This isn’t really all that accurate, White looked like a potential stud coming out of college even before the Spurs drafted him. He would have been awesome anywhere. The Spurs’ advantage over other teams is that they were able to recognize that White was awesome coming out of college, not that they took a meh player…

Well, the Raptors are actually good. Not as good as the Bucks, but possibly good enough to challenge them. As for the Celtics and Sixers, it ain’t happening.

George is a great shooter, he was just cold today

Jazz-Rockets will be a better series than Thunder-Rockets. Not that that is necessarily saying much.

Love Dirk, but there is no case he had a better career than Hakeem. Dream is legit one of the 8 best players ever.

No, this is making fun of the Kings, not the Rangers

Detlef Schrempf wan an All-Star and All-NBA player! He was really good!

Larry Bird

No, he’s not close to DeRozan. He’s much better.

This is one of Green’s better offensive years, but Danny Green isn’t great because of his offense. He’s great because he’s an all-time wing defender who also happens to be a positive offensive player on good teams, and he was probably best during the 15' and 16' seasons. Although he’s making a strong case this year,…

Danny Green is possibly the most dependent offensive player in the league. He *needs* to be surrounded by good offensive players who can generate the open threes that he can hit, and towards the end of his time in SA he simply wasn’t. Now that he is on a good offense again, he looks good again.

They probably think that it’s not a credible accusation. In which case I can’t fault them. And given the details that are available, I would guess that they are probably right.

in 99', a draft that included 9 All-Stars and a Sixth Man winner, by far the best player was taken with the second to last pick.

Bennett was the worst NBA player of the four, just absolutely awful. But Bennett was never first overall pick material, he was in a draft which was thought to have no high upside prospects worth picking at the top and even then the Cavs made a terrible choice. In any normal draft he goes late lotto at best. He is the…

Dean’s entire 2014 board is incredible. Embiid at 1, Smart at 3, Wiggins and Jabari at 7 and 8 behind Nurk and Capela, and then an awesome call with Jokic at 16. He has a lot of wild takes compared to consensus, but he is probably smarter than 95% of draft take havers on the internet.

What a terrible article. This contains far too many obviously false (and often self-contradictory) claims to be taken seriously in any way.

It’s their defense that’s better

Tobias is younger and probably a better fit, but really, Butler is the *much* better player. Losing him for nothing really hurts considering they gave up an awesome player to get him.

I really did not like the process, but its core tenet was always to acquire assets in the most efficient ways possible. Generally, in the NBA, the most efficient ways to acquire assets are through very high draft picks (hence the tanking), signing stars in free agency (most teams can’t do this and don’t even consider…

No way ownership pays 4 max or near max contracts unless something drastic happens in the playoffs. The Sixers would be $10M over the cap in 21' with just Embiid, Simmons, Butler, and Harris signed.
