Nurk for Zach Collins makes sense to me. Upgrade for the Bulls, Jazz get a slightly larger TPE with four months more to use it.

Julius Randle on the rip and run is one of my favorite things. Dude is so fun when he plays with pace.

I think if you lose that physicality at center it is going to make it harder for the young guys to develop. I hate watching rookies and early career players getting physically overwhelmed. I think we keep Nurk, but I'd be looking at signing Tsiebwe for the rest of the season.

His passing has been quite fun to experience as well.

Not to toot my own horn, but I knew the Luka trade was bad from Nico, and now look. I was right.

I will be upset if that failed challenge by Detroit wins us the game.

After watching him in the playoffs last year against the Pacers he's got my vote. Dude was a complete warrior. Cavs will probably be the team I'm rooting for this year, since I'm hoping the Pacers suck :lol: I do like a lot of the Knicks players too. We will see how the season goes and how I feel when the playoffs start.

I am watching the Memphis game in the background, you would think the team's mascot died with how bad the vibes are.

I know we don't have a PG healthy at all, but why is Isiah Jackson bringing the ball up the floor multiple times? :lol:

I mean, all three 2 way players are in the rotation. Plus 2 hardship contract guys. It may not be so much about "let" :lol:
