I mean, look at the **** show they've put around Anthony Davis for the past 5 years. It rivals what we've done over the last 3.

That pick ends up in the 7-9 range. That isn’t worth Middleton or Parker. I’d entertain moving Bledsoe but that kills us in the short term with Brogdon out so I don’t see the Bucks doing that.

If I'm not mistaken, it's 2.5 games out of being #1 overall. I don't think Cleveland moves it. Too much Lebron leaves town insurance. Still very high possibility it's a top 5 pick in a six man draft.

ETA: id trade either Jabari or Middleton + Bledsoe for any of Bamba, Bagley, Young, Ayton, Doncic. Jackson is right up there as a prospect and if Porter finds health he could be the best scorer from this draft.

I'm not sure how Liggins has convinced the league he's a good perimeter defender. I can't find any stat out there that says he's anything other than a negative on D.

Probably the same people that think Thon is a stretch "5".

Eh, I think it's fair to say referring to Thon as a 5 is a stretch.

He's the new Royal Ivey. When he first came to the Bucks we were told oh he's a great defender but it just turns out that he's so bad on offense and at least tries on defense, even that trying doesn't lead to actual production that people just assume he's a good defender because there's no other reason that he's in the NBA.

FWIW, if Emeka was the 87ers best big, it wasn't by much. Can make the argument that Long is the better player, though I can certainly also understand going with the 9 year vet.

I thought the BC's attendance was bad on a weeknight. At least we can fill the lower bowl. DET has a new arena and half of their lower bowl is empty. Yikes.

Pretty sure the lower bowl was half empty for their season opener in their first game in the new arena. Crazy

Not sure why OKC doesn't trade George for the Nets pick. He is not staying there. They aren't getting past GS or Houston so why not throw your hat in the lottery?

Fleeting hope they can make a run in the playoffs.

Is it me, or has Myles Turner been extremely 'not as impressive as his rookie campaign'? I mean, I don't watch a lot of Pacers, but it seems every time I check their box I just see another middle-of-the-road line from Turner.

Saw that as well. You’d think even a weeknight game would draw a few more with Griffin there now. Guess not!

Send this post to Horst and tell him to call the Pacers and say exactly that, then have him say, "BUT THON, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAS EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS!" Then see where that goes.

Are the Blazers done with Nurkic?

I thought the same thing while at the Pacers game early in Jan at the BC. He was the definition of "meh". Big, athletic and coordinated, but completely wasting it with lil sense of timing or positioning. He's just there, but not really doing anything.

Granted that was one game, and I haven't seen much else from him, but I don't see him tearing it up.

Wizzards are better without wall. Unbelievable.
They've won now 3 games i expected them to lose.
I was hoping to get the 4th seed. Unfortunately, wall's injury had the opposite effect.

Sabonis wears him out in practice.
