I suspect retaining BB will be what costs BV his job this year.

Barnes should pack his bags and enter the portal. Blaylock was exponentially better. Excited to see what Ott can do if he's truly better. OL was incredibly disappointing. Mateer was disappointing to me, but maybe Arbuckle can scheme him to be one of those college standouts that has no NFL...

Multiple 1st round picks were discussed.

I wasn't over the moon about the trade and was hoping for Kessler instead. But to be as good as they were with a roster built around AD rather than Luka, it had me quite optimistic. Having said that, unless Ayton is his best self, I'm not over the moon about the offseason. But if Ayton plays...

I can't really fathom the type of offer they'd be willing to accept that another team would be willing to offer. Maybe if the Lakers were struggling mid-season and a contender made like 4 first rounders available. If the Lakers had a quality center, they would have been top 3 alongside OKC and...

I don't see it.

He would have been enough to keep Gobert from looking like Wilt Chamberlain.

Neither did Wade's, but it doesn't really matter when you're talking about some of the best players in the league. Doncic won the West on a lesser Mavs team. The issues were more about the rest of the roster. Had the Mark Williams trade gone through, the Lakers were probably #2 or #3 team in...

When Lebron James declines to the point that the Lakers would even consider trading him, he'll just retire.

This. Bucks and Celtics were better with Jrue. But for the first 10 years of his career, he was playing on irrelevant teams while Dame was carrying Portland to relevance. It's all about the role they are filling. Jrue can't carry a tram, but probably should have won Finals MVP for how he...

And are you really complaining about guys that aren't even draft-eligible not getting drafted? You do know how this works, right?

Nobody said OU had one of the best defenses of all time. Just one of the best last year. I'll admit that our defense wasn't as good as the one that spurred on the greatest dynasty in modern major sports. We also weren't as good as the 85 Bears, 2000 Ravens, or 2002 Bucs either. Alabama gave...

If you're stuck in the 90s and want to only use stats that don't factor competition level, number of possessions, field position, etc, then sure. But for those of us that have computers, it's not hard. We ranked 7th in yards per play against top 25 teams. And if you exclude teams that only...

This is classic of you to cite a meaningless bowl game that most of our key players were sitting out. The other game you cited the offense simply needed to net +17 points and we win. The game winning touchdown was a fumble return by their defense, so I personally don't blame the defense for...

I wouldn't consider the football team a title contender, but the defense was elite last year, and if Mateer were to be the second coming of Baker, there's a world where we compete for it. Nijel Pack could win the Naismith and I still don't see a title happening in basketball. It's Moser's most...
