Lockback posted:It's really pretty easy to avoid those, discrimination lawsuits around hiring are rare. Honestly it's mostly some HR exec trying desperately to justify their existence and peddling snake oil to do it. I had to go to some seminar about these for my old job, so sometimes I'd apply to a place I didn't care about and answer the test either exactly how they wanted or get the exact opposite of the score they hoped for. Got some funny emails and calls from bewildered HR women

kingcobweb posted:Is Ja better now than John Wall was at his prime? That's a great question. I'd say no, but barely. Ja is much easier guy to fit since he can do everything on offense. Peak Wall was streaking like a meteorite across the court, a great passer, and a good defender. Ja's defense is pretty terrible right now.

There is a belief around the league that Atlanta is more likely to trade Cam Reddish than to sign him to an extension, per Brian Windhorst This rumor is driving pistons fans crazy, driving them into spasms of Jerami for Cam trade proposals

Rick posted:I think Cam fits Detroit's timeline better but he's so inconsistent. I guess Jerami Grant is too but usually when he has a bad game he still gets to his PPG which is important. When Cam has a bad game he puts almost nothing in the point column. Grant's defense is better too although Cam may be the better defender in a year or two. I guess Cam is significantly cheaper to pay. , I just don’t see the hype. Jeremi Grant is already a three level scorer (if not efficient as a first option), and a good defender if he doesn’t have to be the first option. Cameron is just hoping to be some thing like Jeremi Grant at some point in the future, but he’s already up for an extension To me that’s just a gift to the Hawks, who need a consistent compliment And secondary action guy to play with Trae Young Tell me cam has been a disappointment since Duke. Is his rep coasting on his high school hype?

He’s said that he tries to genuinely educate people about how basketball works when he’s on TV, and it shows. I really like him as a commentator. Obviously I have michigan and msu bias towards him but he seems to want to teach people basketball, which I think makes the whole media world around it better, if people actually understand what's up and aren't locked in on ppg etc

I'm starting to realize that 80% of the reason the NBA threads are so good here is that MV was prolific, really smart, and passionate about ball. Look how lazy our posting has become in his absence. Is it because we're all old and washed, or is it because there's no inspirational leader drat we're like the celtics Come back MV, or step up someone else and become a genius ball poster

Paracaidas posted:One of the Wolves local writers (and favorite of NBA Agents), Wolfson, had Windhorst on his podcast this week. The two mildly interesting notes is that teams are interested in Okogie (if given away for free, I'd have to assume) and that the Wolves have had multiple discussions with Houston, likely around Wood. Lockback posted:They've always wanted to keep D'Lo, they got rid of Rubio because he and D'Lo couldn't really share the court. They just would move him for Simmons. I think they still would even if they are clearly a much better team when D'Lo plays (something like 16-12 with him, 3-8 without). I think if Wood takes Vanderbilt's spot, the wolves look great, as long as they have a guard who can get their bigs the ball. leftist heap posted:I’ve been following soccer for a bit and the NBA thread seems like 10x better than anything that goes on in TRP. That's the thing. MV and some other old timers here like Rick built a Posting Culture where you couldn't just be a dickhead, and you had to come with the info and insight. We need to honor that.

The Pistons have beat multiple good teams in a short span since Jerami Grant went out with his UCL tear. Saddiq Bey has been incredible at 4, Cade's rebounds have dropped but his efficiency has gone way up. Josh Jaclson and Hami Diallo Have had games on the same night multiple times, which never happened before. The production at small forward/shooting guard is why Rodney McGruder wasdisposable I think there's some real Grant Ewing theory stuff going on. He's not a first option, he's a 3rd banana at best. He probably deserves to play for a playoff team in that 3rd/4th banana role, which would give him the energy to play defense. as for the Bol Bol trade, Trey Lyles has helped a lot as a stretch 5/ whatever you call a small shooting 5. Maybe bol can add a bit more shooting, which they're dying for. Dejan Bimble fucked around with this message at 12:33 on Jan 11, 2022 |

Yeah, everybody else on the roster who isn't LBJ or AD is also replacement level, but at least they don't take 15 shots a game. It’s basically impossible to get rid of him unless they want John Wall as a replacement

Do you guys think the Reddish trade will be good for Reddish himself? Is this more of a gamble shrug than it seems, because Reddish has been so loving bad in Atlanta? I was never big on him at Duke, he seemingly got drafted based on high school hype. But obviously he has the physical tools that let you have this sort of opportunity multiple times

99-00 was an asy mvp for shaq. 01-02 is his second best season but Tim Duncan was better. He didn't have the Nike PR machine pushing him, like Kobe did. Reebok was a dying company. It's worth remembering that Shaq, sort of like Luka, would come into the season fat and slow and take his time getting into form, and MVP voters don't like that. --This is all based on half remembered old blogs Dejan Bimble fucked around with this message at 08:51 on Jan 16, 2022 |

Some random insights may be plagiarized may be original I forget GSW is using Jonny Kuminga like Aaron Gordon or Siakim, which is logical Milwaukee is relying much more on Jrue Holiday's PF esque offense when Giannis sits, as Rick pointed out it's logical as Middleton is good but insanely hot/cold
