This might be the Spurs worst year since getting the number one pick in 97 and yet they still have a better record than the Suns.

If Sac trades Bogdan for Kuz they cement themselves as the dumbest franchise in the NBA which is quite the honor with teams like the suns existing.

"The Kings know they would have to include sharpshooter (and soon-to-be restricted free agent) Bogdan Bogdanovic, for starters"

Are they serious?

So Warren, Holmes and Melton, if somehow JJ could keep them, would be valuable pieces here.

Many of our ex players thrive elsewhere. People often say "it was right to get rid of them because it made our team better and is good for them". Yes, good for them, but our team never seems to get that much better. Obviously we are better than last year because we actually have a legit PG and a decent PF....even Saric or Kaminsky are a lot better than what Ryan Anderson or Dragan Bender were last year.

Well I figured that would be obvious and didn't want to bring up his name but yes, I can't imagine seeing that type of stat line for a Suns player..would have been nice to see it on our team.

He just doesn't surprise me anymore. He's as good as advertised and likely better as most expected him to be this early.

Some play well and some play bad.

Bender, Josh Jackson, and Chriss are having terrible (non existant) seasons. Ariza too.

Warren is a very good player and I am not surprised about his performance on the Pacers. What a great scorer.

Melton is having an OK season as a backup, but I think that he is not better than Okobo.

They are about the same and both lack skills to be solid pure backups PG. The Grizzlies have Tyus Jones and Ja Morant there.

I am surprised about Holmes. I did not see a season like that coming from him.

Remember the long thread about trading up for Luka or Young? We'd be all set if McD had the sense to do it. Instead the rebuild never ends.

When is the next mega draft? 2022? Think that is when high school seniors can declare again.

Edit: next year's looks good - http://www.nbadraftroom.com/p/2021-nba-mock-draft.html

The funniest part of greens comment was saying franchises don't get blamed because that couldn't be further from the truth.
