@StanleySwanson0 They changed his contract so they could void his guarantees and release him before free agency

Serious question, not trying to hate but how long do the Magic allow JI to stay under contract with him being absolutely the most unavailable player in the league ?

@KeithSmithNBA They didn’t have one

Whew...Hawks dodged a bullet there. Knicks probably should have gone with a timeout. We have a series though!

@klwoodjr Ugh

Woke up on this beautiful Sunday but just remembered who is pitching for the Washington Nationals this afternoon

@MattyWorldPeace I think for most of us who start watching a team at a young age it’s impossible to switch to a new team. It’s like you physically have no choice but to watch and root for them no matter how many times they break your heart.

If it ever came to that point for me, id probably just not watch the NBA anymore

@JFootlongNBA Wouldn’t win us a championship though. Mose made us relevant again, Tibbs could get us into the championship conversation but his teams never get over the hump with him. We’d be right back here in 3-5 years wondering who could help us make the next leap.

Thibs will get the magic to level up it happens everywhere he goes

@StanleySwanson0 I worry that neither is an above average shooter though. I won’t advocate trading one of them unless next year is another disappointing season but I don’t think it’s quite the same as Tatum and Brown.

Same exact conversations were being had about Jalen Brown and Tatum. People just want instant gratification in today’s NBA and it shows who’s a casual and who’s actually watching the games .

@TheLando__ Wait that’s actually insane

A win in Philly would be this group’s first postseason road win. 0-7 on the road. 5-1 at home.

@NoFilm_Analysis @TFG_Football Why don’t you watch one of Marcus‘s videos just to see lol sheesh bro

@TFG_Football And I think you're underselling the amount of work and resources required for proper prospect evaluation. This is if you're actually evaluating prospects yourself and not relying on groupthink and consensus boards.

Good thing I don't use spreadsheets to tell me if a player is good or not. I agree that blending film and analytics is the key in proper prospect evaluations. That's what NFL teams and actual decision-makers do. Saying you can learn a lot about a player in 4 games is bullshit. It's a lie people tell themselves because they just started scouting prospects 3 months before the NFL draft and there isn't enough time to actually watch an adequate amount of film for a prospect before the draft. It's disrespectful to the players and discredits the amount of work they've put in on and off the field. And it's disrespectful to the actual draft analysts who put in an enormous amount of time, effort, and resources into proper film evaluation. Watching film on prospects is fun. But let's not act like watching a 4-game cut-up puts someone on the same level as film analysts who actually put in the work year-round. Watching film and evaluating prospects is a skill. It's an art. It requires experience, knowledge, expertise, and familiarity, not just as a whole, but for every position. You want me to put any kind of trust or value in the opinion of someone who's telling me how good a player is for someone they had no idea existed the week prior? People who actually put in the work can smell the bullshit. A vast majority of draft opinions by self-proclaimed film analysts are so shallow that they cave the second they receive any pushback. The NFL is doing it right because they have actual investment in prospect evaluation. If most NFL draft analysts were actually held to ANY kind of standard and required ANY kind of credibility in their prospect evaluation, the quality of draft content would increase exponentially. But they're not. No, you cannot evaluate the value of a player in 4 games. Or 6 games. Or 10 games. If you want your opinion to actually mean something then put in the work and watch the damn film. Otherwise, you're a content creator first and not an actual draft analyst.

@georgerlewis Dude you need to work for a team, this is so impressive

Tired of watching a blow out and want to turn your attention to tomorrow? I enjoyed Spencer's piece on game planning so much I recreated what the data from scouting Mitch Keller (tomorrows SP) would look like. Link below and here are some of the bullet points for LHH:

@Massa_YT Should’ve been out months ago. Time and time again this team doesn’t show up when they have to. Late game collapses, vanilla offensive scheme, defensive fall off, inconsistent effort, it all comes back to the coach unfortunately.

@MWT_2006 It wouldn’t shock me if Mosley is out after this season. Way too much talent on that roster to be this bad

Give me this fuck ass Orlando team in round 1 please Total dogshit bro

@SoulFromNE @sixringsofsteeI He was the Magic GM from 2012-2019

@MWT_2006 @sixringsofsteeI You know him?

Some interesting candidates the Bulls could target as their next GM: - Masai Ujiri (probably a pipe dream) - Bob Myers (Technically working for the 76ers) - Zach Kleiman (Grizzlies GM, from Chicago👀) - Jesse Gould (VP to Sam Presti in OKC) - Rob Hennigan (VP to Sam Presti in OKC) - Mike Zarren (VP to Brad Stevens in Boston) - Brock Aller (VP to Leon Rose in NY) - Nico Harrison...? (optics wise probably a bad idea lol)

@MarkZuckerman Hey Mark, just a quick bit of feedback. Would you mind waiting a couple minutes after the game ends to hit post on your instant analysis articles? MLB TV has a bit of a delay so getting a spoiler of the final score is a bit annoying in close games. Thanks in advance.

Cade Cavalli should've been out of a scoreless top of the 1st. But CJ Abrams booted what would've been a tailor-made 6-4-3 DP. Cavalli wound up throwing 11 extra pitches, and the Cardinals wound up scoring 2 runs.

@ajflax lol

Perhaps a more defensible interpretation of this is "the new regime is doing a better job of teaching plate discipline and pitch framing," instead of "the umps were biased against the 66-96 2025 Nationals".

@FmrTankCommandr I think his daughter plays volleyball there 🤔

Yeah, see here's the thing, if the Magic were actually interested in Mike Malone I'd bet he wouldn't be headed to North Carolina.

@RonDeSantis He’ll have to get traded if he’s going to crack the majors anytime before 2030 considering the Dodgers roster

Get that man to the Big Leagues!

@georgerlewis I don’t mind it, but if we’re following the same logic then Abrams shouldn’t be hitting sixth either

That swing is why they should keep Wood hitting first despite his struggles. If he was hitting 6th and his 3rd PA came up with two runners on, he’s likely getting a lefty RP. Hitting 1st allows you to get him as many repeat PAs against the SP as possible.

@PaulCubbage23 They could’ve skipped his turn in the rotation after the Thursday off day

Where I’m from we call those coaches and we certainly don’t let them start the home opener against the back to back champs

@PaulCubbage23 Crazy that Giolito is just sitting there on the market. He didn’t even have a bad year last year.

Current free agent starting pitchers I’d rather have over Miles Mikolas: Lucas Giolito Frankie Montas Alex Cobb Jon Gray Tyler Anderson Patrick Corbin Wade Miley Nester Cortes Marcus Stroman And many more
