But the injuries and lack of polish took the shine off.

I still hope he develops, he has the right build, seemed to work hard and have some IQ.


Yeah I like what Im seeing here. This dude is 10x more aggressive than Simms...

Nice dunks but a two year old video. What is the timing of his back surgery vs these highlights? Can he play SL this summer?


Good questions, not sure and I don't think anyone one of us really knows. He just may be the new Sims.

Like we fleeced the Nets? Like we fleeced the Wolves? Like Leon fleeced Evan Fourniers agent? Like Leon fleeced Kemba Walkers agent?

Who exactly has Leon fleeced? The Raptors trade was good, but Leon is the clown who got fleeced into extending R_.

The Pacers who got Obi for nothing while we were starved for bench depth, all so his kid could get his agents fee on an extension from the Pacers, was that a fleecing?

What a crock of ****.

There is a Kardashian or Diddy joke in there somewhere.

I'll go with the light work though: More foreign busts than a Victoria Secret catalog!

Players have played with back issues before. Gallinari comes to mind and he wasn't a superstar, but he was solid and had a respectably long career. .
Bill Clinton slept with an intern. A consenting adult and he got impeached and nearly disbarred as a result. Donald Trump went to parties showcasing underaged women brought in as basically prostitutes, and he says it's nothing.

Double standard?
