    Considering how well known Paris is for its pick pockets, I'd be telling them to back up too.

    Actually I don't have any problem with that at all. That kid was way out of line on that.

    that kid needs to work on his flop skills. Both feet need to be set, and hold your ground when you're stepping in to take a charge.

    2-3 teams will overachieve and will be a player like Grant away from making the playoffs.

    2-3 teams will have injuries or just shit the bed and will need player like Grant to do well in the playoffs.

    You let Grant start the season and make him look good. Then you bench him with a mysterious ingrown toenail injury and wait for a desperate team to give you way too much for him.

    Or? let Grant and/or Simons dominate and make the All Star team, then trade them before deadline.

    what about cooper flagg?

    the issue with ant and grant playing well is

    if shaedon, scoot, deni, deandre and the rest of the roster also played great, like we want to see all them do, we will rack up unwanted wins.

    Just trade our two All Stars for the number one pick. Simple.

    If one of the teams is sold as the "national team", then yes

    ammo for Dan Le Batard minions. Since they're stuck with Herro, they can go on podcasts and gaslight this poker room.

    Props to Charles Barkley for staying at TNT and leaving money on the table, so that many can keep their jobs for at least another year.
