Their contracts are up for team extensions soon. It's put up or... We have to see whether the investment will continue.

Castle will get plenty of burn in time but no need to overwhelm either.

Castle is really going to help this spurs team. His iq pops.

The passing is light years from last year. Castle just gets it.

I don't get it, there's a wide open Spur directly under the basket, and Wemby just spins around like a top after throwing the pass :lol:

Playing with Wemby, might extend Paul's career another 2-3 years because he can play in the halfcourt as well with the pick and roll/pop. Very interesting.

Lol. Because it's your job, bro

Celtics have a preseason back-to-back this weekend. And they just flew to and from Abu Dhabi like freakin Nermal without complaining.

He's right though. Travel should be minimized during the preseason.

The teams arrange their own pre-season schedule. The only rule is it can't be more than 6 games. This game is apparently in return for Milwaukee going to LA last year...

The Wizards really need someone else than Jordan Poole to be their point guard. I like some of their young talent but their offense is a mess.

Castle is a tenacious and smart defensive player. So refreshing

Look at Wemby's defender running towards the corner three, that was an effective fake. You won't ever hear my complain about Victor playing with a bit of panache though.

Castle is gonna be an all star in a few years. Imo best player in the draft.

Also, a no look pass or at least a look away.

Panache. You don't hear it used that often . Good word.

"Wait I have to go on a short domestic flight as part of my 52 mil dollar a year job? What is this ****?"

Haha. Literally today I woke up at 2:30 AM and drove 400 miles round trip, getting back home at 3 PM, all in hopes of securing an opportunity that has a 95% chance of yielding no profit at all. I won't say how much I get on the 5% chance, but it isn't close to 52 mil.

Brunson-Towns PnRs are going to be deadly.

Wemby's defender is #21 who just stands still. The guy who runs to the corner is recovering back to his own cover, which he blew by hard switching onto Wemby instead of just stunting and recovering. It's actually impressive the Magic managed to leave more Spurs open than they were guarding. :lol:

He didn't show anything in LA his entire career. Hope it works out, but I have doubts.
