Siakam doin work out there tonight. He’s the sort of name I’ve always underrated, but he keeps outplaying my expectations. Helps that he fits that Indy team perfectly and Haliburton makes it all click.

Thats why he insisted being traded to IND over SAC. A 3pt shooting pig plus a PG that likes to pass is perfect for a slashing PF like him

Pretty far...I grew up in NY and my brother went to Butler and Indiana U....long drive, but you can get there with a couple of connecting flights and a short trip on a Combine Harvester. :lol:

I feel the same...kind of an easy "star" to ignore but he quietly gets it done every night for years.

Knicks are at Peak/Prime with core.

Replace Thibs or Towns/Hart.

Knicks look tired from all the minutes they played this season.

I don't think the Magic do a good enough job keeping them out.

There are very few home games in ORL without an invading party...FO/Martins clearly recognizes the value of ORL tourist packages - "While visiting the happiest place on Earth, come see your home team whup the Magic"

Enough winning changes any strategy, but there are so many guided tourist groups trooping around the arena before game time.

What i learned in my experience visiting *tourist* cities in different countries is...money trumps all. Local industries gives us tourist the red carpet over their local fellow citizens.

Magic org sells overprice tickets to tourists visitig Orlando... what a surprise. Lol

Jealous of Indy. Just smart moves all over the place to build that team. Meanwhile, we're here hoping Weltman brings in Poole.

I want to cry in a corner...

Poole was a big part of every playoff series when the Warriors won that championship.

Around 22 games 51/38/92 around 15 ppg

It's mostly just a narrative about Poole. Like Kyrie had a negative mage, and he went to Dallas and has been a great teammate.
