Brooks is at least 3 Grayson’s

I wouldn’t call what the Grizzlies are doing tanking.

It’s pretty nice when you can make the playoffs while also slowly building up the team.

Send Kyle Anderson but they should only sell Brooks for a kings ransom.

That’s really what you see when you look at Australia?

There is some middle ground. Always the option of the local 4 year public and borrowing substantially less for a far better ROI.

I went to a crazy expensive private school for my bachelor.

Do they have a home court?

Because he spent 16 years in the league they are trying to get to? He can help them understand the things that make you long-term successful and help them develop their game. Do you think Sheed doesn’t carry mad respect in basketball circles?

COMMENT 26d ago

You’re exactly right. Sounds like it’s been done for a while and waited for an advantageous news drop. Everyone on sports tv and radio talking about Sheed today will also be talking about Emoni and all the “what-ifs.” Penny knows marketing.

There it is. Just in time for Emoni’s official visit.

Congrats, OP. You got this sub to defend BdB

Penny has talked up his positionless basketball. I think you’ll see a lot of people handling the point. If ALo averages 20 minutes per game, you’re looking at the other 20 minutes of the game with every player on the floor 6’5” or taller. Not sure how the offense will flow but the defense will be suffocating.

The PG situation isn’t at all ideal. Lomax is not a starting PG for a title contending team and the other guys are more natural 2s. I wish Penny would’ve used the Lawsons’ scholarships on a veteran PG transfer.

The billions of dollars of advanced military equipment and weapons were left with the ANA and they gave it up to the Taliban. The only way to keep the Taliban from getting it would be to have taken it away from the ANA when the troops left. Or does the gorilla have a better idea?

I would still have Memphis below Houston even if Bates commits but I’ll take it. I don’t really see Cincy and think you’re sleeping a bit on SMU but otherwise, well done.

Deandre Williams was arguably our best player last year. He does it all but he was forced to play the 5 too much because Cisse was unplayable for most of the end of the season. I’m excited to see Williams and Duren in high-low. Williams is an excellent passer and very capable around the perimeter. Those guys should be monsters. There are way more questions at PG than in the paint as you point out. I don’t think Lester is a great PG option so I don’t really get everyone listing him as our starting PG. Penny loves Lomax so he’s probably getting the start which caps the ceiling.

Not competing for a title this year. They’re ahead of schedule on the rebuild but that doesn’t mean they’re going to rush it. Jonas and Kyle’s contracts are up after this season and they weren’t planning to pay them big money to come back. Might as well get assets for them before they walk.

Did anyone else read this like Kyle Anderson was the source? Commas are hard.
