    General NBA season thread: 24-25 edition

    While its a big number, if they got the full five and no player option, it should be a good deal in the out years barring catastrophic injury, given the rising cap. Using the AAV, he would be making the equivalent of 27.9M and 25.6M under the current cap, in the last two years.

    General NBA season thread: 24-25 edition

    Suggs got done as well. 5 for 150.5M. That was in line with what most folks were projecting. Jalen Green 3 for 106M, with third year player option. Did not see that getting done and especially with that type of structure. No deal for Kuminga or Giddey.

    2025 NBA Draft: The Maine Event

    Vecenie had his mock draft up yesterday. He had Ruzic going at 28. His write up caught my eye as a Celtics target/Al replacement (long term). "Ruzic is one of the more experienced rising draft prospects, having already seen close to 700 minutes in the ACB and Eurocup competitions for...

    LALakers 2024-25 PlayIn Again, Stans!

    I don't feel like this is breaking news. Haven't we all been operating under the assumption that Bronny will be on the Lakers until the G-League season starts and that he would share the court with his Dad at least once - so they can make history. That was the whole point in drafting him...

    KAT to Knicks for Randle, DiVincenzo, 1st

    Volume matters as well. Per 36, DD shot 10.8 three's last season to KAT's 5.8.

    Are the Pats the worst team in the NFL?

    It is important to take into consideration the position of the FA's the team is pursuing. Money always matters, but the question is how much. It's not hard to fathom a guy like Tyron Smith who 1) is approaching the end of his career 2) has already made north of120M and 3) is without a...

    Are the Pats the worst team in the NFL?

    While it has sparked a lot of great discussion, ultimately I think the question is not particularly relevant. To me the questions that matter are: 1. Is the team a Superbowl contender? 2. If no, then is the trajectory of the team trending toward or away from getting to contender status?

    Offensive depth chart -- down in the trenches

    Bakhtiari, Humphries and Leno are all coming off surgery. Likewise, Brown ended the season on the IR after missing a ton of time. Peters is 42 and has been a part time player the last two years. If those guys could get and stay on the field they would indeed be upgrades . We're not in a...

    Patriots Training Camp 2024

    Pats pulpit had a somewhat different take on the same series: Maye’s final period in a one-minute situation was not nearly as clean. After a first-play interception that hit off Javon Baker’s chest and into the air, Maye went four-and-out with a new set of downs. However, his supporting cast...

    2024 NBA Summer League - The Baylor and Bronny version

    The "before the heart attack" is doing a lot of work here. You could also phrase it, as "before he played college ball." Bronny is hardly the first kid who was seen as a potential first round pick coming out of high school, who then had a disappointing freshman year. Guys with Bronny's...

    2024 NBA General Offseason Thread

    Good for Dunn. Once you end up a 10-day/minimum guy in the NBA, it can be difficult to get out of that box.

    2024 NBA Summer League - The Baylor and Bronny version

    While Thanasis' continued presence on a NBA roster is soley due to nepotism, the idea that he was never an NBA prospect is ahistorical. He was drafted in 2014 in the late second by the Knicks, not the Bucks. Giannis was not Giannis in 2014. He had just finished averaging under seven...

    2024 NBA Summer League - The Baylor and Bronny version

    You mean the Cetlics didn't give the 54th pick in the draft 8M guaranteed. I thought that's what guys picked in the mid-50's "earned"

    NBA formalizing deals with Disney, Amazon, NBC that would begin with the 2025-26 season

    Long term media deals are the norm. The current NBA media deal was for 9 years. The NFL did a 10 year deal running from 2023-2033.

    2025 NBA Draft: The Maine Event

    Vecenie's Mock Draft is up at the Athletic. He would have any of his top 5 in 2025 (Flagg, Dylan Harper, Nolan Traore, VJ and Ace Bailey) going number 1 this year.

    Players are taxed based on where the game is played. So while that is true for the 41 home games, not the case for the other half.

    No argument on the awful person front, but we should not pretend that there were no financial consequences for his actions. He was expected to get a max deal worth around 173M. Instead of that deal he earned (will earn) 2022: 0 2003: 7.9 2024-2025: 75 Losing out on 90ish Million dollars is...

    NBA Finals: Celtics vs Mavs

    Two things can both be true. Luka is a bad defender, made worse by his constant griping at officials AND his injuries. Dunc'd last epsidoe did a good job of talking through the ways in which the injuries are impacting his offense. Luka has missed a lot more for floater range and in, then...
