JT probably no longer sleeping with Deuce's mom.

Also unsure JT will wield that kind of power in the league at any point.

Lebron and Bronny = Vince and Shane McMahon

You don't see many two-handed barehand catches in baseball.

Maybe he has a background in cricket?

That is an amazing play. It almost looks sped up it's so incredible. Doesn't even shake his hands off for the sting you know for sure was there.

Aren't the Pelicans in the process of trading a borderline all star wing because he doesn't really take threes, doesn't space the floor for their franchise player and is a poor fit for their roster ? Why are they trading for a borderline all star guard that doesn't really take threes, doesn't space the floor for their franchise player and is a poor fit for their roster ? Explain it to me like I'm five years old.

Sooo do the Hawks still move Trae? I Imagine yes, but Jury is really out of town with their decision making.

I think they're bigger concern with Ingram is that he isn't a good defender. And because of the aforementioned spacing issues, they need to play an offensive PG like CJ to bring some. But that exasperates the defensive issues. Tough to have two guys that are liabilities on the perimeter when you're also built around Zion.

My guess is that they'll move Ingram now. Potentially CJ as well. I think their "core" would be something like:

Murray / Alvarado
???
Herb Jones / Trey Murphy
Zion
??? / Missi

They'll try to use Ingram, CJ, their picks to find 3&D players at SG and C.

LOL, there was speculation today on Sirius XM that the Spurs might be interested.
I don't think so.

The conspiracy theorist and anti-Laker in me says that KCP is being heavily influenced by Rich Paul to opt out as a payback to Denver for cutting short LeBron's dreams the last 2 years.
