That is really surprising, especially since SA isn't exaxctly deep at PF, assuming Young and Aminu will be gone relatively soon. Their only young PF

Dude, I'm not sure if even DAJ would have given up in a 5 point game that was becoming a 3 point game. Wow, that was pretty terrible there.
That was K Love level f this I'm out...

Hard to argue with results. 5 of those 11 teams have made a finals/won a championship within the last 5 years. If we include Conference finals appearances, then 10/11 of them have been in at least 1 in the last 5 years.
The only one that missed out on both qualifiers are the Jazz, who have been in the playoffs for 5 straight years. Winning=good management.
The Mavs have made big strides from where they were 3 years ago. Playoffs 2 years in a row but with first round exits. Hopefully they make a leap this year. I bet you if they do you'll start seeing Mavs management being praised for their moves (as its basically a positive feedback loop. Do good=players look good=management looks good for getting good players)

Wow. He didn't even try.
Still to give up on a former FRP made by you/management after only 2 years is shocking to say the least. Goes to show how much faith the Spurs management had in him to put in work to improve.
Needless to say I don't see a path for him to stay in the NBA. If Pop/Spurs basically waive you because you're lazy, then that label sticks with you for the rest of your career. Maybe he'll have a Boris Diaw-like resurgence somewhere else?

That means he has to get fat to be any good
I'm excited to see this enforced on guys like Harden and Young, but I'm a little worried about its effect on Luka.

Lol at Harden shattering records.
Its hard for me to respect Harden given how he plays.
Kyrie Irving is in the running for the biggest nutcase the NBA has ever seen.
Sure Rodman was weird, marrying himself and all... But Kyrie has the talent to be one of the greatest point guards ever. Yet his attitude and drama he creates is enough for teams to simply say he's not worth the trouble!
Think about that. Kyrie is probably the greatest ball-handler ever. He's one of the best offensive scorers as well. He just came off a 50/40/90 season and is in the prime of his career. Yet the Nets are more than willing to say, "no thank you. Please stay home so the media can leave us alone. You're a distraction"
Insane stuff.

Forgive the rabbit trail. But the Kyrie drama got me thinking "which countries do they (flat earthers) view as on the edge?
I guess maybe they think the North Pole is in the center and what we call Antarctica is a sheet of ice around the edges of the world.
That's the only way they could make sense of the connectivity of Russia>Alaaka>Canada>Greenland/iceland>Scandinavia >Russia.
Ha ha! Sorry. Late night nachos and deep thoughts.
...but then, that gets blown up by the short trade route between Africa and South America. The size of the land masses south of the equator, the seafaring exploits of ancient Polynesians...the connectivity of Adrica>Oceania>South America>Africa. The distances on their maps wouldn't make sense.

Maybe Luka can give him advice?

Forward projection and everything, but sometimes NBA logic is just strange.
Jokic, Saric and Bitadze were ABA MVP´s at Samaric´s age, while Samaric was a mere game to game footnote, yet he was picked 19th. Not even sharing a first name with Doncic, should have gotten him into the 1st round.

That's so weird because I find every time I eat nachos I too start to wonder about the Earth's shape. Something about that delectable tortilla chip+melted cheese combo....
lol. Anyways from my limited knowledge of flat earthers, I'm pretty sure they think the entire world is surrounded by an impenetrable ice wall. And that ice wall is actually Antarctica. So I think that'd be the edge...?
I still crack up about the time some flat earthers spent $20,000 buying a highly precise gyroscope to "prove" the earth was flat, but in the process of doing so they actually proved it was round.
