In addition, it seemed like every transfer rumor I read was “Big Player X wants to stay at/go to Man Utd, but only if Van Gaal leaves”

I think this case going to the Supreme Court and then Justices recusing themselves because of their NFL fandom would be the logical ending of everything our country is currently trending towards

Well if high schools get $60 million for football stadiums, then what’s a couple hundred million for a baseball stadium? It’s only fair

Right so you need to either draft them, trade for them or sign them. The best way to sign them is to be a destination city. The best way to draft them is to have high draft picks. And the best way to trade for them is to have assets everybody wants (i.e. high draft picks/players recently drafted with high draft picks).

14 of the 20 starters in the conference finals are lottery picks

every team to have won a Championship since 1990 has featured a top 5 pick. You need talented players to win games, and getting a high pick in the draft is a way more reliable strategy to find them than “ehhh I think I can consistently find players everyone else missed, so it’s fine.”

The hell of it is, after all this public piling on about The Process, with a number 1 overall pick, a bunch of other first rounders to play with, and whatever Saric and Embiid finally give them this year, the Sixers will actually start to get good again maybe!

Looks like the type of dude that would kick a dying kid’s ass in Street Hoops

Come on, let’s stick to real Cardinals losses, please. Everyone knows Ryan Howard doesn’t play baseball anymore, and you definitely just made up all those Phillies pitchers’ names. They lose enough in real life anyway, you don’t have to go making stuff up.

sports are good

I don’t know which posts I like more, the “The Cardinals Lost Today” posts or the “Christian Pulicic Scored Today” posts... probably the Cardinals ones, but it’s close!

Irrational confidence in a mediocre NBA player is a beautiful thing. I submit to you the first 30 seconds of Stanley Johnson’s senior year mixtape (2 years ago), when he shuts down some hatin’ ass fool fans that think he’s overrated.

I guess it comes down to whether you’d rather watch people be very good or care very much

15th best defensive center in the league, per RPM. BPM says hes better at D than offense and he has good defensive win shares too. Granted, I didn’t watch the Wizards much, but defensive stats, such as they are, say he was good at D
