That’s not supposed to be their backcourt though.

I really would look into trading Kanter to them. They need size along with some inside scoring and rebounding.

Kanter, Chi 2nd and Kuz for Shump, Frye and Nets 1st

You tell Enes that this is all about the common future, and you resign him in the summer!!

It IS by virtue of D. Wade calming JR Smith lipping off to ESPN’s Rachel Nichols about how unhappy he was that the Cavs brought in Wade but also, only a moron thinks Wade is going to last a season as a starter.

And um, NO ONE knows IF or when exactly Isiaiah Thomas will be able to play like his old self but even IF he’s 100% the Celtics know his ceiling as an undersized PG And was exploited against Washington.

I don't think Blatt would help. LeBron and the Cavs walked all over him. I doubt he'd be the guy to 'reign in Russ'.

Russ needs to be mindhacked by Phil Jackson. Doubt Melo would like that tho. :lol:

I think it's time to end this Knick Civil War. The Unicorns have won. Strike your banner men and join your brothers and sisters under the United Boroughs of West Indies and get behind K. Porzingis. :nod:

The official signing of the Peace Treaty will be held at Conrad's Bakery over Rum Cake and coffee, 299 Utica Ave, in the Freehold of Brooklyn, NY. If "Mean" Greenie behaves, we'll chip in for a Rum Cake to take home. :nod:

Oklahoma City Deep Friars (4-5) vs Portlandia Protesters (6-4): Oh my goodness, something terrible happened on Melo's way to getting a Championship ring! :lol:

Atlanta Peachtree Tea (2-8) vs Cleveland Cheaps (4-6) [Joke r/t ESPN interview Lebron/Wade Spotify]: Oh my goodness, something terrible has happened during the Cavs return trip to the NBA Finals! After Wade retires, Lebron is having him shot in the back of the barn and selling his cartilege for glue and rubber bands. :lol:

Boston "Chow-dah" (8-2) vs Orlando Shots (6-4) [Too soon?]: Pretty much the C's resolved their Horford issue. M. Morris, the brother who hates Jeff Hornacek a little less, becomes the man inside while Horford plays outside. It's worked putting Horford on Melo and other shooting forwards.

lakers are winning because of kuzma , kcp, ingram and lopez not because of lonzo ball. Lonzo ball has been playing like chit there winning despite him sucking he has nothing to do with there improvement at all.

The Cavs have been so good to us by taking Shump, JR, and now Rose. Do you think they'd be nice enough to take Sessions, too?

his usage rating this season is 28.0, last year it was 29.1, and for his career it's 31.4.

okc usage rating in order

westbrook 30.4
melo 28.0
george 27.0

I think he’s comes in under PG when all is said and done.

okay, but right now he is a primary option.

Because its his RIGHT shoulder thats injured. That means it still bothers him, its the side that he said hurt to even raise. He prob just wants to have motion going on with the left hand shots. Like it said LIGHT drills. he still has about two weeks to go before he reevaluated. Reporter is acting real Bermanesque right now.
