Wonderkid Factory | Part 1 | Turning Milk Into Cheese
A brand new #FM24 story kicks off today as we launch our 2nd #WonderkidFactory adventure. This time we're heading to the Netherlands to take control of the potential-ridden squad at #AZAlkmaar. We meet the squad and explain the challenge. Read here:
Having completed my Football Manager 2024 Pentagon Pursuit adventure far quicker than anticipated, I struggled for a while to find a new save that would bring us something a little bit different. So I went back to my own 24 Teams to Manage on FM24 guide (shameless plug) and took my own medicine to select an exciting new challenge. Inspired by our Wonderkid Factory adventure with Envigado FC on…

Buchsicherungssituation [2/3]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Buchsicherungstore sind keine Versorgungsschächte. Aber sie sind entscheidend. Beiden ist zwar gemeinsam, dass sie den Verkehr von Menschen und Gütern regeln: In den Versorgungsschächten fahren Menschen rauf und runter, durch die Buchsicherungstore strömen Menschen ins Gebäude hinein und wieder heraus, ab und zu auch Bücher. Doch die Versorgungsschächte sind – anders als die Buchsicherungstore – der Schauplatz numinoser Verwandlungen. Sie führen in die Vertikale – näher zu Gott, näher zur Hölle. Deshalb sind die Versorgungsschächte der Ruhr-Uni dekoriert wie die Bundeslade. Niederländische Bildhauer, in ihren Gründungstagen von der Universität beauftragt, ummantelten die Schächte mit Betonreliefs. Die Buchsicherungstore wirken dagegen maximal kunstlos, außerdem minimalinvasiv: Sie steuern den Verkehr der Bücher, berühren den Verkehr der Menschen aber nicht. Die Menschen wissen, dass von den Buchsicherungstoren nichts zu befürchten ist. Jedenfalls solange sie sich nicht unterstehen, ein gesichertes Buch hinauszutragen. Die Existenz der Buchsicherungstore ist im Allgemeinen schwach, sie ist hintergründig. Bibliotheksnutzer haben diese Existenz internalisiert. Da ist nur dieses kleine Zucken im Kopf, die vorauseilende Scham, die über die Gesichter der Buchausleiher huscht, wenn sie die Buchsicherungstore passieren, in der Befürchtung vom Radiofrequenzscanner dieses eine Mal betrogen worden zu sein. Man könnte glauben, an den Buchsicherungstoren werde die Unterscheidung zwischen der Freude, gerade noch mit einem Verbrechen davongekommen zu sein, und der Freude, gar kein Verbrechen begangen zu haben, hinfällig. Insofern entscheidet sich alles an den Buchsicherungstoren.

Fok jullie
Angela Merkel zei het in oktober 2010, David Cameron een paar maanden later, Nicolas Sarkozy riep het in 2011 en Maxime Verhagen sloot zich bij hen aan : de multiculturele samenleving is mislukt. Vanaf 2010 tot aan de dag van vandaag worden we dagelijks geconfronteerd met de ellende die deze samenleving oplevert. Dag in dag uit. Het houdt maar niet op. Wat is er eigenlijk veranderd sinds 2010 ? Niets. Het is alleen maar erger geworden. Een beknopte opsomming. Aanslagen in Toulouse, London, Brussel, Parijs, Kopenhagen, Arras, wederom Parijs, nogmaals Brussel, Istanbul en Nice. Het aantal aanrandingen en verkrachtingen stegen explosief. Keulen, Hamburg en Stockholm staan een ieder nog helder op het netvlies. In Zweden zijn verkrachtingen dagelijkse kost. Herinneren jullie het jarenlang onder de pet houden van het georganiseerde misbruik in Londen, Rochdale, Rotherham, Telford, Preston, Burnley, Bradford, Leeds, Slough, Oxford, Bournemouth, Derbyshire, Newcastle, Birmingham, Norwich, High Wickham, Leicester, Dewsbury, Middlesbrough, Bristol, Peterborough en Halifax nog ? Bijna alle verdachten zijn moslim. Ruim 95%. De Audi bende, de Mocro maffia, haatimams, DENK, anti-Zwarte Pieten clubjes, herstelbetalingsactivisten, We are here, homohaat, jodenhaat. Dan heb ik het nog niet eens over de epidemie uitbraak van verwarde mannen. In de volksmond noemen we dat terroristen, maar in Allochtonië aan de Noordzee krijgen die lieverdjes het stempeltje verward. Een Syrisch schatje die de ruiten van een Israëlisch restaurant inslaat is verward, een Syrische lieverd die 3 mensen in Den Haag neersteekt en de strot doorsnijdt is verward en een Syrische knuffelbeer die een vrouw in Breda doodsteekt is verward. Wat maakt het allemaal uit. Gooi het maar in mijn pet. Als je dagelijks het nieuws volgt kan je maar tot één conclusie komen en dat is dat de multiculturele samenleving de grootste mislukking aller tijden is. Het was niks, het is niks en het zal nooit iets worden. Voor mensen die dat niet zien of die dat ontkennen heb ik geen greintje respect. Nul komma nul. Daar spuug ik op. Daarom zeg ik fok jullie tegen

Every NBA team’s entire offseason, explained with a single emoji
Tumblr media
How do you feel about your favorite team’s offseason? Here’s how we felt.
NBA Summer Grades are here, and this year, we did things a little differently. Thirty teams ventured into the offseason with their sights set on improving immediately or incrementally through the draft, free agency, or trade. Not every team accomplished that goal.
So we broke these teams up into three groups according to how they saw themselves entering the offseason: as contenders, as teams that needed a bump, or as teams building toward the future. Then we judged each of their summers — with emojis.
So the emoji for, say, the Oklahoma City Thunder might be similar to the emoji for, say, the Phoenix Suns, even though they’re in two opposite NBA stratospheres.
Either way, consider this your comprehensive guide to this NBA off-season. Have fun with it and let us know what emoji you’d give for your favorite team’s offseason.
Building for the future
Atlanta Hawks
Tumblr media
IN:
Trae Young (No. 5)
Kevin Huerter (No. 19)
Omari Spellman (No. 30)
Jeremy Lin (trade, Nets)
Alex Len (2 yrs/$8.5M)
Justin Anderson (trade, 76ers)
Carmelo Anthony for like a day
2019 1st-round pick via Dallas (top-5 protected).
Head coach Lloyd Pierce.
KEPT
A long rebuilding process.
OUT
Head coach Mike Budenholzer (Bucks)
Dennis Schroder (trade)
Mike Muscala (trade)
Carmelo Anthony’s Contract
Luka Doncic Mania
Hawks fans are gonna have to be patient, because this team isn’t going to be competing for anything worthwhile until Bitcoin’s worth $100,000. Atlanta wants to be the next Golden State, and it’s banking on Trae Young as its Steph Curry. Ultimately, the Hawks’ summer rests on Young’s development. The Hawks traded Luka Doncic for him. They need to mold him into a star.
Los Angeles Clippers
Tumblr media
IN
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (No. 11)
Jerome Robinson (No. 13)
Marcin Gortat (trade, Wizards)
Luc Mbah a Moute (1 yr/$4.2M)
Mike Scott (1 yr/$4.2M)
Healthy Patrick Beverley and Danilo Gallinari.
KEPT
Avery Bradley (2 yrs/$25M)
Montrezl Harrell (2 yrs/$12M).
OUT
Austin Rivers (trade)
DeAndre Jordan (Mavs)
C.J. Williams
Sam Dekker (trade)
The last vestiges of Lob City
The last remaining player of the Lob City era Clippers is Wesley Johnson. The team blew it up without actually blowing it up.
But don’t forget the Clippers ran into their fair share of injuries last season (Patrick Beverley, Avery Bradley, Danilo Gallinari, and Milos Teodosic), traded Blake Griffin in the middle of the season, and still finished 42-40. This is still a team that should make some noise in the West, and while they do so, they’ll develop SGA into their point guard of the future.
That’s a perfect environment to nurture a young player. Just ask Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.
Orlando Magic
Tumblr media
IN
Coach Steve Clifford
Mo Bamba (No. 6)
Melvin Frazier (No. 35)
Timofey Mozgov (trade, Hornets)
Jerian Grant (trade, Bulls)
KEPT:
Aaron Gordon (4 yrs/$80M)
OUT
Coach Frank Vogel
Bismack Biyombo (trade, Hornets)
Mario Hezonja
Shelvin Mack
2019 + 2020 2nd-round picks
Bamba, Gordon, and Jonathan Isaac make for one lanky, athletic frontcourt, and Steve Clifford should be able to maximize their length on the defensive end. But two of those three players are still projects, and it’s hard to see how they can all play together. Worse, the rest of Orlando’s roster leaves a whole lot to be desired.
Let’s check back in in three long years.
Brooklyn Nets
Tumblr media
IN
Ed Davis (1 yr/$4.4M)
Shabazz Napier (2 yrs/minimum)
Kenneth Faried (trade, Nuggets)
Jared Dudley (trade, Suns)
Treveon Graham (minimum)
Dzanan Musa (No. 29)
Rodions Kurucs (No. 40)
Dwight Howard for like 12 minutes
2019 cap space
KEPT:
Joe Harris (2 yrs/$16M)
OUT
Jeremy Lin (trade, Hawks)
Dwight Howard (buyout)
Timofey Mozgov (trade, Hornets)
Darrell Arthur (trade, Suns)
Nik Stauskas
Dante Cunningham
Isaiah Whitehead
The ripple effects of that horrible Celtics trade.
The Nets beautifully exchanged cap space for future draft assets, positioning Brooklyn for about $50 million in room next summer. Their draft picks are young, smart system fits, and their acquisitions in free agency fill the team’s biggest needs: rim protection and back court depth. And here’s the kicker: they’ll still have space to add a max free agent next summer if they cut into that space.
Phoenix Suns
Tumblr media
IN
Coach Igor Kokoskov
DeAndre Ayton (No. 1)
Mikal Bridges (No. 10)
Elie Okobo (No. 39)
George King (No. 57)
Richaun Holmes (trade, 76ers)
Trevor Ariza (1yr/$15M)
Darrell Arthur (trade, Nets)
KEPT
Devin Booker (5 yrs/$158M)
OUT
Jared Dudley (trade, Nets)
Alex Len
Elfrid Payton
Tyler Ulis
Interim Coach Jay Triano
The Suns did a few smart things this summer, mainly their long-term extension for Booker and bringing in a veteran contributor in Ariza. Phoenix isn’t a playoff team in this tough Western Conference, but it looks as if it’s on the right path.
Dallas Mavericks
Tumblr media
IN
Luka Doncic (No. 3)
Jalen Brunson (No. 33)
DeAndre Jordan (1 yr/$24M).
A super fun backcourt
KEPT
Dirk Nowitzki (lifetime contract)
Salah Mejri (minimum).
OUT
Nerlens Noel
Seth Curry
Yogi Ferrell
2019 No. 1 pick (top-5 protected)
Doug McDermott
DeAndre Jordan emoji jokes.
The Mavericks somehow traded up for what could be the best player in the draft, got a second-round steal in Brunson, then signed Jordan after he went back on his word and re-signed with the Clippers years ago. Depending on how quickly Doncic hits the ground running, Dallas just got really interesting, especially if Dennis Smith Jr. builds on a solid rookie season.
New York Knicks
Tumblr media
IN
Coach David Fizdale
Kevin Knox (No. 9)
Mitchell Robinson (No. 36)
Mario Hezonja (1 yr/$8.6M)
Noah Vonleh (minimum)
Kadeem Allen
Dreams of a big 2019 free agency splash.
KEPT
Luke Kornet
A Christmas game, somehow
James Dolan (for eternity)
OUT:
Coach Jeff Hornacek
Kyle O’Quinn
Michael Beasley
Kristaps Porzingis’ ACL
Knox and Robinson were studs in summer league, and Hezonja makes this Knicks roster more interesting. This team might not be competitive this year, especially if Kristaps Porzingis sits the entire season after an ACL injury. But New York is finally trending in the right direction again, and Fizdale is a perfect choice to lead this team.
Sacramento Kings
Tumblr media
IN:
Nemanja Bjelica (3 yrs/$20.4M)
Marvin Bagley III (No. 2)
Ben McLemore (again, we know)
Deyonta Davis (trade)
Memphis’ 2021 2nd-round pick
Yogi Ferrell (2 yrs/$5.6M).
KEPT
Same ol’ Kings jokes.
OUT
Garrett Temple
Vince Carter.
Bagley at No. 2 was the most puzzling pick of the draft, rivaled only by the Hawks trading down for Trae Young. Now, much like the Hawks, that move defines the Kings’ offseason, because trading for a player they already let walk (Ben McLemore) didn’t help Sacramento much at all. But hey, at least Bjelica stretches the floor, right?
Chicago Bulls
Tumblr media
IN
Jabari Parker (2 yrs/$40M)
Wendell Carter Jr. (No. 7)
Chandler Hutchinson (No. 22),
KEPT
Zach LaVine (4 yrs/$80M)
Some 2019 cap space
OUT
Jerian Grant (trade, Magic)
Noah Vonleh
Paul Zipser
Sean Kilpatrick
Wing defense.
The Bulls took what they were given, and they were given the Summer League standout, Wendell Carter Jr. Defense might not be in their vocabulary — it damn sure isn’t in Jabari Parker’s — but this summer made the Bulls fun again. For a big market team that’s been hot trash for a while, that’s more than you can ask for.
Teams that entered the summer in need of help
Indiana Pacers
Tumblr media
IN
Tyreke Evans (1 yr/$12M)
Doug McDermott (3 yrs/$22M)
Kyle O’Quinn (1 yr/$4.4M)
Aaron Holiday (No. 23)
Expectations
KEPT
Thaddeus Young (opted in)
Bojan Bogdanovic (guaranteed)
OUT
Al Jefferson
Glenn Robinson III
Lance Stephenson
The surprise factor.
What would you get a young team that likes to run and shoot 3s for Christmas? How about more playmakers and more three-point shooters? Indiana calmly leveled up this summer, deepening a roster that took LeBron James to Game 7 last season.
The best part? They kept cap flexibility to add a near-max player next summer. Watch out for these guys.
Denver Nuggets
Tumblr media
IN
Isaiah Thomas (1 year/minimum)
Michael Porter Jr. (No. 14).
Luxury tax freedom.
A healthy Paul Millsap (fingers crossed).
KEPT
Nikola Jokic (5 yrs/$147M)
Will Barton (4 yrs/$50M).
OUT
Wilson Chandler (trade, 76ers)
Kenneth Faried (trade, Nets)
Darrell Arthur (trade, Nets)
2019 1st-round pick (top-12 protected, trade: Nets).
Denver saved about $93 million in salary and luxury tax by shedding Chandler, Faried, and Arthur this summer. They re-signed both Barton and Jokic, then got a motivated Isaiah Thomas at the vet’s minimum. This was a beautiful summer for the Nuggets, even if Porter Jr. doesn’t play.
Now, it’s time for Mile High to make the playoffs. It’s unacceptable for them to fall short again.
Milwaukee Bucks
Tumblr media
IN
Brook Lopez (1yr/$3.4M)
Ersan Ilyasova (3 yrs/$21M)
Donte Divincenzo (No. 17)
Coach Mike Budenholzer
KEPT
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s enthusiasm.
Shabazz Muhammad (minimum)
OUT
Jabari Parker
The Bucks landed the darling of the NCAA Tournament, then addressed one of their bigger needs by adding a legitimate, veteran two-way center — at a massive discount, too. Considering the questions surrounding their coach in the past, Mike Budenholzer could be a massive upgrade as well. It’s time the deer starts giving the league a reason to fear.
That better happen this year, too, with Eric Bledsoe and Khris Middleton up for new deals after next summer.
Tumblr media
Minnesota Timberwolves
IN
Anthony Tolliver (1yr/$5M)
Josh Okogie (No. 20)
Keita Bates-Diop (No. 48)
Jimmy Butler trade rumors.
KEPT
Derrick Rose (minimum)
Andrew Wiggins angst
ICE ICE ICE!
OUT
Jamal Crawford
Nemanja Bjelica.
Like Miami, Minnesota didn’t have any cap space to sign free agents, and Crawford leaving — though after a poor season — didn’t help. Okogie is a 3-and-D player who should contribute in spots, but the Timberwolves didn’t move the needle this summer. Their improvements have to come from within. (I’m looking at you two, Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns).
Otherwise, Jimmy Butler’s time here might end soon.
New Orleans Pelicans
Tumblr media
IN
Julius Randle (2yrs/$18M)
Elfrid Payton (1 yr/$2.7M)
Jahlil Okafor (minimum)
Tony Carr (No. 51).
KEPT
Ian Clark (minimum)
OUT
DeMarcus Cousins
The New Twin Towers dream
Rajon Rondo
Rivals trying to poach Anthony Davis (for now)
Losing Boogie stung. Losing Rondo to the Lakers was even worse. Adding Randle should be an interesting frontcourt fit alongside Anthony Davis and Nikola Mirotic.
But if this Pelicans team doesn’t make the playoffs this year — and there’s a good chance they don’t — Davis’ 2021 free agency becomes a whole lot scarier. Was passing on Cousins worth that risk?
Charlotte Hornets
Tumblr media
IN
Tony Parker (2 yrs/$10M)
Miles Bridges (No. 12)
Bismack Biyombo (trade, Magic)
Coach James Borrego
Kemba Walker trade rumors.
OUT
Dwight Howard (trade, Nets)
Timofey Mozgov (trade, Magic)
Michael Carter-Williams
Coach Steve Clifford
The Hornets traded one year and $23.9 million of Dwight Howard for two years and $34 million of Bismack Biyombo. That should work, right? The highlight of Charlotte’s summer was landing a Gregg Popovich disciple as their new head coach, but this team is in limbo until they clear house. What’s next for Kemba Walker, who is in the final year of his contract?
Tumblr media
Detroit Pistons
IN
2018 Coach of the Year Dwane Casey
Glenn Robinson III (2 yrs/$8.3M)
Zaza Pachulia (minimum)
Jose Calderon (minimum)
Bruce Brown (No. 42)
Full Season Blake Griffin
KEPT
Pressure to win
OUT
Coach Stan Van Gundy (and his mustache)
This delightful picture
Anthony Tolliver
Eric Moreland
The Pistons have been real sad since they made the playoffs three years ago, and Dwane Casey is their biggest offseason acquisition. Can he motivate these guys better than Stan Van Gundy did, or will we see more iso-ball in Casey’s next act?
Memphis Grizzlies
Tumblr media
IN
Kyle Anderson (4 yrs/$37M)
Jaren Jackson Jr. (No. 4)
Jevon Carter (No. 32)
Omri Casspi (minimum)
Garrett Temple (trade, Kings)
Healthy Mike Conley
Healthy Marc Gasol
KEPT
J.B. Bickerstaff to coach the team
OUT
Ben McLemore (trade, Kings)
Deyonta Davis (trade, Kings)
Tyreke Evans
2021 2nd-round pick
Tanking
The Grizzlies were a straight-up dumpster fire last year due to injuries to Mike Conley and Marc Gasol, but don’t forget this was a perennial Western Conference contender for almost a decade. The Grit-n-Grind era is over, but don’t think Memphis is here to tank. They’re here to win, and their moves this summer should help them do that.
If Conley and Gasol stayed healthy, Memphis should be right back in the mix, even in the deep West.
Tumblr media
Washington Wizards
IN
Dwight Howard (2 yrs/$11M)
Austin Rivers (trade, Clippers)
Jeff Green (minimum)
Troy Brown (No. 15)
Thomas Bryant.
KEPT
Locker room angst, probably
OUT
Marcin Gortat (trade, Clippers)
Mike Scott
This summer will be remembered in one of two ways. Either landing Dwight Howard was the move that gave the Wizards some legitimacy, or it’s the move that spelled their doom. Either way, Washington needed to shake things up. This effectively did just that without moving a core piece.
Utah Jazz
Tumblr media
IN
Grayson Allen (No. 21).
Expectations.
A Christmas appearance.
KEPT
Derrick Favors (2yrs/$36M)
Dante Exum (3yrs/$33M)
Raul Neto (2yrs/$4.4M)
OUT
Jonas Jerebko.
Low expectations
Donovan Mitchell was excited about drafting Allen, and the rookie out of Duke should help the Jazz claw deeper into the playoffs. This team, though, probably did not improve enough to make it out of the second round. In fact, with the Lakers and Nuggets more in the mix for the playoffs this season, Utah may find itself clinging to a lower seed. The Jazz are hoping continuity is the biggest form of improvement.
Portland Trail Blazers
Tumblr media
IN
Seth Curry (2 yrs/$5.6M)
Nik Stauskas (minimum)
Anfernee Simons (No. 24)
Gary Trent Jr. (No. 38)
Damian Lillard trade rumors (OK OK, not just yet)
KEPT
Jusuf Nurkic (4yrs/$48M)
OUT
Ed Davis
Shabazz Napier
Kevin Durant podcast appearances
The Trail Blazers will go as far as Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum can carry them, and Dame and C.J. carried them to a first-round sweep by the New Orleans Pelicans. That was a reality check, and realistically, Portland didn’t do too much this summer. Anfernee Simons gives hope to the future and Seth Curry was a decent buy-low get, but the Trail Blazers seem stuck in basketball limbo and it would take a huge shake-up to get them out.
Miami Heat
Tumblr media
IN
Uhhh, a healthy Dion Waiters?
KEPT
Derrick Jones Jr.
Wayne Ellington (1 yr/$6.2M).
OUT
Nobody!
TBD
Dwyane Wade (may retire)
The Heat were handicapped by the contracts they handed out in the past (hi, Tyler Johnson), so they really couldn’t do much this summer. They will get Dion Waiters back from injury, though.
What’s up with D-Wade?
The Contenders
Boston Celtics
Tumblr media
IN
Robert Williams (draft)
Brad Wanamaker (minimum)
Healthy Kyrie Irving
Healthy Gordon Hayward.
KEPT
Marcus Smart (4 yrs/$52M)
Aron Baynes (2 yrs/$11M).
OUT
The ghost of LeBron James.
The Celtics didn’t need to do anything except keep the gang together and get healthy this summer. They did just that, and along the way, they stumbled into a center that fell way down the draft board. The rich keep getting richer.
Los Angeles Lakers
Tumblr media
IN
LEBRON JAMES, Lakers exceptionalism.
ALSO IN
Lance Stephenson (1 yr/$4.5M)
Rajon Rondo (1yr/$9M)
JaVale McGee (minimum)
Michael Beasley (minimum)
Travis Wear (two-way)
Mo Wagner (No. 25)
Svi Mykhailiuk (No. 47).
KEPT
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (1yr/$12M)
LaVar and Lonzo Ball (for now)
2019 cap space
OUT
Isaiah Thomas
Julius Randle
Brook Lopez
Channing Frye
20-win seasons
This isn’t the ideal team you want around LeBron James — history shows surrounding him with shooters is lethal. But it’s much, much more athletic than last year’s Cavs team that checked in as the oldest in the NBA. The Lakers have fun, charismatic players and young stars on the rise. They also landed the best player in the world.
No, this Lakers team isn’t trash. This summer will make them fun to watch again. We’re in on them.
Golden State Warriors
Tumblr media
IN
DeMarcus Cousins (1 yrs/$5.3M)
Jonas Jerebko (1 yr/minimum)
Jacob Evans (No. 28)
Kevin Durant arguing on his own social media accounts.
Even more jealousy around the league.

Kevon Looney (1 yr/minimum)
#ARROGANTSZN
OUT
JaVale McGee

The Warriors were probably going to win another championship this season anyway. And THEN, they signed Boogie.
Let’s fast forward to the year 2021 already.
Toronto Raptors

IN
Kawhi Leonard (trade, Spurs)
Danny Green (trade, Spurs)
Greg Monroe (minimum)
Nick Nurse as head coach
KEPT
Fred VanVleet (2 yrs/$18M)
Lorenzo Brown

DeMar DeRozan (trade, Spurs)
The beautiful Lowry/DeRozan friendship
Jakob Poeltl (trade, Spurs)
2019 1st-round pick (top-20 protected)
2018 Coach of the Year Dwane Casey
LeBron’s shadow.
One thing’s clear: Between Casey and DeRozan, the Raptors don’t handle separation well. Another thing’s clear: Toronto just got a whole lot harder to score on with Leonard and Green in the lineup. If the Raptors can convince Leonard to stay long-term, they will be scary for years to come.
If they can’t, well... about that.
Houston Rockets
Tumblr media
IN
Carmelo Anthony (minimum)
James Ennis (minimum)
Michael Carter-Williams (minimum)
Gerald Green (minimum)
DeAnthony Melton (No. 46).
KEPT
Chris Paul (4 yrs/$160M)
Clint Capela (5 yrs/$90M)
OUT
Trevor Ariza
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute
27 missed threes in a row
Some luxury-tax payments.
If anyone can revive Michael Carter-Williams’ career, it’s gotta be Mike D’Antoni, right?
Houston opted against paying the luxury tax on Trevor Ariza’s next contract, then let Mbah a Moute walk, too. Then, they punted defense altogether by going after Carmelo Anthony. D’Antoni and Daryl Morey have made the impossible look gracefully easy before, but this is their biggest challenge yet.
At least DeAnthony Melton fell in their lap at pick No. 46.
San Antonio Spurs
Tumblr media
IN
DeMar DeRozan (trade, Raptors)
Jakob Poeltl (trade, Raptors)
2019 1st-round pick via Toronto (top-20 protected)
Lonnie Walker IV (No. 18)
Marco Belinelli (2yrs/$12M),
Dante Cunningham (minimum)
Being able to actually talk to their star player
KEPT
Rudy Gay (1yr/$10M)
Davis Bertans (2 yrs/$14.5M)
Bryn Forbes (2 yrs/$6M)
OUT
Kawhi Leonard (trade, Raptors)
Uncle Dennis (trade, Raptors)
Danny Green (trade, Raptors)
Tony Parker (free agency, Hornets)
Spurs exceptionalism
TBD
Manu Ginobili
Nothing makes up for the bizarre Kawhi Leonard saga, but it’s time to take a step back.
The Spurs made the playoffs last season, despite an injured Leonard playing in only nine games. They just replaced a 50-percent-healthy Kawhi Leonard with a 100-percent-healthy DeMar DeRozan, and Lonnie Walker IV is no scrub.
The West got really interesting this summer, but you can never count out the Spurs.
Tumblr media
Oklahoma City Thunder
IN
Dennis Schroder (trade, Hawks)
Jerami Grant (3 yrs/$27M)
Nerlens Noel (2 yrs/$3.75M)
Timothe Luwawu-Cabarot (trade, 76ers)
Hamidou Diallo (No. 45)
Abdel Nader (trade, Celtics)
Some luxury tax savings
KEPT
Paul George (4 yrs/$137M)
Raymond Felton (1 yr/minimum)
A massive luxury-tax bill
OUT
Carmelo Anthony (trade) and his needs
2022 1st-round pick (top-14 protected; trade, Hawks)
Nick Collison (retired)
Dakari Johnson (trade, Magic)
2019 2nd-round pick
The Thunder had one of the best summers in the NBA. Not only did they defy the odds to retain Paul George, rid themselves of Carmelo Anthony, and get a backup center, but they saved themselves some luxury tax payments and got a proper reserve point guard in Dennis Schroder.
We don’t know if this’ll be enough to vault the Thunder into legitimate championship contention, but OKC fans should be pumped. Their team just had an incredible offseason.
Philadelphia 76ers
Tumblr media
IN
Wilson Chandler (trade, Nuggets)
Zhaire Smith (No. 16)
Landry Shamet (No. 26)
Mike Muscala (trade, Hawks)
Markelle Fultz’s confidence
KEPT
J.J. Redick (1yr/$12M)
Amir Johnson (minimum)
Max cap space (for 2019)
Not having a general manager
The rookie injury curse
OUT
Ersan Ilyasova
Marco Belinelli
Justin Anderson (trade, Hawks)
Timothe Luwawu-Cabarot (trade, Thunder)
Richaun Holmes (trade, Suns)
@AlVic40117560
The Process (or at least this stage of it)
The 76ers set the bar at landing a star and fell far below it. Still, the Chandler trade was smart, and their two draft picks are insurance in case Markelle Fultz still can’t shoot a jumper.
Cleveland Cavaliers
Tumblr media
IN
Collin Sexton (No. 8)
Channing Frye (minimum)
Sam Dekker (trade, Cavs)
David Nwaba
KEPT
Kevin Love (4yrs/$120M).
OUT
Nobody important
Oh wait, maybe one person, but he didn’t move the needle much
Everyone and their mom knew LeBron James was walking out the door after Cleveland was swept out of the Finals. That happened, and the Cavs have begun the painful process of putting the pieces back together. Collin Sexton at No. 8. was a good start, and Love’s $120 million extension ensures Cleveland will be at least competitive. But what’s the vision for Cleveland in a post-LeBron world?

Cómo Minimizar Lesiones y Maximizar el Confort Detrás de la Barra
Pasar horas de pie, interactuar con los clientes, usar las máquinas y preparar bebidas son solo algunas de las tareas que los baristas cumplen todos los días. Transformar los granos de café en bebidas es mucho trabajo y abarca moler, apisonar, medir, extraer y verter. Es una labor divertida, pero también afecta negativamente al cuerpo si no se tiene cuidado.
Dado que es un trabajo tan activo, que requiere mucha energía, puede dar como resultado distensiones musculares o esguinces si no se controla el movimiento. Con el tiempo, esto podría provocar lesiones permanentes.
Para asegurarte de que el tiempo que pasas detrás de la barra sea lo más largo e indoloro posible, lee cómo puedes prevenir que tus tareas diarias interfieran en tu futuro desempeño.
Read this in English How to Minimize Injury & Maximize Comfort Behind The Bar

Disminuye el Esfuerzo de Las Tareas Diarias 
Como barista, pasas el día moviendo músculos y articulaciones en varias posiciones mientras preparas el café para los clientes. En un solo turno, estarás llenando y golpeando portafiltros, apisonando espressos para compactarlos e inclinando tu jarra de leche para verter arte latte, generalmente de forma muy rápida y varias veces por hora.
Además de estas tareas, también estarás levantando y empacando envíos pesados, contenedores y paquetes en espacios angostos e incómodos, o alcanzando estantes que tal vez sean demasiado altos o bajos. No sorprende que un estudio de la Universidad de Wilfred Laurier haya descubierto que la mayoría de los baristas encuestados sentía dolor en el hombro o en la parte baja de la espalda, debido a su trabajo.
Entender los riesgos presentes en una jornada laboral normal te puede ayudar a mejorar tus gestos antes de necesitar fisioterapia o, en casos graves, antes de que se produzca una lesión permanente.
Solamente los profesionales de la salud pueden diagnosticar y tratar lesiones relacionadas con el lugar de trabajo, pero hay algunas formas para que corras menos riesgos de sufrirlas.

Empieza Por tu Postura
Dado que ser barista implica pasar muchas horas erguido, tu postura tiene un papel importante. Prestar atención a la posición de tu cuerpo y la distribución del peso es clave. Si equilibras y centras el peso corporal, prevendrás más que el dolor de espalda. Esto se debe a que una mala postura puede agravar todo, desde dolores y molestias musculares hasta dolores de cabeza y acidez gástrica.
Presta atención a la manera en que permaneces de pie. ¿Tiendes a inclinarte hacia adelante o empujar las caderas hacia atrás? ¿Tus hombros están encorvados o demasiado levantados? Al hacer unos ajustes a tu alineación corporal, puedes erradicar estos hábitos de postura.
Bram Dekker, barista principal de Bocca Coffee en Ámsterdam, entiende cuán importante es la postura. Al ser una de las barras de café especial más populares de la ciudad, Bram ha tenido que ser consciente de cómo se para y se mueve. Él dice: “Trato de estar atento a mi postura, si mis hombros están rectos o si mi espalda está derecha. Dado que la mayoría de los movimientos [que hacen los baristas causan que el cuerpo] se incline un poco hacia adelante, es importante…prestar atención a eso”.
Si consideras que tu postura podría mejorar, elige una neutral. El Servicio Nacional de Salud del Reino Unido recomienda que imagines una cuerda desde la base de tu columna que pasa por la corona de la cabeza y tira hacia arriba. De ahí, contrae el abdomen, manteniendo los hombros relajados y en paralelo con tus caderas, y los pies a distancia de las caderas. 
Si alineas tu centro, mejoras tu estabilidad y equilibro en general; y esto previene lesiones y da mayor energía a los movimientos que realizas.

Da lo Mejor de ti, Con el Pie Derecho
Pasar mucho tiempo de pie significa que es importante en qué caminas. Es bastante común volver a casa con pies cansados e hinchados, con ampollas, debido a una mala elección del calzado.
El podólogo Patrick Raftery recomienda que las personas que deben permanecer de pie por mucho tiempo en el trabajo elijan un calzado cerrado, bien atado y con relleno en el interior. También, debería tener un soporte para los tobillos, espacio para que los dedos se puedan mover y una gran suela antideslizante. Si tienes predisposición a sufrir dolor en los pies, tal vez deberías invertir en medias de compresión o plantillas especiales.
Dado que estar de pie consume un 20% más de energía que estar sentados, te puedes cansar más rápido. Hacer pausas regulares te ayudará a disminuir el cansancio en los pies. No es necesario que estas pausas duren mucho para cosechar los beneficios. Los estudios indican que descansos breves y frecuentes, de solo 10 minutos, pueden aliviar la fatiga muscular y mejorar la salud mental.

Controla Tus Movimientos
Aunque una mala postura y las largas horas de pie pueden causar molestias y cansancio, lo que provoca lesiones son normalmente los movimientos característicos que deben realizar los baristas. Un estudio realizado por una empresa norteamericana de seguros de compensación para trabajadores muestra que los empleados de tiendas de café perdieron más días debido a lesiones contraídas en el lugar de trabajo que cualquier otro trabajador del sector  de la restauración. Las lesiones causadas por el esfuerzo repetitivo de la muñeca (lo cual se conoce frecuentemente como “muñeca de barista”) dieron como resultado una pérdida de 265 días en promedio.
Al tener cuidado con la manera en que preparas las bebidas, puedes disminuir las probabilidades de que esto ocurra. Sin embargo, vale la pena notar que no existe la mejor técnica. Cuán cómodamente puedes trabajar dependerá a menudo de factores como tu estatura y la altura de la máquina. Si la máquina está demasiado alta o demasiado baja, será incómodo trabajar con ella.
Según Karen Fitt, directora del Centro de Rehabilitación de Manos de Melbourne y presidente de la Asociación Australiana de Terapia de la Mano, es común para los baristas sufrir lesiones relacionadas con el apisonamiento manual y la colocación del portafiltro en la cabeza de grupo. Estas acciones los obligan a adoptar una postura incómoda del hombro y una postura con las palmas hacia arriba que puede provocar dolor.
Existen unas directrices que puedes seguir para reducir el riesgo de sufrir lesiones mientras preparas café. Cuando apisonas, hazlo con tu codo en un ángulo de 90 grados y tu muñeca derecha. La presión se debería ejercer con el brazo y no con la palma o la mano.
Usar una muñequera flexible puede mitigar daños secundarios de condiciones crónicas, como artritis, síndrome del túnel carpiano o tendinitis. Sin embargo, Bram advierte que deberías “cuidarte [y] escuchar tu cuerpo. Si te duele la muñeca/espalda/cualquier parte, no hagas otro turno de trabajo. No mejorará, seguirá empeorando si no lo dejas descansar. Ese turno podría condenarte a una semana sentado en casa sin poder trabajar”.

Organiza tu Entorno 
Luego de modificar tus movimientos para ser más amable con tu cuerpo, puedes dirigir tu atención hacia la optimización de tu lugar de trabajo. Tal vez no te des cuenta, pero unas pequeñas adaptaciones de tu entorno pueden mejorar tu flujo de trabajo. Esto, a su vez, puede marcar una gran diferencia en la cantidad de esfuerzo que ejerces con tu cuerpo y hacer que tu día sea más fácil.
Kaspar Tammjarv, entrenador de baristas freelance y actual campeón de arte latte de los Países Bajos, cree mucho en modificar el lugar de trabajo, de manera que funcione para ti. “Dado que tengo dolor de espalda, trato de rotar de forma incómoda e inclinar mi cuerpo lo menos posible. Esto significa que, en tiendas de café que trabajan con grandes volúmenes, dejo la leche afuera, cerca de la vara de vapor, o en la parte superior de la heladera, lista para usar. Y organizo mi lugar [de trabajo] para que fluya de izquierda a derecha para minimizar el movimiento de ida y vuelta”.
El tipo de modificaciones que necesitarás realizar dependerá de tus preferencias personales y tu entorno físico particular. Kaspar observa que, “siempre se pueden hacer pequeños ajustes para adaptarse a tu cuerpo. Nunca tengas miedo de reorganizar un poco si tiene más sentido según cómo te mueves”.

Doblarse, girarse o agacharse una vez quizás no parece ser gran cosa considerando tu forma. Pero cuando realizas apresuradamente decenas de estos movimientos por día, el estrés puede acumularse en tu cuerpo. Si mantienes tu lugar de trabajo organizado de una manera lineal, minimizarás esto (y garantizarás que te dobles y levantes usando la técnica correcta).
Según la Mayo Clinic (un centro médico académico norteamericano sin fines de lucro), deberías cumplir con los siguientes movimientos para levantar un objeto grande o pesado:
Empieza por pararte lo más cerca posible del objeto. Arrodíllate con una pierna en el piso o agáchate teniendo el objeto entre las rodillas.
Usa la zona central del cuerpo y levanta el objeto. Haz fuerza con las piernas para realizar el movimiento, respira normalmente y coloca el objeto sobre la rodilla antes de levantarte.
Usa las piernas para levantarte. No gires el cuerpo y mantén el objeto cerca de ti.
Al hacer esto, reducirás el esfuerzo en la espalda y las rodillas y, en su lugar, activarás la parte central del cuerpo y las piernas.

Ser barista puede ser agotador, tanto física como psicológicamente. Afortunadamente, un poco de consciencia y algunas medidas de prevención pueden ayudar mucho para evitar dolores y lesiones. Si prestas atención a tus gestos cotidianos, puedes seguir teniendo una carrera larga y saludable haciendo lo que te apasiona detrás de la barra.

Stop and Fix? How the ‘High-Crime Area’ Defense Has Licensed Bad Policing
Almost 20 years ago, in Illinois v. Wardlow, the Supreme Court endorsed a police stop and frisk.
The Court held that if the police had relied solely on the fact that Sam Wardlow fled the corner when the cops arrived on the scene the search would have been invalid, and the gun the cops seized from Wardlow would have been inadmissible as evidence.
But the police could point to the fact that their search of Wardlow occurred in a “high-crime area.”
That was good enough for the Supreme Court; and, so, it has been good enough for lower courts ever since. “High Crime Area” has become a staple in recipes for police and prosecutors defending against suppression motions.
The mental processes that the Wardlow opinion described are mechanical and linear. he police, starting with nothing, pile predictive facts on a balance until the scale tilts far enough to satisfy the Fourth Amendment.
Flight does not equal reasonable cause to search. But add one more token to the pile . . .
Then, the sum of flight + high-crime area does equal reason enough to stop and frisk a citizen for weapons.
In a striking new article Professors Ben Grunwald (Duke University School of Law) and Jeffrey Fagan (Columbia University) expertly mine the rich data supplied by New York Police Department (NYPD) officers’ post-stop reports, and challenge—on its own terms—the Court’s assertion that a location in a high crime area adds predictive justification to a cop’s decision to stop and frisk.
The researchers’ findings obliterate the unspoken empirical bases for the Court’s Wardlow rationale.
It turns out that the cops call almost every block in the city “a high-crime area,” and their assessments are nearly uncorrelated with actual crime data. The suspect’s race predicts whether the cop calls the place a “high-crime area” nearly as well as the actual crime statistics.
In fact, the racial demographic of the area and the identity of the particular cop are better predictors of whether a cop relies on a “high-crime area” justification than is the actual crime rate, and stops are less likely to turn up contraband when the cops rely on a “high- crime area” inference as one of their predictive factors.
The phrase “High-Crime Area” operates as a wild card in the police hand, deployed whenever they want to search but can’t explain much about why.
The Safety Lens
It’s time to banish “High-Crime Area” from our lexicon: from legal arguments, but from criminal justice journalism too. The term isn’t just mistaken; it’s a toxic illusion. As Grunwald and Fagan show, we now have the data with which to dispel it.
What if we looked at these street stops through the lens used by Safety commentators in aviation, medicine, and other dangerous fields?
I think that new lens would show all of us—criminal justice journalists included—that we can, and we should, live without the concept “High-Crime Area.”
To begin with, we would notice that from the Safety perspective the Supreme Court’s Wardlow approach isn’t talking in any serious way about everyone’s safety.
We don’t tally among the harms we want to avoid the iatrogenic (“from the treatment”) injuries such as the humiliations of innocent pedestrians inflicted during stops and frisks. A street stop’s harm to the individual pedestrian—not to a generic localized human—ought to be weighed in the balance before deciding to act if safety is our goal.
Besides, the Safety people would say that the whole image of cops mechanically weighing pre-determined factors, calculating a total, and only then deciding what to do, is a mirage.
Cops anticipating a stop and frisk aren’t methodically stacking counters one after another as the justices seem to think; a street cop’s situation is dynamic, fluid, ambiguous.
The cops are engaged, under time pressure and production pressure, in what Safety people call “sense-making”: trying to sort out swirling clouds of overlapping and often conflicting influences.
This “sense-making” experience includes the estimate of the likelihood of an error (e.g, a fruitless search). That influence is the focus of the Wardlow Court, and of the Grunwald and Fagan research.
 The Cost of an Error
But the cops are dealing with more than the probability of a “hit” or a “miss”; the street cops are inevitably considering the cost of an error if one does occur.
Stopping the mayor’s son mistakenly will impose a higher cost than stopping yet another 18 year-old African-American kid in a “High-Crime Area.” Making a stop in an area where you don’t have the Wardlow case’s “High-Crime Area” wild card location in your hand might cost you in terms of later court action.
From the cops’ vantage point “High-Crime Area” depresses the potential costs at two moments.
It dilutes any pre-stop concerns that harm will be done by a mistaken stop. (“Hey, they live in a High-Crime Area; they’re all pretty used to it.”)
And it can reduce the retrospective fear of having to pay a disciplinary or evidentiary price: everyone knows that the local courts will follow  Wardlow.
So, we have all of the ingredients to set in motion what the Safety researchers call “practical drift.” According to Sidney Dekker, there is:
…A long and steady progression of small incremental steps that unwittingly take an organization toward its boundaries. Each step away from the original norm that meets with empirical success (and no obvious sacrifice of safety) is used as the next basis to depart just that little bit more . . .
Not surprisingly, during two decades since Wardlow,  “High-Crime Area” has drifted toward “Constitutional Free Fire Zone.”
There are no policemen agonizing over whether to search or not in the local High- Crime Area; at the point of decision the reality has crept closer to “What the Hell, why not?”
Whatever the phrase “High-Crime Area” has done for describing the likelihood of a “hit” in making a stop, it has certainly depressed to near invisibility any cost that the error might trigger and any inhibitions that fear of that cost might foster.
The higher number of stops that this dynamic generates inevitably leads to a higher absolute number of guns and drugs recovered, and that absolute number contributes to the High-Crime Area calculations’ plausibility.
It amounts to a prophecy that may or may not be fulfilled in an individual encounter but can be self-fulfilling in the aggregate.
An Area of Crime
The influence of the phrase High-Crime Area spreads much further than these point-of-contact moments alone might suggest.
One of the maxims of the safety analysts is that to understand an event it isn’t enough to go “down and in” to find the broken component, human or technical: the “eureka part.” They would say that you also have to look “up and out” at the environment that shaped the choices at the sharp end.
The phrase “High-Crime Area” now constitutes an important element of that environment: the phrase itself has become a condition that the frontline people confront.
Look at the data—as Grunwald and Fagan among many others have—and you realize that there is really no such thing as a “High-Crime Area.”
I live in Boston, where the general white population wouldn’t hesitate to tell you that Roxbury is a “high-crime area.”
And if you look at the map you can see red hot spot “high-crime corners” and red “high-crime block segments” in Roxbury. You might see, although they are harder to visualize, spidery networks linking high-crime activity in Roxbury to, say, neighboring Dorchester.
But despite white America’s determined effort—brilliantly explained in books such as Richard Rothstein’s The Color of Law—to drive minority citizens into contained areas of poverty, the crime map of Roxbury is an archipelago of these hot spots, not a solid color field of red crime saturation.
Constructing a Reality
The most destructive feature of our promiscuous use of “High-Crime Area” is that it constructs a social reality.
“High-Crime Area” conjures, and then sustains, a vision of a There to contrast with our Here. It describes a zone. A zone has a frontier and a boundary. That boundary is defended by a thin blue line of police, and the precinct captain occupies the role of a Lawrence of Arabia, our expert on the local mind.
Ordinary white Americans never go to High-Crime Areas because they believe that they know exactly what they should expect to experience if they do go.
If the media want to bring the public news from There, they interview the specialists, and the news passes through the refracting membrane the fulltime experts in black mischief constitute.
This conception leaves us all subject the pervasive, distorting “rigidly binomial opposition of ‘ours’ and ‘theirs’ ” that Edward Said decried in reviewing commentary on the colonial Third World.
A dominant mental climate affects individual frontline decisions (“What’s the harm if I stop and frisk?”) but it is also felt in the policy debates among the higher-ups that influence those frontliners’ decisions and in the overall political discourse that in turn influences those policy debates.
Continuing to use High-Crime Area is an error, and it’s a very costly error.
James Doyle
As Andrew Ferguson points out in The Rise of Big Data Policing we are entering an era in which the intelligent development and deployment of “blue data” about actual crime locations can help free us from the warped message of the phrase High-Crime Area.
It is a scourge on our society; we ought to try.
We can try to free our minds too.

The Outlet Pass: Jim Boylen is a Legend
The Case for Jim Boylen
The Jim Boylen Show is one of those classic NBA subplots that began as a cracked carnival ride, but—not so much including Wednesday night’s need for introspection—may be maturing into a situation that’s slightly more intriguing than pitiful. Boylen is a retrograde disciplinarian who’s extremely stubborn and passionate to the point of exhaustion. As someone literally coaching for his job, who knows how long the odds of him ever getting another opportunity this high up the food chain are, each game is its own battle. (Long-term gains are nice, but mainly accessible as the byproduct of decisions made with that night’s result in mind.)
The aftermath of Boylen’s initial roar for knuckle push-ups and inane suicide sprints was a pseudo-mutiny and the birth of a leadership committee. It was embarrassing for everyone involved. (Boylen’s response? “I’m juiced, man. I’m jacked up about it.”) But there are still nights when the Bulls appear to be take hazy steps in the right direction.
What’s bad is extraordinarily bad—Chicago is dead last in offense by a wide margin, and the only team since Fred Hoiberg was fired to average fewer than one point per possession; they’re pigs rolling in mud—but what’s not bad deserves recognition. Since Boylen took over on December 3, the Bulls have the ninth-best defense in the NBA. Before, they were 22nd. Eliminate transition from the equation, and before Wednesday night’s loss, only the Indiana Pacers had been more stout in the half court, per Cleaning the Glass. B.B.B. (Before Boylen Ball) they ranked 21st in the half court.
These stats include Chicago’s historic 56-point loss against the Boston Celtics, and two games against the Oklahoma City Thunder in which they allowed 233 total points. That is kind of impressive! Even with a schedule that’s gifted them the Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic (three times!), Chicago’s effort, hair-on-fire aggression, and tight rotations are sustainable to a degree against teams that aren’t expecting it. One month in, it’s too early to call this fully sustainable. But given all their injuries and ill-equipped personnel, it’s also impressive. (They stifled the red-hot San Antonio Spurs and held the Toronto Raptors to a 40-point half, too.)
Boylen’s priorities are clear. Chicago’s pace has gone from average to a trickle. Jabari Parker is M.I.A. Defense is the universe. And even when he chooses to impersonate Byron Scott by punishing first and second-year players who, you know, make mistakes, in an otherwise lost season there’s serious value in thrusting important defensive principles onto impressionable prospects. They consistently execute a game-plan that will sometimes change from quarter to quarter, and is based on opposing personnel more than anything.
Depending on which of their bigs is involved, when up against a ball-handler who can shoot, Boylen wants the screener’s man to either stay level or show and recover, forcing a pass towards back-line defenders who’re ready to secure the paint. An example can be seen below: As Wendell Carter Jr. extends himself 35 feet from the rim, Chandler Hutchison has already introduced himself to a rolling Ian Mahinmi, who immediately whips the ball out of bounds.
It’s a beatable strategy against those that see it coming (like the Magic on Wednesday night), but by engaging all five guys on most possessions—forcing communication, quick rotations, and an understanding of where to be—it suits a young team nicely. Here’s Robin Lopez up to prevent Bradley Beal from getting a clean look. Before the pass even comes, Lauri Markkanen is already in the paint, positioned to swat Thomas Bryant’s shot.
One of the big picture takeaways in Boylen’s first month has been the effectiveness of Markkanen and Carter Jr. as a frontcourt duo. Offensively, it’s definitely fair to say he’s holding them back (these two are compatible and too talented not to eventually thrive on that end). But on defense, in a 275-minute sample size, Chicago has a top-five defense when they share the floor. Markkanen isn’t able to switch out onto guards, but he’s quick enough to contain the ball 25 feet from the rim, prevent a guard from turning the corner, and then scamper back to his man. Meanwhile, Carter Jr. (who Boylen benched on Wednesday night for no discernible reason) is good enough to suck the oxygen out of your lungs by momentarily transforming into prime Kevin Garnett.
Rookies are not supposed to do everything Carter Jr. does on that play. Like a 10-year vet, his brain is on auto-pilot, correctly analyzing then reacting to the offense. There’s no margin for hesitation and so Carter Jr. doesn’t hesitate. Since Boylen took over, opponents are shooting just 51.9 percent at the rim when he defends it. This type of effort illustrates why:
On the whole, Boylen’s coaching style is Full Metal Jacket as a one-man show. It’s maddening, comical, and, at times, deranged. In response to a random Lopez hook shot, he’ll violently pump his fist and howl towards the rafters. Boylen lives and dies on every possession with a level of enthusiasm that no cardiologist would recommend. It’s Tom Thibodeau clutching a megaphone, blowtorch, and empty bottle of adderall. (When Sam Dekker got away with a travel during a recent Bulls win over the Washington Wizards, Boylen turned to rookie ref Ashley Moyer-Gleich and shouted “Ashley! He took six steps!” The man is a legend.)
But, in some areas, the man is getting results. The Bulls rotate on a string and fly all over the court, deflecting over three more balls per 48 minutes under Boylen than they did with Hoiberg—a leap from average to fourth-best in the league. This team is rabid, physical, and following orders. They bump cutters, help the helper, know when to switch, and hold their own in spite of an offense (constructed by Boylen) that provides zero favors.
It’s unclear how much of Chicago’s defensive success will continue under a coach who micromanages every speck of each possession, with no sign of him abandoning roots that have already started to rot. Boylen’s attitude isn’t one to shepherd a very good team to the Finals, but he may be a logical exorcist for some of Chicago’s bad habits. Until the inevitable day comes when this young core is passed onto more delicate hands (think Mark Jackson to Steve Kerr), Boylen deserves some credit for what he’s done to a defense most expected to be epically horrendous all year.
Draymond Green’s Sort-of-Impossible Box Out Stats
One of the more subtle reasons Draymond Green is an irreplaceable defender comes after the opponent’s shot goes up, when he wheels his body in front of whoever’s nearby, dislodges them out of position, and dramatically increases the odds of a Golden State Warrior grabbing the rebound.
Last year he finished fifth with 6.6 defensive box outs per game. Right now, he’s fourth, with 8.0. This is impressive when you compare his role to that of others who box out as frequently as he does. Green is not a traditional drop big who can just spin around and throw his ass into whoever’s nearby. His defensive responsibilities run the gamut. He switches out on the perimeter and perpetually exists as a help-side safety net—flying around, putting out fires that are nowhere near his original assignment. For him to also place near the top of the league in a category like this is sort of amazing, especially when you consider the impact it’s had on Golden State’s defense when he’s at the five.
Not nothing: opponents are grabbing a measly 22 percent of their own missed shots when Green plays center, a truly impressive number that’s far lower than it’s ever been since the Warriors became the Warriors. (When Green played center last year that number was 30.5 percent. The year before that? 31.9 percent.) For all the worry about his disintegrating outside shot (he’ll probably make nine threes in Game 1 of the Finals, and eight of them will be assisted by DeMarcus Cousins), Green’s effort in this area is as commendable as ever.
Point Guard Don(cic)
It’s been a little over two weeks since Sacramento Kings head coach Dave Joerger had this to say about everyone’s favorite wunderkind, Luka Doncic: “Perhaps there was an idea that there was a ceiling on him. I don't see it, unfortunately for us.” The statement was received as a searing subtweet aimed towards Kings assistant general manager Brandon Williams. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t. But more important, to me, was what it summoned: an interesting and ever-relevant debate about fit and context pertaining to prospects and the teams that draft them. Generally speaking, it’s silly to pass over a generational talent because he’d be limited in your system or on your roster. If that’s how you feel, change your system and/or your roster.
Doncic is good enough to transcend any environment he occupies, but like every other player on Earth, he’s also influenced by what his teammates can/can’t do, and his hypothetical role in Sacramento, next to a blurry pick-and-roll roadrunner like De’Aaron Fox, is different than his actual reality in Dallas. That’s OK. But it’s also fair and natural to consider how Doncic’s game might be limited there. Based on everything we’ve seen, Doncic, Fox, and the Kings would be perfectly fine, but it’d also rob us (and Doncic?) of maximizing the most exciting and beneficial area of his skill-set.
Doncic doesn’t need the ball in his hands to positively impact a game, but like so many great playmakers before him, it makes sense to let him influence a majority of his team’s on-court decisions. Before Dennis Smith Jr.’s return, we witnessed a few lineups that let Doncic literally stand alone as his team’s point guard. No J.J. Barea, DSJ, Devin Harris, or Jalen Brunson. When Dallas is healthy those lineups won’t see the floor, and there’s been mixed results in the limited time we saw them play, but those minutes offered a glimpse towards how the Mavs may want to build around their franchise player.
(I absolutely love DSJ and am not one to give up on the compatibility of any two players as young and talented as him and Doncic, but—an uptick in three-point shooting aside—nobody should be surprised if/when Dallas makes a trade; the Mavericks score 110.9 points per 100 possessions when Doncic is on the floor without Smith Jr. and 100 points per 100 possessions when they both play.)
Even though Doncic’s usage rate and True Shooting percentage are actually higher with Smith Jr. on the court than without, just look at the cool stuff he can do when operating in space beside teammates who naturally complement his profound ability to make the defense feel like it’s hallucinating.
Everything falls into place when Doncic is surrounded by wings and bigs who provide enough space and defensive versatility. They unlock his best attributes and will eventually let Dallas discover its best self. There are parallels here to how Brett Brown decided to use Ben Simmons last year (a move that wasn’t obvious at the time). Doncic’s skill-set gives a much longer rope and no pressure to go all-in down one road, but there’s a future where his assist rate is consistently over 35 percent on a top-five offense. (Right now he’s one of six 19-year-old rookies in league history to assist at least 25 percent of his team’s baskets while logging over 1,000 total minutes.)
Related: The Mavericks shouldn’t be shy about throwing a lot of money at Malcolm Brogdon this summer. He’s a low-usage cog who can defend point guards while quietly posting 50/40/90 splits. The perfect partner for someone like Doncic once the Mavs start putting the ball in his hands way more than they already are.
Kevin Knox is Starting to Show What He Can Be
It’s still too early to make any firm declarations about Kevin Knox’s future. But for someone who won’t celebrate his 20th birthday until August, it’s impossible not to look at his production since David Fizdale made him a full-time starter on December 12th and not feel bullish.
Since, he’s averaging 37.6 minutes, 17.9 points, and 5.2 rebounds while making 38.1 percent of his threes (of which he launches many). The Knicks are bad and some of Knox’s overall inefficiency comes from being 19 with a flashing green light, but there are aspects of his game—particularly off the ball—that make it feel like whenever New York acquires a star (whoever it may be), Knox won’t have any problem finding ways to impact the game.
The quick-trigger three-ball is fun, as is enough size and length to eventually guard three positions with ease. But the most impressive part of Knox’s game so far might be how aggressively (and intelligently) he attacks closeouts. Watch below, where he doesn’t wait for the ball to hit his hands before he curves into the paint.
It’s an instruction smart teams (the Spurs and Jazz, most notably) give their wings in an effort to get a step past their defender. And here’s Knox showing enough confidence to take Paul Millsap off the bounce (something the four-time All-Star clearly didn’t expect) before an and-1 finish at the rim.
Knox still doesn’t know how to pass on the move and is only shooting 40 percent on drives since he entered the starting lineup. He ranks 471st out of 472 players in Real Plus-Minus. But the silhouette of a useful player is drawn. The Knicks needed to hit this pick and they didn’t screw it up! Good for them!
Jamal Crawford’s Late-Career Transformation
Jamal Crawford will always be known for his ability to get buckets off the bench. That’s his DNA and the first line of his basketball obituary. But this year has been different. It’s not an evolutionary change, per se, but Crawford, at 38, has spent almost all his minutes as Phoenix’s de facto backup point guard, setting teammates up, throwing lobs, and rewarding cutters. His assist rate is the highest it’s ever been—second only to Devin Booker on the team—and his shots per 100 possessions were only lower during his rookie season.
During the month of December, he averaged about five assists per game, including a career-high 14 at Madison Square Garden. Crawford goes out of his way to feed youngsters like Deandre Ayton and Mikal Bridges, incentivizing them to cut hard, sprint the floor, and dive into the paint.
Crawford was paid to be “selfish” earlier in his career. He took (and made) tough shots even when a more satisfying option presented itself. Now, he’ll swing it to an open man without hesitation. (More than once I’ve had to rewind and double-check to make sure it was him who threw the pass.) When a defender races out to run him off the three-point line, Crawford will forgo a one-dribble pull-up and circulate the ball around the perimeter.
In three fewer minutes per game compared to last season, when he was on the Minnesota Timberwolves, he’s averaging five more passes. On high pick-and-rolls, Crawford’s head is up, canvassing the baseline for teammates, trying to do more than settle for the jumper he can turn to whenever he wants.
The play below would never happen five years ago. If the screener’s man dropped that far, Crawford would use the sliver of space provided by Ayton’s screen to pull up. Instead, he lets him attack an off-balance DeAndre Jordan, who clearly wasn’t expecting a pass.
The Suns are extremely bad, but Crawford’s readiness to tilt his role towards that of a playmaker has made life (slightly) easier for a young core that would otherwise have no stability whatsoever at such a crucial position.

Markkanen isn’t able to switch out onto guards, but he’s quick enough to contain the ball 25 feet from the rim, prevent a guard from turning the corner, and then scamper back to his man. Meanwhile, Carter Jr. (who Boylen benched on Wednesday night for no discernible reason) is good enough to suck the oxygen out of your lungs by momentarily transforming into prime Kevin Garnett.
Rookies are not supposed to do everything Carter Jr. does on that play. Like a 10-year vet, his brain is on auto-pilot, correctly analyzing then reacting to the offense. There’s no margin for hesitation and so Carter Jr. doesn’t hesitate. Since Boylen took over, opponents are shooting just 51.9 percent at the rim when he defends it. This type of effort illustrates why:
On the whole, Boylen’s coaching style is Full Metal Jacket as a one-man show. It’s maddening, comical, and, at times, deranged. In response to a random Lopez hook shot, he’ll violently pump his fist and howl towards the rafters. Boylen lives and dies on every possession with a level of enthusiasm that no cardiologist would recommend. It’s Tom Thibodeau clutching a megaphone, blowtorch, and empty bottle of adderall. (When Sam Dekker got away with a travel during a recent Bulls win over the Washington Wizards, Boylen turned to rookie ref Ashley Moyer-Gleich and shouted “Ashley! He took six steps!” The man is a legend.)
But, in some areas, the man is getting results. The Bulls rotate on a string and fly all over the court, deflecting over three more balls per 48 minutes under Boylen than they did with Hoiberg—a leap from average to fourth-best in the league. This team is rabid, physical, and following orders. They bump cutters, help the helper, know when to switch, and hold their own in spite of an offense (constructed by Boylen) that provides zero favors.
It’s unclear how much of Chicago’s defensive success will continue under a coach who micromanages every speck of each possession, with no sign of him abandoning roots that have already started to rot. Boylen’s attitude isn’t one to shepherd a very good team to the Finals, but he may be a logical exorcist for some of Chicago’s bad habits. Until the inevitable day comes when this young core is passed onto more delicate hands (think Mark Jackson to Steve Kerr), Boylen deserves some credit for what he’s done to a defense most expected to be epically horrendous all year.
Draymond Green’s Sort-of-Impossible Box Out Stats
One of the more subtle reasons Draymond Green is an irreplaceable defender comes after the opponent’s shot goes up, when he wheels his body in front of whoever’s nearby, dislodges them out of position, and dramatically increases the odds of a Golden State Warrior grabbing the rebound.
Last year he finished fifth with 6.6 defensive box outs per game. Right now, he’s fourth, with 8.0. This is impressive when you compare his role to that of others who box out as frequently as he does. Green is not a traditional drop big who can just spin around and throw his ass into whoever’s nearby. His defensive responsibilities run the gamut. He switches out on the perimeter and perpetually exists as a help-side safety net—flying around, putting out fires that are nowhere near his original assignment. For him to also place near the top of the league in a category like this is sort of amazing, especially when you consider the impact it’s had on Golden State’s defense when he’s at the five.
Not nothing: opponents are grabbing a measly 22 percent of their own missed shots when Green plays center, a truly impressive number that’s far lower than it’s ever been since the Warriors became the Warriors. (When Green played center last year that number was 30.5 percent. The year before that? 31.9 percent.) For all the worry about his disintegrating outside shot (he’ll probably make nine threes in Game 1 of the Finals, and eight of them will be assisted by DeMarcus Cousins), Green’s effort in this area is as commendable as ever.
Point Guard Don(cic)
It’s been a little over two weeks since Sacramento Kings head coach Dave Joerger had this to say about everyone’s favorite wunderkind, Luka Doncic: “Perhaps there was an idea that there was a ceiling on him. I don’t see it, unfortunately for us.” The statement was received as a searing subtweet aimed towards Kings assistant general manager Brandon Williams. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t. But more important, to me, was what it summoned: an interesting and ever-relevant debate about fit and context pertaining to prospects and the teams that draft them. Generally speaking, it’s silly to pass over a generational talent because he’d be limited in your system or on your roster. If that’s how you feel, change your system and/or your roster.
Doncic is good enough to transcend any environment he occupies, but like every other player on Earth, he’s also influenced by what his teammates can/can’t do, and his hypothetical role in Sacramento, next to a blurry pick-and-roll roadrunner like De’Aaron Fox, is different than his actual reality in Dallas. That’s OK. But it’s also fair and natural to consider how Doncic’s game might be limited there. Based on everything we’ve seen, Doncic, Fox, and the Kings would be perfectly fine, but it’d also rob us (and Doncic?) of maximizing the most exciting and beneficial area of his skill-set.
Doncic doesn’t need the ball in his hands to positively impact a game, but like so many great playmakers before him, it makes sense to let him influence a majority of his team’s on-court decisions. Before Dennis Smith Jr.’s return, we witnessed a few lineups that let Doncic literally stand alone as his team’s point guard. No J.J. Barea, DSJ, Devin Harris, or Jalen Brunson. When Dallas is healthy those lineups won’t see the floor, and there’s been mixed results in the limited time we saw them play, but those minutes offered a glimpse towards how the Mavs may want to build around their franchise player.
(I absolutely love DSJ and am not one to give up on the compatibility of any two players as young and talented as him and Doncic, but—an uptick in three-point shooting aside—nobody should be surprised if/when Dallas makes a trade; the Mavericks score 110.9 points per 100 possessions when Doncic is on the floor without Smith Jr. and 100 points per 100 possessions when they both play.)
Even though Doncic’s usage rate and True Shooting percentage are actually higher with Smith Jr. on the court than without, just look at the cool stuff he can do when operating in space beside teammates who naturally complement his profound ability to make the defense feel like it’s hallucinating.
Everything falls into place when Doncic is surrounded by wings and bigs who provide enough space and defensive versatility. They unlock his best attributes and will eventually let Dallas discover its best self. There are parallels here to how Brett Brown decided to use Ben Simmons last year (a move that wasn’t obvious at the time). Doncic’s skill-set gives a much longer rope and no pressure to go all-in down one road, but there’s a future where his assist rate is consistently over 35 percent on a top-five offense. (Right now he’s one of six 19-year-old rookies in league history to assist at least 25 percent of his team’s baskets while logging over 1,000 total minutes.)
Related: The Mavericks shouldn’t be shy about throwing a lot of money at Malcolm Brogdon this summer. He’s a low-usage cog who can defend point guards while quietly posting 50/40/90 splits. The perfect partner for someone like Doncic once the Mavs start putting the ball in his hands way more than they already are.
Kevin Knox is Starting to Show What He Can Be
It’s still too early to make any firm declarations about Kevin Knox’s future. But for someone who won’t celebrate his 20th birthday until August, it’s impossible not to look at his production since David Fizdale made him a full-time starter on December 12th and not feel bullish.
Since, he’s averaging 37.6 minutes, 17.9 points, and 5.2 rebounds while making 38.1 percent of his threes (of which he launches many). The Knicks are bad and some of Knox’s overall inefficiency comes from being 19 with a flashing green light, but there are aspects of his game—particularly off the ball—that make it feel like whenever New York acquires a star (whoever it may be), Knox won’t have any problem finding ways to impact the game.
The quick-trigger three-ball is fun, as is enough size and length to eventually guard three positions with ease. But the most impressive part of Knox’s game so far might be how aggressively (and intelligently) he attacks closeouts. Watch below, where he doesn’t wait for the ball to hit his hands before he curves into the paint.
It’s an instruction smart teams (the Spurs and Jazz, most notably) give their wings in an effort to get a step past their defender. And here’s Knox showing enough confidence to take Paul Millsap off the bounce (something the four-time All-Star clearly didn’t expect) before an and-1 finish at the rim.
Knox still doesn’t know how to pass on the move and is only shooting 40 percent on drives since he entered the starting lineup. He ranks 471st out of 472 players in Real Plus-Minus. But the silhouette of a useful player is drawn. The Knicks needed to hit this pick and they didn’t screw it up! Good for them!
Jamal Crawford’s Late-Career Transformation
Jamal Crawford will always be known for his ability to get buckets off the bench. That’s his DNA and the first line of his basketball obituary. But this year has been different. It’s not an evolutionary change, per se, but Crawford, at 38, has spent almost all his minutes as Phoenix’s de facto backup point guard, setting teammates up, throwing lobs, and rewarding cutters. His assist rate is the highest it’s ever been—second only to Devin Booker on the team—and his shots per 100 possessions were only lower during his rookie season.
During the month of December, he averaged about five assists per game, including a career-high 14 at Madison Square Garden. Crawford goes out of his way to feed youngsters like Deandre Ayton and Mikal Bridges, incentivizing them to cut hard, sprint the floor, and dive into the paint.
Crawford was paid to be “selfish” earlier in his career. He took (and made) tough shots even when a more satisfying option presented itself. Now, he’ll swing it to an open man without hesitation. (More than once I’ve had to rewind and double-check to make sure it was him who threw the pass.) When a defender races out to run him off the three-point line, Crawford will forgo a one-dribble pull-up and circulate the ball around the perimeter.
In three fewer minutes per game compared to last season, when he was on the Minnesota Timberwolves, he’s averaging five more passes. On high pick-and-rolls, Crawford’s head is up, canvassing the baseline for teammates, trying to do more than settle for the jumper he can turn to whenever he wants.
The play below would never happen five years ago. If the screener’s man dropped that far, Crawford would use the sliver of space provided by Ayton’s screen to pull up. Instead, he lets him attack an off-balance DeAndre Jordan, who clearly wasn’t expecting a pass.
The Suns are extremely bad, but Crawford’s readiness to tilt his role towards that of a playmaker has made life (slightly) easier for a young core that would otherwise have no stability whatsoever at such a crucial position.
