I still believe lebron will relocate teams once more to increase his title chances. AD has all the talent in the world but not the mentality or health to lead the lakers with an aging james. He is a FA the summer of 2023 i believe.

With the way Cavs are playing and compiling talent, maybe he will end his career there at home.

WCJ doing work against the Jazz.

18/9/3 with a block and 4/5 from 3 at the start of the 4th.

He absolutely is developing well this season, before this game he was shooting 36% from 3 at 3.6 attempts per game.

Also playing the 4 next to Bamba, happy for the dude.

He could start putting up Vuc like all star numbers in that pressure free environment.

This mindset is so silly to me, there is no such thing as a pressure free environment in professional sports. Just because it's not an LA, New York, Miami, Chicago type market does not mean there is no pressure.

Ricky Rubio is playing out of his mind right now.

Okay I'm loving watching the Magic, Cole Anthony has balls of steel and Hampton has played an excellent 4th quarter.

I probably should have used Green font haha

Evan Mobley is easily the best rookie

Rubio is who I wanted the Bulls to get in the off-season, but that's before they made the move for Ball and eventually signed DeMar.

I have my issues with Ball, but I don't know if Rubio would be an upgrade. Maybe. And I don't dislike Ball either...I just think he's capable of doing better.

Mobley with 26 points 9 rebounds and 5 assist against the Knicks. The kid looks like a stud the difference between him and Wiseman is astounding.

What the heck is going on in Cleveland right now. I see that Rubio completely snapped. 37 pts? wow. I know its early but they are clearly not playing like a bottom feeder this year.

People better start putting some respect on the East.

I know Rubio is a good defender, but I don't think he's as active as Ball, and definitely not as switchable as Lonzo has shown. And like you I see Ball as improving as the season goes on. Add in the age difference, and I'm happy with Ball.

Knicks fans are ready to trade Randle now like Bulls fans ready to trade Vuc.

I really think Bulls are fine as long as Vuc starts playing like he played with Bulls last year after the trade. If he starts playing like that offensively, we will be pretty good team. Just hoping that he is in a slump and will get out of it soon.

That's so awesome for Rubio, he's been tossed around the league for so long. And he isn't even starting for Cleveland.

He was being defended by Derrick Rose it looks like, so I don't know if that had something to do it with or not.

NBA is really topsy turvy this year. ORL beating Utah, Cavs taking down the Knicks. If Wendell had just had even one game like he had tonight while he was in Chicago, maybe he never would have been traded. I hope we weren't the reason he sucked while here.

Honestly they might be better off starting Rubio over Sexton at this point.

Donovan, Ingles, Bogdanovic and Clarkson went 6-35 from 3. That's just insanely bad.

I don't know if it's the new ball, the new physicality rules, or what's going on but this year definitely feels different.
A lot of big men seem to be having big seasons as well, Valanciunas is averaging 19 & 14 over a 10 game sample size. Gobert averaging 16 rpg.

I wonder if bully ball is back. What a year to decide to go smallball :roll:

Injuries and a bad coach surely didn’t help him. I still never liked the guy but this wasn’t the best situation for anyone.
