I also don’t get how the Euro League has become this all powerful league that automatically produces sure thing NBA stars. I mean it is good, but it’s still far far closer to the NCAA than the NBA. Plus it’s lack of athleticism often hides weaknesses in players that even the NCAA doesn’t.

Careful. Evaluating players in the comment section is a zero sum game. It’s not enough to say Doncic looks great and is a perfect fit in Dallas. All other rookies must have to therefore suck.

I’ve learned two things from this article. Bored Golden State is fun, and never ever drive in Russia.

Can we take a moment and realize Pete Carroll has basically rebuilt Seattle on the fly? He’s purged all the expensive aging defenders who had seemed more interested in fighting amongst themselves than being good, and he’s got a good and just as importantly cheap young defense in it’s place. Just as importantly, for

Found a picture of him.

I’ll bet you wonder why nobody wants to eat breakfast with you.

Herman had a chance to mull it over and came to realize it’s cool.

Without question! Even a few number 1 overall picks. The draft is a crap shoot. I’m not the one who said otherwise. If you think about it, makes the extra lottery pick the Hawks received even more valuable.

Let’s also talk about Young’s “entire career” that is comprised of 1 year in college as a 19 year old and 4 NBA games. His game obviously will never change after we assess this vast body of work.

Foreign players who didn’t play NCAA ball taken in top 10 2010-16 (We’ll withhold judgement on recent picks:

Doncic is good, real good! I’d love to draft him if I were a GM. But if you think drafting Euros and seeing how they translate their games to the NBA is without risk then you don’t follow the sport too closely. If you think the entirety of Trae Young’s game is just shooting 30 footers then you haven’t followed Trae

I don’t get the collective shit everyone was taking on Young heading into the draft until now. Sure he wore down last season and his defense is a mess, but my god did he show an incredible range and an ability to get his shot whenever he wanted. That’s still the rarest skill in the NBA.

He sounds angry, petty, and is lashing out. Sounds ready to me.

Quite unusual but certainly not out of the question. That said, who the fuck knows what he actually took. While my tripping days are long gone, I’ve heard LSD, when it can even be found, is so weak it’s usually bolstered with who knows what anymore.

It’s funny how he conveniently left out the best player involved, Dragic, when he is assessing the trade. At the time the haul was definitely better on the veto’ed trade. Stern rode on the coattails of Bird/Magic and then MJ. He got drunk on the slobbering media attention and for the last decade as commish he was

A lot of players that I like flop, which I fucking hate. I’ve got no problem both hitting Embiid with a well earned warning to knock that shit off and not holding it against him personally.

A better option even than taking corrective action a day later would be taking the time to get these calls right in the first place

Anyone who states “Any books written _____ are bad.” is a person not worth listening to about books.  

Dafuq? Kaep was nowhere near as good as Vick was. Just stop. Not even fucking close.

We’ve all had that friend who becomes a violent angry asshole when he drinks. You know the one, the guy who can barely hide his violent, angry, asshole tendencies while sober.
