I know we have been banging on about it a fair bit over the past week but...........

Jesus Anthony Davis is good.

Every time Davis is mentioned, a moment of silence is needed for what could've been...

The Pelicans as a collective is horrible though. They are about to lose to the Jazz. They are going to really feel bad when they have to turnover their top 5 pick to the Sixers in the draft

Hayward is just as good as Paul George.

I want Charlotte to sign him desperately in off season. I don't care what they have to pay him.

Yeah, but they couldn't agree on a deal a few weeks ago. Jazz better pay the man.

Top 5 protected, so 6th pick.

Today I learned that Richard Jefferson still plays basketball and not sitting-at-the-end-of-the-bench-ball.

big ups to anthony bennett on a blistering 6pt 5rb performance tonight, to raise his FG% SEVEN POINTS to 12.5% on the season.

seriously though, he'll undoubtedly be a productive player at some point, but what is the ceiling for him? his 'floor' seems fairly defined at this point.

One brilliant thing Hinkie has done in Philly is he has 3 PGs the shortest of whom is 6'4. Why have these shrimpo PGs when you can have three with size?

Paul Millsap?

Looking like a Brandon Bass at this point.

I never liked the Anthony Bennett pick for Cleveland. It was a ill-fitting team for his talent, and I'm surprised that they reached for him at #1 despite already having Tristan Thompson, one of their more promising recent draft picks playing the same position

Kemba is already as good as Lawson, younger, and cheaper as well. I wouldn't trade the two straight up.

That's cray.

Kemba isn't near Lawsons level. Especially at the moment. Plus Law sons ability to actually hit a 3 would be great.

I think Kemba can be as good as or slightly better than Ty Lawson if he can get out of this slump (blaming on shoulder) and be more consistent in general

thruthefire · Post #359 » by **thruthefire** » Thu Nov 14, 2013 11:00 pm

And his general ability to score. It's nice having guys like Kemba and Al who can average 18+ points, but it's much nicer when you have someone who can do it much more efficiently.

Who says no? Asik for Ryan Anderson.... Plus any filler needed to make it work. Seems like a great match for both.
