Don’t see any way Tatum doesn’t easily make the all star team. Probably going to be considered best player on that team soon enough, he’s something else.

I don’t know anything about the PHX coach, but judging by the NBATV Open Court I just watched, I wouldn’t be surprised if they make big strides.

Klay Thompson will not take discount. Welcome to LA, Klay!

Man, how'd you like to be KD's fat, short, untalented brother?

That dunk on Embid last night was Shaqesque. Tweet that Jo-el!

Outta here could mean any team but yeah, if lil bro has inside on KD’s intentions and just leaked it, Durant should be pretty mad at him.

Dlo really made the leap this year huh? Are they driving the tank in game one or why the hell are the Nets not starting Dinwiddie?

Looks like Dinwiddie will close the game.....which means more than starting

It looks like Melo has infected another team.... at least 1 game in anyway.

When had Klay taken a discount before? He hadn't which is what made the whole premise stupid. He will get paid. Iggy will be sacrificed and Livingston too, but Klay and Draymond will get paid

Nice game for Randle tonight.

As the third big because he is not better than AD/Mirotic. And he won't score like this every night either since Jrue used up his energy on D ... He excels in essentially the role Luke put him last year. They were awful this preaseon trying to start his ass

To me, RAndle is the perfect third frontline player for AD and Mirotic. Randle can bang down low and rebound offensively for all three. That leaves two deadly bigs free to roam and open for putbacks and threes. Julius can hold his own in the post and defends well in the post and on the perimeter on switches. It’s a very good threesome for them.

But they will miss Rondo and AD will demand out eventually.

His dad will be proud no matter what, but can you imagine if Klay retired a Laker champion?

Never said he took discounts or what premise you’re talking about, but yes, he’ll surely get paid. Great defender, best catch and shoot player in the league.

Overreaction Wed:
-Bamba looked efficient and capable for the Magic.
-Gordon and Randle both look like guys who just needed patience and min with strong openers after strong seasons last year
-Kawhi is back
-Melo should have pulled a Vontae Davis and retired at halftime. If there was a 1 game annulment clause for FA pickups D'Antoni would have put that puppy back in the window. Yes Melo it's challenging to come off the bench... if you aren't as good as other people on the second unit and just realized it.

Yeah, pre season right

He will be a contender for 6th man of the year
He's 23yo, he will improve.

Let's say he buys a jumpshot (made 2 yesterday) than it won't look that good from us.

Rondo is 32, Payton can replace his production even though not the same leader. It's AD team anyway.

guys, we wouldn't have been able to afford randle long term anyway

besides, we got a more talented lefty in beasley anyway

I like our supposed future players in JC and Julius are starting to be effective in the roles they're meant to be. Probably time to accept DLo is the same.

Would be awesome if those three battled for 6MOTY.

Exactly, 6th man...problem is, they all wanted to be/thought they were #1 here...

Allonzo Trier is a baller. Can’t believe he was undrafted. What a pickup.
