Man, if only this guy could shoot. He'd be so good..
He's a 6'9" PG. There's like none of those in the league right now. Closest thing in the league right now to a 6'9" PG is Ben Simmons but he never plays..
I feel like he could be a good project for Cassell. Sign banton and tell Cassell, "your job is to turn this guy into a a beast"..

Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything

Well the best thing I can say about this weekend is:
1) Great extension numbers for Porzingis
2) Intrigued by Brissett, and good team friendly minimum contract
3) Brad hasn't been lured into signing stupid money just to make a deal.

I mean, what’s the Blazers play? They can ship him out to Miami or Philly for peanuts anytime. So they want to squeeze someone for a big return but it prob doesn’t help them to drag it on too long.
From that perspective getting Boston in the mix and whatever other team has more assets than the LA/Philly/Miami is the angle. Not sure what other moves to drop that would have those other teams in or out with bigger offers.

We wouldn't sign Miles Bridges (even to a minimum) would we?

He's probably a Heat by Wednesday and introduced Friday

Just a guess. He's definitely ending up there.

Lowry+picks or Lowry+Herro?
One day Marcus Smart will be defensive player of the year, mark my words.

Either is ****. Lowry isn't an asset. Unless herro goes to a 3rd team for 2 or 3 1sts, it's a joke. Plus 1sts from miami

If given the choice, would you rather sign Torrey Craig or Malik Beasley?

Yeah. They would probably match any offer. But maybe not?

1) Lowry doesnt make enough to trade straight up
2) Portland isn't taking either of those deals
Heat are up against the second apron. They would need to send very close to equal salary, which they can't do without either sending a package that Portland won't accept or giving up Bam or Butler.
Dont think Miami is happening. Also Miami only has two picks to trade

For the TPMLE? I think I’d rather just resign Grant if his number is looking pretty reasonable after market is drying up.

From the worst team in the league to be...maybe the 7 seed?
They'll be no walk in the park anymore, and you know Ime will have them competing hard.
Gonna be fascinating to watch them this season and see just how much of a leap they make from last season.
OKC is gonna be very good too.
Orlando and Detroit - will be interesting to see how good they are.
Hell, the spurs will be good.
Wizards will probably be the only team in the league that's an easy win haha. It's gonna be a fun season.
It is fun to watch these developing teams. A couple may well break out and make the playoffs. Houston could be a little like us back in 2018 if everything hits right for them.
