Charlotte's really overdue for some lottery luck. Best they've ever done was in 2006, when they stayed flat at 3. They took Adam Morrison that year. 2008: Dropped from 8th to 9th 2012: Dropped from 1st to 2nd and missed out on Anthony Davis 2013: Dropped from 2nd to 4th In 2014, the Cavs leapfrogging Detroit did made the first-rounder the Pistons owed Charlotte convey a year early. Then again if they'd waited another year they'd have had 8 + 9 in the year they took Kaminsky, whiffed on Booker/Turner/Justise, and turned down all those Boston picks. They'd probably look a lot better with Doncic at SF instead of Kidd-Gilchrist

quote:Jackson possesses the potential to be an elite defensive player and tools to become an efficient two-way player. The Bulls know this well because his road roommate at Michigan State was Jack Hoiberg, Fred’s son. His shot-blocking ability should only improve as he matures and gets stronger; he won’t turn 19 until September. He also is adept at finishing with either hand. I just hope he's good, because if he's there he is deffo the Bulls pick.

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:The Sixers will have room for a max deal as soon as they pawn Bayless onto some other team. So LeBron/Paul George/whoever to The Process is confirmed. The problem is that a max wipes out the cap space needed to fortify the bench/keep JJ around. Cause the Sixers bench is uh, not great, as it stands. An army of guards with limited playing experience and Richaun Holmes is a very big weakness for a contending team. Sixers really need to bring back Illyasova, I think, and go find another wing somewhere. Belinelli is fun and a shameless gunner, but I'm not sure if we can fit him and Illysaova in with a max FA. If you sign LeBron, bench vets that can hit 3s on a discount will come. Amazing post. Can't wait to see what the order is tomorrow.

He's a good college coach. His rep just took a big hit from the NCAA scandals but all of those seem pretty silly in hindsight. It's hard to really say exactly what any NBA assistant does, but he was generally pretty well regarded in Houston.

https://theundefeated.com/features/new-orleans-pelicans-demarcus-cousins-im-shooting-to-be-ready-for-training-camp/ The therapy and rehab has me intrigued and a little optimistic. The little to no communication between him and his teammates and front office have me a bit worried, though. A believable answer to the unfollowing the team from Twitter question.

Ruh roh. https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/997602547824082944?s=19 quote:Appearing on Friday's episode of The Lowe Post, ESPN.com's Zach Lowe said Towns and the Timberwolves are "not in a good place internally."

It was typical Windhorst "everyone's getting traded" bullshit with Zach Lowe. Zach Lowe said a long time ago that transactions get the most traffic by far, and so he adopted that as his focus, rather than helping people understand what happened to make a basketball play happen. To their credit, they said "this will make the aggregators go crazy" and added large caveats about it being only a suggestion of a rumor. If there were transcripts and you had a robot, you could probably quantify his predictions as "93% wrong." The gap between Karl Towns's value last offseason and this offseason is large, it would be a bad time to try and get rid of him

this is some good spicy poo poo but you're right, Windhorst is basically an NBA gossip columnist and anytime Lowe has him on its a bunch of "well, you know I dont have any info but.......it wouldn't surprise me if X superstar was X this offseason." It actually reminds me a lot of how they talk about transfer rumours in European soccer. Much closer to Page6/Entertainment Weekly than legit journalism.

Literally every good player the Timberwolves have are constantly in talks to be traded, I promise you any further discussion will involve the Knicks or Lakers getting Towns for future firsts and trash. If there is a problem between Towns and the FO, the owners will shitcan the front-office. They aren't stupid about who is selling tickets. Dejan Bimble posted:The gap between Karl Towns's value last offseason and this offseason is large, it would be a bad time to try and get rid of him Towns had his best season by WS, BPM, TS%, Blocks, Rebounding and Drawing Free Throws per shot. His usage went down, but...duh. I don't think there is any trade value problem with KAT other than you'll never ever get value back in a trade.

They're not joking, it's their fantasy trades. They published it the day after Simmons.had his "Wild/Plausible" podcast with Lowe. I'm referring to the laziness of it; e.g. not knowing that Philly already has two firsts and writing "Guys, Bryan Colangelo with two first-round draft picks … WHAT COULD GO WRONG?" isn't a huge deal, but it's awkward. A lot of the Ringer basketball guys seem to be so spread out project-wise that they're a bit frazzled. Simmons himself was throwing out trade ideas on the podcast that were based on Rozier being an expiring this summer. You and I don't get paid for shitposting about basketball and we're both better than that.
