Aaaaaand here's the Domas appreciation thread!
Glad to see Domas will be representing the Pacers during All-Star Weekend as well.

Domas has already risen. Some rest would be better, but let guy have some fun. Maybe Dipo will use Domas in dunking contest? Dipo will lift off from free throw line, grab the ball from Domas standing in the paint, make 180 degrees turn and reverse dunk with both elbows in the basket. Just suggestion

Some practice material:

So, just to recap -
Oladipo and Domas will BOTH be playing on All Star weekend.
And Paul George will not.

The minutes he's playing at the moment are starting to garner him some attention in the media. Won't be long before he's a household name and getting the recognition his play this season deserves.

I wonder if KP tried squeezing a 1st out of OKC as well. Maybe something like a '19 or '20 1st. Value wise at that time it still would have seemed like a steal for OKC

OKC's next 2 first round picks go to Minnesota and Orlando. So the earliest pick that KP could have gotten was in 2022. OKC can't trade any of the intervening picks because of the Stepien rule, at least as long as they remained future picks.
