Dealing with political trolls on hoop threads with the @velodus.bsky.social technique

The NBA trade market is not one giant market but a bunch of micro markets made up of the teams involved. Four 1st round picks for Bane may be an overpay for, say BKN, but it's probably not for ORL. This doesn't set some sort of market price for KD.

The infrastructure that makes up the public internet is held together with duct tape and grit.

C'mon @artbutmakeitsports.bsky.social what do you got for this one?

TJ McConnell's shot shouldn't work

Stuff I've heard that could be true or could be smoke or might mean something else, the best name on the trade market no one's talking about, and some draft stuff. hardwoodparoxysm.substack.com/p/nba-draftt...

ORL immediately shoots up my League Pass rankings

Feels like ORL is trading 3 1st rd picks and Anthony for Bane and then attaching a 1st to pick just to get out of the KCP business.

One thing I love about NBA trade season are the moves no one sees coming. Like Spidah to CLE. If I was a gambler I would bet KD going to a team that is not SAS, HOU, or MIA.

But how do you know the information you need if you don’t…

how the fuck is it possible to be this bad at drinking coffee

The Magic got better but now we know why they don’t make trades 😆

Lakers got one first for Luka Doncic & the Grizzlies are getting FOUR unprotected firsts AND a swap for *checks notes* Desmond Bane??

Desmond Bane shot 39.2% from three this season & made 164 threes in 69 games. An Orlando Magic player hasn't reached 160+ threes in a season since Terrence Ross in 2019-20.

The Magic's strategy here is obvious: fuck up the trade market for the entire rest of the league before the summer even starts

I've never struggled watching an NBA star like I do SGA. He's this perfect juxtaposition of gorgeous skill and gross grifting/rule bending. Perfectly encapsulated by the 4Q shot that put OKC up. Athleticism and skill getting to his spot combined with off-arm club and questionable gather step.
