I think there are probably some advanced stats out here that could prove his beard already gives more effort on D hey the rest of him

Have another year like he did this year, and hope that nobody else has a truly historic year, and does something that hasn't happened in 50 years.

Smells Lakers

As much as I hate the Celtics, I hope they get PG with a contract extension because I hate the Lakers more.

The number of agent initiated rumors with massive lists of teams allegedly after their player is getting to be amusing.

All the lists have the Sixers, Nets, and Kings on them too. Which happen to be the three teams with the most cap room. I'm sure that's coincidental.

I would take Iggy on a 3 year deal, but I think he will have better options.

Before we got Fultz, I was onboard with the idea of spending big on Lowry or Jrue. Now that we have Fultz though, I'm not sure that I want us to spend big on anyone this year unless they take very short deals.

Fultz allows us to be more selective on possible FAs. Iggy could be a valuable piece to give us a good defender at SF. Iggy and Covington would make a good rotation. He probably has a few good years left. Iggy, Beverley, and Gerald Henderson seem to be possible FAs we could use.

First part goes into Wiggins' defense. He is truly a dumpster fire on that end. If Thibs and Butler can't get him to buy in on defense, then no one can.

For me he's near Javale McGee on IQ

Basketball players should be required to take the Wonderlic test. NFL players take the test and they don't have to manage nearly the same amount of variables, aside from QBs.

Knicks and Phil Jackson parting ways on Wed.

Disappointing in terms of there's a chance the Knicks will now have a competent GM; Dolan does not have the best record though with his hires. Sam Hinkie will inevitably be tossed around as a name - seems a very unlikely marriage though given Dolan's track record.

Its abysmal timing after a draft in which they had a top 10 pick - I think most would have had DSJ ahead of Frank N as a prospect; even though Frank N has a lot going for him starting his NBA career.

Thankfully he didn't trade Porzingis away.

Boston should have squeezed a deal for Porzingis into the window that Phil was still making the decisions.

I wonder if staying with the 76ers and getting more playing time would have worked out better long term for him.

On the other hand, he's 24 with $6 mil in the bank.

We have a team option with Henderson.

I still don't quite get why we traded KJ for Isaiah Canaan. Both of them were equally bad and at least KJ could give you some highlights throughout the game
