i think things got pretty bleak there in the final few months of the season and only seem worse now that the cavs and hawks are a clear tier above them on paper & lonzo still can't even run w/o pain. if they don't make the playoffs or only get out of the play in before getting annihilated they're gonna be in that deathly middle of not being anywhere near contention or a top 3 pick. and if the magic start to do well it's gonna be even worse. i feel like their GM could low key be out of a job in 2 years or less

8 mavs - front office has been a wreck, christian wood is talented but probably a locker room cancer, fuck jason kidd who is bad vibes at all times, higher expectations after sneaking into the 3rd round could get toxic fast
lets check in on the mavs media day
Christian Wood will be primarily a sixth man for the Mavs, Jason Kidd says. “I don’t need him to be ‘The Microwave.’ I just need him to be C. Wood.”— Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) September 26, 2022

bulls had that stretch where derozan was an mvp candidate for like 2.5 weeks and it masked a lot of slippage cos he was hitting wild game winners.

biggest concern is prob theyre both getting a lil old
― lag∞n, Monday, 26 September 2022 21:16 (one year ago) link
yeah but poole ascension is breathing new life. and hopefully one or two of moody/kuminga/wiseman will take a leap this year. the potential drama lies in draymond, poole and wiggins contracts/extensions and not being able to pay everyone what theyre worth
― Spottie, Monday, 26 September 2022 21:19 (one year ago) link
bucks still pretty squarely in their primes. jrue and middleton nearing the back end of their primes tho yeah.
― Spottie, Monday, 26 September 2022 21:20 (one year ago) link
yeah neither team is genuinely old theyre just in that zone where theres a somewhat greater chance of injury or defensive slippage, dubs young guys are a wildcard for sure, the possibility of wiggins turning back into a pumpkin maybe too idk, but basically youre left to speculation trying to come up with problems for either team
― lag∞n, Monday, 26 September 2022 21:29 (one year ago) link
thinking about it i guess if i had a major concern for the dubs it would be draymond, he looeds genuinely awful at times last year hes a guy who everyone kinda thought his game wouldnt age well and hes got the contract situation
― lag∞n, Monday, 26 September 2022 21:35 (one year ago) link
maybe its time, to trade him to charlotte
draymond's deal with tnt means tha billionaires need him around for zee prestige and future control of messaging

this is not the man you want doing pr lol

draymonds back injury last year turned out to be really serious and he admitted he thought he might be done for the season or worse. pretty lucky they got him back. hes still the most impactful defender in the league when hes locked in. i think him looking awful was a little overstated, he still looked like a top ~15 impact player at other times. but the team isnt as offensively stacked as it was so his offensive limitations stand out a little more now. just looked it up and looney is one year younger than giannis i swear he seems older than curry and curry is like 8 years older
