Jared McCain has been a lights-out shooter since joining OKC, despite a very minimal uptick in shot quality

Not a word in the Western press about Israel's assassination attempt on Steve Sweeney. But this clown circus by a BBC journalist pretending to be under fire in Ukraine, while an elderly lady was walking the dog asking him if he was ok, was plastered all over the news.

The RT journalist Steve Sweeney and his crew were deliberately targeted by Israel while filming a report in Lebanon. He's alive, but being treated for injuries.

Reports indicate that in October 2018 Rama Duwaji reposted a tweet stating that it was “lowkey bisexual for a grown man to order a milkshake.”

we live in age of great moral panics about things that don’t matter at all and zero moral outrage over some of the most egregious societal sins we’ve ever seen

@Rob18133Rob McCain scored 22 a night while getting starter minutes. The real point of using per 36 was to normalize Maxey's inflated numbers

@bdetrick Per 36 is cool in theory. But until the player shows they can handle that load at 36 min per game it’s just theory.

Small guard stigma in modern NBA is very similar to the decline of non-shooting bigs a decade ago: they aren't hard to find, you can only play one at a time, and it's risky to invest heavily in one unless you're certain they're elite
AKelly@andlankell

I think small guard skepticism is clearly warranted but possibly becoming too consensus. Trae and Ja are cautionary tales, but there’s also Mitchell and Brunson who continue to power top teams. The market might let one of these slip thru by being too cautious IMO.

@Rob18133Rob McCain was literally a "Maxey replacement" as a rookie and averaged 22 points per 36 minutes, which is basically what Maxey has averaged for his career

rob@Rob18133Rob·
@bdetrick I compared games bc you said he was a Maxey replacement…. He isn’t. That’s kind of the point. Why would they trade Maxey? And why hold on to a guy instead of getting a 1 “in case they trade Maxey” I don’t get that. Ps he isn’t a combo guard. He is a shooter

@Rob18133Rob Not sure why you're comparing their games. The point is that if Philly opted to trade Maxey for a haul, they would have had a younger, cheaper combo guard on the roster—and now they don't

@bdetrick Isn’t even close defensively as Maxey. Can’t shoo off the dribble like Maxey. Can’t get to the rim like Macy. He is smaller (4-5 inch shorter wingspan) and slower than Maxey. Their games aren’t even similar. They are just the same height (ish)

@Rob18133Rob I'm sure that was the thought process. But Philly also traded McCain when his value was crippled and eliminated the possibility of him being Maxey's cost-effective replacement in the inevitable future rebuild

@bdetrick Well Maxey is a 6’2 guard you’re heavily invested in. And McCain is also 6’2 guard you would eventually have to pay at a starter level (assuming he is as good as Sixers twitter makes him out to be) about the same time Maxey gets his next max and VJ is paid. So I’d say so
