Like...as in..."if every other Western Conference team loses a superstar player to injury, the Lakers might have a chance"?

Cuz otherwise I don't see them having much of a chance of anything.

Lakers are definitely not a contender, but if Kobe can come back as Kobe and Randle has an impact I think they could possibly sneak in as 7th or 8th. If I had to bet right now I still think their lottery bound.

TD is a main sponsor of the Boston Celtics.

BMO purchased US based NW Harris & Co and it was subsequently changed to BMO Harris Bank. It's based in Chicago but they also have main offices in Milwaukee. Likely where the sponsorship is rooted from.

Most underrated rookie

Jusuf Nurkic. He is going to make a ton of teams regret not taking him earlier

When we look back at this draft, he is going to be a top 5 player in this draft

I hope he doesn't take shine away from Mozgov. I was banking on Mozgov asserting himself as the biggest sleeper center in fantasy, this years Robin Lopez.

Looking better than me, I have JaVale McGee on my fantasy team

Ps: Before anyone jumps on me, its a salary cap dynasty league and I am stuck with McGee for one more season

I'm digging the resurgence of Former Yugoslav players entering the league these days..

There was a bit of a lull after Peja and Vlade retired, but now we got Nurkic, Teletovic, 2xBogdanovic, Mirotic, Pekovic, Saric, 2xDragic, Nedovic, Udrih, Vucevic, Antic.. I think that's everyone

Raptors gotta grab up one of these kids before it's too late

Damn his offensive awareness is Rudy Gay like right now. Hope coach is going over film with him every day. Needs to learn the game.

17 points and 5 boards on 5/9 (3/5) shooting

The guy is a straight-up baller and not your typical rookie. There's a reason he's been the best player in Europe for a few years, and now he's coming off the bench for Chicago. Easily the best front court in the league with Noah-Gasol-Gibson-Mirotic

Holy moly, he is good

They didn't need Pau Gasol if Mirotic is this good. I think Thibs is going to rest Pau a bit more, knowing that he has Gibson and Mirotic that can both play big minutes. Wow...Pau and Noah to start with Gibson and Mirotic as your BACKUPS!!!

Hopefully Rose can stay healthy and this Bulls team can definitely give Cleveland a challenge.

I've always been a lowkey fan of Jimmer. He gets knocked for not having PG skills but I don't get that, he's shown to be able to take care of the ball and make the simple passes, but most importantly he can facilitate the offense. Hoping he's finally found his home in New Orleans.
