At least me might be in the running for Cooper Flagg or Ace Bailey next year. Because you are supposed to be competing for the #1 pick in year 5 of your rebuild.

My three summer of 2024 predictions. Weaver is retained. This is a bonus pick. #1. Wiseman extension. It wont be more than $10M per year but still unwarranted. #2. Trade a young (possibly multiple) guy for a flawed player. Example being Zack Lavine. Combination of overpaid, injury prone, or puts up empty stats. In the case of Lavine, all three. #3. Sign Miles Bridges to a free agent contract.

Forget the draft class. Forget the free agent class. The only thing that matters this summer is if Weaver is let go or not.

Ivey had better teammates in high school.

Someone did this on Twitter and I thought it was interesting. Who thought on game #306 of the rebuild that their starting lineup would be Cunningham, Ivey, Wiseman, Brown Jr., and Evbuomwan.

I don't even care Max went out with mechanical failure.

Does the maintenance staff at Maranello even remember where the flags are?

Miles McBride becomes the 2nd player to play all 48 minutes in a regulation game this season. Josh Hart is the other. No need to tell you who they play for.

The Mackinac Bridge from space.

This is that kid from Oaklands shot chart for the season. In the Kentucky game I think he took 21 shots, all of them 3 pointers. Someone said he had 4 dribbles the entire game. Funny thing. He only shoots 37% from three which with the college short line is not that great.

Tell me more about trading Duren.

Oh Lord. The Wiseman hype train is now boarding.

Expansion also hurts Gores ability to move the team. The top 2-4 possible locations will be taken by the expansion teams.

My wild speculation? Gores sticks around until expansion is over with. They are talking about a $3B entry fee for each team to be split between current owners. If things are not turned around on the court by then, he takes the fee and starts looking to sell.

From Basketball-Reference: Forbes said they made just over $80m in profit for 2022-23.

Road House was entertaining enough I guess. The CGI was brutal though and that is always a big turn off for me.

I would be 100% against the league forcing anything. Only time I agree with that is a situation like Sterling in LA. You would also have a hard time justifying the league stepping in. This isn't a Philadelphia situation where they were attempting to lose. The Pistons are trying to win they just suck at it. Gores also spends money. They are always well above the minimum salary floor. They play in a new arena and just spent millions building a state of the art practice facility.
