I doubt it happens but imagine if Jrue Holiday bolts this offseason? All those picks and swaps out the window for 1 season of Holiday. Giannis trade demand wouldn't be far behind.
Looking back the Bucks really made some bad choices in team building. Letting Brogdon walk for nothing? Why not be more agressive in CP3 than Holiday given the cost and fit on the court? They really need to treat Giannis like a big man/ roll man with guards who can create. They really don't have that at all.
where I follow it closely and have definite rooting interests. I watch the NBA some but not that much (I grew up in the 90s a Knicks fan, but gave up on them a long time ago when JVG left--now, I am not a fan of anyone and just root for the Knicks and Nets since I live in Brooklyn to do well). For the people who follow it a lot, I just had a question, it seems to me that the dominant teams are not as good as they have been in say the last 10-15 years and upsets happen much more often. That the wins and losses which used to be more distributed to the top and bottom of the graph are now more concentrated in the middle. If I am right, which I am not saying that I am, is that a product of not having fans (or at least many fans) in the building? Or has the NBA just found "parity" recently.

No offense, but I think this is wrong. Since the 2012 season, a list of champions:
LeBron's teams: 4 times
Warriors: 3 times
Spurs once, Raptors once (in a season where LeBron was injured and the Warriors superstars got injured in the Finals)
In that span the Warriors made the Finals 5 straight years, and LeBron's team made the Finals seven (7) straight years.
This year is a little weird but there's a very good chance the Finals will be an LA team versus Brooklyn.
If you're talking about just this year, it's early, but the home-road splits are way different than usual. Partially due to fans, partially due to teams losing players to covid, partly due to a small(er) sample size.

would love holiday on the knicks perfect fit
Have dreamed of Holiday on the Knicks for a few years now. Perfect fit. Can shoot, good a penetrating and he's a Thibs type defender.
Knicks sold all the available tickets for the first two games
People in the front office view Randle as a long term piece and part of the youth
Because he's been in the league so long...I sometimes forget Randle is just 26. He's still a pup in this league. And he's been UFB this season.
He was on JJ redicks podcast, which is very good by the way, i think he was on yesterday..
He was tlaking about when he first came into the league, you forget he lost his rookie season and then his 2nd year there was no developing, it was all about Kobes final year..Hr basically lost 2 years of developing..
He also insinuated Lakers were never about developing their young players
I saw that Randle was on Redick's post. I plan on listening it on run tomorrow. Not surprised about Lakers not developing youngins during Kobe's swan song.
Incredible dunk, but he went 3 for 14 last night. I would take Wiseman, Ball, & a bunch of other 2020 dudes above Edwards right now. He's not even 20 so a lot of time for him to take it up another level.

Pent-up demand? - ( New Window )
Really going out on a limb there!

Haha. Oh I know.
Most likely he was smoking a blunt last night and saw tnt picked him as a reserve and thought that meant he was an all star
