Now is the time to sell the Bulls hard on a Harris for LaVine trade.

Walker Kessler, a guy i like in the draft, had a double double. I like his motor and how he moves on both ends but he gets pushed around against the physical Nuggets frontcourt

Magic and Pistons look fun! Banchero was impressive. Great pick by the Magic. Ivey and Duren also both played really well.

Read on Twitter

this is how NBA wants teams to play defense.

Wow, missed Bouknight was passed out in his car intoxicated with a gun near him, then crashed into two cop cars.

This goes to show that you can love a prospect while watching him on the court, but clearly he has some issues he needs to sort out off the court.

Wow, Maledon was waived by Houston and picked up by the Hornets? I would have traded Springer straight up for him. He's way more dynamic on offense than Springer will ever be.

If Suggs figures out his offensive game, the Magic will be really good. He’s a menace defensively and they clearly have a couple of great wings in Paolo & Franz.

I haven't seen as many betas in one pic before outside of a fraternity group shot.

The Mathurin/Haliburton partnership is going to be a thing to watch out for in the next few years. Bennedict feels like the real deal.

I actually had some doubts about Bennedict Mathurin based on his percentages dropping across the board as a sophomore. But he never fails the eye test. Tall, jacked, and athletic as hell with some slick shooting skill.

The Pacers have quite a few guys in that 6'5"-6'7" range with skill. They even have an attempted reclamation project in Nesmith that might yield returns.

Is this real or photoshopped?

I think he got extensions sewed in. I feel like the lack of facial hair makes him look stranger than the dreads. Dude's jaw transformed into Arnold in Conan the Barbarian.

Is Lauri Markkanen finally breaking out into stardom?

I saw a glimpse of it in the recent Eurobasket where he demolished my Croatia and scored 43 points. Well Croatia is not a particularly great team and we defended him poorly, but he had a monster performance.

Utah seems to be expanding the way he's been used. He's using his handle to create more and he's making plays for others. He's no longer being used primarily as a stretch guy. He looks like a really good all-around offensive player.
