Perpich and Ginsberg wrote about goals to broaden coverage to meet audience interest — with a shift away from having one beat reporter for each sports team, the Times reported

They want to be “telling the most compelling stories for fans across the teams in a given league, drawing on both local and national reporting expertise.”

I’m really not sure their new approach is promising for hard core sports fans.

Nah, casual observers blow calls all the time but like to feel smart by blaming it on the replay booth. They almost never blow a call.

Taking Ben isn’t worth anything.

Lol..we agree in principle but give me a break. Ben is the worst contract in the NBA right now. Kid is owed $78M and he’s unplayable. Taking that albatross off their books is worth ~ two picks.

I don’t think giving is worth much, either.

I meant to say giving them RJ isn’t worth much.

You’re gonna have to give up the whole kit and caboodle. Trade for Bridges as if he’s your last piece, or don’t bother.

I would do it. I think completes this team like Rasheed did the Pistons.

– He’s so impactful without the ball, which is exactly what you need when Randle and Brunson are on.

– He’s also so impactful with the ball, which is also what we need bc Randle isn’t consistent and Brunson can’t do it all.

– He’s big enough to form a playoff death lineup when Mitch can’t be on the floor: brunson-iq-hart-bridges-randle

– not to mention the defensive death lineup we could play w iq, bridges, hart, and robinson.

I say empty the damn cupboard for him. Trade for him like he’s peak Harden. He’s going to be a superstar soon. Just pay the price for it now.

I have to disagree Z-man. I know what I saw and the replay booth blows calls all the time.

I don’t buy that they won’t sell to us regardless of the price argument. In the real world, everything is for sale…including the white house.

#1 problem is that Brooklyn does not have their own 1RP in the next three years. Marks can’t tank and rebuild. This is why Leon would have to take Ben Simmons of their hands too, – so that Marks can rebuild via RJ, this draft, free agency & other people’s picks. (NYK + PHX).

Taking Ben is worth 2 picks…so its RJ, Obi, Grimes, expiring deals + 2 unprotected + swaps.
