Ooof. That’s ugly.
If they randomly picked someone from the NT basketball thread to be the team’s GM, it’s hard to imagine they would have done worse - even some of the people I have on ignore.

In a vacuum, Kangz have the roster that’s “ideal” for -name redacted-. Plenty of shooters spread around, a theoretical stretch big in Bagley who can also protect the rim on defense. He’d have the “space” he wants. It makes sense but the biggest factor is him actually caring to improve

Kings just need to make a for the sake of making a move

Ben Simmons makes the all star team, if he goes West?

at the same level of output as before? No. Jig is up on him

Haliburton pick made sense because he slid and was BPA, and can also play off ball.
Picking a 6ft 23 year old guard in this draft, when there was a skilled big on the board in Sengun, and multiple big wings like Moody/Murphy/Johnson/etc still available was the head scratcher.

yeah no problem with the Haliburton pick.

If he tries, maybe. Same numbers as his career AVG, no

And Mitchell very well could end up being a good player, even though I wasn't particularly high on him. I'm just not exactly sure how/why you draft him when you already have a young PG on a max contract, there is good talent still on the board and you have other very obvious needs. Just reeks of them wanting to make a move of some sort.

For the Kings, a Fox /Ben swap is simply to shake **** up cuz either player probly gon lead to the same results in Sac, But Ben is the best they can get and try something different see what happens…Worst case they still picking in the lotto as usual and still have 2 other guards they drafted to develop
The Kings rarely have a chance to bring an “all star” or a player with some convo round him in to sell to the fans/media

I kinda like a Ben/ Haliburton better than whatever the Sixers have because Hali can run the half court offence and I feel like their skillsets would compliment each other.

Haliburton is a perfect fit on every single roster/with every single player in the league
Should’ve gone quite a bit higher than he did

Nah I think they sticking to their guns on this. They putting emphasis on it.
Once dudes see it's not getting called they'll stop doing the foolery.

Hope they enforce it. I agree with antidope that defenders should pay for biting on pump fakes but not in the form of the shooter jumping into him
- 32,333

Defender should lose their game check if they bite on Embiid pump fake more than 2 times a game

Now they just need to do away with charges and I'll be content

I’ve never seen a pre season point of emphasis for NBA officiating last more than a month, but maybe it’ll be different this time since so many ppl complain bout it
- 82,610

We've seen many times where a defender won't even bite and the shooter still jumps on him and gets his free throws. Then we have to hear a Mike Breen say "well he got in the shooters way..."

Agreed. When they were trying to force the delay of game for touching the ball after a made basket. Called it all preseason several years ago. Once the season started, haven’t seen it called you in several years.
