Haha love it, maybe add in that while they are in the bottom three, have to discount their ticket prices to the G-League equivalent. That should do it

Does it? You are losing on purpose because that is improving your lottery odds. If losing on purpose buts you at risk of reducing your lottery odds, you are less likely to do so, right?

Isn't the simple solution to this to just remove some ping pong balls?

If you breaking the existing rules, just add that wherever they land in the lottery, they are fined plus lose a portion of their allotted combinations. If a number gets drawn from a forfeited combination, just gets redrawn.

Still fine the team for breaking existing rules, but just add that wherever they land in the lottery, they also lose a portion of their allotted combinations. If a number gets drawn from a forfeited combination, just gets redrawn.

Is the simple solution to this not to just remove some ping pong balls along with the fine?

If they are going to be swapping players, shouldn't they also flip Ingram/Booker between the young USA/old USA team?

Cracking up at James and Jason - based on "Medžic Dzonson", seems like they get the J sound from DZ, but on those two, still tucking a J into the back third just to be sure, haha

Bet the odds of it transferring go way up - don't think the Pacers will be able to keep up the tank-pace when UTA, BRK, WAS really kick it into tank-gear. MIL, MEM, DAL probably going to tank pretty hard from here as well, although all 6-7 games up. And who knows what SAC and NOP are trying to do.

Seems crazy that 3 of the biggest "win now" kinda players that were acquired, Zubac, Anthony Davis and Jaren Jackson Jr., went to teams that are not interested in winning until next year.

simply swap him out for another Canadian point guard, Chris Paul of the Toronto Raptors

So technically they received 2 firsts, 3 seconds, but practically, it's 0 firsts, 5 seconds, unless Golden State is way better than expected four years from now, in a year they are incented to not be better than expected due to the pick protection.
February 4, 2026 at 7:01 PM
Agreed, age difference irrelevant because both on expiring contracts. So just taking one sorta-helpful-regular-season-probably-not-in-final-postseason-rotation-guy for a cheaper sorta-helpful-regular-season-probably-not-in-final-postseason-rotation-guy at a thinner position for you. Win.
February 3, 2026 at 9:06 PM
Huh, surprised not into the return for BOS. Feel like Simons and Vuc are really similar, in the sense both are helpful-ish regular season players that might not be in the final playoff rotation. Both expiring contracts. And BOS ends up with the cheaper one at a position that's a bigger need. Win?

Here goes!

Heat take 4 seconds (two from the Raps and two from the Suns) to take on the extra two years of IQ's contract (compared to Herro).

Raps pay two seconds and give up on Gradey to turn IQ into Herro.

Suns get Gradey for a couple seconds.

no because I am not very good at memorization. If you gave me a COPY of the map that I could refer to during gameplay, I could
January 20, 2026 at 7:52 PM
Alright, rock fight it is then, although was probably going to be a rock fight regardless. Let's lean into it, Point-Mogbo, Vision... 6'7"-or-thereabouts
January 14, 2026 at 5:49 PM
Have either AJ or Alijah played any point for the 905? Going to need another guy to bring the ball up if IQ out and Chucky unavailable. Even RJ or Walter would have been pretty helpful so it's not just all on Scottie when Shead is off the court.

maybe, did the referee just call a jump ball between Adem Bona and Sandro Mamukelashvili?
January 12, 2026 at 12:03 AM
hmmmm not sure about that, I am watching the Philadelphia 76ers play against the Toronto Raptors and haven't seen it a single time
January 11, 2026 at 11:51 PM
If only it didn't come on the same day there was another report linking the Raps to Sabonis, I get Bobby is mad at us for not voting Scottie enough for all-star but there is no way we deserve that level of punishment
January 8, 2026 at 3:47 PM
Haha for the wide swath of people that know their early Canadian indie rock bands and also that it’s pronounced like “beat” not “bit”, I love it
