@StoolGreenie Not as important as teams tanking the games mid season ruining the actual tv product.

So what's going to be the solve for when teams still tank like they always have, only now bad teams get screwed?
Also, what about trades that included future picks that are now screwed because the system changed?
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
Breaking: The NBA's Board of Governors has passed new anti-tanking rules that include expanding the draft lottery from 14 to 16 teams, a relegation zone where the bottom 3 teams get penalized with lessened chances for the No. 1 pick, and flattened odds, sources tell ESPN.

@omaradelmavs Most teams in the league could use a PJ Washington. A good PF is the hardest position to find in the league…

I might be the only one who isn't moved by yaxel highlights at all he is old looks like a slower and less athletic version of pJ Washington but a better shooter to me
Evan Sidery@esidery
Yaxel Lendeborg is generating significant pre-draft interest from the following teams: Bucks Warriors Thunder Heat Hornets All teams in the 10-14 range, Lendeborg looks like a surefire lottery selection next month.

@DaneMooreNBA Listened to the pod. There was a lot of smoke for Randle, but not much for Ant and he’s the face of the franchise. Everyone follows the leader.

Most important offseason Wolves thing to me is figuring out why this team has been incapable of developing championship habits during the regular season.
And addressing those reasons. All of them.
Anthony Edwards on championship habits...
“We’ve just got to listen to the coaches. We had a hard time with like processing stuff and going out there and doing it, trying to do stuff on our own. I think that’s our problem... I feel like you’re supposed to build championship habits in the regular season."

We lost in the first round to the Sixers. Who got swept by a team that’s less talented than both monsters in WCF…

The Celtics don't need a summer blockbuster to deliver their next championship. And they shouldn't break up Tatum and Brown, IMO. Instead, they could use two of the most valuable tools at their disposal to cultivate a better path forward. hardwoodhoudini.com/2-offseason-mo…

I’m frustrated to see another Celtics team lose to a team they should defeat.
Ime’s team should’ve beaten GS, and the 3 non-title winners under Mazzulla should have beaten their playoff opponents.
What are the issues that unite those teams? Poor offensive execution? What else?
English
I won’t let the expectations goal post moving for this year’s Celtics ruin this season. However the front office has to figure out where to go next, without gap year expectations, so that requires looking at the trends of the last 4-5 years coupled w/the development shown this yr

Once again it’s easy to point at Boston missing threes, but I’m not sure if they even had another choice with the way the roster is constructed.
The offense becomes stagnant bc they lack the creation talent to balance out paint touches into horizontal pass movements.
Spacebar@spacebarNBA
The Celtics offense being this good is hilarious They’re dead last in FTA / corner 3s / 28th in paint points They can’t generate the arguably three most efficient shots in basketball, yet they’re still a T4 offense nevertheless
English
So under the new tanking rules, the Magic might make the 2nd round while simultaneously having a chance at a top pick? Or imagine the 2023 8 seed Heat- make the Finals and get a chance at a top pick. This seems insane.

@VinceGoodwill Our star center had a crippling illness….that still affects him two teams later
English
@midrangejumpr2 @PranavSriraman Castle’s almost 2 years younger. January vs November birthdays. That’s a big difference when talking young players. Especially with Castle arguably having a better year…
English
@contractyearC @PranavSriraman Amen Thompson was born in 2003 and Castle was born in 2004. Bringing up age is negligible and hilarious lol Amen is a generational athlete and that ain’t changing.
English
Stephon Castle is a weird player. Obviously very talented and knows how to leverage his tools into being impactful, and NBA fans underrate the hell out of being synergetic with your stars which he absolutely is.
But I think there’s got to be some level of gauging his impact properly. The Amen Thompson comparisons for starters feel a bit laughable to me. Amen is outrageously clear on offense and probably possesses more talent on defense as well. Like just gauging his ability to play off the ball and be ultra efficient in that role and be the best defender on the Rockets like why wouldn’t I or any GM in the league think he can heighten that next to a guy like Wemby. And again I don’t want to downplay Steph’s ability to fit cause it’s great but like just seeing those two compared so frequently it’s like Amen can do that too while he’s also just better without the favorable circumstances. A bit of a ramble.
English
@midrangejumpr2 @PranavSriraman Castle might make 3rd team all NBA & is the same age as rookie year Amen.
English
@contractyearC @PranavSriraman Amen was first team all defense in his second season

@davidaldridgedc The mid/low majors had them for a year. Why do they deserve compensation? That compensation should be fairly routed to the players like any other open market.
English
I am rapidly coming to believe the European soccer transfer model should be adapted for NCAA D1 hoops. Mid- and low majors have to get some kind of compensation when they lose half of their teams to the portal in two weeks:
Shane Tuttle@ShaneTuttleNCAA
There are currently 2,901 players in the men’s basketball transfer portal, opening 14 hours ago. With only 5,607 Division I players total, more than half of the player pool is now in the portal.
English
LaMelo/Kon/Miller with Moussa on the glass might be the greatest lineup synergy of the decade
That quartet is at least a +20 with Toppin/DJJ in 0’s place
Mediocrity Enjoyer@bloomkral
@dlee4three The 2026 Charlotte Hornets have the best starting 5 of all time, many are saying. Indisputable proof here
