Every season Cleveland keeps Donovan Mitchell on the roster further depreciates the 30+% of the cap they allocated to Evan Mobley. 1 of the most glaring examples of incongruence between a team’s two best players in the league, CLE MUST make a decision between them this offseason

Duncan Robinson instructed Paul Reed to slip the flare BEFORE the play DRob knows CLE wants to show 2 on Cade, so he ghosts the step-up screen and veers into Reed's screen CLE scrambles -> Mobley has to show -> Reed slips & it's a wide-open layup with Spida in weakside help

Fox’s struggles vs the Wolves was preceded by another guard whose efficacy is similarly dependent on their star big, Jamal Murray Near career-low rim frequencies in the RS led to subpar offensive process vs the best drop big ever Murray could grift/get up 3s, Fox is in trouble.

some quick thoughts on the Hawks’ defensive shift that powered their comeback NY only involved directly in 2 offensive actions after Kuminga became his primary matchup: Ram Spread PNR & Horns Snap JK’s physicality on both ends was absolutely massive

The gap between Podz’ perception & his IMPACT is the largest I’ve ever seen within a players’ own fanbase He’s consistently won his minutes by complementing Curry & positively impacting the possession battle, just to be met with constant unmerited vitriol by GSW fans!

Jalen Duren’s shortcomings have been ruthlessly exploited in the playoffs, creating a virtually unprecedented contract situation in this cap environment, as a potential All-NBA restricted free agent. DET *should* still retain him, but for how much?

a eulogy on the Trae Young era i don’t disagree with Onsi Saleh’s emphasis on versatility, both in terms of asset management and roster construction the focal point now shifts to Jalen Johnson, with the ‘26 draft becoming even more vital in deciding the course of this franchise

NBA teams run plays much more often than most people would expect. Here’s a look into the Hawks’ playbook + how to learn how to identify set plays Atlanta runs a set on > 60% of their halfcourt possessions and are ~5% more efficient when they run a set (0.97 HC PPP -> 1.02)

Results-oriented teams extend guys to contracts after outlier shooting years and move off of decision makers without letting their moves fully pan out (Process Sixers) Process-oriented teams remain competitive even without superior talent Process > results always.
