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,...
Counting stats aren't that important - and I wouldn't be surprised if Sengun's counting stats don't take much of a jump this year even if he...
This is wrong. BKN is the only team that will almost certainly have 25% max cap space next offseason. SAS and WAS could have it, but it's...
If he extends before the season: Zero chance it is the 25% max. If the team had interest in that it would have been done in July. Doesn’t happen...
Creating shots for himself against two on the ball PnR defense or in non-switch iso situations will never be a responsibility for Reed in the NBA,...
We won’t see it again. In an NBA game with the real team, if the other team was blitzing PnR all game, then Reed would just be dumping the ball...
From what I’ve seen at all levels, Reed is very comfortable against <6’3 guards on both ends. He’ll get beat off the dribble frequently by Rob I’m...
Reed has had 2, maybe 3 assisted shot attempts in the three SL games so far? It’s been a good opportunity to see him challenged as a pure on ball...
Draftkings initially posted a 41.5 win total O/U yesterday, which seemed obviously too low to me. Looks like the sharps agreed, it’s moved to...
I was as clear, evidence-based, provided the logic for the threshold, and offered to use any other shooting indicator metric you'd like... so not...
Yes Simons, Sexton, and to a lesser extent Bogdanovic were better offensive players as of 23-24 than Jalen Green, just based on totality of...
He shot 35% and 35% on C&S both years, i.e. he did not break 35%. Less than 35% on all other shot types and years. Jaylen Brown is a wing who...
Optimistic in the sense that I think Jalen will 100% have a long NBA career. With the mold of player he is at present, Jalen's only viable roles...
