a thing to watch with jj is hes pretty fascinated with mazzulla he talks about him all the time on the pod has interviewed him, now why would jj be so interested in joey mazz, i think its because he did nerd basketball more fully than anyone else has and obvs had great success with it, is jj gonna go full analytics and if so how will bron and ad feel about that

Owning 27% of the team and still being in the seat for team decisions seems like a good deal for how much money Cuban made. The partners are all tied up in gambling money, I’m sure keeping Cuban was partially to keep it seeming a bit more legit and from player and team management angles- Dallas seems to be pretty well run for all pro sports in general.

wonder why he sold maybe just profit taking would make sense but sounds like hes out on day to day dallas mavericks stuff big question is did he retain jumbotron replay privileges
― lag∞n, Thursday, 20 June 2024 19:49 (three months ago) link
fwiw dallas under his watch was definitively not a well run team, major scandal, weird personnel decisions, all sorts of behind the scenes dysfunction
― lag∞n, Thursday, 20 June 2024 19:52 (three months ago) link
is jj gonna go full analytics and if so how will bron and ad feel about that probably the most entertaining this team will be is in the drama department so bring it on. Not like they are anything more than a second round playoff exit at best.

xpost - I read Cuban has some new pharmacy company maybe he wanted some dough for that

when was the last time a player went straight into head coaching (like no assistant exp, no college coaching, etc) and it worked?

nash was a special assistant with the warriors before he coached

every team wanted that guy cant beleive the bulls settled for giddie strait up
its pretty funny bulls continuing unwillingness to come to grips with the fact that their team is not good is something
― lag∞n, Thursday, 20 June 2024 22:06 (three months ago) link
i mean if you thought giddy was good then hes better than the two picks people were offering but idk whyd you think giddys good he just got played off the court in the playoffs
― lag∞n, Thursday, 20 June 2024 22:09 (three months ago) link
giddey will be a restricted free agent next year but basically both guys are on expiring deals for roughly the same number.

bright side for the bulls they traded old for young maybe this is the start of them blowing the team up
― lag∞n, Thursday, 20 June 2024 23:31 (three months ago) link
the reason they got no picks is the same reason they turned down two picks at the deadline, which is that the owner values present players over future picks
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 20 June 2024 23:39 (three months ago) link
they made the butler trade on draft day that year, getting two players and one future pick they used that night. the vuc trade was young talent and future picks for present. even derozan was a sign and trade w/ a future first involved. one connecting thread is ownership
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 20 June 2024 23:44 (three months ago) link
granted all that to not get one of okc’s bad firsts as a throw-in still feels like malpractice

been scouting the draft (watching youtubes) and i think this is gonna be one of those years where the best player goes in the middle of the draft, teams at the top talking themselves into guys even they admit dont have star potential sarr clingan castle then there are bunch of flawed ballers who will go later topic ware holland one of who will end up not actually being flawed
― lag∞n, Saturday, 22 June 2024 22:50 (three months ago) link
reed sheppard is pretty fascinating hes small with short arms but on the other hand hes one of the best shooters ever coming into the draft has elite feel for the game and is super athletic, one weird thing is youd expect him to have a better handle maybe he can still get there idk
― lag∞n, Saturday, 22 June 2024 22:57 (three months ago) link
if he had a better handle ability to break his man down you could see the vision but if hes not a great creator idk maybe he can do steph stuff where his three is so dangerous that it opens things up for him but thats asking a lot

i havent factored in the kentucky guard tax tho maybe hell win mvp
― lag∞n, Saturday, 22 June 2024 23:17 (three months ago) link
some people saying hes not that athletic but he measured a 42" vert at the combine and averaged 3.2 stocks idk what people want guess maybe his lateral movement on d isnt that great
― lag∞n, Saturday, 22 June 2024 23:27 (three months ago) link
possible that his shooting a lil overrated since he took a bunch of open catch and shoots where youd like to see more movement and off the dribble shots but on the other hand he shot 52% from three and his shot is very quick and looks perfect
― lag∞n, Saturday, 22 June 2024 23:30 (three months ago) link
I have no mental energy to figure out anything with this draft.
