    I dont think Berry has ever drafted a white defensive player.

    If I was a cynic I would say now that teams can LEGALLY pay players the SEC has lost its advantage. lol ;)

    NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

    ESPN's "Too Early" 2025 Rankings have 4 Big Ten Teams in the top 6. Its funny how people though NIL would make CFB more lopsided but it has actually improved parity since none of these guys want to sit and they jump in the portal. 2nd year in a row for a Big Ten Champion. ND and PSU are...

    I would love for the Browns to get Henderson and/or Sawyer in the early/middle rounds. I doubt Andrew Berry would take Sawyer though unfortunately.

    NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

    bringing back Downs on defense and Smith on offense is a nice way to start for next season. Gotta find some better corners though if you ask me. QB should be interesting too. Losing Sawyer and Tuimoloau at DE is gonna hurt as well. Should be poised for another run though if they can get it...

    if you were to re-rank- honestly- ND, Texas and Oregon would prob be 2, 3 and 4 or close- maybe PSU in there- no worse than beat 3 of other top 4 teams in the nation to win the title.

    gotta give ND credit- they never stopped fighting and made it a game when I thought it was pretty much over after the Buckeyes scored 10 to open the 3rd. ND deserved to be in title game and showed it. at the end of the day OSU's talent won out. all of blitz and Howard makes the throw to...

    OSU beat #1 Oregon, #3 Penn State, what was Indiana when they beat them? like #9? Tennesee, Texas..... obviously the playoff lends to this, but the # of really good teams OSU beat this year was ridiculous. Going through Tennesee, Oregon, Texas and ND to win the title is wild- they didnt have...

    I saw that. Kinda wild. Should be interesting to see if they can get something out of him.

    Which Team Won The Big 4-Team Trade?

    absolutely. but i can see why a Wizards fan (@tlance) would value a volume scorer that has lost a ton of his effectiveness better than one of the best defensive players and most efficient shooters in the game. Right now Harden is shooting UNDEr 40% from the field and is a poor 3 pt. shooter-...

    to clarify- i cant remember if they had a really bad game before this or not.....i feel one of the hawks games was pretty bad-

    how much longer do you think Steph plays? Does the team just try its best while Steph is active, and then rebuild once he is gone? Do they try a rebuild while Steph is still there? I think and hope that Steph stays there his entire career- but it will be tough to get back to contender status...

    Anthony Davis and LeBron combine for about 50 pts, 20 rebounds, 12 assists a night, have both been healthy the majority of the time- and the Lakers are 3 games over .500 Not sure how the GM has held on to that job for as long as he has.

    hmmmm....maybe.....I think its very hard to look at anything more than 2-3 years out- with the age of the Thunders players maybe you can look a little further for a team adverse to spending into the tax, they will have major challenges on a 6 year span with SGA on a 3rd deal, and , if Williams...

    The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

    what has been crucial for the CBA is the rules that have gotten young stars to extend with their home franchise. NEarly everyone takes that first big deal- and teams almost always have their home drafted star for the first 7-8 years of their deals. No one is able to steal a Garland or Mobley...

    OKC....well see.....that will be interesting- though since the young guys will just be eligible for beginner "maxes" they will get through pretty well. Its the 2nd and 3rd contracts (really the 3rd for the most part) that really fuck teams---- ya know- the teams that dont develop guys and just...

    Cavs have their top 6 guys signed up for at LEAST this year plus 3 more. (Mitchell, Allen, Mobley, Garland, Strus, Okoro). Only guy they might not be able to pay is LeVert- and the team is still young. Cavs arent gonna have to break up anything for years to come. Got at least 4 stabs at it...

    Magic are gonna be a problem for years to come. I think me and you have been on their bandwagon when it still had a lot of room on it. They should only improve. It is a team no one is gonna have an easy time with in the playoffs- that is for sure.

    Cavs have Jarret Allen under contract for this year, and 3 more for an average of about 27M a year. He is 26- signed up through a big part of his prime- and has absolutely blossomed in Cleveland. In retrospect- what a freaking trade- though at the time I was one of the few that said how good...

    The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

    Cavs did not really play great tonight at times--- shot 34% from 3 while the Pacers shot 43% from 3....and won by 10 at Indiana to break their winning streak. Good win- I was a little worried about this one thinking it was kinda like the back to back losses against the Hawks- kind of...
