@JeffGold81 The point being that if you believe in having a stud RB on your team you should probably just get one in FA to get the known quantity instead of taking the risk in the draft where there is basically zero upside from a cap perspective.

@JeffGold81 Gibbs obviously but you can't just ignore market dynamics. RB talent is simply easier to find. Supply and demand. If I have 12 mil to spend on a RB I can get a stud like James Cook or Josh Jacobs vs if I spend 12 mil on a WR I have to settle for Jalen Nailor.

Please do not take Jeremiyah Love at 3 overall

@JeffGold81 @rollinyahtzees @BenjaminSolak You would have to believe that the thousands of people who work in the NFL are all completely wrong about the RB positional value and you are the one that's correct then. And even then it would still be more advantageous to just sign a premium guy who is a sure thing instead.

@b_hoff0804 @rollinyahtzees @BenjaminSolak I’m completely aware of this. I’m saying I don’t agree with the assessment and value judgment.

@JeffGold81 @rollinyahtzees @BenjaminSolak The top 5 RB salaries in the league avg to 16.5. top 5 EDGE avg to 44.5. Number 3 pick will make 12.5 per year. If RB becomes top 5 in the league you save 4 mil to spend on rest of the team. If EDGE becomes top 5 in the league you save 30 mil to spend on the rest of the team.

@rollinyahtzees @BenjaminSolak i don't really get that. put QB's aside -- that's a completely different conversation. do you really think other players are helping teams more than jahmyr gibbs last year or saquon barkley in 2024? it doesn't make sense to me.

@BobbyMarks42 How are Conley and Dieng able to be moved in a separate deal when they were recently traded? Doesn't this have to be included into the deal yesterday? That would make it one trade and the Bogut rule doesn't apply so he can't go back to Minnesota.

In a scenario where Mike Conley is waived by Charlotte, he is allowed to sign with Minnesota. It’s called the “Andrew Bogut” rule. espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

@MikePradaNBA And if you take out his 3 worst games he’s 41/100 What is the point of taking out 13% of an already small sample?

R.J. Barrett has a 7-8, 6-8, and 5-8 game from three this year. He’s 24-97 in the other 20 games.

@skydrew__ We can have a lineup with randle at 5 and obi at 4 where trae has to guard somebody 1 on 1 every time down the floor and that should be a bucket on basically every possession

@skydrew__ You could have Quickley lead 2nd unit I guess but he’s been so solid off ball that I think you stick with that. Also more importantly how can you only go to RJ one time in the 4th with trae as his primary defender?

@Jordan_Gold0 My timeline has me pinned down perfectly

If Elfrid Payton can be the starting PG for the 4 seed New York Knicks, Melo Trimble should be on an NBA roster.

@Itching2Rip @jackfrank_jjf Maybe top 5 is a stretch but top 7 is very attainable for him

Yeah, just enjoy this one, I guess

This Suns team is going to be super fun to watch this year

@NBADraftAddict He was 4th on the 7th seed team last year. Harden isn’t going to be a factor most likely and giannis is unlikely to win for a third straight year. If they’re 4th or 5th without KP for extended period I think that’s mvp worthy

@FredoDaGawd7 Shoulda had more points too if Randle and Payton remembered RJ was on the court in the second half

@ThomasCDee I’m seeing 49-40 Pacers

Total Rebounds #Pacers 62 #Knicks 44

@NBADraftAddict @HoodieCapalot RJ can be a much better passer though

@NBADraftAddict @HoodieCapalot To me his ceiling is a more complete version of Kelly Oubre. They both have that downhill scoring type mentality and secondary passing ability

@nickfalato @GiantsWorld2 They also all slide right which makes me think they all knew smith was coming across for that assignment

@nickfalato @GiantsWorld2 We ran a screen in the middle of the field in the red zone just before this if I remember correctly. Garrett hasn’t exactly earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to his play design
