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.

But who would want the Andretti's with their massive funding and being backed up by a major car company. Screw those guys!

That was his best closeout in 6 months.

He has two max contracts he could sign. 25% of salary cap - This is available in all scenarios. Sign and then demand trade. Demand trade then sign with new team. Even entering free agency. 30% of the cap - You have to do certain things to trigger this. The things left available to Cade are win DPOY next year or make all NBA next year. The one catch is you can only sign this type of deal with the original team that drafted you. So potentially the Pistons could offer the most since they are the only team that could offer the 30%. But he is not winning DPOY. If he continues to improve all league isn't totally out of the question. But his odds would not be good IMO.
