@SBN_Ricky There are other ways teams can improve - better coaching, better drafting, player development, coaching, free agency, trades, better roster construction, etc. just giving the best rookie to the shitttiest team never made sense. It was just what we were used to.

[Doug Seidman @DougSeidman]

@SBN_Ricky I disagree. No one should be rewarded by being terrible. Thats not how real life works. Theres no reason why teams trying to be good (ie Miami, Chicago in recent years) shouldn’t be equally rewarded to go from the middle the top.

[Shashi (シャシ) @shashpicious_]

we’re not really “designing” right now,
we’re just constantly switching contexts trying to not get left behind

every week there’s a new tool claiming to be the future → paper, pencil, magicpatterns, magicpath… now noon shows up with $44M and changes the narrative again

so instead of going deep, everyone’s just sampling everything

trying prompts here, generating screens there, tweaking in figma, jumping to code, back to AI again

half the industry is already inside code editors
the other half is still figuring out which tool is even worth committing to

fomo is doing more damage than we realise

because depth needs stability
and right now the stack itself is unstable

so no one is mastering anything
everyone is just trying to be early

eventually this will settle and a default will emerge

till then, we’re all just beta testers pretending to have a workflow 👀

[Doug Seidman @DougSeidman]

@DrewHanlen Yes but we will likely end up with a pre-season tournament, a longer play-in, plus an additional 4 regular season games (2 more games per team).

@DeathbyCeltics @MaxCoh3n @Gareth_giggs Basically fouling shouldn’t be a strategy. While I’m here, just no more instant replays unless they are reviewed in real time (score changes if something is reversed). Teams go back to wearing white at home. Ban garments under jerseys. Don’t allow traveling.

[Doug Seidman @DougSeidman]

@DeathbyCeltics @MaxCoh3n @Gareth_giggs For the entire game, an offensive play, especially fast break, should not stop bc of a def foul. The play continues / offense gets a “free play”. All FTs shot between quarters. End of each half, if an off team is fouled, they receive one FT and the ball back / reset shot clock.

@BleacherReport Will be the first watchable Cup game since it started.

[Doug Seidman @DougSeidman]

@NoDunksInc Because Adam silver lets players do whatever they want. Next, they’ll start wearing their eight version of their jerseys backwards with a hoodie underneath.

[Doug Seidman @DougSeidman]

@J_Talks_Hoops Doing it all in way less MPG. Way higher FG% and 3PT%. I’ll take, but still a major disappointment and not worth what he’s getting paid.

@Crypto_LoftPig @historyinmemes She’s alive. It’s my cousin. (For real)

[Doug Seidman @DougSeidman]

@CHGO_Bulls @BawlSports No. Was a good pick at the time. What was way worse - resigning him for 5 yrs/$90M guaranteed, trading 2 pks and WCJ for Vuc, signing Zach to that crazy deal, trading a pick in return for Derozan, not being able to replace Lonzo, trading Gafford, drafting Terry.

[Doug Seidman @DougSeidman]

@JustEsBaraheni I think it is temporary (another 2 years). Teams (smart teams) will build around the new CBA / aprons. Teams weren’t building for this 3-4 years ago. Also lots of new ownership.

[Doug Seidman @DougSeidman]

@therealjfrantz And throws in a few packs of zyn every day.
