They got rid of tony to make Kawhi happy? Crazy... But ruthlessly smart.

But also the beginning of the end of San Antonio.

Where does Manu fit in all this? He took shots too in the media. Are they going to kill off him too out the door so they can keep Leonard? I mean push Tonu and Manu out and then throw him the supermax. I'll laugh if that happens, he signs, and then he still pulls a Dwight in Orlando and says trade me or I' won't play :lol:

Melo's Nunbers

37.5% from 3 in Catch and Shoot situations
41.9% from 3 when he's wide open (closest defender 6+ feet away)
169 threes made (most in career)

He also shot the fewest 2 point field goals of his career in OKC at 694 (besides 15 where he played 50 games) which further highlights the fact Donovan misused the **** out of him

- Melo increased his spot ups this year by 65% over his last year in NY
- Roll Man down 290% of what it was previously
- Iso down 15%
- PnR Ball Handler down 30%.
- Handoffs down 78%.

Come to a team that can use you and someone who knows you in both Luke and Lebron

Mitch is always willing to pay a name from yesteryear and call it an offseason.

I should say "sometimes"

Someone should have slapped him for taking Mozgov back again though. Are they trying to push Kemba out?

Kemba is a solid as hell player, damn good catch and shoot, stays healthy, slashes, and produces every year.

But he should look out at Mitch and MJ then go peace

It's funny though that Dwight got traded for Mozgov but Dwight was the one who ended up getting waived right after.

The Trae Young experience is going to be a fascinating thing to watch this season.

Mitch go Mitch with Bismack for Mozgov.

MAgic got Grant to start at PG I think, so Thomas just lost a possible home and place to showcase himself.

Hardly shocking. Some really promising offensive players on the suns. Defense is a concern though.

Well it's an offensive minded league. Great offense gets you a lot more wins than great defense. Harden is the perfect example of that.

You start making money when you start making shots. Everything else is gravy.
