The suspense is killing me.

He's very high on Nash Walker.  Says his passing and vision are excellent and even compared him to TK.

Quote from: BCHoopster on February 05, 2026, 05:14:14 PMThink in 2027 he needs a big, other then Kneuppel who is a wing, I do not see one big man?? Yes, Davis is a power forward.

Could be that he's confident in Sheek, which has actual credence given his pedigree compared to the Caedin and Josh dart throws.

Or maybe Shaka realized how iffy his philosophy on centers has been post-Oso and is willing to plug transfers at that spot to be more sure?

That Zubac trade is huge (no pun intended) for Indy.  I expect them to be very formidable next year Hali back.

Richard Farr, chief market strategist and partner at Pivotus Partners, has issued a stark prediction for Bitcoin (BTC-USD), setting a price target of zero for the cryptocurrency.

"Our BTC price target is 0.0. That's not just for shock factor. It's where the math takes us," the strategist said, noting that Bitcoin (BTC-USD) has failed to function as a dollar hedge and instead operates as "a speculative instrument correlated to the Nasdaq."

Shams is such a fraud lol.
Quote from: The Sultan on February 05, 2026, 04:55:06 PMI think Bucks' fans are a little to hyper-sensitive on ESPN and Shams reporting on trade rumors. It's like they don't pay attention to what drives the needle.

I don't think he's a fraud.  And I don't think he's amazing either.  Cause either would mean he's got some informed read on the movement of players.

He's not a journalist and he's not reading the tea leaves and making predictions that he can rightly be mocked for. He's just an insider/mouthpiece for front offices/agents around the league.

Rumors/speculation gets clicks and also pushes the agenda of various players/teams around the league, so he puts those out there.  When it comes to trades and deals, stuff happens and changes a ton in real time.  If he was truly a journalist or in the business of getting hard scoops first, he'd wait until his info was great until he posted about stuff.  But he isn't and posting things that don't age well or contradict themselves over hours/days as situations develop are just part of the buzz and hype cycle he fuels.

It's annoying for fans of certain players and teams impact, most notably Giannis right now, but it's just the nature of the trade deadline drama rumor mill that is a key part of attention and ratings and I can't find it more aggravating than that
