My both D-Mitch is simply killing it for Utah. Looks like Damian Lillard 2.0 out there.

Celtics lose again. They're bad. Kyrie is atrocious in 4th quarters. Missed a game tying shot at the end as expected.

Cavs lost to the Pacers, so obviously we have no chance.

The Kings have given JaKarr Sampson a chance to show what he’s capable of providing and the versatile 24-year-old hasn’t disappointed. “He has a body that we need – an athletic, 6-foot-8 guy who can play a couple of positions,” head coach Dave Joerger told Alex Kramers of the team’s official website. “It’s a little easier for him to stand in front of some versatile dudes, some drivers and some physical guys … He was ready for the moment and I think we’ll be seeing more of him.“
There’s growing speculation that Nerlens Noel could end up in Los Angeles, Bryan Kalbrosky of HoopsHype writes. The big man shares an agent with LeBron James who has been linked to the Lakers over the course of the past year.

Fantasy purposes? Did you wind up staying away from Josh Richardson?

No. That shows he respect our team if he opts to play.
Dropped josh richardson. Very inconsistent. Not the breakout season Im hoping.

This is stupid talk. Noel is not an RFA. He'll cost cap space to sign either way.

Odds are it will given they have no interest in tanking and other teams do.
Anyone watched Malik Monk this year? Seems a long time since some media people had him as a possibility for us at the third pick overall in the draft. Could just be rookie blues but he's not doing much statistically.

OT: couple of bad losses, Embiid’s back acting up, still waiting on Fultz... now Wentz has an ACL tear. Things are just peachy.

He might garry harris his way to relevance.
Anyway.. you kind of appreciate the Fultz deal looking at those guys and how we’re playing lately. We need a guy who can score and yet initiate the offense with volume. I dont see it with Tatum, Jackson or Monk. All looks like pressure release valves/tertiary option type to me.
If you miss Fultz. You’re banking on the LAL and Kings pick? Both have a lot of uncertainties to it. FA? In reality, FA is more of a lottery.

Honestly I have a hard time appreciating anything about the Fultz deal at this point in the season. He has an injury that is healed and he is still 3 weeks away. I hope Fultz is that guy that can score and initiate the offense. But I can't appreciate him while he is sitting on the bench recovering from ?
The Accession of Paul Reed is upon us !
You want it to be one way....but it's the other way.

While the Los Angeles Lakers would like to sign two max contract free agents in 2018, they are willing to preserve some of their cap space for 2019 if they're unable to sign their targets.
LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Paul George, Chris Paul and DeMarcus Cousins headline the 2018 class, while Klay Thompson, Kyrie Irving, Jimmy Butler and Kawhi Leonard are in the 2019 class.
...
"If the guy can’t really take our team to another level, and we see what Kyrie Irving has done for the Boston Celtics. Put him with that young talent the Celtics have, and they’ve taken off. We feel the same thing can happen for the Lakers. If we get the right free agent, that guy can take our young talent to a whole another level.”
I think the Lakers get Demarcus Cousins and LBJ. Cleveland has $122M under contract for only 9 players next year, and Isaiah Thomas will be a free agent. Dan Gilbert is dying for Lebron to leave.
Lakers don't need Paul George since that's who Brandon Ingram is becoming.
Lonzo Ball, KCP, Brandon Ingram, Lebron James, Demarcus Cousins.
Paul George (and Mohamed Bamba) to the Sixers!!!!

OKC down by almost 20 to Charlotte. Can't see PG13 staying there at this rate.
2023-2024 Philadelphia 76ers:
Lowry/Melton/Payne
Maxey/Hield/Council
Oubre/Batum/Martin
Harris/Covington/Wilson
Embiid/Reed/Bamba

Tatum 1-7 with Kyrie and Horford out. Looks like the Celtics also got blown out by the Bulls. Interesting.

Boston lost to Chicago by 23. Even without Kyrie that’s pretty funny.

You mean Tatum isn’t the next coming of Jordan?
