    The nets picks (and prob Warriors) are essentially worthless, teams buy at that level for 200k a pop every offseason. The Wiz pic is slightly interesting, but you’re still talking grab-n-stash as a likely outcome.

    I mean it’s not abjectly terrible from Detroit’s perspective, maybe they hit 1 out of the 4 on a rotation player, but it’s not like the Nets mortgaged their future either. Save 40+ mil in tax on a player who didn’t play for picks that likely would never play either = a great big shrug. :idk:

    Not sure how you can be so out of touch with reality not to understand their skill and size. Also, it’s their actual job. They prob couldn’t file TPS reports as well as you!

    The Average College basketball player would work a very very high percentage of people in this country and wouldn't be close either. I honestly don't think anyone understands just how large the skill gaps are between amateur, college (big boy program) and pro. It's honestly hard to comprehend unless you actually see it or play against it up close and in person

    Hell a good D3 player would work a very very high percentage of people in this country. Like 98-99% of HS players don’t actually play college basketball. I don’t mean make a team, there’s a team for everyone if you really want to be on a team, I mean actually play on a college basketball team.

    Not just the skill gaps but the actual size of the players as well. For a lot of people, a 6'3 point guard would be your tallest friend

    give the players a million a piece and give the team either an extra 1 in between the lottery teams and the playoff teams, or give them 5mm extra cap room.

    LeBron is interesting. He's not Cole Beasley, or a Wentz or a Nicki Minaj or whatever.. but he knows if he takes a certain stance, it's ignited to crazier degrees than any other athlete or star. Also he likes that too.
    So many people on the right hate him anyways, so if he were vaccinated then he should announce it but I'm not going to try and guess why he wouldn't.

    maybe I missed but I never saw confirmation that LeBron got vaxxed and he gave the same answer most that won’t take it did

    He hasn’t been an idiot like Beasley trying to argue about it

    Hard to say someone should come out with their opinion on something. However, it is pretty surprising since he’s been proactive in weighing in on social issues. Certainly would be nice to see him support getting vaccinated.

    “It’s a personal decision” sounds like “I’m not vaccinated”, to me.

    No clearer path to a championship than assembling a supporting cast of former Knicks around your star player, I always say
