If we're moving on from Lopez, make giannis the center. Get a Portis type (if Portis isn't back) to pair with him at times and maybe try to find a big oaf as your 10th man or something to bang in the...

So, for what it's worth, that link doesn't work for me. But if I remember correctly. I think we usually did you pick 3 guys in ranked order for each pick and it's something like 5 pts if we draft...

I'd be game. I dont need a prize or anything, so that doesn't need to be part of this if we do it in my mind. It's been pretty dead around here lately, so hopefully a few more jump back in, but I'd...

I will add, I do think it's very unlikely Pitts falls to 9. The league seems to love him. There might be a path, but I think it's super slim. If you're trading from 4 to 9, do so assuming you won't...

That last part is what I was thinking too. Atlanta's offense is far from perfect, but they aren't awful. As awesome as Pitts would be on that offense, it doesnt help the defense that got shredded...

Basically the long and short of it is you get comp picks for losing unrestricted free agents. Restricted FAs and guys you cut/waive don't count. Comp picks are largely based upon the contract the...

I'm not sure Boyle matters either way. Didn't we choose to not tender him a contract? I dont think he has was a true Ufa, so I don't think he counts.

I'm still concerned about the bats. As a whole, the hitting hasn't been good, but it's been semi timely so scoring hasn't always been awful. But expecting Shaw to stay fully on track is probably a...

It might have actually been the Knicks to be honest. I think even PSD Frontpage had an article about how the Knicks want a Randle, Grant and Barrett "big 3" which is definitely not a "big 3" but...

I absolutely agreed with pulling burnes the other day. Long innings on offense, especially if the pitcher gets on, can sap some energy for pitchers. So given we had a big lead, I liked it alot.
...

There was a rumor that a team offered 3 1sts for Grant. So I doubt we are getting him for DD and Lopez plus.

This year has been a really strange year for draft analysis as a whole though. I know there's always descrepancies, but this year feels extra crazy, especially at the spots the Packers are likely to...

Interesting article here about the Packers and RAS, which is Relative Athletic Score. For anyone who's not super familiar, RAS measures athelticism controlled for body size on a 10 point scale....

A bit of an aside to that last point too. Alot of that is our own fault though as well because of that 24 hour sports cycle. We've created these corporate stars because we follow every waking moment...

I mean, what you're saying is an opinion. So universally, you're answer isn't correct. If you're a fan of outside shooting, there's never been a better time to watch the NBA. The types of shots guys...

And I'm guessing every generation had felt that way. Sports adjust. They always do. The basketball you grew up on has changed. And the generation before you probably thought the basketball you grew...

But the last part cannot be true. They have a certain amount of money they have to spend. And if too many owners use the "pressure relief valve" and use all the soft cap exceptions, players lose...

But it doesnt just apply to players at the end of their deal. Even if the Cavs would have to take a dead cap hit due to different contract structures and got virtually no space this year, they would...

But that doesn't make it right. And the NBA players have to put a percentage of cash in escrow, so if too many teams go over the soft cap, all of their salaries can be suppressed. It still comes down...

Not super relevant to the discussion, but I actually disagree with that bottom part. Everyone says guaranteed contracts are better for the players, and that's simply not broadly true. Guaranteed...

Doesn't the NBA have some of the most player movement in all sports? LeBron has played for 3 franchises, 4 if you count Cleveland twice for his two stints. Durant has played for 3 orgs. Kawhi has...

I don't think think it does though. The sports are way too different to think the financial structure is the only thing seperating them.

The advantage the NFL system has is that the hard cap and...

Part of what makes hard caps possible is the NFLs non guaranteed contracts. If you sign a RB to a deal and he blows his knee out, you can get out of that deal. That doesn't happen in the NBA. Sure...

Part of it is location, but stars are a bigger part of it. The bucks haven't been tier 1 buyout guys but Marvin Williams cmae lats year and he's a higher end buyout guy last year. I tbink location...

Agree. I didn't catch last night, but as a whole, Rodgers has probably been the best one outside of the guys familiar with the show. Richards and Jennings were probably better, but they've also been...
