Pascal only wants to play in Toronto. Bridges would require a haul, if he were available at all.
I don't know the story on OG, but seems like his price was probably ridiculous.
 
Tim Duncan also had a season of 80+ games and 40+ minutes per game.
82 games played at 40.6 mpg.

I'm just going to be really surprised if Wemby is able to have a long career. I hope I'm wrong. He's insanely fun to watch because dudes that tall don't do the things that he does.

Wemby will be as bulletproof as Stockton and Malone
 
Side note: Love how Scoot just picks players and puts them in random ass positions

At one point he had 3 players out of position

My favorite was Kuzma at the 2 lol

You are correct. But not in the way that you're thinking. Athlete's are seeing more wear and tear earlier in their careers because of playing one sport for 8-9 months a year.

https://healthcarenews.com/too-much-too-fast-too-soon-overuse-injuries-are-common-in-young-athletes/

"You’ve seen him — or her. The promising young pitcher with loads of raw talent and parents who see a college scholarship down the road. So, after playing on both a school team and a city league in the spring, the kid signs up for a traveling summer league. And then a fall league. Can’t slow down — gotta keep those skills up.
Until the inevitable elbow damage requires Tommy John surgery.
“Each year, we see younger and younger kids specializing in one sport, spending more than eight or nine months playing one sport, focusing on it year-round, five or six years in a row,” said Dr. Zachary Schepart, who specializes in pediatrics and sports medicine at RiverBend Medical Group.
Indeed, a 2015 survey in the American Journal of Sports Medicine found that 60{06cf2b9696b159f874511d23dbc893eb1ac83014175ed30550cfff22781411e5} of all Tommy John surgeries in the U.S. are for patients ages 15 to 19. “That’s amazing — or appalling,” Schepart said. “That’s a significant injury that results from repetitive use over time.”
By contrast, the former pitcher whose name became forever linked with the procedure — a then-groundbreaking surgical graft to repair a damaged elbow ligament — was 31 when he went under the knife. In response to the growing trend of Tommy John surgeries in teenagers, the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine launched the STOP (Sports Trauma and Overuse Prevention) Sports Injuries campaign in 2010.
The broad topic of overuse injuries, especially among young people, is one that Dr. Julio Martinez-Silvestrini, medical director of Baystate Rehabilitation Care, has been talking about for many years.
“Overuse injuries are related to training errors,” he told HCN. “One of the biggest problems we have is athletes specializing too early. It’s important for kids to participate in different types of sports, where each sport has different elements of strength, conditioning, aerobic capacity, coordination, explosive strength — all these things are different, so every sport is a little bit different.”

I say this as the father of a 15 year old who just threw a PR of 91 at a tournament last weekend...wtf does the disaster that is travel baseball have to do with a French basketball player?

The article isn't just about baseball. They use Tommy John surgery as an example.

Again, you are comparing a repetitive use sport like baseball with basketball. They are NOT comparable. You can play basketball every day if you're not injured. Even healthy pitchers can't throw every day. Go to MLBPitchSmart.com to educate yourself.

You use different muscles in different sports. Baseball, football, basketball, etc. and the constant wear and tear that kids are putting on their bodies is taking a toll. Basketball is really hard on the knees, just like baseball is hard on the arm. Kids didn’t used to play full on competitive ball year round.

Anyone want to give a synopsis? Too long and its bedtime (for this old guy at least).

  • Richman thinks Sharpe is likely to average over 20ppg, making him the 27th second year player since 2000 to do so
  • Richman thinks Grant will average 20ppg for the 2nd consecutive season, making him one of just five forwards to score over 20ppg in back to back seasons
  • Richman thinks Scoot will average over 8 assists per game, making him 5th rookie to do so since 2023
  • Richman thinks the best comp for Scoot is John Wall

Important distinction, the back to back 20 ppg for a forward is only for Portland.

Simons and Grant will 100% reap the benefits of Scoots style of play.

I think Shae will also.

Everyone can.
Nurkic briefly had a bromance with Justise Winslow during the 4-game win streak of 2022. They were on the same page as to how to move the ball between them to get a basket.
Scoot is the same way.
Any player who understands how to defeat the defense with ball and player movement will be rewarded by playing with Scoot. He's looking for those options on offense.

Again, you shouldn't opine on things about which you don't understand.

I love this attitude

O’Connor: If he’s not back, you’re thrown right in the driver’s seat.

Scoot: Exactly. And I’m with that. If he leaves, I’m going to just embrace that. I’m going to embrace being the point guard for the team. And that comes with practice. I don’t have my spot guaranteed; I know that. My goal is to get better every day at practice and get better game by game.

He's talkin' 'bout practice!
