I just watched a Lakers hype video of D’Angelo Russell’s “defense” that was part of the timeout montage. I can’t believe such a video even exists.

Christian Wood giving the “too little” taunt and I can’t tell if he means his opponent or referring to his salary after nobody wanted him.

This Lakers bench group is interesting with him and Reddish especially. What could go wrong lol.

Lakers are irrelevant because of Lebron's age.

It's between the Suns and Nuggets.

No but fr, how is that lakers deep bench that full of solid players getting whacked by dudes I don’t/barely know? Pretty much all of them out there could be in our top 10 and I would say good steal off the street Brad. Wouldn’t even bat an eye if we had a problem and had to start Rui or Wood (why is he always available?)

Wood always available means he has issues.

His problem is that he isn't an NBA player and never has been. That's ok though, 99.9999% of people lead perfectly normal lives despite also having that issue.

Yes.

Warriors - 41
Lakers - 40
Suns - 37
Celtics - 34
Nuggets, Bucks - 30
Sixers - 29
Mavs - 28

Just in time for his replacement, Jordan Walsh, to take the league by storm.

With Iggy retiring, Horford is now tied at 5th (Thad Young) for most seasons in the NBA, entering his 17th (behind Lebron, CP3, Gay, Lowry). Iguodala was also the last active NBA player from the 2004 draft, unless Dwight Howard makes a comeback.

On KOC podcast he suggested Minny might trade KAT because Leonard Miller ( a pre-draft favorite here ) is making him expendable and is a better fit next to Gobert and Reid. What am I missing? Admittedly haven’t watched a minute of the Wolves but the box scores don’t look convincing.

This is a Perfect 10 on the Marcus Smart flopping scale...

Yes.

well 99.99999% of us aren't 7ft tall and went top 3 in the draft. He is young and is athletic. Doesn't seem to lack coordination. I am not saying I care, but just wondering out loud.

Iggy is a perfect comparison/hopeful for J Walsh. and in time I do believe he can reasonably reach that level.. And I don't think that is my Green-Koolaid Binky in me speaking

Vincent Poirier top 5 rebounder in NBA preseason somehow.

It's because Real Madrid played a preseason game vs the Mavericks.

Still, it's weird that they would include his stats on that page since they're not an NBA team..

Real Madrid played Dallas in preseason. Poirier didn't even start but I guess it's good to be 7 foot against that tiny Mavs frontline.

He's too dumb to understand how to play basketball. He's big and athletic so people thought no big deal, we'll teach him but there's only so much you can do with a guy that makes Jaylen Brown look like Magic Johnson (twice as many career turnovers as assists for a rim running center is like impossibly bad).

There are so many empty seats in the Bucks' arena that this feels like a sideshow game in summer league. Smart's Grizzlies are up by 8 as I type.
