I had to check to make sure the comments weren't somehow sorted by stupidity holy moly

Also Kawhi is not even 4 years older than Wiggins.

Wiggles. Theyre already pretty close to the same player but wiggins has the edge of his athleticism and being a few years younger.

No, its really not. He's 19, a lockdown defender, jumps out of the gym, and is better than Kawhi on offense. Not to mention the ridiculous potential

Less than a week ago that cop was apparently fine but his jaw was "a little sore" (as if). Crazy that it's been upgraded to a concussion. I assume in another week he'll practically be on death's door.

What locations beyond LAL make sense for Horford assuming his timeline is “be on a pretty good team now”?

The Clippers with Kawhi? Houston swapping him for Capela hard caps the Rockets at the apron, which Fertitta might like because he’s apparently some sort of cheapo Trump-style pudding brain guy. Some other left field S&T destination like Milwaukee?

Brooklyn IMO.

Yeah I don't see how the Bucks get down to signing Horford territory. That's crazy talk.

All of the young teams building around stars now makes me think about how insanely important it is to be very careful with who you bring in, because with the way the CBA works you're going to be "stuck" with that to a certain extent once your young stars start getting paid. For better or worse teams like Philly and Milwaukee are now in a position where their best move is to bring everyone back because they don't have the flexibility to do otherwise for the most part. I'm not saying that any of those teams are in a bad position (the opposite really in the case of Philly and Milwaukee), but you realistically only get one proper shot at putting guys around a young core and it's pretty interesting to watch it unfold.

20 mil for Malcolm Brogdon strikes me as a lot. Or maybe I’m dumb and that’s fair

I think it's good. He shot 50/40/90 this year. I don't think you can expect that out of him every season but there's nothing about his improvement since the first season that looks totally unsustainable or anything. Seems like exactly the kinda guy you'd want to put around Giannis.

Because there's no way the writer has spent even 1% of the time scouting these players as the teams choosing them have, it seems to me to be an incredibly egotistical exercise to rate a choice from a place of relatively total ignorance. That's why I'm confused by all this, I can't imagine any one writer, much less a bunch of them, assuming or pretending to know more than several hundred scouts.

I feel like Evan Turner is one of those guys who if he played in the 70s, he'd be considered an all time great. It's just bizarre because he's clearly worked his rear end off and has legit skills, but it's clear he has no innate greatness or like a visceral sense of the game that's required to excel at the NBA level in his era.

I'd love to see him in the BIG3 or maybe China, because he can absolutely make mere mortal players look foolish with his iso skills.

He really really looks like he should be better at basketball than he is.
