Whata boring game. It almost looks like we're bothering Mitchell by asking him to play today.

The Poole deal was Joe cleaning up the salary cap mess that Griffin left. Believe it or not, NOP was set to enter the luxury tax this season. The entire Poole trade package saved them about $6 million and just snuck them under the luxury tax line. That obviously saved them luxury tax payments, but by being a non-tax paying team, it also made them eligible to receive the payments those teams receive from the luxury tax teams. So they saved $6 million in raw salary + Whatever the luxury tax penalty would have been. And they were eligible for the payout from tax paying teams, which equaled about $11 million for each team. So the trade saved ownership somewhere between $20-$30 million this season. Sometimes you have to eat a **** sandwich.

If he drops one more spot in the draft, maybe we don't end up with Killian. At least we didn't draft Patrick Williams over Okongwu.

That is fair. But both conference have recently signed new GoR deals and there was almost no momentum for a super league. The little there was mostly came from ESPN. Both decided to punt on it for the next 10+ years. I think fans are more interested in a super league than the actual football programs are.

Robinson vs last year Beasley Last year, Beasley took 9.3 3PTA's per game and made 3.9 for a 41.6% shooting% Robinson this year is taking 7.3 and making 3.1 for a 41.8% shooting%

Speaking of pace

Probably plays a part. Ausar and Cade missing games hurts too. Both are good rebounders for their position, and both trigger the break. So missing them probably hurts. There is also a good chance I'm wrong about wanting to play faster. I just looked up the 5 fastest playing teams, and all of them are terrible. Miami, Dallas, Portland, Sacramento, and Washington.

Maybe. But JB hammers home the idea of accountability quite a bit. Hard to do that and play a guy who isn't really earning his minutes.

None of this really matters. Eventually, that NFL revenue will flatten out. When that happens, they lobby congress to change the laws about broadcasting on Saturdays and crush the NCAA or whatever version they have at the time. That gives them another 5-7 nationally televised games to charge advertisers for.

At this point, Holland could be the odd man out in the rotation. Jenkins, Stew, Robinson, LeVert will be the first 4 off the bench when they are healthy. If JB goes 10 deep, #10 would probably be a coin flip between Green and Holland.

OSU could get that money in a super league, probably even more. The fact they are willing to give up 10 more years on GoR should show you they don't want anything to do with a super league. Right now, the only school with the power and influence they enjoy in their conference is Michigan. A super league would erode their power base by quite a large margin.

Irrelevant when they spend it. And I want them spending it on better players and coaches. There isn't a faster way to increase revenue for a CFB program than investing in better talent. Better talent usually creates a better product (Not always) and a better product creates demand, and demand is king. Demand lets me charge $20 more a ticket, $10 more for parking, $2 more per beer, $1 more per hot-dog, etc. Now your stadium is at capacity, maybe we need another 10,000 seats added on in the south end zone. So on and so on. I realize it's easy to say, just spend more on players/coaches and then start backing up revenue dump trucks. I understand it will still take a lot of smart people to come up with and execute a plan to make that money work. I also understand not all 18 schools will be able to do it. I don't care. If we wait around for a plan that all 18 schools can implement successfully, we will never have a plan. No, these are not payday loans. A payday loan starts the same as any loan. They give you money today, and you give them some of your future revenue. What makes a payday loan bad is the 300%, 400%, 500% interest they are going to charge you. At a 3.5% interest rate, these are the furthest thing from payday loans. I doubt the Big Ten could approach a commercial bank and get a 3.5% loan. Having said that, I still wouldn't make the deal. But the money side of things isn't nearly as bad as people want to make it out to be.

$350m repaid on $190m borrowed over 20 years is about a 3.5% loan. How bad/good the deal is depends on what type of ROI you think you can get on the $190m infusion. If you think you can earn >=6% welllllll

Another blah game from Holland. Cade with a couple of key hoops down the stretch to ice it. Thompson was big on defense at the end
-
Thompson with two steals and a block the last two minutes
-
Here is how I would judge the deal. You receive $190 million and if revenue grows at 2% a year for the next 20 years, you give up over $350,000,000 in future revenue. At 4% growth, it's $439 million. 6% growth, it's just over $550 million. No thanks.

Hawks are in a similar situation as the Pistons. They have three starters out .
-
The Hawks not having red in their uniform is just wrong.
-
Castle out for two weeks. San Antonio now missing Victor, Harper, and Castle.
-
Now Gianni's is out and will be evaluated in two weeks.

And now we know why USC was not on board. https://x.com/tonypaul1984/status/1990516355913937366
