Presti is just trying to piss off Shai so that he demands a trade and Presti has an excuse to get even more draft picks.

Reading Zach Lowe’s League Pass rankings made me realize that I’m strangely excited to watch Houston. They have a lot of players I like & the new vets + Ime will be an interesting chemistry experiment.

I think Jabari Smith is about to take a leap & Eason, Green, and Amen in the open court will be electric.

Warriors is deep

Curry/CP3
Klay/GP2
Wiggins/Moody
Draymond/Kuminga
Looney/Saric or Trayce Jackson Davis

Thoughts and prayers for loyal 76ers fans after the Neil Olshey hire.

We had a GM with a burner account ripping on our star player. Neil can’t hurt us.

Luckily not anywhere near the same role he had in Portland.

I wonder if we're about to see MarJon Beauchamp solidify himself as a rotation player this year. Bucks would be insanely deep, if that's the case.

Pretty incredible. I’m curious to see how he deals with true NBA full speed physicality. Teams are gonna send guys like Draymond, PJ, Aaron Gordon, etc to get under him & be hyper physical.

They could have given Niang a jersey and shorts in his size

For a team so promising, they are getting worked right now. Adams has 2 years left; Clarke with 4.

A handful of 50+ win seasons is kind of deceptive because Memphis has been quietly a massive treadmill squad since 2010. It's a shame they never truly got over the hump into contender status.

Memphis is a franchise that is thrilled just to have a star player and win 50 games.

Memphis should be one of the teams active for Star power with some offense. They should use some of that draft capital... Maybe for James? :nod:
