I want Jalen Green to pop strictly because his real life nickname is now "The ad hominem fallacy"Nav wrote: March 4th, 2025, 3:53 pm 2022-23 Offseason Questionnaire
1. Draft thoughts? Sleepers, busts, your draft, other drafts, whatever.
Didn't really pay close attention to this one. Can't wait to see Wemby boxes. Took late first round fliers on Walsh and Council. Go Hogs!
2. How do you feel about your offseason, and what are your goals for this coming season?
Pretty uneventful offseason. Retained Gafford and added Whiteside to flesh out our big depth. Signed Beasley to an LLE - hoping he can be a fine end of rotation type. Doesn't look like he's been camped yet, so that could be an interesting opportunity.
3. Thoughts on TC?
Hoping Kessler can be a top-end big butt sooner than later. Averaged 2.6 blocks and 11.6 reb per 36 as a rookie (and he's getting the rest of his blocks and def reb camped out this RC), so hoping he'll be close after this TC.
Jalen Green showed promising flashes this past season, and his TO/36 went down meaningfully (vs. his rookie year) when he wasn't playing backup PG. Hoping he'll be a starting caliber SG after this TC.
Otherwise, it would be cool if Tyus can get to A+ Outside (seems like he's on the border as is) and Turner can get to A Inside / A Def / B- Reb.
4. Who wins each division and why?
Atlantic: Knicks. Think we would have won 55+ games and the division last season if our three best players hadn't missed 80 games combined. Plus, our entire rotation (Biyombo aside) is 27 and younger, so we should hopefully improve in TC.
Central: Bulls. They nearly won 70 games last year and Luka / J-Dub are only getting better.
Midwest: Nuggets. Tough to lose Goga but the rest of the team is still awesome.
Pacific: Suns. Huge that they got Rui back. Hilarious that they have a guy named Alex Fudge.
5. Trade market has kinda screeched to a halt after a lot of moves this season. Recommend a trade for two teams outside your division.
Trae Young + Jalen Duren for DAL 27-29 FRPs + filler
6. What team will have the biggest wins delta from last year to this one (positive or negative)? Why?
Grizz - they've already begun the rebuild
7. Excluding NBA players, if you were creating a player(s) for the 24 draft how would they look (list name, age, height, weight, ratings)? Can be anything from 2024 - a pop culture figure, a character from a movie released that year, a player drafted in a different sport, your dad, whoever.
Matt Hanessian SF 6'5'' 215 31 B- B+ C+ A- B F
F Potential because he's a 31 year old rookie
8. What GM have you not heard from in a while that you want to hear on a pod? What topic/decision would you want to hear them discuss or question would you ask them? (extra credit: get them to join a pod this season)
Jack. Would love to hear him talk about his team / get his takes on the league and would be a refreshing new voice
9. Thoughts on your real life sports team(s).
I'm upset that the Giants are going after Rodgers
The Knicks can't get stops but hopefully Mitch can stay healthy enough for a deep playoff run
10. Movies, TV, books, games, whatever recommendations.
Maybe not the greatest show ever but White Lotus has been entertaining

1. Draft thoughts? Sleepers, busts, your draft, other drafts, whatever.
Didn't pay a ton of attention since I didn't have a pick. I think Wemby will be serviceable! Thought jaquez at 15 was the steal of the draft. Haven't really made my way through everyone's camps so don't check me on that.
2. How do you feel about your offseason, and what are your goals for this coming season?
Happy to have brought back Sullinger on a reasonable deal. Idk how good he is but considering I gave up a first for him like a week ago, would've been a bit pissed if he got poached.
I have no idea what my goals are. I'd like to sneak into the playoffs but don't wanna get my hopes up.
3. Thoughts on TC?
Not good. Net negative camp for my young guys. Really needed a break there. Hopefully someone in the Okongwu/Sandro/Mark Williams mix can be a serviceable starter. Hoping things under the hood got a little bit better.
4. Who wins each division and why?
Atlantic: Like the Knicks here. Should be the best team as long as they don't have the worst injury luck we've ever seen again
Central: Between the Bulls and Pacers. I think D Rose will be missed but I put this squad slightly ahead of the Pacers
Midwest: Mavs. Kyrie loves Dallas and Hoff's made some big time additions and had nice camps. Wouldn't surprise me if the Nuggets got it done, though.
Pacific: Clips. Word on the street is that a Semi-major addition is in the works.
5. Trade market has kinda screeched to a halt after a lot of moves this season. Recommend a trade for two teams outside your division.
Raptors trade Isaac Okoro to Minnesota for a 2028 First, 26, 27 Seconds, 1000 RP and filler. Jwoo probably says no.
6. What team will have the biggest wins delta from last year to this one (positive or negative)? Why?
Kings. Jesse is gonna put together a playoff squad.
7. Excluding NBA players, if you were creating a player(s) for the 24 draft how would they look (list name, age, height, weight, ratings)? Can be anything from 2024 - a pop culture figure, a character from a movie released that year, a player drafted in a different sport, your dad, whoever.
OJ Simpson, 76, 6 ft 2 in, 225 lbs, F F F F F F (he's dead)
8. What GM have you not heard from in a while that you want to hear on a pod? What topic/decision would you want to hear them discuss or question would you ask them? (extra credit: get them to join a pod this season)
Ashes. Would love to hear more draft breakdowns. Those were my favorite pods.
9. Thoughts on your real life sports team(s).
Haven't watched the bulls since pre-all star break. Probably the longest stretch of my life that I've boycotted. Just grinding tennis tape these days. Future Goat, 18 year old Brazilian Joao Fonseca is going to be a serious problem. I'm claiming him as a sports team.
10. Movies, TV, books, games, whatever recommendations.
Traitors. Severance. White Lotus. I'm so different you'll never find another girl like me.
Watched The Gorge with the chess girl and Miles Teller on Apple TV. My film snob friends say it's garbage but I'm a simple man and loved it.
Bonus: add a pic/gif of how you feel about your season
