    I sense an even bigger Pritch-slap. Rescuing Boston from Jaylen Brown's mega-max might be on the table.

    Would like to see the internal numbers on offensive rebounds and shot attempts exempt of tip ins with a low probability. The team does not count either, just like three point heaves at the end of the half/game.

    Interesting that we are leading the league in steals.

    That would actually be genius of Indy to swing low imo. He’s not going to be overly expensive, and he’ll likely return to being a 26-28ppg guy as #1 scoring option in Indy. Even if his improvements at this point are minor, the Pacers looks like they won’t be near the top to ever find another AS anyways, so they should swing low on an All NBA guy already who still might improve.

    Mathurin, Toppin, Hield, filler, the ‘24 OKC 1st, two future 1sts, the ‘27 UTA and ‘28 DAL 2nds is already a competitive package, which Indy should do 10/10 times.

    Glad this tournament nonsense is over. So we can get back to the regular schedule and away from the stupid courts

    Beginning of October. Before preseason. Brought in Weaver from the The Women's basketball league.
    Edit- Courtney Watson. I had to look up the name.

    On a separate note to that i think Geoff Clark has the most important role for draft prospects. He's like the scouting medical advisor or some title like that. He looks at prospective players and evaluates their health. To avoid GP2 messes.

    I did see the blonde gal that used to ride the bench sitting behind Dame during his first Milwaukee game?

    I would like to know the number of times each player is fouled. A player might create a lot of fouls that aren't shooting fouls (where they shoot free throws) so it won't show up in the stats.

    The league will be fine with Jokic, Doncic, and Wembanyama.

    Have to agree the league will be just fine. I just think the new face will be a Sharpe guy.

    Maybe one of the Blazers future picks might land this guy. If he doesn't turn into the next Javier Lopez.


    Wait, not Javier Lopez...Felipe Lopez.
