Entirely dependent on contract If you can get him on a deal that’s only guaranteed for 1-2 years like the FVV one, then absolutely If he wants 3-4 years of guaranteed money, then it depends on if he’s willing to take around 20m aav Anything north of that will be harmful in 3y

People have compared this draft to 2013, but I think it’s much more comparable to 2020 (without the clear star potentials in Lamelo and Ant) Similar flattening from 3-12, top picks won’t feel great, late teens/early 20s could see strong fallers, late lottery reach for floor

I despise when teams end of game set is just a clear out iso with the full clock
Anyways, Lebron and especially AD played very well that series 5 game series doesn’t at all speak to how much they pushed the Nuggets (after last years “closest sweep ever”)
Rui looked very out of place on D all series Couldn’t check Jokic, lost MPJ offball, lacked the help instincts to be on AG. Was consistently a few steps behind on rotations
Very weird to see a game end like that without a true final play for the Lakers

Shooting projection is barely ever about 3-point percentage at face value Sarr's touch indicators, the volume on those shots, and 3-point frequency compared to other stretch 5's pre-NBA samples suggest that he'll eventually create gravity from the perimeter effectively
Alex Sarr is not your typical NBA center, nor your typical first overall pick, but that doesn't mean that he can't be the best player in the draft. A deep dive on the french big and his NBA projection for @NoCeilingsNBA. noceilingsnba.com/p/alex-sarr-th…
Tonight marks the first time in NBA postseason history that a team hit a shot to go up by 6+ points with under 30 seconds left… And went on to lose the game 😬
Mobley's elite skill is passing (84th percentile assist rate). It's a miss to not utilize him as a hub like Sabonis/Bam. JA & Mobley being roll bigs causes the fit/shooting issues to arise. Cavs haven't committed to fully exploring Mobley's offense yet (Caris averaged more FGA)
If Evan Mobley is a good to great offensive player, what does it look like? He's probably shooting like Naz Reid and Myles Turner. Is he dribbling by people? Does he play like Kevin Love did in Minnesota? The blueprint is what I'm not clear on.
probably just that the lakers didn't have a realistic shot at forcing OT (+ the fact that these crunch times hardly offer you time to process the previous bucket) but that didn't feel nearly as exciting/painful as a game winner should've lol
Michael Porter Jr.'s decision-making against closeouts in this series has been so, so good. Great job selling this three-point look and then extending his dribble to get all the way to the rim.
Check it out here! saurabhr.com/nba-playoff-ma…
If Royce O'Neale wasn't an F tier athlete he'd be an elite 16 game role player athleticism matters
Anthony Edwards The biggest area of improvement is showing extra dribbling and ball-keeping abilities after entering the paint zone. No rush(pickup ball early,reckless mid J) but calm pass-outs and additional decision capability are shown there.
Knicks had a 73% OREB rate in the 32 offensive possessions with Hartenstein off the floor.
Most embarrassing part of the rebounding differential is that the Knicks did it without a true center on the floor. They closed with what is basically a small-ball lineup — a 6’1”, 6’1”, 6’4”, 6’8”, and 6’8” lineup. Just an appalling gap in effort and focus levels.
murray's playoff rep is really akin to cavs kyrie's he's got a high enough ceiling that playing next to a jokic or bron is enough to discourage people from glancing at the floor.
Im really surprised that AD comment turned into a story cuz its flat out obvious what he said was true and it wasn’t aimed at anyone in particular
A lot of people perceive anime like it’s the NBA rather than art and it just seems so miserable to always do so
Notice how one needs special eyes that can react to fast movements and the other is just watching where they’re going
“ Point Book “ was the most insufferable campaign any fanbase had this off season
Evaluating a prospect's shooting potential is more complex than meets the eye. In his deep dive into what separates the great shooters, @slipthescreen uses three examples from the 2024 NBA draft class: Ja'Kobe Walter, Melvin Ajinca and Rob Dillingham. ⬇️READ: The Shooting…
tldr: the ripple effects of bad shooting are more than "bad spacing" 1. negate mismatch by scram switching 2. negate spot-up 3s by hard closeout/blowby ➡️ force drives into peel switches 3. extreme nail stunts/nexting 4. go over screens, force curl to help defender etc etc etc
EXCLUSIVE: I've spent the last few weeks investigating the fight for ownership of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Sources provided specific examples of Glen Taylor sabotaging the deal, upsetting limited partners, and positioning himself for a fight. READ: shorturl.at/iFKW4
Cleveland is giving Orlando a more extreme version of what New York gave Cleveland a year ago Unless Orlando gets really creative on offense (or starts making shots), playing 3-4 bad shooters together is gonna be rough Cleveland is ignoring Isaac/Franz/Fultz/etc on 3pt line
Combo guards do matter but their scoring has to bend defenses. If it's just contested shots or feasting benches that's when the PPG gimmick becomes a toxic archetype
You know I would’ve lived in the 1830s if there were no racists.
