So if Anthony Davis' newfound passing game sticks, how good is he?

Siakam is becoming Raptors 3rd all-star. He is too fast for slower defenders and scores in post over wings when they put them on him.

Nice to see Towns and Wiggins saying good things about Jimmy Butler after the trade considering all that went before it.

About 50/50 for time on each from what I saw.

And it may shock some of you, but I'm fine with Dray's choice to bring that up court himself. His execution obviously left something to be desired.

I'm generally just on team chaos so I'm all for infighting. Warriors, Wizards, Rockets. Go for it.

Yeah, all in all it is pretty funny. Who knows, could make things more interesting this season.

What timing by Mama Durant. This league is something else.

Do you sign with the Warriors to win a ton of sign elsewhere to prove you're the X-Factor on winning? And if so, where do you go?

I go to LA to play with LeBron. I get to be the #1 option, I get to play with a play that respects me as much as I do him, and I get to be seen as the guy who was the #1 while LeBron is the #2.

Honestly, I think the best possible move for him legacy-wise is to go to the Knicks and restore that franchise. Wouldn't even have to win a ring there, just taking them deep into the playoffs would be seen as a win by many. Plus the monstrous market, obviously, is a huge plus.

Knicks or Nets probably would be my top two choices, depending on who can put the best team on the court, and the Clippers a distant third.

If I'm KD I try to go somewhere where I can be the clear cut best player and compete for a title. Whether that's Knicks or Clippers or Celtics or whatever. Sure as hell wouldn't go play with LeBron unless I'm sure Bron has declined to the point where I'm the consensus best player in the league.

I want to make a joke but won't. So honestly, I think the Clippers. Rival the Lakers, they've never won and if you do you're a legend forever for a team that never got there. They have cap space, youth, and some depth

If you win a title aren't you pretty much a legend forever anywhere? Even if you win a title for the Lakers or Celtics you are a legend.

Not at that level. You win in Houston they still have Hakeem, you win in NY they have Ewing and Frazier, you win most places and they have a history. The Clippers don't.

I think you're greatly underestimating how tiny the Clippers fan base. Winning a championship for the Knicks would make you a far greater legend than merely being the first guy to give the Clippers a title. It's like comparing the most popular guy in China to the most popular guy in Singapore.
