Purdy to Aiyuk is just gross. Dropped that right in the middle of all of them
Sports betting is a cancer to actual sports performance. It's fine if you do it but nobody who doesn't bet gives a shit about it, especially the players.
Also, prop bets are basically Goodhart's Law in action. Why would a coach care if one of his players has a low statistical night if they can get the win a different way.
De’Aaron Fox is having an incredible start to the season and more people should be talking about it.
Murray is clearly being coached heavily to prioritize defense which has been super fun to watch. Not shooting flames any more but wildly active on the other side of the court.
Vikings were my first thought as well. The team looks surprisingly crisp for having no Kirk, no JJ, and a mediocre defense.
Counterpoint: the league is much better when most team have the potential to go nuclear every single night.
Spreading out the talent so that having three all-stars is an instant best-of-7 win makes the regular season and basically every series besides conference finals matter much less.
HOW THE FUCK DO YOU TRADE THIS GUY?
Because the whole was less than the sum of its parts and we got the third best center in the NBA in return?
Like, this isn't fantasy basketball, at the end of the day you need to put a product on the court, and the trade made the Kings a dramatically better team.
