    The three votes who put Duren on the 1st team. Frank Isola - Sirius XM NBA Radio Gary Washburn - Boston Globe annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd Stephen A. Smith - ESPN None of the three had Ausar on their first team. Isola and Washburn didn't have Ausar on their second team either. https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/46/2026/05/2025-26-Kia-NBA-All-Defensive-Team-Voter-Selections.pdf

    Average point per shot mid-range - 0.835 Average point per shot 3 point attempts - 1.078

    Wouldn't that be something? Hey Jalen, here's a bucket full of money. Now go learn the worst shot on the floor. League avg FG% from the mid-range this season was 41.6%. At that rate Duren would have to shoot >28% from three to get the same points per shot. That assumes Duren could even get to league average. He should be working on his three point shooting and totally ignore the mid-range. Mid-range shots attempted this season. Just over 22,000. Three pointers attempted. Just over 90,000.

    $25 million. If he hits $30 million you have to trade Thompson, and it has to be done this summer. You can't have your 4th and 5th starter eating up 40% of your cap when they can't score 20 points combined.

    He spent last summer working on a 3PT shot then got hurt 5 games into the season. If he develops that 3PT shot this is good value combined with his good defense. Still, quite a bit of money for a guy who hasn't proven that shot and isn't the most durable.

    Mitchell and Jalen Williams both out tonight for OKC.

    Stretching a contract is one of my red flags for terrible management.

    Oracle. It probably won't totally disappear like Lehman did. But if things go south for AI Oracle will look like a very different company, possibly even bought by someone else. They have taken on over $35 billion in debt in this FY alone. They are up over $100 billion total now. They have pretty hitched their wagon to OpenAI by providing them with cloud service. If OpenAI goes belly up, things will get very interesting for Oracle.

    Isn't that why Musk did all the arm twisting to get all the rules changed? Instead of the index funds buying SpaceX in 12-18 months like normal, they will be buying it 15 days after its listed. At a $1.5 trillion market cap that is going to be a massive buy and will artificially prop up the price.

    Pretty skeptical that is legit.

    I'm not sure this guy is UPS material.

    Yep. Not quite sure when the other one was, but it was after the new year.

    It's that time of year again. Where NBA teams drastically overvalue big men.

    What is going on?

    Other than game one, this series has kind of sucked.

    Someone needs to knock Victor into the third row.

    Looks like we're getting a game 7.

    Banks can sometimes do the right thing. I think.

    Here is how the new draft rules would have impacted the Pistons if they had been in place when they were bad. 2020-21 They had the 2nd worst record in the league. They ended up with the #1 pick but in the new system they would have had only two lottery balls instead of 3, lowering their chances of landing #1. The furthest they could have fallen that year was #6 but under the new system, they could fall to #12. Non-playin teams that did not have one of the three worst records would have had a better chance at the #1 pick than Detroit. 2021-22 The third-worst record and they picked #5. But as one of the 3 worst teams they would only have 2 lottery balls instead of 3. They would have been ineligible for the #1 pick. If they had drawn #1 it would have been moved down to #2. Again, they could have fallen to #12 under the new system. 2022-23 The worst record in the league, only 2 lottery balls instead of 3. They would have been ineligible for a top 5 pick because they had been top 5 the previous two seasons. So the best case would have been #6. Again, only two lottery balls. The #6 pick that year was Anthony Black. 2023-24 Worst record in the league. They would be eligible for the #1 pick and a top 5 pick this year. But again, only 2 lottery balls instead of 3. 2024-25 No lottery 2025-26 No lottery So four years of being terrible and each season they could have dropped all the way to #12. NBA.com says a top 3 worst team will pick on average at #8.

    CC companies should do the right thing and not allow transactions to Robinhood. They won't, but they should.

    I think that Giannis-Dame combo just might work! Haynes is related to Giannis by marriage. His cousin is married to Giannis I believe.
