Because no one else could run with their guards like Fox. Caruso can only cover one guy.
For Sheppard to turn into a playoff rotation player, he needs to add another 15 lbs of muscle, as Brunson has. Even 8–10 pounds with tons more...
As of right now, if you sub out Castle for Sheppard, OKC is in the finals. Sheppard's shot isn't what it will eventually be when he gains more...
Who would have thought that the NBA Cup (2025) and the NBA Finals 2026 would be the same teams? I don't think Vegas had that on their bingo card.
When the guy is playing that hard and pulling up from 3 in overtime to tie the game, how can he not become the face of the league? The Spurs'...
It's pretty simple how Castle would fit. You build with that guy and trade the others. See Cleveland for an example.
Let's just look at how Cleveland was constructed. They had to decide which young players to keep and how to trade. They moved Lauri Markkanen,...
For an athletic team, the Pistons look mighty slow in this one.
This take--which has taken so many forms in our forum--does NOT age well. It looked risky to me to take Sheppard over Castle. Today it looks like...
Weird naysayers tried to have hot takes that Wemby won't have an impact or that Flagg isn't all that good. But these are laughable conclusions. I...
Emphasizing rebounding is a path to winning 50-games in the regular season. But when the playoffs are underway, and you start playing games that...
I think part of the problem is that today's 37-year-old KD needs to play full-time as a power forward. He's lost a step to chase guards or even...
It seems clear that Alpi hit a wall, and I think that will continue to happen as long as he's logging considerable minutes at the 5-spot. Once...
I wouldn't hold your breath. This is vacation season for our front office and coaching staff. There's nothing for them to think about since the...
Isn't the '27 Draft widely considered to be weak?
Fred wasn't bringing much shooting before his injury. He's steady at bringing the ball up and can make a low-effort offensive system work.
This is not something we need since we already have a PG who is streaky, can barely get people into sets, is turnover-prone, and can't defend at...
On D, we see it all the time, Bari meets guys off one step well above the rim. Despite lacking bulk, he's an elite weakside shotblocker. Turn the...
Does Ime have any strength? This is a good question. The lack of an accountability culture that Stone has created (which we saw in a horror-show...
The bigger meeting is between Tillman and Stone. Ime has faults, but Stone refused to do anything when players like Luke Kennard were free agents....
