I considered Boston, Golden State, and Portland before signing with the Nets

I will tell you some of the teams... I really liked Boston. I really liked Golden State. I really liked Portland. There was a few other teams... but I had a tough decision. But ultimately, I had to do what was best for me and I think my ability to get a dunk.

This is a personal account of his own free agency process.

Mitch Trubisky will rehab his image in Buffalo and get another starting opportunity next year

If [Mitch Trubisky] spends a year as Josh Allen's backup, I think that the negative media around Mitch will dissipate. And then next year, he will be a name where it's kind of the Jameis Winston. It's like, oh, well, let's give him a try. He was a top pick. He was a No. 2 pick.

Trubisky spent 2021 as a backup in Buffalo and was signed as the starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022.

The NFC East is going to be dangerous this year

The entire NFC East is getting dangerous. The Beast, baby... We're Joaquin Phoenix's Joker. You guys all laughed at us last year. Now we're about to just flip out and shoot everybody.

The division was significantly better in 2021, though PFT's extreme delivery is satirical.

Streaming services have just become a more expensive version of the traditional cable package

I can't believe no one is making a big stink about the fact that cord cutting, oh, I can cut all my costs. Now you just have to buy all of the streaming services, which is exactly what cable was... Now I have Amazon Prime. I have Hulu. I have Netflix. I have Disney Plus. And then you look at it all and you're like, wait, I just have a cable package.

This is a subjective opinion on value, though widely shared by consumers and market analysts since 2021.

I think they're gonna surprise people if people forgot.

The Pacers' 2026-27 season and playoff performance will show whether they exceeded expectations.

The Nuggets' championship window is closing

I think that the Nuggets do, but this window's closing just because all this injury stuff, I think once you start to have that injury bug, it's hard to come back and just have your whole team be relatively healthy for a whole season.

The Nuggets' subsequent championship success in this roster era will determine whether the window was effectively closing.

NBA awards voting should be handled by a smaller group

Maybe you just take the pool down of the number of voters. ... I don't know. I don't know what the answer is, but I do think maybe you just take the pool down.

This is a proposed policy preference, not a claim with a single objective answer.
