When the Hell Is It Going to Be Our Turn? 90's Hoops Redux and The Week in Ricky

May 24, 2025

Draft evals with The Danny, and a few scenarios that Mike (understandably) isn’t ready to fully discuss yet.
The guys sort through a flooded inbox of trade ideas involving the third pick and Mad Max and J Edwards down in Dallas sharpening the iron.
Believe in Derek Queen (Maybe!)
AU on how fast we all talked ourselves back into a team that had multiple 5 game losing streaks.
MOC with an in depth pros and cons for a guy we haven’t even come close to being tired of discussing yet.

At least one person thinks the Sixers will listen (and only listen) to offers for the third pick and avoid swapping it – unless it involves a big (and talented) name in return.
Quentin Grimes will have his suitors but the path to the Sixers retaining him looks fairly simple (Thank you Bird Rights).
8 names to familiarize yourself with should this pick stay in Sixers possession
We’re at the six-week post surgery mark for Joel Embiid’s knee and should expect an update, which begs the question, would you even care about whatever the team says now? It matters in the grand scheme, but we really won’t know how successful things were until we see the big fella on the court.

If you’re sick of third pick scenarios already, just think about how you’d feel if it landed in the 7-10 and we’re standing around, hands in pockets excited for the buyout market.
Good for the Pacers, but man when the fuck is it going to be our time, sick of this shit.
The league is in much better shape when the Knicks are contenders (don’t worry I already told myself to fuck off).
The irony of all that is the East is still wide open and one semi healthy MCL away from me being all the way back in.
SGA deserved MVP, man please stop overthinking it.
