Refs have completely lost control of the game

6'10" & making live ball passes like this

I miss the old EPM

We'll be fine - this is a deep team for a reason I'm excited to really see who we got

“The first thing I say in any of these situations is you gotta show guys that you can hoop. I don't go in there trying to be nobody's coach, nobody's daddy, nothing. First and foremost, I hoop... You can't tell someone, they want to see it. Vic even said, he don't remember me

Those tears today were tears of JOY Tears for that 10 year old that said he was going to be the #1 pick in the NBA draft! Tears for the 18 year old kid that was handed the keys to a franchise and a city. Tears for the ups & downs on this long journey I had in the NBA. Everything

The player who made the biggest jump for me while doing a big deep dive and draft guide profile so far might be Danny Wolf. One stat: Michigan is 20 points per 100 better with Wolf on-court versus off. That's 10 points per 100 better than Michigan's next best rotation player.

I haven't really followed the draft super closely this year, but I really like Koby Brea

We can't keep Moe AND use the NTMLE - in the new CBA, using it hard caps us at the first apron "it would leave the Magic with just $15.7 million before the first apron to sign second-round pick Noah Penda, Moe Wagner and Caleb Houstan along with Nickeil Alexander-Walker." - OMD

This is true… Anyone paying attention to the business of basketball sees major issues: 1. Ratings down 2. Many franchises up for sell 3. Salary cap only going up 7% instead of the expected 10 4. Players losing almost 10% if their salary that was held in escrow Lots of red flags

Kind of a contrarian take but I'm feeling that in the new CBA, rookie scale deals aren't so cheap You weigh against the prospect of hitting on an All-Star, but the salaries of the middle class established players have been compressed so much, and you know what you are getting

Not the most inspiring list of teams Prunty coached after Pop Avery Johnson Mavericks Nate McMillan Blazers Byron Scott Cavs (with Mose) Jason Kidd Nets/Bucks Igor Kokoskov Suns Nate McMillan Hawks Adrian Griffin Bucks Doc Rivers Bucks Was hoping he'd coached under Budenholzer

Wendell Carter Jr has been anchoring a top 3 defense two years in a row and gets put in trade ideas for Gabe Vincent
