It's like a catch 22, he wants talent around him and wants to win but when your cap hit is 40 million(starting in 2022) and the team you go to has to sacrifice atleast the equivalent of 3 1st rounders to trade for you it really makes it tough to put that team around you.
im pretty sure watson just wants to be out of houston.

okafor cant get minutes on the worst team in the league and he's getting older.
he'll be in europe soon or out of basketball entirely.
-
why would any team want mcgruder or okafor? better yet, why would any team give up anything for either one?
the only way they get dealt is if its part of a larger deal and they need to make the salaries work.
sekou is much more likely to get traded than either one of those, but there's little point in trading him now because his value will be low, but he is still very young and did very well in the g league despite his age.
macgruder and okafor are what they are. and okafor plays a position that is becoming extinct in the nba and plays it poorly.

if russ is mad that he has no offensive line in seattle, wait until he gets a look at chicago...

according to schefter, wilson says the only teams he will accept a trade to are the cowboys, saints, raiders, and bears.
bears would totally spend three first round picks for wilson.

1 hour ago, 84 Lives!!! said:How long for the following players before they are no longer Pistons (and what happens to each, and who moves first):
Blake GriffinWayne Ellington
Delon Wright
Sekou Doumbouya
Rodney McGruder
Jahlil Okafor
blake is bought out before the end of the year and then is picked up by a team in the west.
ellington gets dealt for a pair of second round picks.
wright stays
sekou stays
mcgruder is released at the end of the year and is out of the league next season.
okafor is out at the end of the year and is out of the league next season.

and corey davis was pretty good last year too.

17 minutes ago, RandyMarsh said:I know this isn't necessarily a fair thing to do but if you look back at WR's taken in the top 10 the past 15 years you will see that it's not good at all.
2017: Corey Davis Mike Williams John Ross
2015: Amari Cooper Kevin White
2014: Sammy Watkins Mike Evans
2013: Tavon Austin
2012: Justin Blackmon
2011: Julio Jones AJ Green
2009: Darius Heyward-Bay Michael Crabtree
2007: Calvin Johnson Ted Ginn
There's the obvious exceptions of Calvin, Julio and AJ Green but boy outside of them and Evans none of those guys really lived up to their draft pick and in many instances were straight up busts. Of course I'm too lazy to do this with every position so perhaps they all have the same ratio of hits and misses, I just did it with WR cause I saw somebody on twitter mention how many WR busts there were and the dangers of taking one early so I had to see for myself.
i think you could do this with every position. its the same thing with quarterbacks. for every deshaun watson there is mitch trubisky. for every patrick mahomes there is sam darnold.
the nfl draft can be pretty crapshooty.

Can't wait for you to call him the next Dirk Nowitzki or a taller Larry Bird...

ok. does it say anything else you might find interesting, or is this just yet another exercise with del telling other posters how stupid their takes are?
i have never seen mobley play so i dont know. i googled mobley comps and thats the first thing that came up.

you could click on the link and read the article yourself instead of just being a sarcastic ***.

i'd be fine with that draft. especially sewell at 7 and harris lasting into the third. would like to see a receiver at some point but this team has so many needs on defense its hard to pass anyone up.
-
5 minutes ago, Deleterious said:Definitely some KG in him. Mobley has a better handle and passing though.
cant wait to see the pistons watch someone else draft him while we wait to see who falls to 5.

Not even sure who to compare him too.
kevin garnett?

i thought we were fubaring for kumar?

maddon was very close to being the new "goat" curse. his handling of pitchers in game seven was a complete joke.

i was told brad stevens was a genius.

40 minutes ago, Gehringer_2 said:Porcello's lifetime ERA+ is 98, which make him almost exactly the average pitcher. But it i agree that is it an above average accomplishment for a pitcher to have been at least average over 11 seasons. ERA+ 100 is basically your #3 starter.
98 is below average for a starting pitcher, which is what he's been for almost all of his career.
he has been healthy for most of it, so that's a positive.
i dont think the proper comparison for porcello is "every pitcher in baseball" like lee is saying. i think its better to see him compared with other starters. and compared to them he's been below average for most of his career. especially lately.
i would not sign him this year unless its on some sort of minor league show me deal.

Did Erickson and Garland suck?
they were mostly below average pitchers who didnt walk anybody and didnt give up home runs but gave up tons of hits.
erickson got hurt after age 31 and garland fell off the map, btw.

Jon Garland
Frank Viola
Brad Radke
Mark Buehrle
Dennis Eckersley
Javier Vazquez
Scott Erickson
Ervin Santana
Livan Hernandez
Rick Wise
erickson and garland maybe. the rest? lol. eckersley? is he planning on a late career resurgence as the greatest closer in history? somehow i doubt it.

Outdoor games are a stupid gimmick.

other than one fluke season, porcello has never been a good pitcher. he has on occasion been an average pitcher.
