The Lakers-Wolves game is pretty important one. Wolves can also clinch tiebreaker vs Lakers if they win today

Lol, I And1'd this a half-second before I realized you were correcting the OP. In my head I was like, "Yeah! Alright!!"

The Magic have the skeleton of something good here but they are pretty clearly a guard short. Van Vleet would be nice for this team I can see why they want him.

Jordan Poole might be available this offseason but the price might be too steep.

Melo and amare should thrive in this offense. If Jeremy Tyler and cole Aldridge looked that good in summer league then us knick fans have a lot to be excited about. Make room for all the bandwagoners when we take off

Scoot Henderson if it's rigged right.

Dang they just said the Celtics starting lineup of Smart, JB, JT, Horford, Rob W has only started 4 games this year and played 68 total minutes together. Had the best net rating of any 5 man unit last season.

Reminds me of the 11 total minutes Steph, Klay, and Dray played together last season before the playoffs (and it was actually 3 years, but Klay was out for 2 full seasons). The experience from last season the C's had will come up big.

The Nets aren't even a team..It's just a collection of basketball players who were thrown into a sinking ship with no captain.
