@natewilm @Clyde_Sports25 @ForePlayPod Bryson defenders are insufferable. Guy sucks

@Clyde_Sports25 @ForePlayPod We're talking about the interviewer, correct?

“Hey Bryson, how long does it take to 3D print irons?” Bryson: Oh, about a day and a half “Cool — would you make a new one for this weekend?” Bryson: *acts like that is the most unfathomable question in the history of journalism*

@KevinOConnor What an absolute joke of a league. Another overcorrection from terrorist Silver. It’s his fault we are in this mess in the first place

During the NBA GM meeting this week, one person suggested make the bottom three teams ineligible for the top picks entirely. The league, per multiple sources, found this to be way too extreme. But then another person on the call offered a softer version of the same concept: What if the bottom three teams just had slightly lower odds than the teams ranked four through 10? Not zero. Just a little less. Sources on the call say Adam Silver responded enthusiastically to this idea. Which speaks to the state of lottery reform. The 18 team/8% odds for the top 10 concept is simply still just the concept. The specifics of it will change by the time the league votes on it in late May. And adjustments — like this one — are still in heavy consideration. I think it’s brilliant. Under that structure, with the bottom three teams having slightly worse odds, there is no longer a single point in the standings where losing helps you. Tanking all the way to the bottom hurts you a bit. It’s not quite relegation that you’d see in the Premier League, but it’s the NBA’s own form that would punish being the worst in the league. And much like Premier League teams have entertaining games to prevent relegation, NBA teams would too. Picture two bad teams in late March, both within a game of the bottom three, both desperate to win. That's a win for the fans. Picture the front office of the Wizards doing the calculus on whether to shut down Trae Young and Anthony Davis and realizing that, actually, no, the vets need to go play, because falling in the standings is a real cost now, not a reward. That's a win for the sport. Picture Sacramento intentionally fouling Seth Curry late in a game, and the conversation around it shifting from "nefarious tanking" to "bad coaching." That's a win for the league. More on @YahooSports:

@Fullcourtpass @KevinOConnor @TheNBABase Adam Silver is reportedly “autistic”

Adam Silver is reportedly "enthusiastic" about a new lottery reform proposal that would give the bottom three teams worse odds than teams ranked 4-10, per @KevinOConnor (h/t @TheNBABase)

@Luck7jack8te @Nfldraftregs @esidery This doesn’t fix the problem the bad teams will just continue to stay bad while the play in teams that get eliminated will have a better chance to jump up when more and more teams become ineligible for a top 3 pick you get that right

@KolbFanClub @Nfldraftregs @esidery draft better. still eligible for other lottery picks just not top 3 cuz it rotates

How the odds to land No. 1 overall would change, if NBA owners pass this lottery reform proposal next month: 1. 14% / 8% 2. 14% / 8% 3. 14% / 8% 4. 12.5% / 8% 5. 10.5% / 8% 6. 9% / 8% 7. 7.5% / 8% 8. 6% / 8% 9. 4.5% / 8% 10. 3% / 8% The mid-lottery teams get the biggest boost.

@Luck7jack8te @Nfldraftregs @esidery What happens if the guy you take number 1 is a bust or can’t stay healthy? That team just stays terrible for 3 years and can’t get a top 3 pick? You’d also be boosting the odds of all the other teams in that 3 year span, you’d end up with a ton of teams jumping up

@KolbFanClub @Nfldraftregs @esidery top 3 picks should cycle every few years with the teams at the bottom. you get a #1 pick you not eligible again for another 3 years for a top 3 pick.

@Nfldraftregs @esidery Well that’s not possible with the way the lottery is now structured. You have that dickhead Adam Silver to thank for that. Maybe if he let the odds be what they were the worst teams would actually pick the highest, instead of rigging it for the Mavs and Spurs

@KolbFanClub @esidery If everyone tried their hardest to win, the worst teams would end up with the top pick every year because they have the worst players. It shouldnt be the team who tries the least gets a reward

@Nfldraftregs @FootballEnt2334 @esidery How would you measure whether a team is “trying”? What if they field a roster to open the season that just isn’t good? How is that team ever supposed to improve?

@FootballEnt2334 @KolbFanClub @esidery Literally all they have to do is try to win. Thats it. Try. Why is this so hard to comprehend? As long as they try, they keep the pick.

@Nfldraftregs @esidery Lol, how do you think the top teams currently got to where they are? “Trying to win” when you have no chance puts you stuck in purgatory, see the Suns for the foreseeable future and the Bulls for the past 6 years

@KolbFanClub @esidery How about don’t tank? It’s that easy. Try to win. The penalties have to have teeth.

@Nfldraftregs @esidery Dumbest suggestion I’ve seen. That will just make those teams worse and stuck in a cycle. It’s silvers fault there are this many teams tanking, if he left the odds alone from the start and let the actual bad teams pick at the top this wouldn’t be happening.

@esidery I’m still in favor of stripping the tanking teams of their 1st rd picks this year. That’ll fix it immediately

@BryBryStrick I’ve seen a lot of dumb masters bets this one is definetly up there. 4 legs for -133 is garbage

Two quick days on the course for the old lads and then back to retirement 😂 They ain't making the cut

@Hughjas48 @insiderJmoney Shane Wright sucks

@insiderJmoney Or even Wright

I think the Flyers need to take a swing on trying to acquire Matty Beniers. If the Kraken want a haul, we could probably make something work.

@phillypain8 @_kyle_frey Hate to break it to you, but winning a cup was never the most important thing to Claude Giroux. Made it obvious when he pushed to go to FL and signed with OTT. He built a culture that was complacent with being painfully average as captain. He scored 4 playoff goals over 7 years.

@KolbFanClub @_kyle_frey Lmfao yes I’m sure Giroux did noting at all during his entire flyers tenure

Still utterly ridiculous they gave Taylor Hall the Hart Trophy that year

@Trysta_Krick @krystenpeek Keegan, Kris, same shit. Both suck. He’ll be ass

@KolbFanClub @krystenpeek Keaton Murray? lol

My previous employer pushed me out for another middle-aged man who is never in the gym to cover the draft. Here’s my top 10: AJ Dybantsa Darryn Peterson Cam Boozer Caleb Wilson Keaton Wagler Kingston Flemings Darius Acuff Mikel Brown Jr Yaxel Lendeborg Nate Ament

@MadeForTheRange Yeah noticing he’s still a whiny little bitch

Morikawa on the range. Notice anything? 👀

@phillypain8 @_kyle_frey And proceeded to do nothing like he did for 8+ years

@_kyle_frey Single handedly took this team to the playoffs on his back

@AdamSchefter Both busts, fitting

The last time a No. 1 overall pick QB did not attend the NFL Draft was in 2021, when the Jaguars selected Trevor Lawrence.

@bfowers @M27harp @DavidDJJames Yeah that was definitely the problem, not that Ja couldn’t stay on the floor. Desmond Bane existed. They had a real chance to beat the Warriors in ‘22 who won it all, not that you remember cause you just started watching basketball. Jazz have a lot of bad options for sure

@KolbFanClub @M27harp @DavidDJJames And that was the problem with Memphis. They relied too much on two players. Jazz will have a lot of options. We can do this all night though.

David Locke says Ace Bailey could be the No. 1 option on offense for the Jazz by next February. Possible or impossible?

@stoolpresidente Con Con is such a fággot and Michigan fans celebrate this clown for some reason

Vibes couldn’t be higher

@bfowers @M27harp @DavidDJJames “Not what he used to be” he’s 26 you’re talking about him like he’s 32. Bailey is an inefficient chucker and belongs on a losing team for the rest of his career. He’ll make a great tank commander

@KolbFanClub @M27harp @DavidDJJames Take it easy tough guy. He isn’t what he used to be. Ace is dynamic. So we’ll see
