I feel the need to say that even though I disagree, I respect this opinion. I think he, Ayo and Ball (who is only 2 years older than Ayo) are gonna make a nasty defensive trio for the Bulls in the future as Zach ages.

If the Bulls trade for Schroeder, they're definitely moving Coby for a PF. Kings want a first-rounder for Barnes, who knows if Portland pick is enough.

If you want to go look at last year's NBA thread, I loved Kuminga. Still do. He's shooting worse than Pat did last year and has worse advanced stats. It sounds like you hated the pick from the get go, so of course you're going to look at the negatives and not the positives. The lack of motor is wack though. You don't play defense like he did without a motor. Just cause he's not screaming like Joakim/Taj and timid on offense doesn't mean he doesn't have a motor.

Plus, to add to all the defensive stuff I mentioned, he were his shooting splits: .483/.391/.728. TS% of .562% Not amazing, but here were Zach's as a 19 year old: .422/.341/.842. TS% of .515 I don't expect Pat to turn into a Zach shooter (he's best player in the league if he does), that context is needed since he was playing a lot of SF last year.

God bless the internet.

No.

Williams as the youngest player in the league last year and had this game against the Nets while showing other flashes throughout the season. And in defensive metrics, he had 2.2 defensive win shares and a 0.81 DBPM while drawing the best players on the other team (LeBron, Giannis, etc.) as basically the only defensive player on the team besides Thad Young and, again, the youngest player in the league. Those aren't the end all be all, but Ayo has 0.8 (season isn't done) and -0.1 right now. Ayo' DBPM is 100% being dragged down by being the best defensive player at the moment surrounded by Zach, DeMar and Vuc, but the counter point is Pat was out there with Zach, Coby, and Lauri/Vuc. Ayo's defense is off the charts, so this should tell you what Pat was doing last year, on the charts. Then there's this: Pat doesn't stuff the sheet, but if AKME is holding onto him as tightly as they are, you should trust them.

I mean, I'd 100% take Gallo for not Vaughn or Crochet. But I'm not trading the guy projected to be the first baseman of the future (who can also contribute right now) in exchange for a guy you hope can bounce back out of a Rangers uniform.

We actually copyrighted Drain Duo™ and The Little Magician™ and make $10,000 annual profit on that alone.

.160/.303/.707 at Yankees Stadium, with that right field porch, does not inspire confidence.

The Sun-Times just got bought by WBEZ (Chicago Public Media), which is phenomenal for journalism in Chicago. The Athletic is top tier coverage.

We added Jose Abreu at your behest.

Thad not playing this game was like the salt in the wounds. I wish Lauri had just taken the Spurs deal.

Watch the Spurs run the pick and roll against the Bulls is painful

Aw damn. Tony requires cover letters.

Get rid of gloves!

66 years, from 1903 to 1969. Before that...it's messy. The Top record in the NL (formed in 1871) was champion. Then the American Association played them in a pseudo-World Series from 1884 to 1890. Two of those were ties. From 1894 to 1897 runner up played the first place. Again in 1900. In 1902, the closest thing to a championship was a football game between the Philadelphia A's (managed by Connie Mack) and the Philadelphia Phillies.

Still small samples, but: StatMuse is great: https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/giannis-stats-vs-jerami-grant-since-2020 Basically, I'm not giving up a pretty penny for Jerami Grant, but if I can get Barnes without giving up Coby or Pat (which I know may be tough), I do it.

I'm glad you said container vs. stopper that people always toss around. We need a dude that can keep them to MVP numbers instead of monstrous games.

Chuck was so upset and calling Zach a snub. I love it. It will still be great having both of them on the team. Funny thing is if DeMar was classified as a forward, Zach is a starter and DeMar is probably Durant's replacement in the starting five.

I thought he retired on the White Sox Talk podcast....last year?

Spoilers for Spider-Man NWH, but this is what I think of when I think of Hansen: Jokes aside, it sucks that he never pieced it together after that first season. He was so amazing, then...nothing.

Here's a Big Mac/Cheeseburger breakdown: Yes, they get pricier, but not much. Wages however, go WAY up. https://www.restaurantbusinessonline.com/financing/why-big-mac-costs-more-seattle-austin The other factor is franchisees are paying for real estate, thus raising costs in higher cost of living areas.

How's this...not illegal?
