The reason the NBA has bigs ……. Real Bigs. Is cause most of them do 60% of the dirty work. Rim protection is dirty work. They take most of the banging and physicality of the game. There is an art to dealing with this. Guys like Draymond are genius at it. Unfortunately undersized bigs like Green. Even today where there is less PT for true bigs. Gets more wear and tear at their position. These players pay a price. Warriors just don’t understand that. Wagonneers don’t have that vision. Real centers even playing 20 mins a game. Help prolong careers of 4s and 3s. Protects them from injuries. By taking more banging. By rim protection. Keeping players out the paint. This is why passing on a free pick like Raynaud. For a team that needs a true center. Is a real problem. A true center is an asset to any 15 man roster. Why are the Pacers looking at Missi. Wagonneers don’t learn till it’s too late. Just like you blew it with Wiseman and Kuminga. You passed on a free pick Center Maxime Raynaud …..

Clarkson could be well received in Orlando as Jones should be traded as well as Jonathan Isaac, none of which are contributing to the Magic cause.

In reply to Buying buckets. You're not calling spade is a spade. You are a Lebron hater and you're acting like it, lol

In reply to KnickerbockerAl. i am asking for a real starting center. Not another back up center. they guy can't play defense. he is horrible on defense and wouldn't take place of either Post or TJD. SMH raynaud is not good will be overseas playing in Europe very soon.

After winning Indiana the first Natty in its history, quarterback Fernando Mendoza has sent a clear message to NFL teams. Taking an underpar College Football program and take it all the way to a Natty is stuff of legends. Hence, Fernando Mendoza‘s stock is at an all-time high. Also, winning the Heisman helps, but now the quarterback is setting his sights into the next level. He sent the NFL a clear message of what’s next. In an Instagram post, Fernando Mendoza announced that he will be entering the NFL Draft. Mendoza was already the favorite to go first overall this upcoming draft and rumors about the Raiders really wanting him had just grown more and more after the Natty. Mendoza ended his 2025 season with a 72% pass completion, 3,535 yards, led the country with 41 touchdowns and only threw six picks. The QB also led the country with a 182.9 rate and led the Big Ten in yards per attempt too. The Raiders need to do some work before drafting Mendoza It’s pretty much a done deal that the Raiders will draft Mendoza. However, this team needs more than just a quarterback to go back to its winning ways. The fact is they need to find a head coach, an offensive coordinator and reestructure this thing from top to bottom. Tom Brady, co-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders Tom Brady is the co-owner of the team, so the rebuild will be fast, as he doesn’t like losing at football. He is in charge, alongside general manager John Spytek, of looking for a new head coach to take the reigns of the team and likely coach Mendoza for the next few years. In fact, Mendoza also hinted at his desired destination in the NFL. The Raiders play in the toughest division in football While some might say the NFC North is a tough division, and it is, the AFC West is just a plain war. The Kansas City Chiefs are rebounding after missing the playoffs this year but with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, they are perennial contenders. The Broncos are playing the AFC Championship this season and there is no reason to believe that they’ll fall down all of a sudden. The other team is the Chargers, who have a top-5 QB in Justin Herbert, a top-tier HC in Jim Harbaugh, a solid roster and looking to get over the hump in the playoffs. Hence, the Raiders need to make good decisions and do them fast.
