt care, yzerman is dumb, and we'll never win. then they win 3 in a row and you apologize. until the next time... 🙂

if they can get thomas, they should do everything to get him.

i dont know how you can be in the broadcast business for 40 years and never learn how not to say "um" in every sentence. that's my woods critique.

some idiot will believe it.

one injury to a key player and the whole team falls apart.

ivey not developing is really hurting them. go get mpj. the nets want to lose games and everyone else is keeping their powder dry for the giannis sweepstakes.

now he's missing dunks too.

MAKE A LAYUP! ANY LAYUP WILL DO!

he's such a bitch.

hopefully he did the usual izzo and passive aggressively blame the refs.

i'll take that bet.

if caris misses a few more games he wont qualify for any nba awards this year...

i love how they cut to JB after holland fouls the 3 pt shooter from behind AFTER he's shot the ball: "jesus ****ing christ..."

no one on this damn team can shoot. youre playing a team of 40 year old has beens and 20 year old never will be's. come on.

he cannot shoot. not one bit. unless its a dunk, he cant make it. its pathetic for someone so athletic.

curling is awesome. love curling. i want to see curlers on those 70s athletics shows. they'll show cheryl tiegs who is boss.

patrick ewing dislikes this post.

would you give up a first for zion? a first and ivey?

has steve kerr talked to his brother in law about china yet? he hasnt said much about it in a while.

arent trey murphy and herb jones 3 and d guys?

i know this makes me a bad person and a hater, but seeing the leafs in last place just makes me happy.

if you are going to bet on duren's continued development and give him a big deal this summer, you better use those draft picks to find an athletic shooter who can take some of the load of cade. they cant continue to exist with zero spacing. ausar is great but cant shoot. holland tries hard but cant shoot. ivey means well but hasnt recovered from getting cheap shotted...and cant shoot. this is the group that was destined to be your core. you found your star in cade, now use your future picks to get a pippen to his jordan.

i dont really agree with any of this. 1) i disagree with the basic theory behind it, which appears to be that every team needs to be on an "equal playing field" or a "more equal playing field." i believe you should be rewarded for success and punished for failure, not the american sports way, which is to reward failure (the ability to get the best young talent at an extremely cheap price) and punish success (the more you spend on labor, the more you have to pay a penalty). so we will never agree because i value this more than you. 2) historically, teams that dont spend can also win. the royals won. the rays were in the world series. the brewers and cleveland won divisions. lower payroll teams can and DO compete. and win! the current system allows them to do so. it does a really good job of it, quite frankly. i dont care that small payroll teams dont win every year, or every other year, or even once every five years, but they DO WIN. And they are in the playoffs every season, winning divisions over much higher payroll teams. the yankees didnt win every year in the 80s, 90s, and 00s when they had the highest payroll and the dodgers likely wont win every single year either. and even if they did, i'd be fine with it, just like i'm fine woth baseball in the 1950s when the yankees DID almost win every year. 3) higher payroll teams can make up for mistakes easier. sure. they can sign big, fancy free agents like juan soto, alex bregman, aaron judge, gerrit cole, or xander bogaerts that supposedly guaranteed championships but turned out not to. 4) competing and not winning is ok. sport is fun because it's sport. and baseball is better when it has a villain to root against.

thomas is a 26 year old, in his prime, talented two way center with tons of compete signed to a very very team friendly deal. why would st louis trade him? and if they did, why would they trade him for nate danielson - a prospect rated by most in the back end of the top 100 prospects - and a pick likely to be in the 20s (if the wings got thomas)? i dont see it. you'd have to throw in genborg and/or mbn plus a pick to even consider it. this isnt quinn hughes, thomas is SIGNED. hughes was going to walk for nothing. you'd have to blow st louis away. if i'm st louis, i start the bidding at seider. detroit won't do that. but then i say edvinsson and danielson and a #1. that said, i hope youre right. i'd love to have thomas, even if that's not what detroit needs. detroit needs a top 4 defenseman more than it needs a center.
