2024: Probably no transcendent stars at the top, I kinda think there's some really solid guys though that teams trying to build around something already might appreciate.

Most of the draft is a giant question mark.

My hot take is that teams are just making too many loving trades trying to make a big swing. Just draft some good young players and develop them, teams are trying to “one weird trick” their way to a title.

I mean this is easier to say when your team has the best and arguably most consistent player in the league and mostly did it this way. But Denver wouldn't be where they are without the Gordon trade, for example.

Or like Cleveland, they were a decent team with a lot of upcoming young talent, but they took a huge jump by trading for Mitchell.

I’m not saying “never make a trade,” that’s silly. But yeah I think Denver’s way of building a team just works better. But it’s also how OKC is building among others

Edit: basically look at the Melo trade, don’t be the team trading for Melo. I guess it recently worked for the Lakers with AD??

The Bucks traded for Jrue Holiday and Raptors traded for Kawhi.

Is league pass not as aggressive at cancelling you if they detect VPNs? I know the MLB.TV app was super aggro about that.

Haven't had a problem so far, though it may be worth looking into this from someone other than a rando at Something Awful Dot Com before taking any kind of risk.

There's a 7-day free trial that you can test the VPN out on. I did it on my phone today with VPN on and it worked normally.

I already have the full pass + no ads so I'm not trying to gently caress that up. Watching wolves games on a lovely pirate stream is a small price to pay I suppose.

Kings look lost due to a key injury, a player who is an important spark in their offense and a stalwart defender of the paint. Yes, they desperately need Trey Lyles to heal up and get back on rhe court.

Harrison Barnes used up every ounce of basketball ability he has for this season and unleashed it in the first game. Now he's a spent husk, wandering the court looking

I mean, you never know with the draft. They said the 2020 draft was gonna be bad, too. Meanwhile they said the top of the 2014 draft was gonna be transcendent, and the best guy from that class got drafted during a Taco Bell commercial.

Are you from the U.P.? I don't follow college hockey. Is NMU any good this year?

I'm not, but my dad's side of the family all live up there. The only college sport I follow is football, except for basketball during the tournament.

Herro probably going to be out for a bit with an ankle injury which is a shame since he’s had a decent start to the year. He might be a confirmed talent vampire though because Lowry and Jaquez Jr had their best games of the season in his absence.

72% TS% (5th in the nba)
55.6% 3pt% (3rd in the nba)
2.5 blocks per a game (2nd in the nba)

Couldn't ask for a better start can't wait to see how he handles his first big road trip

Does not bode well for the Suns that they need a 26 point performance from Grayson Allen to beat the Bulls by 1 in overtime.
