I'm not sold on a team (ATL) led by Trae not that
he's incapable of playing really well at times.

But re Risacher, he' is still pretty young and could be a lot
better in 2-3 years. But between him and Buzelis,
I'd take Buzelis right now.

I called Buzelis a poor mans Cooper Flagg, da Bulls are happy considering where he was selected.

The clippers/nuggets game was epic. :clap:

Kuzma set an unbreakable O-fer.

Detroits inexperience showing. NYK on a 21-0 run right now. Wow.

Was a great game up to that point.

Dawkins must be executive of the year. Excluding nefarious deals.

They don't give Executive of the Year to the worst team in the league (going by point differential and SRS).

I think management has done a good job overall, and their Trade Deadline deals panned out well, but they're going to give Executive of the Year to somebody like Detroit or Houston who played much better than everyone expected, and obviously the Lakers are in the mix for the Luka heist.

I don't think I've ever seen a team play worse than Memphis is currently playing against OKC.

Oh my goodness, watched the Q1 and just checked the box now, what a trashing, but not historic.
AI:

The worst playoff loss in NBA history by margin was a 58-point blowout when the Denver Nuggets defeated the New Orleans Hornets 121-63 on April 27, 2009. This 58-point margin is tied for the largest in NBA playoff history.

Executive of the year goes to Nico Harrison for single-handedly cementing the Lakers' next dynasty.

Ja Morant and Zac Eddy found something to laugh about while trailing by 50 or so. Morant seems like a moron.

Makes you almost feel bad Washington taking their 1st pick this year.

I'm going out on a limb and say even with Dame, I doubt they advance. We shall see.

That could be a trade we are thankful for for many
years.

"Could be"... -- I think it already is. W/o a doubt.

I really wish that protects pick didn't depend on Portland. Having pure unprotected swap rights would have been sweet.

Houston may win the series, but...this is one of those instances where a team needs to go for it and cash in some chips instead of just praying their young guys get better a year from now. They couldn't buy a bucket last night.

FVV was 4-19 last night. They have a team option on him this summer so they could let him go and roll with Sheppard.
