Ingram suiting up
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.

Now that we've locked in 7th, here's hoping we blow out the Mavs to make them just a little bit more miserable heading into the Play In :lol:...just cause it's kinda funny to an outsider watching from a far like a Curb Enthuisasm episode or something where things keep getting worse but it's funny to those watching it

Sorry any potential Mavs' lurkers, I actually do you feel for you, I don't think I could support my franchise if they traded away an arguably generational talent like Luka.

Ingram is out
Perhaps he's damaged goods like Kawhi. History repeats itself.

Hopefully he'll give us 2 good seasons then it'll have been worth it.

If the Mavs flame out, perhaps they will trade AD to us for Scottie. Get'er done BC. I mean Masai. I can see AD asking out of there, if Kyrie does his extracurriculars.

Sorry Mavs fans.

I don't think the starters will play much more than they have been because so far, the FO has been pretty consistent with what it wants and the actions on court have matched.

All that to say, they really ARE prioritizing the development of the young guys and are maximizing reps this year so that they're as advanced as possible in their skillset next year and beyond. That has synergized well with tanking, but I don't think it was ever the point to be as bad as possible, but rather just be opportunistic with losing.

Scottie's a special case, his shooting and offensive 'hub' reps are too important, which has made the timing of his hand injury crappy.

I really hope they finally release Chris Boucher out of Bobby Webster's basement dungeon.

I suggest using the official injury report, click on the most recent time. Omoruyi was on a 10 day this season and played for the 905
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

It could be that it is Chris that has requested not to play in meaningless games in order not to risk injury. It would make perfect sense given that he will be a free agent probably signing his last real contract above minimum. His style of play is not always what I’d describe as controlled and last year ended in an mcl injury.
