Gonna be crazy when the lakers are down in a close game and need a shooter.. so JJ subs himself in for Rui

 

[moe200069]

An absolute discount and steal for one of the best sixth men in the league

What a staggering upgrade for the Thunder Wow wow wow.

Giddey was unplayable and they flipped him for one of the better role players in the league

Paul George may be headed to the Magic I fear

And as much as I likes Carusso, he deserves to be on a winning team, not a team stuck in forever purgatory. Plus , he's over 30, misses a lot of games, and had 1 yr left. Aaaaand, we can't draft for crap. Might as well take a flyer on Giddey. Dont get it twisted though , our front office sucks.

Hopefully this means the Magic will task Ratsull off our hands

Lebron fans

Wow I thought Monk could get a lot more with another team. That’s a steal for the Kings

Let’s do crab dribble and push off next

Can't remember the exact podcast, I think it was Zach Lowe several years ago. Maybe the Utah Jazz? He mentioned there being some questionable assists. It was actually interesting league wide how home score keepers or whoever is involved in the system can juice player numbers. I'm sure it has gone on forever, but interesting to think about.

What he specifically said on that one was that assists were being added on plays where you really had to stretch the definition. Like 4 seconds after the guy passed it off and the scorer made a basketball move they were getting credited

Pablo Torre finds out had a whole show recently with one of the stat padders from back in the day

 

[elpablo21]

Salute to Wilt's scorekeeper for never snitching

 

[elpablo21]

Yikes

There's a much worse trade that happened

He definitely could have. Curious to know if the final two years are player options though. The NBA media rights deal is up in 2026 so the cap is going to expand again. If the final two years are player options then Monk could opt out when the media rights deal is up and he’d qualify for a supermax with Sacramento because he will then have been on the team for 4 years.

Moving Alex Caruso for Josh Giddey was the first step?

You know what though Giddey aint even that bad, purely basketball hes a decent rotation player and hes young so theres that objectively. But 10/10 times im taking Caruso over him anyday.
