They're not even on pace to win 10 games.

Do we have a large enough sample size to label jalen green a bust? His fg and 3p %s have declined every year and they sucked to start with!

pacers lose against the sun tonight but were missing haliburton. siakam was decent; but looks like the surrounding role players did well. i was hoping we could've gotten at least one of those players.

siakam was decent tonight, they were in it late and he kept getting in his spot at the elbow but they weren’t feeding him. had one costly turnover and the suns held on. as for the suns kd kinda looking worn down and tired after carrying them early on, beal looks rough too, definitely heavier than he was at his peak and needs to play himself into shape. nurk gave them next to nothing tonight before fouling out and really no depth on that team. theyre still dangerous with 3 stars but far from great at this stage.

Pretty much would be Cole Anthony, Markelle Fultz, Gary Harris and two 1st picks.

yeah it would basically be a salary dump. maybe brooklyn would offer something too like cam thomas and filler. atlanta probably just keeps him tbh

Cavs still being a 4th seed despite their injuries is mighty impressive.

The nets don't even have their pick, so it's a tank for HOU.

Which 3+D center was available?

Myles Turner was for trade but the Pacers wanted 2 first round picks for him. In retrospect, it would have been much smarter to use the pick we sent out to get Poeltl and the pick we downgraded to get Thad to get Turner instead.

ya in hindsight should've just went for Turner with 2 FRPs....people on here would've freaked out still.

In even more hinsight we should have just drafted Jokic

I was listening to some pod, can't remember which one, but European based players are coming in more developed from a skills standpoint because their teens are spending a lot more time on skill development. They will play 1 game a week and practice the rest of the time compared to American based players who are practicing a lot less because their focus is just playing the games.

I had a few ppl transfer to my HS team - they were from Lithuania, highly skilled.

They basically have class in the morning and have basketball drills from 1-4 every day.

It adds up over time

vs American guys playing AAU
