Question: when a player gets traded mid season, does their new team grill them for the strategies/plays of their old team, or is there an unwritten code that you don't ask or tell that stuff?

In the modern era I don't think there are secrets like that, it's all scouted and on tape

Those things aren't secret. Plays are called out on the court where anybody on the other team can hear. Not a secret. Maybe the coach will ask him for gossip about the other coach?

The real secrets are in the front office, team building and financial planning and player negotiations, stuff like that. When a front office person goes to another team, they will almost definitely tell the secrets that they know, sometimes this is why they were hired in the first place.

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.
That Knicks/Raptors lawsuit is interesting for that reason.

Scoot has not looked amazing this year by any metric, but of recent All-Star guards Fox and Garland both had absolutely horrible rookie seasons too and they turned out okay. I don't think you can read much into a teenager playing point guard in the NBA.

I couldn’t think of anything more frustrating for a veteran NBA player than playing with a teenage point guard.

And I couldn’t think of anything more terrifying for a teenage point guard than to play in the NBA.

Toronto has lost 10 in a row. I knew they would take a step back but it looks like they are hardcore tanking trying to keep their pick? Memphis has passed them in the standings.

The Raptors are also a game out back from the Warriors and have been playing without Sengun or Whitmore. They play the Blazers tonight, who have the Warriors pick, so I hope the Blazers trot out the all-rookie lineup again. Let the tank flow.

It's because it's the Kings, but I assume it will make bigger headlines if he breaks the record tonight. It's a home game so there will be added fanfare. There also other stats with his triple-double count that he shares with only Oscar and Wilt. Quietly putting up some fantastic numbers and the biggest all-star snub I can remember.

They're bad now, but also like 6 of their top 8 guys are out with legit injuries and personal stuff. The lineups are really dire but not because of an intentional tank job (though I'm sure they're happy to be losing).

Their best active players at the moment are Gary Trent Jr, Kelly Olynyk, and Gradey Dick lol

Barnes and Poeltl broke their hands in the same game and it's been full tank since then. I like to think Memphis will play hard to keep the pick out of the Spurs' hands as a divisional rival.

I mean Love got it on a less relevant Timberwolves team. I guess he was an American born white guy so that did help. And yeah, Sabonis has been having another great season.

Sabonis doesn’t get a ton of respect nationally and neither does Sacramento after that brief darling run. Love was on a less relevant Minnesota team but had strong boosters in the media, partially because he was a counter to the depravity that was basketball during that era
