Fuck Hollinger. Talks like he knows so much but couldnt do a damn thing when he had the job. Dumars has stripes and while the move is questionable he deserves the benefit of the doubt

Dumars has stripes and while the move is questionable he deserves the benefit of the doubt Questionable? Like trading Luka to the lakers questionable? Also, I love Rasheer Fleming. Great pick for Phoenix. He will probably turn out better than anybody the Nets drafted.

June 27Jun 27 8 hours ago, Mitch Cumsteen said: I'm not offended but holy shit do teams do stupid shit in the draft and make near sighted trades. The Warriors built a dynasty starting with drafting Steph Curry #7. Jokic was a second round pick for fucks sake. Giannis was pick #15. The Spurs had a generational talent "fall in their lap" at #15 as well (after they traded up to get him, I might add). Every year people do dumb shit in the draft and then you look up and Paul Pierce is available at #10. Halliburton is available at #12. It goes on and on. There are more self-inflicted wounds that prevent rebuilds than there is this amazing degree of difficulty to build a contender. You know, don't mortgage your future picks for overpaid, old vets. Don't overpay your role players. Don't draft guys 10 slots ahead of where they should be drafted. I just don't get the short term view that most franchises take. Don't pay for Joe Smith under the table
June 27Jun 27 i’ll give credit to malika andrews. just now, as they were going to commercial and showing a montage of players being drafted, she said, “this is the swag and style we’ve seen over the past two days where, according to me, 59 young men and one sports pundit have been drafted into the nba.” that’s how you own it.

If Queen doesn't make an all rookie first team, it's going to look worse next summer. But hey, we'll see.

I'm 99% sure they still could have made that trade with some protections.

June 27Jun 27 Ace Bailey is a giant bitch. The downside to showering all these 17 and 18 year old kids with millions is that some of them think they are Lebron already. Maybe discovering the concept of polygamy will cheer him up.
June 27Jun 27 Perhaps pro leagues should establish graduated entry level salary scales based on years of prior experience … high school thru college.
June 27Jun 27 Ainge is going to trade Bailey. I hope he gets hammered on the return because the was a bitch as a player.
June 27Jun 27 Ainge has no reason to trade Bailey. If he wants to play in the NBA he will play in UTAH unless he is going to sit out a yr and not play anywhere

Wasatch brewery in SLC makes Polygamy Porter, which is good.

Anybody who gives ATL less than an A for tonight has room temp IQ. Still in awe that NOLA traded an extremely likely 2026 lotto pick & #23 for the #13 overall pick. It's even more hilarious when one considers that they guy they picked at 23 is better than the guy NOLA picked at 13. On 6/26/2025 at 9:12 AM, Mitch Cumsteen said: So after processing last night... I still can't get over the Pels trading an unprotected FRP (the best of theirs or Milwaukee's) in next years draft and #23 to move up 10 spots. It's like Joe Dumars is saying, "Remember that time I drafted Darko Milicic over Carmelo Anthony, Dywane Wade, and Chris Bosh? Well, hold my beer." And I absolutely love Queen's game, but the pairing of him and Zion in New Orleans should be on the Food Network, not a basketball court. In a stacked west, they have next to zero chance of making the playoffs next year. That and the reach with Fears.... that was the hurricane Katrina of draft nights.

They could have a decent season and flirt with the playoffs and still get a top 3 pick. Like - what are the odds that pick next year is worse than 13th? 5%? Maybe? (AND they gave them another 1st rounder. Just fucking baffling) On 6/26/2025 at 4:40 PM, ChiTownDoc said: Why the fuck didn’t they insist on protecting, say, a top 5 pick? So the Pelicans are 0-4 (soon to be 0-6 at least) and have by far the worst point differential in the league. This is something that nobody saw coming. And when I say "nobody," I really mean everybody in the world including virtually this entire message board...everybody, that is, except Joe Dumars. Atlanta (as disappointing as they've been over the season's first 10 days) is in prime position to get one of the three elite talents in 2026 (Dybantsa, Peterson, Boozer). Man, that NOLA franchise got lotto lucky twice recently (AD and Zion) and have bubkis to show for it and now appears to settle in for a long stretch of wandering the NBA wildnerness.
