Re: Around the NBA 12
Cavs-Magic set to be a fun series. Can't imagine the average fan is watching much Magic throughout the year and Paolo's performance could vault him into the top 25 conversation, Suggs v Mitchell is intriguing. I like Cavs in 6 but one I'm looking forward to.

Batum is playing better defense at age 35 than he did when he was 28 and getting paid 30 million per year by Charlotte. He fleeced this franchise so bad.

Eh he's been garbage all year. Decided to play hard tonight out of nowhere. Dude had borderline hall of fame ability. Wasted it being lackadaisical

I've just seen the highlights of the Kings Pels game and looks like Fox had a really good game. I wonder what it would take to get him out of Sacremento, a back court of Ball and Fox would be exciting.

Umm you mean a backcourt of Fox/Miller...
No way I trade Miller for Fox.
I would do something around LaMelo + picks for Fox.

You can play Miller at the 3, ok your defense might not be great but the offence will be hard to stop.
Then have Grant or Miles at the 4 and Mark at C

We've got 1st round picks, we could sign and trade Miles

You a WILD boy.
Fox is on a supermax contract for a reason. He's not going for Bridges + picks.
They will want a young player without a shaky history off the court + picks. The only deal I can see is Melo + picks.

If I was the Denver scout who pushed for jokic that would be my whole cv.

Miami sucks. Hopefully that draft pick for Rozier turns out to be top 10.

I think that pick will be key in us trading for a major player down the line. I will be shocked if we hold on to that pick for very long.
We have a legit core and we have future assets to cash in on a major trade.

Jokic entered the draft a year earlier than he should have, that is really it tbh. He got drafted, stayed in Europe then won the Mvp of the ABA league and would have been a top 5 pick in 2015. Pretty flukey.
if James Nnaji wins the Spanish League MVP next year after doing nothing for 2 years we drafted him its hard to believe the Hornets took him because they saw that coming lol.
Jokic also was first team all-rookie when he came over to NBA and pretty much took the starting spot of Nurkic who was the 16th pick the year prior. The Nuggets got lucky and sometimes that happens.
