Rockets are big game hunting and have identified PHX as a team that's likely to trade one or more superstars in the near future. I think I agree with that assessment. If/when PHX tears things down, a return package that includes their own 1sts will be far more attractive than most - putting HOU...

Pretty much. Maybe the bottom falls out in Phoenix and those 28-29 picks are great, but the Rockets trade allows them to take a direction NOW instead of treading water as an 11 seed while hoping the Suns are bad in 4 years. The Nets are going to be absolutely terrible these next two seasons and...

Love what the Nets did last night. Sean Marks hasn't been perfect, but looking at the big picture I think he's done some great work. He built that 18-19 playoff team out of scraps and leveraged that success to construct a 3-headed monster that was dominant in the whole ~18 games they played...

Jaylen Brown winning Finals MVP, Scottie Barnes getting paid a quarter of a billion dollars, then Ron Holland falling in the draft because of bad 3P shooting at age 18 will be a very funny sequence of events.

The (lack of) physicality is definitely a concern, but I think he's undersold as a route runner/separator. SumerSports used tracking data to profile 16 of this year's WR prospects (MHJ through Brenden Rice), and of that group, Worthy generated the most separation per route and the second most...

This has crossed my mind - at the very least, I think he will be on thin ice. I believe the issue with Hunt was not just the incident itself, but the fact that he lied to the team about it. Rice owning up to this would probably go a long way with the team. If he continues to stonewall everyone...

My state (KS) is on the verge of passing a similar bill that is specific to porn sites only. I think the bill would produce some modest benefits by marginally reducing kids’ porn consumption, but any sufficiently motivated teen is quickly going to discover how easy it is to circumvent the age...

My gf’s mother had a bad case of this — ended up doing the full cleanup + achilles reattachment surgery. It was a certainly a long recovery (6-8 months sounds about right), but it made a huge difference for her and was very worthwhile. She’s able to go about her daily life with no limitations...

It's crazy. Girlfriend and I are currently renting in Lawrence, and our initial target was to get our first house by ~2026. That will not be happening if the market stays this hot.

I really appreciate this info. Haven't been on the board much for the last few months, but my Adderall has been working great - those two things might be related. :D I'm still on the 15 mg XR and recently added a 5 mg IR booster for the afternoon. I finally feel like an actual, functioning adult...

I'm very interested to see how new ownership handles this. Those old KAT/Gobert trade rumors were primarily motivated by team finances, and the Wolves' disappointing performance made cost-cutting moves seem like a no brainer. Things are a lot more complicated now that the team is good. Edwards...

Puka is just taking a beating. Holy smokes.

Other than the week 3 blowout against Chicago, last night's game was probably KC's best of the season. The defense was stifling and the offense moved the ball easily for once. The weaknesses that have slowed them down all year were still present, though - failure to turn RZ trips into TDs...

Rice's current statistical profile (essentially league-worst aDOT but league-best YAC) is almost identical to Deebo Samuel's. There should be more to unlock in Rice's game, though - his rookie year production of 938 receiving yards is already better than four of Deebo's five seasons. His size...

MHJ and Nabers are my only tier 1 WRs. Would pick MHJ first but it's fairly close - and that's not a knock on MHJ, Nabers is just that good. Then I have Odunze in tier 2 all by himself and a handful of guys in tier 3.
