Around the league 2017-2018

I think that's what the Bulls as a whole are right now, a bunch of solid rotation players.

We can take 1 off there hands for hometown hero Big Jah!

The Lakers are heading to Boston on Wednesday.

Who would you rather have between Brandon Ingram and Jaylen Brown?

Brandon Ingram.

Tatum is out here winning games for the Celtics in crunch time and was 3-5 from 3 lol. Keep balling out young man and show BC how dumb he was to trade up. People said he couldn’t shoot 3s and didn’t have the range. I thought his shooting was real. He might shoot over 50% from 3 this year. Tatum is playing great while Fultz forgot how to shoot. Great job BC. Big dummy.

Ummmm... Injured shoulder... Didn't forget how to shoot... Also wonder when you stop repeating yourself

Big Ballers don't pay, when a big baller sees something he wants he just takes it.

Jokic looks like he goes into the barber shop and says "Hey, have you ever seen Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire? Give me the Victor Krum."

Him and his father are idiots, Papi Ball coming out saying it’s no big deal, lol. China doesn’t even have due process, they don’t play and shoplifting over there is a big deal.

That kid is lucky his bro and Dad are famous and rich, cause if it were one of us, it would get really ugly, really quick.

What should be more illegal, stealing in China or Lonzo Ball's shooting form?

My vote goes to trading up for a PG who forgot how to shoot.

Lakers didn't trade for Ball. Seems like you didn't understand the options.

I will never understand the Fultz hate. Never.

About a year ago some posters thought Embiid and Porzingis could not coexist and some said Porzingis’ best position is center. Do people still think Embiid and Porzingis couldn’t coexist? I think they could mesh VERY well together. And adding Simmons to the mix would have given us the longest team in the league and 3 unicorns on the same squad. Embiid would be the center. Porzingis would be the PF. Simmons would be the PG. How can that not work?

1. It could absolutely work, unless your playing GSW.

2.Why does this continue to be a debate? If we are going back into time and taking Porzingis, getting Simmons is not a lock.

It is a lock we get Simmons. We won 10 games. The next worst team won 18. Porzingis was not winning us 8 or 9 more games.

Your going back in time and taking a better player but negating any other possibilities that could have effected landing the #1 pick. Porzingis could have possibly won us 8 or 9 games....Hinkie could have not been fired for landing The Zinger, so the NBA may have not gifted us the #1 pick for that and the Lakers end up with Simmons. Embiid might have not gotten hurt a 2nd time. The world may have ended.

Drafting Porzingis doesn’t change Embiid getting hurt or not. And there is no gift for getting the top pick. It’s a lottery and we won it with the worst record. And Hinkie not getting fired if he drafts Porzingis doesn’t change anything about the lottery. The worst team got the pick which was us. KP was not winning 8 or 9 more games. Not a chance. The world would be exactly where it is today. Come on. Be serious. And I fail to see how Porzingis Embiid and Simmons gives us a bad matchup against GS. I think that lineup gives GS a bad matchup for them against us.

I know the G-League can give up some empty stats, but if we can move Okafor, or some other player, for picks/cash considerations, I'd take a look at Nigel Hayes:

Watch on YouTube

He's averaging 25 ppg in three games on 81% FT (5 FTA per game), 64% from 3 (4.7 3PA per game) and 61% FG overall. He's always been extremely talented with long arms (7'3 winspan). He's definitely an attractive role player off the bench. Would give him a contract to play some with the 87ers and maybe play with us as PF depth.

[Kobblehead]

Porzingis leads the NBA in usage (35.6), but is only tied for 46th in value generated (0.3).

[TTP]

There aren't many examples of powerful athletes like Jaylen Brown being able to be 40% three point shooters.

If that shot is real (I'm skeptical), I have to give the edge to him.

If the shooting is real, it's not close. I'm very skeptical as well.
