Impressive, but I think more incredible that DeRozan is playing at this level. He's defintely not the same player at all, he never played like that, and the change happening at this age is a bit amazing.

I'd like to see Ja's body holdup throughout his career. Everytime in see him get up to attempt a crazy dunk I cringe.

Delonte West is back on the basketball court … and TMZ Sports has learned the ex-NBA star is training for a chance at playing in Ice Cube’s BIG3 league!! Sources tell us the 38-year-old has been training at the Pat The Roc Basketball Academy in Gaithersburg, Maryland every single day for the past month … in hopes of making a huge comeback.

A good story if Delonte can take advantage of this second chance to do something with his life. Cuban reached out to him to provide help. Lebron basically tried to say he would do whatever it takes for the media headlines a three years ago, but he did nothing at all. I will be hoping West stays on the right path.

I enjoy the Big 3 league so this makes it even more engaging.

Steal of the 2021 Draft?

There's a chance that OKC front office actually knows what they're doing.

Miami is about to get stronger.

Victor Oladipo is back with the Heat after getting in some practices in the G League.

“He has had two good days,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said of Oladipo after Wednesday morning’s shootaround. “He still has another workout, actually probably right now. They’ve been good days, two really good days of work.” Oladipo is still on track to return at some point in March, but fantasy managers can watch him from the waiver wire because Miami has lots of depth and Oladipo will need a ramp-up period.

Some rival executives and agents polled by B/R believe Herro’s next deal may approach his five-year, $184 million maximum. Others have pointed more toward Jaylen Brown’s recent structure of a four-year, $106 million deal. For context, Fred VanVleet and Lonzo Ball’s recent four-year, $85 million contracts have set a clear benchmark in the market, where this summer combo guards such as Jalen Brunson and Collin Sexton are said to be seeking salaries north of $20 million.

Minnesota hired Chris Finch last season as Head Coach. He's long been on my list of coaching prospects. I'm disappointed we didn't snatch him up after Budenholzer left Atlanta in 2018.

Had we actually fired Lloyd Pierce in Summer 2020 (as we were rumored to be considering), there's a chance Finch would be here today as our HC.

The turnaround he's led in Minnesota is extremely impressive.

I agree, Coach is fantastic. I was just surprised that Minnesota has played so well without gaining any ground.
