@iamrahstradamus Their competitive advantage sort of disappeared over night. Less margin of error for meh offense (don’t look at full season offensive metrics, but last ~15 games)

[BG @BryanDGoldberg]

@conorsen Good for the economics of the league, bad for the fans.

[BG @BryanDGoldberg]

@gswcba This is pretty bleak

[BG @BryanDGoldberg]

@Wittnessed It’s that, but this roster a year from now is still sort of bleak. Porzingis, if you resign him, who by the way won’t have any S&T value this summer, and on average plays less than 60 games a year, Jimmy in his late 30’s coming off an ACL making $57m, a year older Draymond, yikes

[BG @BryanDGoldberg]

@BrettSiegelNBA Exactly, they’re 3 years too late on this Lol

[BG @BryanDGoldberg]

@JakeLFischer Wow, groundbreaking

[BG @BryanDGoldberg]

@WorldWideWob Another argument for there’s simply too many games

[BG @BryanDGoldberg]

@tomhaberstroh So much of the NBA's lack of star play would be solved by simply eliminating back to backs and having ~60 game season. It's a no brainer

[BG @BryanDGoldberg]

@AndyKHLiu Offensive playcalling has been extremely bad

[BG @BryanDGoldberg]

@BillSimmons Wasn't the media rights deal supposed to help the idea of expansion?

[BG @BryanDGoldberg]

@danpfeiffer This is their fourth center on the roster

[BG @BryanDGoldberg]

@ChrisVernonShow 🤣🤣🤣

[BG @BryanDGoldberg]

@JoeVirayNBA And Hawkins, and Murray, what are they doing lol

[BG @BryanDGoldberg]

@KevinOConnorNBA How many guards do the Pelicans need

[BG @BryanDGoldberg]

@iamrahstradamus Every team’s window is now maybe 3 years max.

[BG @BryanDGoldberg]

@Carsobi I think it's mostly a $ decision - they didn't want to commit another 2 years to Poole over $30M each year, free up a lot of space after next season, smart move.

[BG @BryanDGoldberg]

@Carsobi Worse comes to worst there’s a team that’ll take an expiring in the final year. Or you move him as a salary filler in another deal for a bigger fish hypothetically. There’s ways out. I like it for next season, and it’s been clear they weren’t willing to commit to Simons long term

[BG @BryanDGoldberg]

@Carsobi I simply wasn’t expecting this level of performance from OKC

[BG @BryanDGoldberg]

@Carsobi J Dub has left planet earth tonight with this performance

[BG @BryanDGoldberg]

@Carsobi and in theory if you really believe in Paolo and Franz they wouldn’t help you down the line much either. You can now easily see yourself as a top 3 seed in the east next year and as this playoffs has shown, who knows!

[BG @BryanDGoldberg]

@Carsobi I disagree. You’re swapping KCP, 32 years old who was a no show all year, and Cole Anthony (whatever) for a 26 year old all star level guard who fits your exact need in shot making and providing space. Your window is now if you’re Orlando. Those picks aren’t helping you now
