This is a guy I liked a lot in that 2019 NBA Draft. Things didn't work out for him in Indiana. But he's proven to be an above average backup Center for the Magic.

If we move on from Capela, Goga Bitadze could be a solid addition playing behind an undersized Center like Okongwu.

What a weird approach among professionals...especially since Mo was traded away.

So.
Mean. :cry:

This is a guy I like for us. Tough, hard nosed player who's somewhow developed into a Draymond-Type player: Secondary playmaker, above average defender, glue guy with all the intangibles good teams should be looking for.

He'd go crazy playing alongside Trae, but would likely mesh well with Bogdan.

It is a very underwhelming return for OG. I don't understand the love for RJ Barrett. He is below average defensively and is a chucker offensively. He is a bad contract. IQ wants to get paid this offseason and NYK wasn't going to do it. Will Toronto?

Knicks had no intentions on signing RJ. He needs to come off the bench since he's not a productive starter. They also had no intention of signing Immanuel Quickley who's been reported to expecting $20m or more per season.

Toronto won the trade.

Lebron's birthday three point shot that the refs called his foot on the line. Lebron proceeded to call the refs out on social media and show an image of his foot behind the line.

Toes touched during the rest of his shooting motion. Keep lying Lebron and trying to manipulating the league.

Trae Young even responded on Lebron's page "Refs gonna ref"

Indiana just beat Milwaukee in back to back games.
Indiana appears to be a big problem. They've now won 5 straight games.
What if this team became bold and traded for say Anthony Davis to play the 4/5?

And they're doing it the way we're supposed to be doing it.

All high flying offense with absolutely no defense.

Malik Beasley would be a nice addition to our team if we can sign him this off-season. He will want to start like he's doing for Milwaukee this season. I don't believe he leavea Milwaukee but if he does I hope we contact his agent Brian Jungreis.

It's amausibg that we pay certain players $20 million or more and Malik signed a one year, $2,709,849 contract.

Keegan Murray is becoming a mild star this season and has plenty of room to develop into so much more.

Scoring 47 points already this season.
