NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

How does Young impact pace? What has drawn me to the under is the fact that OSU and Nova play at a slower pace in their metrics. I think Nova is in the 300s and OSU is in the 280s.

Not sure what Young's impact is on pace or overall scoring...just a tremendous glue guy, I think. also seems like he's been here forever. Maybe longer than Jamie skelton or alex davis (appeared to be here).

No way it’s historic. While 3 1st’s is a lot it is nearly what they should have received bc CLE knew it was Watson’s decision and they weren’t going to offer too much.

We’ve also never witnessed this before. A star QB in his prime being traded, whether he forced his way out or not, I don’t recall a situation. Seattle got 2 1st’s, mid rounds picks and 3 players for a 34 year old QB. I don’t consider Watson’s return historic considering what kind of player they traded away. Historic would have been the rumored offers like: 3 1st’s, 2nd, Ward and Hunt.

right....I mean we received 2 firsts for Watson when we dealt the pick. as has been mentioned, SF gave up three firsts for Lance.

No reverse jinx at all. Can't say it enough times. I'm terrible at picking games.

whether you mean to do it or not does not matter. I just hope we win.

Where are you getting 2 firsts for what became Watson? One of those firsts was the 25th that year which was swapped for the 12 pick. Isn’t this actually getting one extra first?

I hope the Buckeyes take care of business obviously. But when I try to pick Tourney games I never go with why heart. Picking games by which team you like better backfires often.

Illinois gave me that under with some bad offense.

Yeah instead of a 100% asshole he's only a 95% asshole.

And on the other end of that Zion's the size of a Prius now.

I had a feeling Illinois was screwed when I said they would win today.

we got the 25th pick and a future first (which was the #4 pick in the next draft). 2 firsts. sure, it's one extra first but it's 2 firsts. Just like SF swapped a first and gave up 2 more....3 firsts.

NBA trivia.

Who are the players that have recorded a quadruple-down?

To me you net the in draft net swap and then tack on with what you get in future assets. So I would see it as Cleveland got an extra 1 for trading back. San Fran gave up 2 firsts for trading up. Cleveland just gave up 3 firsts for Watson cause there’s no net of a swap of 1sts.

And as you recall I was less than pleased they passed on Watson the first time.

Peppers and Ward or Watson

We Def lost that one.

Hakeem Olajuwon is one if I remember correctly.

And SF did it for an unknown at that point. CLE did it for a guy that has proved he can be a top 5 QB

Not sure who it applies to but I bet there’s at least one unfortunate soul on that list who got the 4th metric on 10 turnovers haha.
