Teams really really want those medical reports, huh

I think this is kinda necessary because of how bad AAU ball is for growing tall atholetes.

A lot of guys get drafted and instantly get hurt because they're just nursing a nagging thing. IE Cade Cunningham had the shin fractures probably in college and was just playing through it.

This provides a very nfl draft esque extra value in drafting a hurt guy thing

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Watching this live was hilarious, the announcers didn't acknowledge it but I was like wtf did Draymond run over Curry. Owns

As long as there's logic about injuries or you can still draft a guy in the second round from the woods of Bavaria or whatever this is probably fine.

E: duh actually reading the articles it appears they have unsurprisingly thought of much of this. The big question is can teams still draft players who are not even invited to the combine because that usually 1-2 players every year; I guess we'll see.

Not shocking at all. The Sacramento Kings made it to the playoffs only once before the Adelman years. That stat does not include pre-Sacramento/1985.

He's asking for simply the contract Davis Bertans signed. I think that's reasonable, Pat Bev does way more than Davis :smuggo:

It's pretty much that, it was like 7.8 mil this year. I have seen projections of it hitting 10 next year but it's that or the vet min.

Pat bev would be 100000x better than Perk in the "grumpy hot take vet" role, so that would be cool if he could oust Perk.

The "best" part is Steph splaying out and not even trying to get up, because he assumed it was a foul and definitely not his own teammate.

The future of basketball on TV is Perk, Pat Bev and Draymond. Hopefully the latter two never retire.

A punch would have been an instant suspension, kicks are stronger than punches and yet are punished less harshly. Draymond once again showing a masterful understanding of the game.

Jesus Christ Draymond you loving donkey, it was like a two possession game with half a quarter left when you got suspended.
