@pakhattak94 Jak trade on steroids tbh

[Dan Devine @YourManDevine]

I promise, I'll get caught up on how angry to be about the lottery reforms after I'm done paying attention to the playoff game that's supposed to be the point of it all

[Ben Chapman @ChapmanBA]

@JustEsBaraheni Think it’s acknowledging that the worst teams in the league are intentionally artificially bad coming into a season. It will greatly raise the floor of the worst teams in the league and you just won’t have teams as bad as the Wizards and Nets.

@TheBillsGuys He mentioned going back to guard in the article!

[Ben Chapman @ChapmanBA]

@TheBillsGuys The return to trade back from 26 last year was pretty good lol

[Ben Chapman @ChapmanBA]

@travisyost Of all the franchises to turn into your player/decision maker feeder system lmao

[Ben Chapman @ChapmanBA]

@BlakeMurphyODC Scottie for Duval-l NBA, it writes itself.

[Ben Chapman @ChapmanBA]

@JustEsBaraheni @MoeSquare Sorry I mean incentivize winning for the worst teams. Like having to play into the lottery for example so no one comes into the season intentionally awful and makes themselves artificially worse by tanking.

[Ben Chapman @ChapmanBA]

@JustEsBaraheni @MoeSquare I think teams will completely float off into the abyss of nothing if there are literally zero stakes for like 50 games lol. (Also teams might tank out of the playoffs for a chance at a high pick)

[Ben Chapman @ChapmanBA]

@JustEsBaraheni @MoeSquare Makes games entirely meaningless for bad teams though. Incentivizing losing is more intriguing than making games have literally zero stakes honestly. You need to incentivize winning.

[Ben Chapman @ChapmanBA]

@statcenter Bottom X number of teams don’t go in the lottery is the best I can think of.

[Ben Chapman @ChapmanBA]

@hoopgoose The only rationale I can come up with is the Kings value RJ to the point that they would be willing to pay some of the Jak tax lol

[Ben Chapman @ChapmanBA]

@hoopgoose Poeltl trade the gift that keeps on giving 😔😔

[Ben Chapman @ChapmanBA]

@hoopgoose It seems like they legitimately want Sabonis after it came out that a third team would have to facilitate. Just cut out the middle man lmao

[Ben Chapman @ChapmanBA]

@AaronQuinn716 @ErikJTurner They also scored 10 points the first 2 and a half quarters forcing them into an unfavourable game script and didn’t attempt a play beyond first down yardage in a score and win the game scenario.

[Ben Chapman @ChapmanBA]

@MoeSquare @Cam_Oflage 9 per for 9 years. Pretty small amount as the cap continues to rise for a hilariously long time.

[Ben Chapman @ChapmanBA]

@MoeSquare @Cam_Oflage Ngl given the light guarantees in year 5 stretching him after the season if his back is not looking good should be at least somewhat considered before lighting more draft capital on fire.

[Ben Chapman @ChapmanBA]

@travisyost I find it very funny that people are saying McDaniel’s stint as a head coach is disqualifying and Daboll’s is not.

[Ben Chapman @ChapmanBA]

@GregTompsett While this is fair I think it’s asking the wrong question at the end of the day to be honest. At some point (think we are at that point) you can’t let the fear of hiring someone worse get in the way of the distinct possibility you hire someone better.
