Ryen RussilloThe NBA offensive explosion is caused by rules and officiating that make it impossible to play defense
I don't know what the defense is supposed to do anymore... The foul number isn't the really thing to look at. I think it's defenses are scared to death to even be in compromised positions because guys just fucking run into everybody now. You just adding it all up... the offensive player has never had this many advantages.

PFT CommenterThe Dunk Contest is unfixable because we have already seen every possible dunk
There's really no way to fix the Dunk Contest. I think they've jumped over the biggest human they can find... maybe it's just that we've seen every cool Dunk and there's only so many cool dunks that you can do.
HankMac McClung should be ineligible for the NBA Dunk Contest because he isn't an active NBA player
Mac McClung should be ineligible because he is not in the [NBA]... That is the NBA dunk contest, not the G League dunk contest. If you're going to do that, just bring people off the street.
PFT CommenterA G-League player who wins the NBA Dunk Contest should receive a two-week NBA contract
If you win the Dunk contest and you're on a G League team, you should get like a two week contract.

View profileRyen RussilloThe Indiana Pacers won the trade deadline by adding Ivica Zubac while maintaining a path to a top-four pick
I look at the Pacers, you know, like you add a top five center in [Zubac]... you clean up some of your cap stuff, you bring in a top center who's gonna make you a little different... and then you have a chance at the top four pick here... I like what they did because they were doing something long-term while also making sure that they're tanking.
Ryen RussilloThe Milwaukee Bucks should not play Giannis Antetokounmpo for the rest of the season
I don't even think Milwaukee would want Giannis to come back and play... They should want to do whatever they can with this pick 'cause they don't have many of 'em. And Giannis probably shouldn't even wanna play and risk health and risk this contract extension that he can get before next fall. So the tanking is gonna get egregious.
Ryen RussilloThe Clippers made a smart pivot trading James Harden for Darius Garland
I like what the Clippers did... I don't think Darius Garland is this bad. He's a two-time all star. He's 26 years old... when he was right, he was terrific. And Harden... fourth trade request in six years. So the Clippers very quickly on the fly... you'll look at the Garland thing and go, man, they were able to land a player like that for Harden.
