Especially with NIL money being what it is now, a player could enter and be selected and the team could say "hey, we really like you and will sign you but instead of joining our G-League team why don't you stay another year at school?" Certainly being a high NBA prospect in college has to be a...

Punishing Monk for missing the last batch of games and it leading to us falling out of the playoffs, I sort of get it. Rewarding a guy for starting, I don't. Was Naz the #2 pick in February? (I don't know) Did Naz win because he was the best player in the reserve role or because he proved he...

I feel like when I've watched College World Series before they note that a player has been selected by a team, I know that players get drafted out of high school and if they don't sign a minor league deal they can play college and won't be eligible for 3 years after. I think. I do know also if a...

It's too bad with everything else completely broken in the NCAA that teams can't draft a player in college and then have them play another year or two there like happens in the NHL and maybe baseball(?).

The all star, 6th man, and inevitably I am prepared for Domas missing all-NBA. Also when the guy that wins the award is promoted to starter, which padded the stats and bumped him into the award, it's effing dumb.

It was clearly going to Reid in the final weeks. Vivek must be livid with all the funny treatment Kings are getting between officiating and being cheated out of individual recognitions (maybe that saves him some bonus money, though missing the playoffs cost him much more).

I assume if we use the early-Bird there will be trade restrictions in place?

That's why I think we have better odds at developing a replacement than overpaying for one. The other option is a reclamation project like Monk was if one exists. The minute we're paying a guy who will likely still be the 4th best starter on the team 30m+ fans are going to revolt as soon as...

Shame about Quinn was that he was Jack Parker's successor at BU and lead them to a championship game in short order, recruited well (Eichel) then jumped ship to a not even mid NHL coaching career. Grier was a BU great too who has been so-so. thankfully BU is in great hands with Pandolfo.

Grant will be making almost twice as much as Barnes in 2 seasons. Not a defense of Barnes or making the case for him to be here at all. It's just that he appears to be a horrible value and he also isn't a young guy with an improvement trajectory. He's a guy you add on the last year or two of his...

Right but if he was under contract right now he'd also be movable, imho.

But Monk is not under contract and unless he takes a discount we have no way of throwing a market offer at him. His production was absolutely essential to the team's success. But by the same token - there is nothing new about the early-Bird rules or anything surrounding Monk's production, and...

I was curious because I think Tommy Lloyd was recruiting him early. lol

Is a US based college an option for Chomche if he doesn't impress in the combine and other pre-draft activities?

@Capt. Factorial largely matches my assessment moving forward. I am not keen on moving from Ellis unless it took 3-4 guys off the books and brought in 2 starters. Otherwise we're losing one of the few affordable pieces we have. Would like to re-sign Len as insurance piece, and Duarte can go in...

I'm actually not at all opposed to Grant if the team feels he is the answer but @hrdboild has made some valid criticisms, but I think what's more wild is if we're concerned about the age of the core or being constrained by the cap, Jerami Grant is exactly the type of player we'd be trying to...

Not very optimistic but either way I think we'll be fine. Certainly Monk's impending situation had an impact on what we did with Huerter and Mitchell at the deadline. And Mitchell's trade stock seemingly improved if that's the path we must go down.

nuh uh. we're not doing ad hominems.

They should have drafted him when they had the chance then. For Dillon Brooks lol

Every year we as fans think we can squeeze some player we like in at a reasonable contract only for some team with 40m in space to go hog wild. 9 out of 10 times it is a terrible decision and years later we debate if we still like this player or hate the contract and should trade for them. The...
