  1. How many players have wrapped up the MVP award before we sing Auld Lang Syne?
  2. I was sad when they took New Yankee Workshop off the air. Just found out they have started a Youtube channel and are uploading old episodes. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnWRRwGB6-QZ9rxcWifx5Lg
  3. Cheap shot from Mo. But Killian is a bitch for not only hitting someone in the back of the head, but using his elbow, not even a punch. What a twat. He should get 10 games IMO. Hitting someone in the back of the head is really dangerous.
  4. In a straight line he is one of the fastest players in the game. But Ivey does not have a lot of lateral quickness and that is what you need for defense.
  5. They went on to win it and Luka had a triple double. 60 points, 21 rebounds, 10 assists. Another efficient performance. He shot 21-31 from the field.
  6. You will have a very difficult time naming any player who demanded a trade and got it with 3+ years on his deal. It is always guys with a year or two left. Or guys like PG13 and AD who told their team they would not sign with them in their upcoming free agency, so it allowed their teams to at least get some value for them. KD didn't get his trade, at least yet. Kobe didn't get his.
  7. That is irrelevant. He does not have a no trade clause and he has 4 years left on his contract after this year. If Weaver can't build a team around him in four years where he wants to stay, well we need to have an entirely different discussion. You have to imagine we would be the #1 team Dallas wants to deal with if we held the #1 pick. Assuming no other teams are wanting to part with a Zion/Jokic/Giannis type player. Maybe if OKC had #2 and could offer Scoot, SGA, and multiple first round picks that would be more attractive. But Victor is the biggest prize since Lebron.
  8. Mark Cuban: Bitcoin Is a Good Investment, Gold Investors Are Dumb Proof you do not need to be smart to be rich. Cuban is the ultimate 'right place right time' guy. Extremely lucky to have started his company during the dot com boom where people were throwing around crazy money to buy any type of internet company. But he isn't even the dumbest guy on that TV show.
  9. Let me toss this out there. Say Detroit gets the #1 pick and Luka demands a trade. Would ya? I mean it will cost you Victor plus Ivey and I imagine at least two future 1st round picks. But its Luka. Luka and Cade together would be a lot of fun. Both are buckets and both can average 10 assists per game. You can put the ball in either ones hands at the end of a game. You still have Stew, Duren, Bey, and Hayes if he continues to improve. But here is the kicker. Luka is the only one on a huge contract. So you have space to sign another max guy. Or split it up and sign two really good, but not max guys. With Luka we would be a free agent destination. I would do it in a heartbeat.
  10. Watching last nights Mavs game against Houston. Luka is insane. 50 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists in the win. He shot 56% from the field and 50% from three, so it was not a chuck fest. Dallas is awful and without Luka would challenge Detroit for the worst record in the league. Of course 3 of their 5 starters last night were former Pistons, so that makes sense. They have done a horrible job building around Doncic. I wont be shocked if he demands a trade this summer.
  11. Eh, free agents are tough for a bad team. No max player is coming here. Anyone else will need to be overpaid so you have to be careful you don't end up with a Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva situation. They might be better off continuing to take on contracts for assets like they did with Burks.
  12. This gives a lot of reasons why I like Apple. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4566064-apple-stock-3-reasons-invest-2023 Toss in I think they are one of the best run companies with the best CEO. My biggest complaint is they have done nothing to develop their cloud services. They are really falling behind Microsoft, Amazon, Google, etc.
  13. I guess that would depend on your opinion of Burks. I think getting a 40% three-point shooter for two second round picks + paying Noel for a year is pretty good value. Noel also has a little trade value at the deadline and/or end of the season. The Pistons have a team option on Noel for next year so they can cut him this summer for nothing. A team looking to dump salary could be interested in trading for him to do so. Assuming they have something Detroit wants or will take on for picks.
  14. We traded for Noel. The Knicks wanted/needed to clear cap space to sign Brunson. We used our cap space to take on Burks and Noel so NY could create that space for Brunson. They also sent us two second round picks and we sent them four second round picks.
  15. All the players who spoke out against Robert Sarver are probably going to speak out against this. Right?
  16. I think "buying opportunity" gets thrown around way too much. But, Apple at or near its 52 week low certainly is attractive.
