Wasn't me. It was one of the other mods.

The NBA has just turned into MLB. The small market teams are basically just farm teams. Those picks are half a decade away. These decisions aren't being made by a GM. You're getting fired before those picks get made.

I have no idea how anyone could watch Cam Ward and say that guy isn't a 1st round pick. He's a 1st rounder in any draft class.

Can't see it. I like the player a lot but TEs just don't go in the top 10 unless they're viewed as generational type prospects. Warren is a really good TE prospect but he seems more like the type of prospect who generally goes in the teens mid to late teens or early twenties.

I'm sure they were probably asking him to take a significant pay cut on an extension and he balked. He's still a good receiver when he's on the field but he's missed a lot of games over the last three seasons.

They should look at drafting Dillon Gabriel in the mid-rounds. Seems very similar to Tua.

No, I'm not. That's just how you're reading it. I'm just saying resources are finite and I'd only want to pay one of Clowney or Mack.

It does in a hard cap league. Every dime you spend on guys in the final years of their careers is a dime you don't have to spend on younger talent. You only have so many draft picks. I just think it should be a Clowney or Mack question, not both. That would just be too much cap tied up in aging vets at one position group. If we got Mack I'd let Clowney go.

Well, you were gonna make sure of it one way or the other so what are you even containing about? It always baffles me when posters seek to initiate the derails that they bitch about.

Yeah, when you draft poorly for multiple years it's hard to build anything. It even caught up to the Pats once Brady was gone and quality vets were no longer willing to sign at a discount to chase a ring. All those years of bad drafting got exposed pretty quickly.

It would have to be a Clowney type situation where the contract is very reasonable. Otherwise it doesn't make much sense for this team to be pursuing guys in the mid-30s. We need legit building blocks not bandaids on their last legs. These types of guys generally sign for contenders because the goals align. The contender wants a boost to get over the hump and the aging vet wants a chance at a ring and a stable organization, he's done with all the BS and drama.

Damn. That's awesome. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/rams-matthew-stafford-sends-signed-lions-jersey-to-fan-who-sold-his-for-playoff-tickets/

Bingo. Even if you want to sell you want to get a good price. They just sold Manhattan real estate at a Charlotte price.

I could see it. I mean, if it's true that the Lakers initiated the conversation let's just play this out. News broke well into Friday evening. This honest to god feels like something where the Lakers' GM is throwing down beers with buddies and they hype him up to make the wildest trade offer he can think up just because fug it, why not? HOLY FUG THEY ACTUALLY SAID YES!!!! LOLOLOLOL

Look what they posted literally hours before trading Luka. Hot damn, what a kick in the nuts for Mavs fans. LOLOLOL https://www.facebook.com/dallasmavs/videos/1654022895200717/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v

If you were entertaining trading him why not put him on the auction block? You would've definitely got way better offers than that. I mean, if you're going to trade with the Lakers at least demand a decent young building block back from them like Dalton Knecht or SOMETHING. This is just baffling unless the league brass knows something about Doncic that drastically reduces his value. Something off the court or some underlying injury issue that is going to cut his prime short or something. Because this just flat out doesn't make sense.

Trading 25 year old five time 1st team NBA PG Luca Doncic for 32 year old Anthony Smith and scraps. What in the world???

When we don't turn it over, yes. We try pretty hard to just turn it over for uncontested breakaway dunks though and we're pretty good at it.

If he ever loved Carolina basketball he has to realize he ain't it. It just keeps getting worse. We look like an unorganized intramural team out there. No semblance of coaching or running an actual system. Just guys out there winging it the best they can.

I gotta give Hubert Davis credit for one thing. He's achieved what I thought was impossible for me. He's made Tar Heel basketball unwatchable. I'm just over watching our opponents run actual offense while our offense is one guy dribbling the leather off the ball while everyone else just stands around and then we just have to jack up a bad shot at the end of the shot clock on the off chance that we don't turn it over in the meantime.

He really liked DJ Moore and Jalen Coker too. Nobody bats 1.000.

I think Jack Sawyer is gonna be a player and I think he fits Dan Morgan's "dawg mentality". I'm not saying he's going to be a star but I'll be surprised if he's not at least a solid starter in the league.

Good.
