re: Austin Rivers on NFL being easier than the NBA

[quote]The NFL has a much, much smaller population who could project as a candidate for the NBA[/quote]
I do think about a guy like Joe Alt. He was just measured at almost 6'10. He is a good athlete and played TE before moving to OT. If he would have trained at basketball, could he have played at...

If they used a plan like the pathway they use to develop foreign prospects, I believe they could find 30+ guys in the NBA with the talent to make a NFL roster. But it would take a long time to acclimate them to a position and build their bodies up for contact. There is so much more money in the NBA,...

This is where the discussion went off the rails. There is no way that McCollum isn't a starter for us next season. If he was pushed out, he would demand a trade. He has started every game he has played for the past 10 seasons. He's not going to come off the bench for a fring playoff team. [

This would just never happen. McCollum is not going to come off the bench. There isn't a coach in the league that would do that. He's still a top 3 player on our squad and a captain. Players like him do not suddenly go to the...

First, I don't believe that stat that you keep repeating. Even if it were true, circumstances stances matter. He only started 23 games this season. He only scored over 20 points 4 times ...

I hope this isn't the plan. We would take a large step back if that was the case. I'm the biggest Ingram hater on the board. But he is better than Murphy. So that would be a loss. A bigger problem though is we wou...

[quote]Harris is an excellent defender and rebounder, and he can hit an open 3.[/quote]
He had 0 points last night in 29 minutes in a close out game. He let a 6'5 guard pull down 14 rebounds while he had 4. He's done. You can find a 2nd rounder on a minimum that can give you more than him. He can...

God no. That dude is poo. I wouldn't want to give him any kind of new deal.
If we are dealing with the Sixers, I want Maxey. We can throw them a massive package, plus Ingram. I'm sure they won't go for it. But that's the kind of big gam...

I believe the biggest take away from the playoffs so far is that the bench does not really matter that much. A team needs a strong starting 5, with maybe a solid 6th man.
We have been so focused on building depth and stockpiling talent, that we allow our starting unit to be mid at best. We need ...
re: NFL star Tyreek Hill hints he has TEN kids
Posted by brmark70816 on 5/3/24 at 5:46 am
Child support should be capped at something like 50k a year. It doesn't take more than that to raise a child. Let the father volunteer for extra expenses, like private school or lessons.
So it wouldn't be that big of a deal if he'd have to spend 350k a year on kids that don't live with him. I ju...

I am sure Murphy gets more. I just wouldn't give it to him. I don't think he's earned it or will be worth it in the future. All these scenarios include diminishing or benching Jones. I'm not for that.

PG- need a massive upgrade and Alvarado

I am conflicted on this. I couldn't rationalizing giving Murphy 25M+, when Jones is getting 13M. That doesn't make sense. Jones is better and more proven. Murphy might have a higher ceiling (mi...
