I would expect a lot of 'injuries', and fast.
OKC 2.5 games back from Orlando at 4, it will be interesting to see if the league does anything when the rest of the floor product starts to look like what OKC is putting out there.

That's a crazy gamble for Chicago, what if Lavine gets hurt?
If LaVine gets hurt then it hurts the pick the Magic get....Spoiler:

With the LaVine news, here is the 11 games with Chicago Vuc splits
https://www.nba.com/stats/vs/advanced/#!?TeamID=1610612741&VsPlayerID=202696&Season=2020-21&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&LastNGames=11
The defense is 14.6 rating worse with Vuc on the floor than off, and the team's net rating is 18.1 points worse.
I panned the trade hard, but it has gone so much worse than I expected.

Likely a very small stake but should be good for the team. I don't think any of us saw *that* coming

On a totally unrelated note, the Utah Jazz are now my least favorite NBA franchise.

I think this is great for the Association and while Utah feels pretty random, I understand options may be limited and if as reported he gets to be pretty involved in operations and that's what he wants his next step to me, then good for him. Certainly can't hurt Utah with recruiting.

I pulled this from Basketball Insiders
Basketball Executives:
Arturas Karnisovas — executive vice president of basketball operations
Marc Eversley — general manager
Pat Connelly — vice president of player personnel
JJ Polk — assistant general manager
Steve Weinman — assistant general manager
Brian Hagen — associate general manager
Jim Paxson — director of pro personnel
Doug Collins — senior advisor of basketball operations
John Paxon — senior advisor of basketball operations
There are some Executives (Jim Paxson, Doug Collins and John Paxson) that I haven't been impressed with over the years and I wonder what the setup actually is in that FO. Did Karnisovas really want to trade for Vucevic or was there some stuff going on behind the scenes?
When Golden State was considering a trade for Love, Jerry West made it known that he wasn't in favor of it. No idea if anybody in the Chicago FO tried to standup and oppose the trade for Vucevic. I understand about Karnisovas wanting to move up and be in charge of a team, but having legacy people (Paxson, Collins and Paxson) in the FO might be difficult to overcome.
