[@edzebes]

Nobody had accountability in Sacramento during those years. It's only Boogie you hear about though. Tyreke would not run plays. He would be zoned out some games. The coach threw Cousins under the bus, said he was being traded without any authority to say so and instead offiring him or suspending Cousins, they just did one game off for Cousins and put them back together in a disastrous scenario. Then you got some stability and order there with Malone, so they trade Isaiah Thomas for nothing because the GM had a vendetta against him & the coach, but the team still manages to get dragged into a winning record to start the season until Cousins gets sick, and they fire the coach. That left shrapnel and anger all over the team for years. George Karl was a nightmare. Cousins gets hate for expressing what everyone was feeling all those years.

[@jordandavis152]

Just how it goes in the sport. These days kids play games and tournaments year round, and start playing 82 game seasons at age 19. You gotta be incredibly lucky to avoid injury anymore.

[@fortynights1513]

@@75aces97Not to mention the pace of the game is faster than in the 90’s and 00’s.

[@75aces97]

@@fortynights1513 pace is certainly a factor, but I'm convinced frequent minutes during developmental years is the bigger factor. Through the 1990s at least 40 guys played all 82 games, at least 10 of them were over 30. Even future hall of famers played 80 games into their 30s routinely. By 2005 only 26 players played all 82, and only 3 30-somethings. And it's dwindled since then. In 2022 only 5 guys played 82, only one who was 30. When that generation of players who entered the draft after 1 year, or skipped college altogether, hit their 30s, not many of them could still hack 80 games anymore. That extra repetitive stress in their youth causes problems down the road. More Achilles tears, more ACL tears, bone spurs.

[@fortynights1513]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@75aces97So after the mid 2000’s, we saw more players who came into the league with more mileage on them because they’d put in more minutes when training? Also, I looked at the 2007-08 season (which had 19 players start 82 games, and still 33 players start 80 or more). That season had nine players start 80+ games who were 30 or older, and none of those nine were playing power forward or center (back when positions were more clearly defined in general), and all but two of them were point guard or shooting guard. Perhaps the players who were taller aged less gracefully?

I don't know what he did in Miami to get on Spolstra's bad side, but he was legitimately good defender in his earlier Miami days who could shoot 60% from the field. There could have been some real value with him if you tried to build a team similar to the late 2000s Magic.

Cousin's has never been reliable really. Hayward before the injury was kind of poster boy good behaviour and whatnot. That's pretty valuable to teams who pay these guys alot.

Will Thompson I think top end talent boogie has the edge for sure, he’s almost unicorn level where he has some major skill for a center, but the Kings tried everything they could to get boogie to work, drafted and traded for players based on his skill set, he had a role in coaching decisions even, the only time boogie didn’t agree with what management did, the firing of Mike Malone, it caused him to leave... so it’s not like the Kings werent trying to make him work out there

[@juanjaramillo96]

The Kings ruined Cousins's career and idk how you can argue otherwise.

[@slow-roll]

A disaster organization that was Sacramento back then was definitely not a good fit for the immature Boogie. But don’t assume that Boogie had no responsibility for where he is today. As talented as Boogie was to watch, it was equally, and at times more frustrating, to see him pout and cry like a baby every single game. He needed a more stable & mature organization like the Spurs to teach him responsibility and accountability. 🤷‍♂️

When Favors came out, people were comparing him to Duncan, I remember that clearly.

[@juanjaramillo96]

Oh shit, I actually remember this one!

[@GoRavens520]

Bill needs to bring this back and go all the way to 2015.

[@Garrettm31]

did bill just threaten to take Hayward over John Wall? i’m starting to understand why people hate on celtics fans 😂😭

[@chrisguy9017]

Hayward doesnt go over cousins

[@nasholston5112]

It only took 2 mins for Bill to bring up the Celtics unwarranted 😂. No Jaylen Brown is not Paul George

[@razkable]

bill legit just does these drafts to hate on lebron mention his clipper fandom and bring up the celtics ..i swear...thats what happens every draft...hees pretty ignorant as is ryen on everything else

[@mofocardinal]

Avwry Bradley's ideal backcourt mate is a big playmaking SG. Sounds like James Harden.

[@ohkay2360]

Drop off at number 5. But the audio really picks up.

[@kyeh8445]

Wish they kept doing these

[@kellywalsh24]

can we get concepcion or O'Shaughnessy on one of these instead of russillo

[@kellywalsh24]

*honestly anyone besides russillo

[@joshuaasmith]

100% agree

[@jasonl7937]

I enjoy Zach Lowe or Chad Ford. But almost anyone other than Russilo would work for me.

[@ethanniedorowski6020]

Go home with that... 3r is the man

[@nimishtodi5614]

This isn't open mic night, Russillo's singular talking point of talking about how a strawman media narrative is inaccurate is too valuable to The Ringer business

[@grindhardsportsnation]

Wall and Beal or Lillard and McCollum? Who would u rather have?

[@JayTheRealest1]

*No way in hell I'm taking Hayward over Cousins.*

[@d63810728]

only way is due to locker leadership

[@dbag3345]

He's a brat

[@robesterd8132]

@@dbag3345 He’s a great player who played on shit teams. Hayward is just a soft player who’s a good starter.

[@AdamRaia]

I wish they played the whole podcast and not just the redraft section.

[@2160michael]

Literally not a single mention of Make Em Dance Lance Stephenson.....interesting.

[@thomascrowniii1693]

At the 15 minute mark Bill says one absolute truth; stop using statistics to make a case for how good a player is. Numbers in losses aren't an achievement

[@ianboehme9583]

What is this? Open mic night?

[@randyp8849]

3 of the top 5 played on the same college team.
