I don’t disagree about Phoenix. It’s early in the season and I don’t know if they’ll be able to maintain their place in the standings, but I certainly didn’t think they would be where they are (especially with Green missing so much time). I disagree with you about Chicago. The Bulls finished...

I personally would not view that as being a good formula then. A formula that accounts for games played this early into the season, but that doesn’t take into account the potential for missed games moving forward? To put things in perspective—on the betting sites—Luka is considered the third...

Sure—but what are the odds that Jokic and Shai could miss some time? You think that’s better than 50-1?

1.9% and the field contains Luka and Cade? Luka is basically averaging 34-9-9 on a contending team. I think that alone should merit a better than an implied 50-1 MVP shot.

Good stuff. Agree with very much of this. Just a heads up—Utah traded Sexton in the offseason for Nurkic. Sexton is now on the Hornets.

I’m not hating on the Wolves as they still have a nice team and they will be in the mix—but I really feel like they made a mistake by letting Nickeil go. At the time, I felt like they needed to find a way to let Donte go in order to keep NAW. They are both capable from long range, I think...

That’s certainly a strong answer. I also think that lowkey, the Clippers are in a tough spot. They don’t have any sort of abundance of young talent—and are deep in high dollar veteran players that are past their prime. The Kawhi salary cap circumvention allegations might possibly end with...

That doesn’t make it better. They effectively gave the keys and control of the franchise to a player that had a history of showing no loyalty that wasn’t even there yet. The Kawhi element of the trade is not evidence that is supportive of justifying potentially the worst trade in history—it’s...

Its up there—but I still think that SGA+5 first round picks for Paul George is perhaps the worst.

Yes. He was the GOAT of Japan baseball before he came to the league. The first time he made the playoffs here, he won a ring. The very next season, he makes it to the World Series again and has arguably the best game MLB history along the way. The year that he was hurt where he couldn’t...

Apparently Breece hall hurt. Saw the replay—walked off the field, threw his, threw his helmet down on the way to the locker room with about a minute left in the half. I couldn’t really tell what the injury was. Looked like maybe his ankle got rolled on

Oh wow. Did fields get hurt or benched?

I get that point, but being a “type” of player doesn’t mean that there aren’t different levels to be that prototypical type. I don’t think Keegan Murray can sniff Jaden McDaniels or Mikal Bridges. I don’t know if Keegan Murray has played any impactful basketball like Jaden or Mikal have. When...

I lean towards this take. I don’t see much of a difference between a guy like Nickeil Alexander walker and Keegan Murray. Nickeil got 4 years 60 million dollars from the Hawks. If Keegan Murray is worth 5 year 140 million—the league better raise the salary cap exponentially. Don’t get me...
