Nets stuff mostly. But also…other stuff
I posited a dumb thought experiment earlier, let’s look at the other side: what team would benefit more from an MPJ trade? Assuming, like, Harrison Barnes or Jabari Smith Jr is shipped?
The degree to which the Spurs are giving Amen Thompson the Tony Allen treatment tonight is pretty wild.

@lucaskaplan.bsky.social team building thought experiment: if you only had Clax and MPJ, what would you want, within reason, to play around them? Constraint: MPJ needs to be the best player on the team.

Hi, lefty take here. The demand should be firing Miller and Vought. And then, not voting to fund DHS without major rewrites and reallocations. Not one or the other. Demand everything. Obstruct otherwise.

The Wiz are still top of the table, despite being one game behind. The Tank is a gateway to abilities many consider…unnatural.

This sucks. RIP Dan.
I think the key that unlocks Dan was his desire to share the things he loved with other people. Wouldn’t be the worst way to honor him if we make the effort to do that for the things we love, too. defector.com/dan-mcquade-...

Who knows about this, but for me, it’s about the upside, and time horizon. We already have a ton of picks. I’d want Warriors picks from far enough out that we can trade them again in the future for value. Not their middling 1st in 2026. Something like the Denver pick in ‘31.

Something I’ve been kinda seeing in the background: Terence Mann appears to be Egor’s vet. Mann’s had his back several times. And they appear to have rapport. Dunno if it means anything, but it begs the question who are the vets for the other rookies? MPJ-Wolf, maybe?

“Shakespeare was really x” guys are the literary equivalent of guys arguing about MJ vs Bron. People: the plays are right there. The basketball games are on TV. Why are we bothering with this?

Uh oh. Let’s sell high on MPJ shall we?!?
ICYMI, I built a contracts tool that projects what every player in the NBA is worth vs what they are paid. Here's what it says about AD (bad value) and Coby White (good value).

Fantastic Nets tank loss. @sunsphx.bsky.social can suck an egg. Fought like hell. All I ever ask. We fell apart but made many most correctable errors. Rooks got reps. The tank contains etc etc.

Nets fans: we have a top ten rookie we picked inside the top 10. But, uh, is Ace Bailey ok?

So…is there a sidewalk plow? Some kind of effective EV? I saw the bike lane plows working yesterday, why not for pedestrians? I can’t believe it’s even that expensive?

Very developing situation here. FPS agents ran into the hotel. Tear gas deployed. Hotel patrons forced to put their hands up. One agent’s nose bloodied.

Man, that’s a GREAT loss by Brooklyn right there. What a fight. Stupid errors cost us the game, but that’s effective tanking. The team FOUGHT. Traore’s best game in his career. Execution sucked but the kids showing flashes is what you love to see.
