We get Anthony Davis. We give the Mavs: Kuminga (future all-star) Podziemski (starting Guard on GSW) Moody (promising 3 and D player, 6th man) 2026 1st round draft pick 2028 1st round draft pick

Regular Season Lebron: 604 games, 29.3 PER, 59.8 TS%, .273 WS/48, 10.4 BPM, 73.1 VORP, 4 MVPs, 2 rings, 2 FMVPs. Jokic: 592 games, 29.3 PER, 64.1 TS%, .270 WS/48, 11.1 BPM, 65.9 VORP, 3 MVPs, 1 ring, 1 FMVPs. Playoffs Lebron: 145 games, 28.1 PER, 58 TS%, .252 WS/48, 10.3 BPM

And other guys have RPG, SPG, BPG and efficiency - Lebron is nowhere near the best at anything!! Who cares about playing at a lower level for longer (longevity) - the lower level/lower averages = inferior MJ and Jokic lead the all-time PER, BPM, WS/48, and VORP, while Lebron also trails in FT%, SPG, BPG, OREB & TO's (per game), and ORTG (pts...

No, not because he may have been part black or Dominican. It’s because in his day once you won an MVP you were ineligible in the future. You get one and you’re done. So the obvious question I ask is what would nba history look like if such a rule existed the entire time? I have a few minutes to kill so I’m gonna do this off the top just from...

Rep. Eric Swalwell says people should be able to vote by phone in elections after launching his gubernatorial bid in California. “If we can do our taxes, make our healthcare appointments, you know, essentially do your banking online, you should be able to vote by phone." :roll: GEE, WONDER WHY ???? Of course board Dems will say it has...

Who here remembers SergioRodriguez? The guy who always wrote mfer in every sentence? The battles between Euroleague and, actually, everyone? That guy who simped Wilt so hard? Manate photoshops?

It must be, because DOGE is gone.

I was discussing this recently, and the answer we came up with is "no." He can probably be signed and traded for, i.e. as an unrestricted free agent, but I cannot fathom the package it would take to just trade for him, absence the leverage of "I'm leaving anyway." If he's healthy and playing at the level he is playing at, what do you think...

Orlando's Franz on/Paolo off sample size continues to grow. At what point do we admit that the pairing doesn't work, and that Franz is the more impactful and therefore valuable player on the Magic? Perhaps it would make sense to trade Banchero for Markannen. Orlando gets an offensive off-ball superstar forward who fits much better and would...

What do you guys think of it? Specifically, the rules and how they're enforced or not enforced. At a glance, this game is as different from prior decades as it has ever been. Step counts have been vaguely 3-5 allowed with a ridiculously late 'gather', off arms are now the norm if you are dribbling as far as stiff arming, grabbing or hooking a...

Surprise... It is... You would never guess... But... two more years of Obamacare.

New Twitter tool reveals many MAGA heroes are based in other countries. Russia, Nigeria and India apparently want America to be great again.

I know he plays for the Hawks and I keep seeing people bring him up lately but not with enough detail so I can tell if I should care. I’m well on the downside of my NBA fandom and I’m not above asking for information instead of finding it myself by watching games. So…. Is there any reason I should go out of my way to turn on a Hawks game to...

Surprised that there's no thread about this. Over the weekend Paul announced that this will be his last season. He's had a good run.

I know it sounds odd but Give your brain a little work out With the unusual combination… I’ll help you out. every mention I’ve seen of Muggsy Bogues in the last 10 years convinces me he is incredibly underrated. People have no idea how he actually played or what he was out there to do. There are people who think he was just getting scored on...

It's obviously of some kind of Germanic derivation, I assume it was originally something like "Knüppel" with the umlaut before his great granddady got processed at Ellis Island. I believe that'd be pronounced something like "Noo-pell" back in the Rhineland, Arby or Overdrive can correct me on that. It's just so awkward to keep hearing him...

Highwhey woke up this morning in a seemingly good mood during his movie commentary….Then something happened and it made a sharp turn for the worse. A few hours later you see him start getting more and more visibly upset, culminating in a full on meltdown. Interesting stuff. Thoughts and prayers for our fat beaner friend highwhey. Feel better...

I didn't even realize they were beefing.

This is one of the wildest/creepiest stories I've seen in a while. It's like Mrs. Doubtfire, the Talented Mr. Ripley & Psycho all rolled into one story.

No disrespect to the Timberwolves organization but it's just not a franchise that has a lot of buzz around it. It feels like Edwards is kinda off the grid up there. I wanna see him play with Wembanyama, or in Madison Square Garden, or on an exciting young team like Chicago. While the TWolves are maybe a bit closer to 'contender' than 'pure...

:facepalm

:biggums: The late starts were usually at 7:30 Pacific time, now it's 8. I'm guessing it's an NBC thing? I think I saw a few other games earlier this season start at that time with NBC.

I wish LA hadn't backed out of that trade. Mark has been really good for PHX. He's actually leading the team in win shares (1.8) despite only playing 381 minutes - 6th on the team & 259 minutes behind Devin Booker's 640. He's been the anchor to a strong defense despite the critics last season: 111.1 on-court DRtg (-4.8 rDRtg) in 381 minutes...

and is a pdf file.

I've been an Edey believer since he first did the NBA Draft Combine in 2023 and realized he was a lot bigger, longer, and mobile than he was perceived to be. Many arguments were made & had on this forum. Despite being misused for almost his entire rookie season under Taylor Jenkins (+250% on-ball screens immediately under new coach Tomas Iisalo),...

Rick Barry went after Kelenna Azubuike because he can’t shoot underhand free throws "You’re not a player…a real player would have learned how to do it properly" https://x.com/awfulannouncing/status/1992285345216446555?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5 Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1992285345216446555%7Ctwgr% ...

Oh wait that was Lebron in 2010, but no one talks about it because it's a fraud to inflate his legacy - his inability to win the East as the favorite caused him to form super-teams His skillset imposes spot-up roles upon teammates, so he can't develop sufficient chemistry to win with "normal" rosters of 1 franchise player (can't win organically)

Obviously, winning is hereditary. And next year theyre addin Bryce. DEAL WITH IT.
