NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[fightinfunbags]

Yanks offered 6/150 and he just settled for 2/62

Snell is a head case. People on his own team don’t like the dude.

Ready for some March Madness....

Love March Madness. I have Thursday and Friday off because the 1st 2 rounds are my favorite part.

No doubt, those first 2 rounds are still a uniquely awesome fan experience. Got no hate for March Madness I just literally don't watch until then

Yea it’s a horrible product. March madness is the only time I lock in but otherwise I just mainly pay attention to stores so I know who the good teams are. It is a rough watch

And people try to come on here and say college is a better watch than NBA.

The only thing better is the drama of the single elimination tournament.

And that is not a good way to decide an NBA champ.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Still would be if I was in Vegas, but the game just isn’t watchable anymore.

the tournament is fun. But week to week I agree.

The officiating for one makes the NBA look absolutely amazing.

I don't find the contrast between pro and college football to be anywhere near as jarring as college hoops to pro.

anyone who says that doesn't watch NBA at all

Tell me you love Kentucky or whatever and don't have passion for a singular NBA team but don't tell me the game itself is better. It's a substantially worse product.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

fuck him and his clients

Depends. From what's been said, the Steelers have told Fields the Wilson is the starter and they want to develop him. If they just get numbers in the neighborhood of what he did in Denver last season, he'll be their stater all season.

Unless Wilson gets hurt or just sucks...they will decide in the off-season what to do with each of them imo.

If they're waiting until the offseason to decide to keep Fields, it will likely cost them more than his 5th year option of $25M. The assumption being that they are keeping him because he had a solid season of course...

He lost his fastball, lol.

I love/hate watching Syracuse (some games are just painful to watch). Otherwise, I don't watch much NCAA unless I'm visiting my parents (my Dad watches college hoops all the time for whatever reason). Them again, he also watches more B/C/D level movies than is healthy lol.

 

[bksballer89]

Not sure who watched the Netflix QB series but I see they’re doing one for receivers

It'll get interesting if Wilson plays well because they could end up with nothing but his pre-season play and practice reps to evaluate him. Even if he plays well, Wilson is 35, so he's not a long term solution for them.

If Fields doesn't get on the field, it's going to be hard for him to get more than his 5th year option.

I watch pretty much all of USC's games and a few other games here and there. Not near as much as I used to. Not sure why the NBA stopped letting guys come in straight from high school as the 1 and done is negatively affecting both college ball and the NBA, imo.

TE Harrison Bryant....just another guy?

Yes. Good blocker. I thought he would be better weapon wise. He's ok, he just seemed to mess up in crucial moments.

Ok. That is why we got him then. He gonna backup Mayer.

 

[DJ]

Probably better backup than Austin Hooper who showed he doesn't have a lot left. Think he signed with the Pats.

 

[WiggyRuss]

We'll see if he learned a lesson. Wish he'd played hard for a multi year deal for the Niners.

I really like the Giants offseason.

I think the Korean CF is an interesting signing in todays MLB- he seems to be a very similar bat to Kwan on the Guardians- a good stable setter that wont strike out

I know Ray wont be ready for a while- but if he gets healthy--- him, Snell, and possibly Harrison, can really add to a rotation headlined by Webb. Chapman is an upgrade.

That is a tough division with ARizona and of course the insane Dodgers- but the Giants made themselves into a team that has to be taken seriously.

 

[WiggyRuss]

At this late date they will have to settle for less too. Fuck Boras.

I hate these opt outs....I think SF did a great job to limit the opt outs on Snell too--- signing him to like a 5 year deal with opt outs after every year is just deranged. Only having to do 2 years was smart with the opt out after year 1.....with pitchers those deals will almost always get you in big trouble but limiting to 2 years makes sense.

if he is good- he opts out- if he isn't great or gets injured- you just have 1 year of risk--- taking on 3-4 (or more) years of risk without the upside of him having to stay is just dumb.

i hate how these players have all these opt outs now.
