@Connor54194816 @YeahYeahOkBro If someone wants to pushback on those who say the Clips won the trade, surely one can do better than clowning a rookie’s first SL game.

@DustinDopirak I won’t speak for Sister Act 2, but Ty’s right on about Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Such a well-done sequel/movie. That’s the best Planet of the Apes movie period.

@SamQuinnCBS Maybe it’s a system that allows designation but it’s capped at just a few. There are people mad that their team can’t financially keep their top-7 guys and that’s silly. But getting to a point where teams don’t feel like they can even retain their top 2? That’s tough.

@C2_Cooper @iPacersblog Who cares if you’ve ever had a No. 1 pick on your team when you’ve had every qualifying National-team player ever, you know?

[MrMedicrity @DetlefBest]

@C2_Cooper He’s going to be very expensive to keep one day!

@SiriusXMNBA @ScottAgness @gordonhayward @TermineRadio @Jumpshot8 Not sure Hayward is an objective source of info here. He and Brad have been tied at the hip for nearly half of Gordon’s life at this point.

@John0bhbb @wheatonbrando They won a fucking championship with him playing a far more involved role than “defensive stopper and non-primary ball handler.” He won ECF MVP and Finals MVP.

@SamQuinnCBS Pretty obvious to me that we used to too easily dismiss analytics, and now we’ve overcorrected and rely on them too much to make judgments.

[MrMedicrity @DetlefBest]

@iPacersblog Interesting that Shep isn’t in any of them, considering most Pacers I talk to seem to think it’s final bench-rotation spot is his for the taking over Jarace.

[MrMedicrity @DetlefBest]

@AlexGoldenNBA Yeah, can’t count Zubac. He’s why a contingency plan was needed in the first place. And to be honest, rhe contingency plan sucked. Luckily, they should still be pretty good.

[MrMedicrity @DetlefBest]

@AlexGoldenNBA Not only would Rick not do it because Aaron’s better, Aaron isn’t the sixth-man type. That’s not his game. He’s not coming in to put up buckets like Oubre would.

[MrMedicrity @DetlefBest]

@AlexGoldenNBA I appreciate your efforts, but there just isn’t a way to know what the best course of action was regarding Zu until the results play out.

[MrMedicrity @DetlefBest]

@C2_Cooper Boston doesn’t appear to be functioning like a serious team at the moment.

[MrMedicrity @DetlefBest]

@iPacersblog Don’t know if he’s better rhan Mathurin at anything. Both streaky scorers and defenders, both have some bball IQ problems. But at the price point they got him, I’m good with it.

[MrMedicrity @DetlefBest]

@KeithSmithNBA Kawhi doesn’t seem like the type to give away money but we’ll see.

[MrMedicrity @DetlefBest]

@C2_Cooper Time will certainly tell whether it was the right move or not.

[MrMedicrity @DetlefBest]

@the2kmessiah Obviously not every team is going to look the exact same or play the exact same, but they do all have the same information and know what the best shots are, and will prioritize those shots as much as their talent allows.

[MrMedicrity @DetlefBest]

@AlexGoldenNBA IMO, it would help if they cared about developing the skill set their draftees actually possess rather than hyperfocusing on whether or not they possess the intangibles they want to see.
