NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

I think we are at roughly a 50/50 chance on this happening. (Not necessarily the record part)

Even the record isn't out of the question if Baker plays well. There first 5 games are the WFT, Falcons, Ravens, Panthers and Bengals. Considering 4 in a row of those are on the road, 3-2 is probably more likely. But 4-1 isn't out of the question. The Browns have a really good team. Really like how they're built.

I honestly think the Browns are considering that possibility and selling the idea to Baker that it would greatly improve his contract if he played.

We will see if it comes to it.

Man, still talking about poor Cheesecake Baker...

Where will he land...?

Nowhere for now.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I heard a talking head commenting on this yesterday.

He was saying that the problem isn't Baker, it's that the Browns HAVE to move him and other teams know it. So they aren't getting the kinds of offers for him that they normally would.

Can you imagine if they don't get him moved, the NFL suspends Watson for the first 5 games, Baker plays well and the Browns are sitting at like 4-1 when Watson is ready to play?

It would be the most Baker and the Browns thing ever. lol

Then they go ahead and flip him....especially if a team or 2 has lost their starter due to injury.

I deal out shit, but the Browns had a nice draft.

The Raiders also did what I thought, address the OL and DT. Had to get a couple RB's since the new Raiders regime isn't infatuated with Jacobs for some reason.

 

[thunderc]

The way it's looking now I ain't so sure...

Seattle just waiting for a cheaper price I think

 

[Wamu]

He will start game 1 in the NFL

Dammit my bad. Really didn't think anyone would take that comment seriously.

Should have added this-

And of course he'll be in the league. The starting thing though, that's not a given yet. For him to start week one it'll all depend on where he ends up.

They did and I'll give credit where it's due. We'll see if it gets them a title run though, especially after WiggityWack talked all that shit...

Browns just need depth pieces. It's a smart strategy since they will need to parse a couple of the higher salary guys.

Loved the Bell pick though.

 

[Black Adam]

However, boys. Guess which team had an A rated draft...?

Three guesses, and ALL of 'em better be the Chiefs...

 

[fightinfunbags]

Very pleased with the Eagles draft.
2 dominant pieces from that Georgia defense plus adding AJ Brown. Wasn’t sexy but a replacement for Jason Kelce a year ahead of time so he can learn from the best is a great move.

Still boggles my mind that the Ravens gave up Hollywood Brown...

Three guesses? Okay. The Jets, Lions & Jags?

Or how many games Watson plays.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Probably don't want to have to eventually pay him with the way these receiver contracts are going.

Yeah, they had a great draft.

And Hurts, like Tua, has to put up or shut up or the Eagles will be looking for a QB after next season.

I think so too.

That's the most likely destination.

good point...

^^^that part ^^^...

but i think Hurts has a better has a better chance to pull that off than Tua does...

I feel pretty firmly that Baker will not play another down for the Browns, like 99% sure. I think they wait it out and maybe a player gets hurt in training camp but if he doesn’t get traded eventually he will be cut, not that they wouldn’t just keep him to possibly get a compensatory pick next season but the drama wouldn’t be worth it.
I think it is realistic at this point that Watson isn’t suspended until 2023 but we will see, things can definitely change.
