So does Kyle Kuzma have more trade value than Pascal or OG now? Not something I would have thought possible, but I guess he is locked up long term on a very reasonable contract.

Which is why Masai extends Pascal, at a min.

Another double double for Neemias Queta today. Prior highlights:

Raps? Not interested. Would rather have complete scrubs than a 3rd C that can step right into your lineup.

Minnesota at Sacramento. Seems like every night there's a prestige matchup or two in the West

The Philadelphia 76ers lost 28 straight games across two seasons: 2014–15 and 2015–16, the most consecutive losses in NBA history. The 2010–11 Cleveland Cavaliers, 2013–14 Philadelphia 76ers, and the 2023–24 Detroit Pistons are tied for the longest single-season losing streak with 26 games.

I didnt know the 28 losses was over 2 seasons.

The next game is just as big as they will break the record for losses consecutively in one season

As long as the Nets beat the Pistons on Boxing Day, the Pistons will still have the streak against us December 30. Sandwiched in between is a loss vs the Celtics.

Whoever loses to DET is gonna have a meltdown, outside of if it’s against another ranking team like POR or WAS

Lakers really emptied the tank to get the win in OKC last night, essentially guaranteeing the win for the Celtics tomorrow.

Jalen Brunson really reminds me of prime Kyle minus defense but better shot selection

Brunson is currently second in charges drawn this year (behind Tim Hardaway Jr. of all people) and seems to be in the upper rankings of charges drawn these last few years. While that doesn't mean he's in the calibre of team defender that Lowry was, he is at least willing to put his body on the line for the betterment of the team.

I also (somewhat lazily) compared Brunson to Lowry and Fred due to their size. But Brunson is listed at 6'2 while Lowry and Fred are listed at 6'0, but they arguably look smaller than that. I don't think that's an insignificant difference. Circling back, Fred barely ever takes charges though tends to rank highly in deflections.

Brunson is easily the best scorer of the three (those two inches help! also being a lefty), prime Lowry is the overall the most impactful.

Apologize to Dolan if you need to Masai. We need Immanuel Quickley NOW.

Denver game:

"Unselfish group, Kuminga has to rotate off Gordon who is the non shooter on the floor"

Meanwhile we have Schro, Siakam and Yak as non shooters....1 below aver, 1 awful, 1 non existent

There were a lot of people hyping up Podz in last years draft thread and damn, ya'll were right about him. Dude can play
