just happy Chuck didnt pick us to win it all. although to be fair he was one of the few tv personalities to predict Chicago being real good.

Nets don't scare me much tbh. Not having Kyrie is too much to overcome imo.

I know it sounds like madness, but would you even want to build around that guy?

Already porking out at a young age. A crazy ball dominant style that, IMO generally isn’t a fun watch (I enjoy seeing multiple players involved). Maybe the latter is unfair seeing as he has never played with another star...but idk. Seems like that is his style. I don’t know as it’s as big of a slam dunk as you’d think...at least for me.

Do I sign him if he wants to come? Of course. Do I sell the farm for him? I’m not so sure, I don’t think I do.

eh, he needs help. He'd be **** awesome as a Derozan replacement in 3 years salary cap **** aside, he's a baller and I have faith he'll get it together. Takes some guys a few years to find their ideal playing weight.

Luka needs to hire Jokic's trainer and nutritionist.

Luka’s career is at an interesting place. In theory he should be running a free flowing offense as a facilitator. But he does not play on a team even remotely structured for that and his coach sucks. The whole organization looks like a bit of a dumpster fire lately.

Moreover, Luka is being a prima donna.

The question is if you put him in the right circumstances with different teammates would he fulfill his potential as a historically elite leading man who can get everyone involved in a fluid style of play?
