@StephanieBowes2@pitlessball Ya I agree, Jakob is hurting still and is too slow for this team aggressive plays and defence. Best we got right now until something comes up. I think they tried to pull the trigger last trade deadline but no takers. Who's out there?
@MatthewFairburn@PierreVLeBrun I hated Buffalo all my life right up there with the Canadians. Age and the complete embarrassment of the Leafs has made me a NHL fan. Thanks Leafs for letting me experience good Teams. Who those out there you can have life without the leafs. Mic Drop

Zach Benson is more than just a rat or a meme machine. He's become one of Buffalo's smartest and most important players.

2026 Thunder (6-0, +105)
2009 Cavaliers (6-0, +109)
1987 Lakers (6-0, +131)
1985 Lakers (6-0, +105)
@mcuban I'm all in for tanking but heres a twist. Tank all you want than at some point near the end of the season , bottom 4 play for the pick. Winner gets top pick
Why the NBA should embrace tanking -
The NBA has kate been misguided thinking that fans want to see their teams compete every night with a chance to win. It’s never been that way that way.
When I got into the nba, they thought they were in the basketball business. They aren’t. They are in the business of creating experiences for fans.
Few can remember the score from the last game they saw or went to. They can’t remember the dunks or shots. What they remember is who they were with. Their family, friends, a date. That’s what makes the experience special.
Fans know their team can’t win every game. They know only one team can win a ring. What fan that care about their team’s record want is hope. Hope they will get better and have a chance to compete for the playoffs and then maybe a ring.
The one way to get closer to that is via the draft. And trades. And cap room. You have a better chance of improving via all 3 , when you tank.
We didn’t tank often. Only a few times over 23 years, but when we did, our fans appreciated it. And it got us to where we could improve, trade up to get Luka and improve our team.
The nba should worry more about fan experience than tanking. It should worry more about pricing fans out of games than tanking.
You know who cares the least about tanking , a parent who cant afford to bring their 3 kids to a game and buy their kids a jersey of their fave player
Tanking isn’t the issue. Affordability and quality of game presentation are
@Sid_Seixeiro Where do I start.
I am so glad you are back on the air. BT couldn't handle the 120grit you brought. From your radio show that got me through my office years to the morning show we watchat my bakery every morning. Now a podcast
