Coward going to Memphis. Interesting. Zach Kleiman going back to the same place he got Jaylen Wells from.

Yep. Caught that, too. Malika is so damned dumb and doesn't belong on that panel. What a joke.

Trading in for Coward? I don't hate it tbh.

Really rooting for Maluach to have a fantastic NBA career. Genuine nice young man and family who flew war torn Sudan and now living the dream as a pro in the NBA.

Another fantastic international story for the NBA.

What was the whole we have a trade to announce thing from Silver before 11 was that just the KD deal awkwardly referenced?

A!

If he learns to shoot, he's gonna be awesome.

Who was the last player with a broken ass jumper who learned how to shoot?

It literally never happens lol

Lonzo, Dort, Kidd, Griffin, Kawhi, Siakam, etc.

That's the 6'7 Wells. Bigger wing rotation though for sure.

He’s got an incredible frame and a wet jumper. Dude’s TS% was like 70% in college lol

What that trade??? Is that going to be part of that Rockets and Suns trade? They're not adding him to that KD trade are they?

Maybe Coward can teach Sharpe how to play basketball.

A+++

Memphis trading 16 a future 1s and two 2nds for Coward? That is a lot for moving 5 spots but I like it.

Taylor Jenkins Memphis has been great at developing players

Dan Z · Post #759 » by **Dan Z** » Thu Jun 26, 2025 1:29 am

Does Coward play SG now that Bane is gone?
