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.

See you in 3 years when everyone hates this.

Why on earth do people still want Beasley back? He wasn't good in the playoffs last year. He has a pretty long history of being bad in the playoffs. He was last years Duren.

Pretty sure they are voting on the new tanking rules today.

I'm afraid to ask how much Synergy costs. I would probably end up with some $13,000 a year subscription. Hmm, the graphic isn't showing. Click the link I guess.

Ausar Thompson Makes 1st Team All Defense
Deleterious replied to Deleterious's topic in Detroit Pistons
I don't understand this. Did they think he wasn't eligible? -
Mike Abdenour was robbed.

So all they have to do is turn Sasser/Holland/LeVert/Reed into a star. Oh boy. Pretty grim outlook and I think his number on Ausar is low. Why sign an extension that is $15 million a year lower than the max? That $30 million a year will be there next summer. Play out the year and hope your game continues to improve and sign a larger extension next summer. Also, if I'm Thompson's agent, no way I let him sign for anything less than Duren gets. Of course, any team paying Harris $17 million per for two years is probably in trouble no matter what.

Yeah, the depth and draft capital that OKC has is pretty crazy. McCain is a rotation player, but would be considered a 3rd string starter. He is starting in place of Ajay Mitchell their 38th pick in the Holland draft. He had a nice 2nd season averaging 13 PPG and has upped that to 15 PPG in the playoffs. Mitchell was starting in place of OKC's all NBA SG Jalen Williams. He was the #12 pick in the Jaden Ivey draft. It's not all sunshine and rainbows in OKC though. They had to give up this year's 1st rounder to get McCain. Now they are only left with two first round picks this year, #12 and #17. Poor bastards.

Wow. That is ugly. Stock dropped 5% after the reveal today.

Wemby needs to develop a post game for nights like tonight. Nothing extensive, just a move or two he can use when the outside shot isn't falling.

Billable hours about to check in.

Cavs do not control their own 1st round pick until 2030, so the first pick they can trade is 2031 and then 2033 is the 7th year, so you can't trade any past that. Is Mobley and two picks a half decade away going to land Giannis? I guess 2030/32 would both be swaps as well.
