I talked about it on the postgame with Dave, but I really don't like the "playing down to the competition" framing. Yes, maybe if you play harder...
A good example is a few weeks ago, I presented some background info on FVV and the KD pursuit last summer, and I had a few folks kinda arguing...
Appreciate that. Also, keep in mind that there's a balance when it comes to disseminating information. We can and do share our opinions at times,...
And as a follow-up to this, "fit" is especially important for the Rockets because they didn't get a Wemby/Cade "transcendent" guy in the lottery....
Two of the last three Reed starts were against the Kings and the Wizards, and the game in between (Miami), they largely lost it early in the...
I won't speak for Dave, but I'd post a ton more here if folks would just drop the ad hominems and ask questions. I'm an open book. For instance,...
Lots of players sign max deals for not max length -- yes, those are still max contracts. And there were a ton of other FAs they could have given...
My bad, I thought you were referencing the video. Fair
It's not a copout. It's just me trying to explain what the thought process was, since I think the whole question of "why not have a backup plan"...
Absolutely it is. Just explaining my perspective, that's all.
Also, to address this angle specifically, yeah -- I'm absolutely biased and using rose colored glasses, to some extent. I own that. I want nothing...
They literally gave Fred a max contract! And also, in their eyes, he was the most valuable player last season on the No. 2 seed in the West. They...
For those curious, the Rockets are practicing midday tomorrow. I strongly suspect this will come up in post-practice interviews. So, we'll have...
Also, shameless plug, but I did talk about the KD burner allegations today (fairly similar to the post above) on Robert Land's show. Starting at...
Also, to those referencing the silence of the "social media celebrity" fan bloggers (who admittedly talk for the sake of talking about so many...
Right, it's not an apples to apples because obviously the 2017 Warriors had more talent, it's just to say that winning is what ultimately matters....
Also, it's not just about "is it true." If it is, the angle that matters most (IMO) is how the team reacts and responds. What do Alpi and Jabari...
And as it turned out, you ended up losing not only Fred, but also Dillon/Jalen (due to the salary match) and later Steven. That's four of your top...
As @OremLK laid out earlier in this thread, they absolutely do not believe that. That's the disconnect here. They viewed FVV, and this was before...
Understood. One bit of clarification, this was actually in our postgame show from one week ago (i.e. first game post-deadline), it just got...
