I don't remember D12 being in Houston that long. Though he's technically had more success than us since leaving Orlando - it seems pretty clear that he's a diva and most teams realize he's not worth the hassle after 1 year.

Otto porter is looking good, it s a shame that the timeline didn't fit well between him and Orlando as I still think Otto is the perfect SF for our team

GS got another steal :-(

Timeline talk si bunch of crap. Orlando nor any other rebuilding team has timeline, they will get good when they collect enough good players, regardless of age. Thing with most vets is they don't want to waste their life on rebuilding teams so they gravitate toward contenders. That's easly one of biggest NBA parity issues along with waive of vets midseson.
Lakers 2021-22 roster now has 7 players that are or were allstars at one point.

Orlando, Houston and OKlahoma have 0 allstars combined.

different timeline means:

doesn't make sense for otto to waste time with rebuilding team
Doesnt make sense for Orlando to spend a lot of cash on Otto when we are still years away from contending

Issue is that Otto is just 28 years old ,by adding 2,3 players of his caliber team gets exponentionally better, but rebuilding teams devalue roster on purpose to lose as many games.
Normally teams were tanking in past after allstar break, now we have teams that are new tanking starts in offseason.

If the Feds want in, that there are 18 former-players involved means this is a conspiracy. That's RICO. That's a dime or more of hard-Jail time.

Well, the Jon Teske era is over. He was waived. This speaks poorly for his chance to make the Lakeland Magic. And frankly playing professional basketball in the US ever again.

Now to the Jeremiah Tilmon era; he was signed to fill that roster slot. He is a much, much better fit with what the Magic is trying to accomplish. His role will be to set screens and rebound: that's it. He could be an interesting player to develop in the G-league.

Trey Murphy absolutely lighting it up from deep for the Pelicans. Looking like the early steal of the draft. Him and NAW are in for some good seasons I reckon.

Poole went from one of the worst players his rookie year to looking like the 3rd splash brother.

True. Some hot shooting going on.

I’m trying to plan my fantasy draft order now - I wonder if he’ll secure himself a bigger role? Anyone know when Klay is due back?

Kyrie Irving considering walking away from 70M+ simply because he does not want a provenly effective medical treatment. That's insanity.

I think NY will allow him to play soon. Politically it's a losing situation for the mayor of NY, and I'm sure that's his main concern.

The rules don't even make sense. If the rest of the teams were unvaccinated, they could still play there, but Kyrie couldn't.

Isaac and Kyrie have both had Covid, and natural immunity is much stronger than the vaccine. Even if you get the vaccination, you can still catch the virus and spread it.
