Memphis should build around Edey and Coward. Great game by Cam Spencer. Aldama apparently one of the few there that knows how to use Edey's screens.

Wow, Kings are in this game. They could use Jonas these days tho, but I am glad they just donated him to a contender, thank you very much, few months on the Kings made Jonas want to leave an entire continent.

With the Magic picks and currently (almost certainly gonna end up to) being a lotto team, they should just send Morant out. He's not gonna have great value with his availability/character issues, but they need a reset. JJJ can be kept or moved if there's a great offer, but they shouldnt keep these constant Ja issues hanging over them. Mighta been acceptable when he was a top 10 player, but he's not good enough for his headache anymore, and they have an easy out with their young talent and picks

Calling former great a scrub is harsh, but yeah, everyone who did not sign him, dodged a bullet there.

Tired looking Denver team here. This is the type of game they’re going to need to drag over the line if they want to be a 60 win 2 seed

If The Kings hold on and beat Denver, it would be the biggest boilover/shock result of the season so far

Aside from Houston, they haven't got any serious competition for the 2nd seed imo, they'll be fine.

I think the Lakers are also capable of piling up the regular season wins, and Denver are minus 2 starters for the foreseeable

A B2B where they had to travel home, down two starters (yes I'm aware the Kings are down everyone), this is the type of game good teams lose all the time. A win would mean more than a loss IMO.
