why should the front offices be kept separate? why is it ok for billion dollar franchises to have nepotism all through their front offices but its an uproar it it trickles down to the roster?

Not saying it’s a good thing but front office is far different. You can’t score points in the office.

Thanasis

Thansis was drafted by the Knicks a year after Giannis. Not sure how that’s the same thing.

He’s being stashed on the Bucks bench to appease Giannis. That’s incredibly similar to the situation you’re painting.

Thanasis situation is bad too you’re right. But at least he was drafted on his own merits. Lebrons agent threatened the other GMs. And people like Stephen A have the audacity to say he’s “earned” that right. All so lame.

Maybe we should just rename this thread??

Maybe we should just rename this thread??

Or just shut it down.

I keep hearing this argument but who else has this situation applied to? And I’m talking sporting wise, not front office. The guys on the court/field should be there by merit not nepotism.

The Knicks signed and kept Chris Smith on the roster for a full season to keep JR Smith happy. LiAngelo Ball also would have been nowhere near the NBA if it weren't for LaMelo and Lonzo

Givony had him as the 55th best prospect.

Vecenie had him as the 72nd best prospect.

NBA.com had him one spot behind Newton.

You know better than these guys?

i think i'm done listening to givony. on the most recent Zach Lowe podcast he was GUSHING about Edey and Filipowski and i just can't abide.

For what it’s worth I just went on Rivals and clicked on Meleek Thomas. They have what they call “futurecast” for recruiting. Futurecast says 100% for the good guys. But it also says 70% for Pitt.

Wait, the 100% is from analyst and publishers. The 70% is from fans, which is meaningless. This is equivalent to a crystal ball. Andrew Barth is the analyst and it looks like he flipped from Pitt to UConn a few days ago.

I was curious why no Meleek news and read he’s going to visit Arkansas. Is this right?

 

[Huskyforlife]

Another day goes by without the Arkansas visit scheduled.

I think we are in really good shape.

Just for the record, Gordie Howe played with his son's Mark and Marty with the Houston Aeros of the WHA, and Hartford Whalers when they were in the NHL.

I so miss my Whalers. Greatest after goal song!

P

how could UCONN BE 100% then they say Pitt 70%. I am no math genius but clearly they suck at it more than I.

Best team song ever, it’s still my ring tone to this day

Hartford Athletic uses it for goals now. Unfortunately, they don't use it very often.
