@Deuce1042 Very true. But also might hurt GSV in the long run by ending up with a middling pick this draft.

I hope what the Golden State Valkyries did last season doesn't set people's expectations too high. Expansion teams are usually pretty bad early on.

@PaulCzarnecki18 @nathanmarzion I get that - like I said, he’s very tantalizing. He’s also a month older than Josh Giddey.
It’s giving me Wesley Johnson vibes who was 23 by the start of his rookie year, had an amazing last season at Syracuse and was drafted one spot ahead of DeMarcus Cousins.
English
@TiminTosa @nathanmarzion to be fair, I can’t remember the last time a four-year guy was this highly regarded in just as stacked a draft class (Edey? Maybe Jaquez?)
Personally, I think Lendeborg has it all: defense, length, interior scoring, playmaking and high potential as a shooter. I’d take him at 10
English
My early favorite draft prospects for the Bucks (assuming ~10th pick):
1. Labaron Philon
2. Mikel Brown Jr
3. Dailyn Swain
4. Yaxel Lendeborg
5. Keaton Wagler
6. Brayden Burries
(Subject to change)

I always tell people to go watch Game 1 of the 2001 Finals to see what Shaq really was.
People remember that game for Iverson stepping over Lue but if you watch the actual game you come away thinking "holy shit Shaq was a different species."

Prime Shaq was a terror Imagine 300 pounds grabbing a rebound and coming at you like this

@Betsycashmoney Remains to be seen but, he’s won two playoff series in 8 years in a bad conference.

We gotta stop acting like Trae Young is a bad outcome for a draft pick....
NBA Base@TheNBABase
An anonymous West executive warns against drafting Darius Acuff Jr. by using Trae Young as a “lesson,” “I think there's never been a worse time to build around bad defensive guards. We see this time and time again — the flashiest offensive impact in the draft doesn't necessarily end up winning the most. It ends up being, you know, Derrick White and Jrue Holiday and Alex Caruso, go down the list... Trae Young was traded for basically nothing.” (Via @JeremyWoo )

@ZoeCoachesBall Got it.
Lots of speculation that they leave Nneka unprotected thinking that she’d resign with Seattle and would understand the team wanting to retain another player.
That said, I don’t think Ezi is long for this team.
English
@TiminTosa explained it here, don't think it makes sense for the Storm to protect either of them, even if they'd love to bring Sykes back on a team-friendly salary

SEATTLE STORM EXPANSION DRAFT PREVIEW - the Storm can't afford to pay everyone but also can't afford to rebuild and lose fan interest - if a team is willing to pay Sykes she's gone - don't think Ezi's back either way so might as well just protect Horston who they need to keep
English
WNBA EXPANSION MOCK DRAFT
- protections based on my previews (on my profile, yell at me there)
- conflicting reports on the order but this should be correct
- Ezi and Sykes are my UFA picks
- most of these players will be drafted in some order
Who has the better roster?
English
@CinqHeracles @BurberryKhi They faced each other multiple times in the playoffs - the Suns never won and this is the only series Duncan was outplayed yet he still averaged 27/14/3 with almost 2 blocks that series.
English
@HesiTweenHesi @Unduhcover Do you think if you traded Shaq for David Robinson those seasons, the results would have been the same?
English
In 2008, , 2009, 2010 when Kobe was big stepping through the entire CONFRENCE and won it 3 times in a row
There was zero tim Duncan talk
Don’t ever let the spreadsheet gangstas tell you he had no run of dominance that’s false
We all remember

This right here ended the Kobe Tim Duncan debate
English
@GOATofGOATS_MMA @trendyhoopstars Not sure this will be true after the draft.
English
@trendyhoopstars On paper, Chicago has the better team... Just no management or coaching
English
Now that we’re a year removed from the deal, who won this trade?
Chicago received: Ariel Atkins
Washington received: 2025 No. 3 pick (Sonia Citron), and the rights to swap 2027 picks (potential lottery pick)
English
@Astronomous2324 @Unduhcover So after Tim Duncan turned 30, he was no longer believed to be the best player in the world. Got it.
English
@TiminTosa @Unduhcover Yeah and after 07 no one was saying TD was the best player in the world 😂03,05, was different.
English
@Jamarri24 @o3Jigg @Thechat101 He had to shoot five more shots per game to get five more points than DWade did this season.
Nobody’s attempted more shots per game in a season in the last 25 years.

Gilbert Arenas says Dwyane Wade is a better all-around basketball player than James Harden. He says the reason Dwyane Wade hasn’t won a scoring title or an MVP in his career is because LeBron James came to the team and he adjusted his game.
English
@Astronomous2324 @Unduhcover Do you have video of San Antonio’s two championships during that stretch?
English
@TiminTosa @Unduhcover Kobe was widely considered the best player in the league 06 and 07. We literally have video. If anyone else was in those talks it was LeBron 07-08 then everyone was debating Kobe vs Bron 09-10

@ClayTravis “No one in Congress in 1868 would have intended this.”
I’d like to welcome you to the liberal wing of the country.
English
4. No one in Congress in 1868 would have intended this result — or voted for it — they could never conceptualize a world where this technology and result would have ever occurred. This is a flaw of citing the historical record. It dealt with issues then not now.
English
Thoughts on the birthright citizenship case. 1. The court is going to reject the president’s executive authority here & say his interpretation of the 14th amendment is incorrect. 2. In so doing they are going to cite the historical record & say birthright citizenship is the law.
