IU Scott Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Sounds like Chet Holmgren might have a severe foot injury. He got hurt in a Pro Am game trying to dunk on Labron. Not good for a young big guy to get foot injuries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 And so OKC annual tanking begins again….and I’m sure they will once again end up with a top 3 pick knocking the pacers down to 5 or something again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just fed up with teams tanking for the better part of a decade. You have teams like the Pacers spend a decade fighting for an 8 seed because even if they do bottom out they won’t tank and if they do there are teams that have it down to a science….shouldn’t reward teams doing it for multiple years…bad years are fine but should be inventivized to get good as fast as possible. Very much in support of a penalty for being in the bottom 5 multiple years. You get a top 5 pick then you can’t pick in top 5 for two more years. So best you could do is 6…following year would be 11. It would incentivize teams to sign free agents and try to build winning teams and not to just try to keep losing year after year until you have 5-6 top 5 picks on your roster like OKC does…or Philly did for several years.

Interesting. But it seems like it wasn't all that long ago that OKC was a championship caliber team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too long…and honestly maybe it’s just me being bitter because Chris Paul had them a playoff team a few years back..but when you have that many young players and you have all that cap space and you don’t even attempt to sign a veteran it just tells me they are committed to continuing the suck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thunder had a long run of winning. And many of future HoFers on those teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Gary Harris tore up his knee. Didn’t even know he was still in the league. Somehow he just got a 2 year 26 million extension….geez! No wonder these kids be bolting for the nba…turn a mediocre career into a 100 million easily lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Langford signed a four-year $16.5 million contract, all guaranteed. He's averaged 3.6 points per game in his NBA career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about getting on a roster...and making it to that second contract. Doesn't matter about stats or playing time...just stay on a roster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted August 28, 2022 Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 Regarding tanking, baseball is drifting in the right direction. “For the next five years, the first six picks in the draft will be decided by a lottery system that will give the three teams with the worst record the same odds of drafting No. 1. Additionally, revenue sharing recipients (small-market teams) will not be able to receive a lottery pick more than two years in a row, and teams that pay revenue sharing (big-market teams) will not receive a lottery pick in consecutive years.” https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/33718964/the-new-cba-was-supposed-end-tanking-mlb-here-why I would like to see the NBA follow this too. I’d honestly be harsher. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d honestly be harsher. Agreed!! What I have been saying all along. I’m just saying a top 5 pick should mean you can’t pick in the top 5 next year…and if you are in 6-10 then you can’t pick in top 10 the 3rd year. Back of the line as the first pick in the next bracket. Obviously baseball has a lot of rounds but too many of these small markets are just becoming farm leagues for the Yankees, Dodgers, etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t forget Allen. That said that is a tiny backcourt and honestly a poor defensive backcourt. Garland and Mitchell….neither play defense…and both like to have the ball in their hands (very ball dominant). They certainly are an all star wing away from really being a contender but at least they are taking a swing at it. Saved the Knicks from being awful for another decade. Imagine a backcourt of Mitchell and Brunson….seen single ply toilet paper hold up better than those two on defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
