Hornets hired Steve Clifford again.. their logo and colour scheme is too good for them to be constantly garbage, really a lot of other names out there.

I didnt follow the draft much but I got a few messages about Holmgren being a 7'0 at 180 pounds and being able to play like a SF.

Will he be a slim Dirk? Im really intrigued.

zion looks thinner in this pic. and jacked.

Compared to the people he is hooping with, sure. :lol:

I wonder when we will see Zion scrimmages against actual NBA caliber players instead of guys at the Y or the kids at the local elementary school yard.

lol at the little white kid throwing up the gang signs.

Clifford was coach when they were the Bobcats too, whole other colors and uni.

I went to a game the last season they were Bobcats, the stores in the arena were selling some new Hornets gear a year ahead, and also unloading Bobcats merch at deep discounts at the same time.

Also saw rookie Kyrie Irving that game, very impressive. I said at the time he's like a taller Isiah Thomas

Edit - forgot to say, back then MJ sat on the end of the bench, away from the coaches, the whole game. Cheered and pumped his fist sometimes, didn't seem to talk to players or coaches. It was kind of odd I thought
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Denver getting KCP, who they'd probably like to re-sign later for around the MLE next year and shave around $5 million to get under the tax.

Washington getting Monte Morris and may be able to start him at PG beside Beal. Nice move. Wil Barton is a good enough backup SG.

Nice trade for both teams.

Gotta agree with you there. They've made some really solid moves. I think Brogdon is gonna be a really good get for them. Those guys are both made of glass, but still ups their chances this year I think.

Spurs rescind QO on Lonnie Walker. Let’s get him.

remember the days when that Minny fan came over to this forum and said Okogie was better than OG.

Great moves by the Celtics, and I think he secures their chances of winning the East again. But they will never win a chip if Tatum plays like ass again, no matter who they add. This was a pretty beatable Warriors team, as great as Steph was.
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Just came across this story that ran on Good Morning America last week...about Delonte West and his bipolar disorder along with life after basketball. Mark Cuban really took an interest in Delonte's wellbeing and stepped up to help him.
