If Jalen has an open 3, he needs to take it, every minute he’s on the floor for his whole career. The same is true of every player in the league...
I didn't say were were a mediocre team. I said we have a mediocre offense, which we do. Last year we were 20th in offense at 115.0 ORtg. 24th in...
Unfortunately the game has changed. The players don't just need to cut more, or do more offball movement, or set more screens. All successful...
Zero midrange, floater, or push-shots from Sengun last night, out of 22 attempts. No 2P FGA outside of 8 feet. That’s not going to work. Nobody...
The starting lineup was a +10 last night in a game we lost by 5.
Ime has a lot to improve on offensively, but “system” was not the problem tonight. Run back through all our shots in this game up to the last few...
Jalen (and Fred) were not settling taking all those 3’s against Charlotte PnR coverage. Those are the shots we want. Dribble up, open 3’s against...
Even at the 7 year mark, Jalen’s extension would be capped at 140% of his previous salary, like all extensions. That takes him to $51M starting...
Tari Eason is not getting "similar or more money to $25M/yr" next summer, unless something wildly unexpected happens this year. We've seen it...
I've come around on this deal a little bit, after working through the extension / free agency scenarios Jalen will have in the future. I had been...
The max doesn't change if an extension is signed now vs next year. Extensions are based on the year the contract starts, which will be 2025 in...
Obviously it's good for us in all contract scenarios if Jalen is good, and bad for us if Jalen is bad. But if he's good and outplays his contract...
Good: Keeps the total guaranteed money down, and limits downside risk of having a bad contract on the books out until 2031. There's probably...
VERY interesting. My interpretation is Jalen is taking a lower number over ~3 years, and his agents want to frame it as "potentially maximizing...
Tbf: [IMG] Let's stay grounded. The highs are high and coming more often, but the lows have been low and frequent too.
Sengun is better in a vacuum, but has the least negotiating leverage and C is a currently a lower market value position. Giddey is significantly...
Here’s what’s happening right now. The agents of Suggs, Kuminga, Giddey, Jalen Johnson, Trey Murphy, and yes Sengun are all waiting for one of...
There's some thought here that I respect but your thesis statement at the end I disagree with, IMO. "Deciding who the franchise player is going to...
I don’t think the talent gap among young players is that big, if it exists at all (excluding Shai). However OKC has superior offensive coaching...
It’s preseason, FVV was out, all the necessary caveats. Ime’s philosophy seems to have been basically: equal opportunity, everybody eats,...
