He’d probably be part of the Dame package.

What is Jalen Green doing?


Stretching his arm out and coming nowhere near Draymonds head


I mean that was a clear flagrant lol. He looks at Draymond and winds up and extends his forearm. I hate Draymond, but still, that was obvious.


It was.

Draymond should've gotten a tech for flopping too.

Reminds me a lot of Latrell Sprewell and Isaiah Ryder. Crazy good when they’re on and other times just completely disappear in games.

Aw come on, that's tough on Spree. He was one of the best players of his era. Rider was Dion Waiters.

Having both him and KPJ, you can sort of bank that one of them will be ON ON each night. Just need a coach who is willing to be flexible with their minutes and play the one who is cooking and sit the other. Basically, dedicate 40 minutes to the two of them. Play them each five minutes in the first. Roll with the guy who is on for 30 minutes the rest of the way and sit the other.

Long term, you hope one of them puts it all together.

Re-creating that 22-win Rockets team's starting backcourt with the Bucks would be all sorts of funny/sad. Yes, I'm aware that both guys are older and may be better players now, but key emphasis on may be.

I've seen no update on Butler so I guessing it's nothing major.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

I’m giving one of them starters minutes. Not starting both in the backcourt. I’d start AJG at SG since he’s a perfect fit next to Giannis.

But this is all hypothetical. Dame’s not getting traded and they’ll re-up Prince to continue being the starting SG.

Not drafting OG during the peak "Bucks DNA" era is one of the biggest recent mistakes the franchise has made.

Mobley didn't deserve DPOY and it's going to cost the Cavs an extra 9m/year. Good stuff for the Cav-nots.

Brunson 27/64 fgs. Same as every year in the playoffs, this clown literally lives off foul baiting.

Ice cold. He shot 40% from 3 against the Pacers last year.

Good win from the Knicks. Every time the pistons made a run they had an answer.
