OG is the better player, so it would make sense. Mikal Bridges is the reason I'm not that worried about the Knicks

Seems crazy that Bridges is already 28 and Giannis is only 30

GA didn’t waste time in college, instead he got rotational minutes for a team that won less games than many college teams that season.

LeBron starting a Saudi Liv-like NBA league would be the most “The Decision” thing ever.

I do feel bad for him on a human level. On a basketball level, I can't think of a player who's been more celebrated for accomplishing less. Or even equally celebrated for accomplishing equal.

Was he not one of the best 3 players in the league for a several year stretch? 3x all defense, 2 scoring titles. On a basketball level, Embiid stands in rarefied air. I think he'll have a Chris Paul legacy where his greatness is overshadowed by his injuries.

4/229 for Fox. Of course he's getting a max, but when you see it written out...goodness.

99% of the time I'm the "what were they supposed to do, let him walk?" guy, but yikes. That's just absurd money for a fringe All-Star guy at best. What was the urgency to get this done?

A lot of teams have been absolutely screwed (or lucky in the Pacers case) by timing of trades and subsequent injuries. The fox trade was 2 weeks before Wemby was shut down. (surprisingly didn't have much of an impact on seeding as they went 11-19 after and probably wouldn't have gone up or down at all based on the Fox trade).

If they knew Wemby was done, do they wait another year and see what they could get in the offseason? I think they traded #12 and #42 in 2025 (which ironically were for the 2 french big men) plus 2 more firsts*****? Could probably still have gotten a Fox equivalent this off-season or at the deadline but someone that would not force them into the tax next year.

****Side Rant: Every trade should be announced as In/Out, redundancy be damned. I'm trying to figure out what the spurs actually traded for Fox and it is too hard to tell as the pics get passed around so much.

Can you think of a player who's been more celebrated for accomplishing less? Chris Paul absolutely does not qualify.

Seriously lol. Judging from that video the guy has Tua Tagovailoa's self-preservation skills combined with Thon's mid-air coordination.

Shot release is nice though and he certainly moves well for a 6-10 guy.

What do you mean by accomplishing less? I think Embiid has accomplished a ton.
