Willie Reed is more than adequate for an NBA starting center with the way the league is now. Clippers need to re-sign him and Harrell early for reasonable deals and let them+Blake run the frontcourt. Let DJ go to clear cap for an elite wing like say Paul George. I'm okay with this frontcourt even without DJ.

In his first start of the season, Willie Reed has his first double-double of the season with 14 points and 13 rebounds today against the Kings. He's also added 2 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks.

Zbo just elbowed Blake in the head days after a bad concussion. Not cool. Not the first time he's done this and it wasn't on accident either. How Blake responds now will say a lot about him. He needs to go on a 10-0 personal run or something to get going.

nice, but Mavs, Hawks, Kings (and Spurs, I know, I know...)

They've had one of the toughest schedules in the league, so it's only a matter of time before things ease up. December schedule was absolutely brutal, and they had injuries during that stretch.

Harrell is a savage. Wish Blake had his hustle and toughness (hell he did his first year or two in the league).

Not even close to a foul. Good block by Harrell.

Both JC and Randle will get traded by the TD or over the summer. Late first or second round picks will do with expiring. Randle in fact might be auditioning for Dallas today.

Randle
for
Noel or Harris + pick

Warriors are going to blow out the Raptors, especially since Lowry isn't playing. Even then, this will be a good gauge of how good the Raptors really are. They've had a pretty easy schedule so far and have been lucky with injuries until Lowry went out. I think they might be a ECF contender though.

I don't think Randle will be traded yet, but I think Clarkson will. Randle may be worth bringing back if they strike out in free agency but Clarkson is a pretty easily replaceable talent.

What easy schulde have the Raptors bad lol? They’ve gone on two separate west coast swings already. And have played every Western team on the road besides Minnesota.

Since 12/5, they've only faced 4 playoff teams (OKC, Bucks, Heat, and Cavs).

Raptors had the toughest schedule to start the season (Look it up). It was bound to ease down at some point. Not to mention we've still played the least amount of home games and the most road games so far.

Are Curry and Lowry playing tonight? Going to be a fun game regardless I think.

IF DeMar plays relaxed and doesn't try to go 1 on 1 against KD and curry like last time they met, Raptors will win.

JC is all but gone.

Randle, I thought could be useful especially if we miss out on a 2nd MAX guy but he has been too inconsistent. He is talented but so frustrating at times. I think the FO will move him even if we miss out on that 2nd MAX guy. I could see the Lakers trying to get Noel and sign him for less than Randle if we miss out in FA.

Next month's trading deadline or over the summer for both JC and Randle.

Need Curry to play. I want no excuses from Warriors fans.
