How Memphis is tanking is straight up criminal. No way the basketball gods gonna bless them.
Do these teams like Memphis just pick up people off the streets to suit up and play? At least the Mavs have been playing their available players almost all season.
F the Grizzlies
How should the NBA change the TANKING rules?

Ive just accepted that we are going to finish 8th having 2 wins final week is brutal
Grizzlies just put out the worst lineup to ever touch an NBA court
I thought that was a big ass feather pen 3:32 turns out it’s just a cat😂😂😂
Cooper going Luka's way…. remember how it ends.
Fans who bought their tickets before hand should get some money back and teams should also lose tv money.
I really appreciate you guys. I just moved to North East Wisconsin and work nights. Y'all are really the only connection I still have to the team (other than random ESPN games). I listen to y'all's show every day on the way to work. Y'all have put out great content, especially considering the context of the organization. Hopefully, they will get a solid player this draft. I'm looking forward to next season and listening to a much more optimistic podcast.
WNBA+NBA baby: Candace Parker and Sheldon Williams
Sorry buddy but your team sucks to be a rivalry! Go Spurs go
Tbf grizzlies gotta tank for any decent players cuz no free agent is going to Memphis ever
I see wemby and ant being rivals in the future along with shai, coop I see him with a rivalry with kon, vj or and the boozer brother maybe darryn Peterson
No lie if Adam goes through the list of teams who didn't make his league look like a complete joke and doesn't reward those teams this draft it'll speak volumes but the has no balls at least Mavs actually kept every single game they played close or competitive to an extent not just full on tanking until the last week of NBA so silver better do some fixing for sure
@7:22 lol!
I think at this point in the draft discourse, unless we get a top 4 pick and draft one of the big 4, the Mavs are going to pick a guard. Someone of Acuff, Wagler, Flemings, Burries, Brown, or Philon. Whichever guard comes here will have the distinct advantage of playing off Cooper Flagg. That is an enormous advantage over anyone else in the lottery.
Flagg is going to be a top 5 player by year 3 and is going to be entering all nba territory next year. He is insane off ball. He is insane defensively. He has rapidly rapidly improved on ball as we have seen recently. He can do anything on the floor that is needed of the team. That is remarkably valuable. Nobody else in the lottery has a talent like him. Whichever guard ends up here is going to have it much easier playing next to cooper.
Much different than the Luka rebuild who you basically needed rim rollers and corner shooters and for people to buy into that which is incredibly difficult in this day and age as versatile as these guys are. Cooper is gonna be super important in the development of guard that ends up here.
Of course all that goes out the window if we jump to the top 4
Castle not guarding copper tonight was the problem.
