Philly has a Jared McCain problem Daryl Morey could be correct about McCain having no future with the Sixers, leading to his trade. The problem is everything else the team did betrays the real motive here.

A chart comparing the DARKO Daily Plus-Minus progressions of Anthony Edwards and Dwyane Wade at different ages.

Though, now that you mention it ... pretty surprising!

Whoa, whoa, whoa: nobody said Ant "passed" Wade. It was a just stylistic point of comparison for the shift in Ant's game — going from a relentless downhill driver without a consistent long-range jumper to suddenly knocking down those Js at an elite rate.

AnthonyEdwards dazzles with the dribble, drills a stepback three, blows child's mind

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

Absolutely. And I'm glad I caught him scoring like 10 straight on increasingly wilder jumpers tonight, because "he's not Wemby or Jokic" shouldn't inure me to just how fuckin' cold and special what he *is* is

It's like if D-Wade suddenly shot like KD.

It's really incredible how good Ant's become. Like, out of the box, the whole thing was explosion, how easy he got off the floor as he drove to the basket. And now he shoots like 47% on long 2s and 40% from 3 on like nine attempts a game ... and he still has the explosion.

Man if there are problems in the union about this stuff they have to be addressed, yeah, the existence of the letter itself is fine, but whoever leaked this during active bargaining has some explaining to do.

Agreed! More Brunson as the screener for KAT.

as always, I appreciate your time and consideration on this important scientific matter

either BTTBA?

KAT has been playing really wonderful basketball lately. Playing super hard. Smart plays. Some of his best defense of the season, especially against San Antonio. Great, clutch shot making. Doing it all.

Kind of love KAT and Brunson turning the inability to get the ball to Brunson a handoff into just inverting it, with Brunson setting the screen, KAT handling and stepping into a pull-up J.

When Harden sees Ausar coming over to double late in the clock and fires it off his foot, triggering a kick-ball and a reset of the shot clock to 14:

This fourth quarter has been the Pistons testing the Cavs' chin and heart. Extended the defense, sitting down, everything contested, nothing conceded. Really fun playoff-style exam.

unless I am not a nice coach, in which case: hit the bricks, me

According to @stathead.com, the only player 6-foot-1 or shorter with a higher total rebound rate than Craig Porter Jr. has put up this season is Rajon Rondo: www.sports-reference.com/stathead/tin...

Congratulations, as always, to a Me Variant sports.yahoo.com/articles/dan...

Craig Porter Jr., all 6-foot-1 of him, has five offensive rebounds in 22 minutes off the Cavs bench. Small guards who just fly around like maniacs are an aesthetic joy.

That was a hell of a finish by Dennis Schröder — good hard baseline drive, then putting English on the ball on the near side of the rim to avoid the shot-blocker Isaiah Stewart. Really strong minutes from Schröder so far tonight.

Hahahaha, when he figures it out, tell him to let me know

Let's get frank on the tank: How can teams improve if roster construction tools keep getting limited? With the power of free agency, the trade market and possibly the draft becoming more limited for franchises, things could get bleak for non-destination teams.

For decades, three roster construction tools have dominated the NBA.

- The draft

- Free agency

- Trading

With the NBA possibility diminishing the effects of the draft, and with free agency essentially dead, what exactly are teams to do?
