What are we buying and selling so far this season?

I think I'm buying:
1. Hornets/Nets/Pacers/Wizards are tanking
2. Pistons as a top 4 team

I'm selling:
1. Hawks as a top 4 team
2. Magic outside the top 4
3. Raptors as a top 6 team

Atlanta is 9-5. We're 7-7. You're selling Atlanta being a top 4 team and buying us being in the top 4... am I reading that right?

You are as good at reading comprehension as you are at evaluating contract value lol

Remind me what Sengun is making again?

LOL fair enough

Is Giannis era in Milwaukee finally coming to an end?

Sadly, I'm a 58 year old returning to Jiu Jitsu after a 5 year layoff...I'm experiencing a new injury every class - I'm in good shape, but not Jiu Jitsu shape (I'm learning), so I'm banking on just powering through a "rebirth"

No injuries so far doing the other

Cedric Coward is REALLY good.

My heel is what is bugging me on and off. Ankle too.

Groin is optimum.

So Baby Dwight has arrived, Duren looks like all star player. It's crazy how much his physicality is bothering opponents.

Pistons also made some things that they didn't do in very long time, like found Daniss Jenkins undrafted, picked up Paul Reed for nothing, got Duncan Robinson for kind a cheap sign& trade for $16M a year.

Duren is an amazing specimen...his measurements are not unique, but people just bounce off of him. My son played high school hoops with Ray Lewis' kid...same phenomenon. He was my size - 5'10, around 170, but he was made out of some element from Krypton.

I wanted to trade for Duren when he was a disappointment - thinking Mose could do wonders with that pile of granite...That ship has sailed. I also think that he'd look entirely different without a Cade setting him up. I'm a fan of Duren but I acknowledge that he's a candidate for an overpay this summer and that his present awesome game is largely built off of Cade's PG play.

You mean output can be dictated by an offensive scheme?

Vuc with another buzzerbeater

[DiplomaticMagic]

I know its early but feels like West conf has done us absolutely no favors in seedings vs East conference

And against POR no less.... lol wasnt it just last week we did the same? Was it the same defender?

Warriors pretty much took out entire lineup out for second night of back to backs.

Mavs look pretty much like Magic 2024-25, without point guard in sight, offense is just flat out pathetic.

Houston took care of Cavs.

Bulls did everything in their power to blow 20 points lead in 4th quarter, but won on last shot.


On East, Hornets, Nets, Pacers and Wizards only win when they face each other


In general, it's too early to look at standings, teams are clustered, only Pistons on top, and 4 tankers on bottom, on East separated themselves.

One team that i did not see coming are Raptors ( their schedule: Nets, Wizards, Pacers, Hornets 4 of next 5) . Yea... their standings will be looking amazing entering December.
