Gordo with 0 points on 2 shots, 0 assists, and 4 rebs in 14 mins for OKC - he was the only plus-minus negative in their entire box score.

Their coach won coach of the year last year, they have 2 top 20-25ish guys. A top 5 pick that is playing well, a guy in the 6th man of the year conversation and they are still the 8th seed in the West.
The Kings roster isn't that great outside of those guys, but I see your point. You need A LOT of talent up and down your roster to win in this league.
Really? Harrison Barnes, Kevin Huerter are both solid along with 4 other guys I mentioned. They feel like maybe 1 more good depth guy away to me.
The NBA definitely needs expansion to help dilute the ever-growing talent pool in the league.

The irony.
"Grant Afseth: P.J. Washington on if he remembers ever winning four straight NBA games: “I was just telling somebody in the locker room, I think this is the longest win streak I’ve ever had in my career. So I’m just happy to be here.”"

Between that and what Terry said, I'm waiting for Gordon to take a shot at our medical staff.

1 million percent yes.
Time to move on from that draft altogether

In a heartbeat Mark W, Nick & Poku with Grant W would make a nice four headed monster.
It's worth a shot, and to be fair Thor's had his chances and not improving at the necessary rate he should be

Poku is awful at basketball, easy pass.
I don't like Thor, but at least he plays defense.

Re: Around the NBA 12
Pokusevski had played in just 10 games and very limited minutes for the Thunder this season. In his four years with the team he averaged 7.5 points, 4.7 rebounds in 20.6 minutes a game when he got on the court, with a lot of his run coming when this team won 24 games a season and was tanking.
If he can pass a team’s physical, Pokusevski is the kind of “second draft” player a rebuilding team should take a flier on for the rest of the season. He has shown enough potential that it’s worth bringing him in for the final 25 games, getting a close look at him, and then making a decision.

Poku is taller and shoots a bit better than Thor, just do it I say.

Yes I agree. Maybe he's another one of the thunders hidden talents that couldn't get playing time and just needs a change of scenery. Getting him simply to ensure thor never sees the floor again is a win for us in my opinion.Diop wrote:Poku is taller and shoots a bit better than Thor, just do it I say.

To the surprise of no one, Mavs drop a game and suddenly they all realize PJ sucks. Guess PJail couldn’t lock up Myles Turner, who could have seen that coming

Gafford has been significantly better for what Dallas is looking for -- post defense and rebounding. PJ hangs out in the corner and waits for a kickout and shocker, if he's not hitting, his positive impact on a game goes way down.
Maybe Dallas is good enough to get PJ's attention, but bottom line he was sleepwalking in Charlotte.

I won’t trash on him too much, he’s had like 5 crappy games in a row so that means there’s a 30 pt game comin any day now
