20 years ago, a 17.4 ppg pure scorer on 52.9% TS would be considered an OK-ish 3rd wheel on a team. Today, such a player is considered a net...
Here is the thing: People don't appreciate how small these lottery odds are -- 14% chance of a Wemby means if a Wemby is available every year...
Long gone are the days that a crop of drafted players can set the foundation for 10+ years. Modern NBA contracts are shorter than before, and...
Well, I don't disagree there are resemblances. TBH, I did think the bucks made a bad/reckless gamble at the time, but I wouldn't dare to call it...
That Holiday trade was also considered an overpay that can backfire by many, but it was also a reasonable bet. No matter what the perception of...
From time to time, we see teams gamble and eventually lose in all-in trades, but there are usually reasonable logic behind them at the time, and...
Seriously, we could have offered Wall + all their picks and swaps back. That would be a quite competitive offer since no other team can offer...
Let's keep in mind that the value of a 1st found draft pick = 4 years of cost-controlled production + a priority to retain the player at the...
You guys are overthinking it. Stone, or any other GM in this situation, is extremely unlikely to do that, and the reason is simple. Just think...

No way! That 08-09 team, with a healthy TMac, could have been an even better team than 17-18. Yao/Mutombo/Hayes Scola/Landry Artest/Battier...
I think we are just tanking. Trading him has always been nearly impossible without multiple picks attached. If we are actually trying our best...
It's of course still too early to draw any conclusions yet, but I have to point out that the difference in stats between Green and Tatum on this...
Gordon is an underrated plus defender, always a 3-point threat, and has some ability to create for himself and finish in paint to complement your...
I know 3-4 first-round picks are a lot, but it is a foregone conclusion that we will lose 1-2 first-round picks as soon as we are committed to...
If KPJ averages 20&10, that almost certainly makes him an All-NBA first teamer and a strong contender for the MVP. Let's hope that happens.
I don't get why people keep discussing John Wall trades. A team like the rockets should be looking to take on another John Wall from another...
Exactly, the Rockets traded James for almost nothing. I was very surprised to hear that many believed we had "a good haul given the...
