Hard to believe he wasn’t even the consensus #1 pick. If Orlando gets another top-3 draft pick next summer, they’ll be a powerhouse for years to come.

Damichael Cole: Fun fact: Ja Morant and Kennedy Chandler wear the same shoe size. So even though you won’t see Ja wearing Kobe 6s and KD IVs anymore, let’s just say those shoes will still be squeaking inside FedExForum.

You guys up for freeing Rudy Gobert from Minnesota on a discount?

Greatest defensive center of his generation having a bit of a rough time in Minneapolis...

Nope.
Exactly why I had no interest in trading for him in the offseason, my reasoning still has not changed. He maybe cheap in assets but he's still being paid $40+ million.

Deke's nephew has been developing. Time for an NBA team to give him consistent minutes.

Kabengele recorded 30 points (14-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 30 minutes Tuesday against Fort Wayne.

Kabengele dominated the Mad Ants in both scoring and on the glass, missing only one shot attempt from the field. The 25-year-old also made an impact on the boards, collecting six of his 12 rebounds on the offensive end.

According to someone who has spoken to the Heat’s front office, the Heat remains interested in Jae Crowder, but only in a buyout situation, barring Phoenix shockingly taking a bad contract off Miami’s hands,

What does everybody think about Lebrons comments?

LeBron James to @TheAthletic on the Lakers' roster plans: "Y'all know what the f*** should be happening." More here on his waning patience, how his greatness is forcing this conversation, and why he deserves more help

_________

LeBron James: Hey Sam actually my patience isn’t waning. You make it sound like I’m frustrated when I’m really not. I told you over and over, my job is focused on the guys in the locker room, my job isn’t the roster. That’s the reality of that conversation. And I said what I said with the upmost respect and calmness cause that’s the mood I’m in! Your welcome! 5 game winning streak.

That front office's moves have been absolutely terrible for years. He and Klutch Sports roster demands have been a big part of the problem. Giving Kuzma, Lonzo, Ingram away and getting little production from their replacements.

But you don't have All NBA LeBron on your squad and repeatedly miss the playoffs. It's a waste.

Adding LeBron to 99% of NBA rosters this season makes them a contender.
But somehow, the roster for LA is so horrid, his presence can't even get them a guaranteed playoff spot?

Ridiculous...

At what point do we consider packing it in and focusing on next year?

Joel Embiid on post-ups: 'You can’t win this way anymore. It’s not the fricking 90s or 80s'

Rich Hoffman: Joel Embiid: “It’s funny when you’ve got these old guys always talking about posting up, ‘you need to spend time in the paint,’ and all that stuff. You can’t win this way anymore. It’s not the fricking 90s or 80s like it used to be. So, they must not have any basketball IQ.” pic.twitter.com/ykoElNlEDl
