General rule that as soon as there's decent talent there, the Kings will refuse to pay their cheap new deal for reasons and sign another center

Kawhi was picked 15th, hell he was traded for with a player that was on his last year.

The NBA has always been that way though so it doesn't matter unless they created a cool system for distributing draft picks. Give the championship winner pick 30, the worst team in the league pick 29, the championship runner up pick 28, second worse 27, and so on.

Some sort of bell curve model where the teams that are right on the cusp of the playoffs get the best picks would be cool and rad. It would also force the worst teams to get better in free agency before they could start getting decent picks.

Stupid GMs will never win championships no matter how many advantages you give them. You can literally give all the draft options to Billy King, he will still barely make the playoffs.

"Hinkie was right" is just saying "It's better to have a high draft pick"

Obviously it's true, but its hosed up and retarded that the league rewards putting trash on the court and actively getting worse for years at a time.

So how is this different from every other sport, what ideas are you trying to say

So apparently the Wade stat is that he's been leading the league in 3 point% if you go back to the start of last season's playoffs.

Butler and Wade were 4/6 on 3's each.

Yeah.

LVP: Jeff Teague. There are actually a bunch of players that could fit the bill for the Pacers, but Teague took his awful night against the Nets and found a way to top it tonight, putting up 0 points on 0-7 shooting. Fun Fact: George Hill didn’t have a 0-point game in either of the past two seasons.

I said the Pacers downgraded from last season, and I was one of the first Jeff Teague supporters

I never understood why people thought the Pacers were going as high as the 2nd seed. They downgraded at almost every position outside of starting Myles at Center, their bench is still horrifically bad, and they put loving Nate McMillian to solve their issue of not scoring fast enough.

This is a little unfair because Turner is pretty much always on the floor when McCollum and Lillard are not. At least it seems that way.

According to consistent line-ups, he's usually at least with CJ and the blazers podcast does mention they should move towards just having both CJ and Lilard sit out and make Turner the "focal" point of the 2nd unit.

Compile it with the people who complained JV's 64 million dollar contract was too much, when Dieng just got the same amount.

Ignoring that those people complaining were stupid in the first place, JV's contract was under the old cap which much higher cap % than Dieng. You really can't compare contracts pre-2016 cap.
