Really talented player- the Manhattan Nix won't win anything until he's their No1 or No2 option.

I've been saying that for awhile now. It's very clear that he should be the defacto #1 option on the team. Even if Melo wants to bring up the ball, the first check on offense should be to get him the ball and let him decide what should be done.

He should be getting at least 10-15 1st option touches per game, so the transition will be much easier for him to deal with. Kinda like how San Antonio helped build up Kawhi over the last few seasons.


yup... but even as a 1 or 2 they wont be good until melo is a 3. someone who plays off ball. he is a stud in the olympics because if you give him open shots or rotate to him he will destroy. but with too much volume he does too much... as great an offensive player as he is, he isnt quite KD or lebron where he can carry you.

would love him but bad fit as a trade partner with phikky. they have like 372 bigs already so lopez doesnt work and we dont have many in their prime top end starters.

bogs, brook, rhj wont interest them. maybe a 3 team deal?

The NBA quietly changed trade rules over the offseason to allow teams to simultaneously owe two picks with a "two years after" language attached.

In the past, a team could owe only one such pick.

The Los Angeles Clippers, for example, can trade a 2021 or 2022 first round pick despite owing a lottery protected pick to the Raptors and a first round pick that goes to the Celtics "two years after" the pick to Toronto is conveyed.

Due to the Stepien rule, teams cannot trade first round picks in consecutive years.

Moving him to PG full time was the smartest move any coach has made with him in his career. His numbers are jaw dropping

Milsap may haul tail out of there if there's something going on, but i doubt he'd sign with us unless we show some serious improvement once Lin comes back til season's end.

Poor conduct is one thing, his 8.7 PTs, 39% FG, 63% FT is even worse.

Rondo is definitely a big no-no for the new Marks culture and Kenny motion offense.

Lin yes.

The Pacers should never have fired Frank Vogel.

Real stark contrast from the volume scorers of the league - the Warriors are stacked w/ one of the most efficient backcourt + SF of all time

Just heard Haywoode Workman reffing the Wiz game

Isn't it pretty rare for ex-NBA players to become NBA refs?
